Prez showed self-discipline in both debates

One thing Prez O proved in both debates was that he has self-discipline. He wanted (motives can be disputed) to present himself as a somber, non-confrontational opponent in the first debate and as a driven, unapologetic, confident opponent in the second debate. And he did. He changed styles, it appears, with ease.

OTOH, Rmoney was the same frantic, "teacher-pick-me-I'm-desperate-for-your-approval" lying asshole in both. I've never seen him behave *any* other way.

I think the only way Rmoney could win a poker game would be to steal the pot.

I can't get this little ditty below out of my head, so I'll dump it here.

Mitt, Mitt, man who can't sit
Opens his mouth and out comes shit
Prez, Prez, believe what he says
Can sit on a stool, can sit on a chaise.

Yep. There was only one President on stage in either debate, and it wasn't Romney. n/t porphyrian Oct 2012 #1

Romney's language really deteriorated and he became inarticulate. He did do better the first round, but .. we've forgotten alll about that now!

Romney is very jittery and nervous. He exudes little confidence except his failed attempt to zing Obama on the Benghazi statement. The fool thought he really had it in the bag, practically dancing a jig......Pssssssssssss balloon deflated ssssss wh..wh...wha..what?????
