Did You Know...

Last night President Obama was nearly universally declared the loser of the debate. According to a visibly upset Chris Matthews, Obama clearly needs to watch more MSNBC:

Where was Obama tonight?! He should watch, well not just Hardball, Rachel [Maddow], he should watch you, he should watch the Reverend Al [Sharpton], he should watch Lawrence [O'Donnell]. He would learn something about this debate.

There’s a hot debate going on in this country and you know where it’s being held? Here on this network is where we’re having this debate. We have our knives out, we go after the people on the facts, what was he doing tonight?! He went in there disarmed, he was like, ‘oh wait, an hour and a half, I think I can get through this thing and I don’t even look at this guy.’
[...]
Obama should watch MSNBC, my last point. He will learn something every night on this show and all these shows. This stuff we’re watching, it’s like first grade for most of us. We know all this stuff.

Yes, that’s obviously where Obama went wrong — he doesn’t watch Al Sharpton enough. An enthusiastic declaration of “you didn’t build that we much” would have won over viewers big time.

I heard a rumor that President Obama was off his game because about a minute after the debate started he remembered he forgot to buy Michelle an anniversary present. That and teleprompters weren’t allowed. Mostly the teleprompter thing.
