I'd note that FOX News couldn't even stand it and had to avert their eyes and instead talk about what Republicans would think about Obama's words...

Kind of like you.

as it always is with Obama...the least accomplished person in the room was arrogantly lecturing everyone else about what they needed to do to make him happy...it was a pretty pathetic performance...what ever happened to "I won"?

Obama was facing off in an unscripted debate with what, most of the House Republicans? And the notion that this "one man" clearly held his own against dozens prepared with their best talking points?

If he was in fact the "least accomplished" person in the room, then this speaks quite poorly about the future of the Republican party!

Perhaps you could actually watch the thing and then come make up some equally inane remarks.

I did, he was an arrogant ass as usual...

you are just shocked to see him speak without the teleprompter...after the pics with him dragging all of the teleprompter gear in to talk to a bunch of grammar schoolers, he needed to do some damage control to prove to his handful of remaining supporters that he's not the most rediculous clown that they've ever voted for...

Adam Nagourney termed the debate "remarkable" in the NYT.
Must be true.

I believe I'm the one who defends Obama's speaking ability quite often. He killed McCain in the debates with this intellect, understanding of the issues and his wit. This was no exception.

You can make your pithy non sequitur remarks all you want, the simple fact is it was a hundred to one and Obama held his own quite well against all the prepared talking points.

The parts I saw he Brilliantly didn't answer the questions that were FAIRLY posed to him. He was pushy and arrogant and avoided the subject entirely which tells me he doesn't have a good grasp of the FACTS. Other than those two minor details, he did a magnificent job
