Look, Ma, the Emperor is Naked!

Lots of rumblings on Facebook calling once and for all for Obama's college transcripts (did he really say "me and him" at one point? I missed that).

One of my friends texted me to say, "BO got schooled last night."

Exactly.

My reply: I hope the nation was schooled, as well. This was the Peter Principle President, the naked emperor in all his diminished, faded glory. With no raucous crowd to encourage him, his attempts at humor and snarkiness fell flat. It was just he (himself? him? grammar police, help!), the facts, and an opponent who actually knows what he's talking about.

Obama had nothing to say. What's been clear to most of us on the right from day one I pray is finally clear to at least some of those on the left, that Barack Obama is in over his head. He has no idea what he's talking about.

Other comments I've heard:

"The broader problem for Obama that surfaced tonight: He's acting like a liberal ideologue running against a pragmatic problem-solver" (Patrick Ruffini)

"This isn't breaking news to us, but to the rest of you who seem so confused, this is the result of an inept media. You didn't know either man" (The Right Dame).

"That faint sound? Millions of faded Obama posters coming down" (IowaHawk)

"That wasn't a debate so much as Mitt Romney just took Obama for a cross country drive strapped to the roof of his car" (Mark Hemmingway)."

"Obama looked very tired. I'd be too if I spent all my time in partying in Vegas, chatting with Letterman, & livin' it up with Jay-Z" (Kevin Eder).

"Chance of unilateral US action in Libya in the coming fourteen days just went up by seventy thousand percent" (Josh Trevino).

Poor Andrew Sullivan. Start at the bottom and scroll up to the top. Pretty hilarious.
