SNL Ribs Obama’s Debate Performance: Distracted by His Anniversary & the High Altitude

Oct. 7, 2012 2:21pm Madeleine Morgenstern

Saturday Night Live poured more salt on President Barack Obama’s first debate performance, portraying him as hopelessly distracted by his wedding anniversary and yes, suffering from Denver’s high altitude.

As Mitt Romney began to speak, Obama realized he had forgotten to get a gift for his wife.

“I can’t believe I forgot the anniversary gift,” Obama said in his head. “This is very bad. OK, I was distracted by the mess I inherited from Bush. But still, I should’ve remembered our anniversary.”

So distracted by brainstorming which last-minute presents he could pick up from the hotel gift shop, Obama declined even to respond when Romney claimed he killed Osama bin Laden.

“Oh boy, this altitude is starting to get to me,” he continued thinking. “What is this, 10 miles above sea level? I can barely keep my head up. I think I might pass out. So lightheaded. Why did I agree to Denver?”

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

The time Obama has been in the W.H. has been one big sickening nightmare.

But Maher maybe gave the game away when he said that Obama spent every one of his million dollar donation on weed before the debate…….So was SNL trying to distract the good folks from this statement? I think so.

Ummmm on the silly Altitude thing? Why is no one making the observation that Mitt Romney has spent the last month in MAINE. If there was any kind of altitude effect, it would effect them both, and therefore there would be no advantage.

Stupid media… go back to eating your Trix ;)

  @STEVESD – clearly your racism blinds you from seeing how the altitude could only possibly effect Obama and not Romney… or whatever the latest nonsensical spin is ;-)
  
  And on a serious note, I’ve thought the exact same thing!

  Romney was in Denver for several days before, plenty of time to aclimatize. Actually only takes a few hours. Regardless, it is a completely ignorant excuse, typical of democrats.
  
  HOWEVER, on perhaps another note for pondering, this would explain the outcome of many sporting events where visiting teams came from sea level.

Media has turned on this country and put her in harms’ way. The ones who have stood for Obama and his lies are nothing but lies themselves. They should be totally ignored and all who sponsor them.

That sorry weak minded Obama is not fit to head up anything, let alone this country. He is not even eligible to be there. He has got most of his funding from people who want America to fail. He is working hard on that.

Whatever the reason for Obama’s performance….we have never heard the truth from him, I have heard the pundits from Ben Stein, Al Gore, to Doug Schoen, Pat Cadell, Geraldo, and OReilly make excuses for him. He cannot stand on a record of positive policies…Period….Media quit making excuses for him.

Ok’ so Romney wiped the stage with Obama;

By Romney winning one debate will not put him over the top; it’s a long way to the Whitehouse. The RNC by now should be screaming loud and clear “MAKE SURE YOU GET OUT AND VOTE”

Obama and gang are playing the numbers game. They are betting that the Obama machine will have more organized supporter’s show up than the republicans. Obama is counting on the 47% free riders, Government union workers, sloppy voter ID laws in battle ground states, all the union gangsters, his favorite minority voters and anybody ells that has drank the cool aid.. You can bet that Obama, the DNC, Major Unions and Acorn (the buses are fueled up and ready to go) have their game plan in place. Let’s not forget that the Obama administration and the shadow bosses will do anything to keep the Whitehouse, legal or not so legal. Let the pass be a teacher and show us the future..

When I was watching the Colorado debate and all the talking heads were saying; Obama was not prepared and he was suffering from altitude clement control.. HA! Obama can just care less.. Obama and his gang already have a strategy plan to make sure they have an full-proof cheating edge to get Obama reelected for another term.. The man is slippery as they come and I would not thrust him.

We must not let this happen…. Vote – Vote – Vote

  He did act like he didn’t have to try….like he had it in the bag. I hope it is not voter fraud he is counting on.
  I think our side has been waiting 4 years for that vote. There is nothing that will keep me home.
  Even if I thought it was fixed I would still get out to vote.
  This year is about freedom. It is the most important election of my lifetime.

The liberals were stunned right after the debate, because the “smartest guy in the room” couldn’t debate his way out of a wet tissue paper bag. Then, by Friday morning, the spin machine kicked into full gear. All of a sudden it was the altitude, the pressure of being president, or not enough ime to practice, any number of lunatic excuses.
The plain truth is that Obama is lazy, not really that smart (perhaps that’s why he sealed his school records), and arrogant as hell.

This a skit to make people feel sorry for Obama. Leopards never change their spots and neither does SNL.. SNL and others will once in a while make fun of Obama but when the chips are down they will circle the wagon around him.

  They were being truthful in that Obama was distracted but not truthful in how they portrayed Romney. They got their shots in!

Comedians and Satyrists are seldom heavily invested in their ideologies. It’s easy for them to switch sides when they see a fresh target to mock.

The “Shadow Party” manipulates them to do their hidden agenda.

There is no moral clarity and honor in the Marxist plan for One World Order, .. only conquest for the Ruling Class. What’s worse is the alliance with the Fascist Supremacist Muslims.

The Endgame is millions of dead and suffering so the Ideologues can achieve their purpose.

Not funny on two levels:
More ‘smoke and mirrors’ by focusing on Moochelle instead of what 70 million debate watchers witnessed; an empty suit who ruined the ECONOMY.
GE protecting their investment…..
Secondly, Fred Armisen is so much better as Obama.
Jay Pharoh is a two- trick pony. Denzel & Will Smith.

  Sheriff Arpaio found irrefutable evidence of multiple felonies by Obama. BO illegally used government property in the commission of a crime when released and posted his forged birth certificate on the White House web server. Additionally Sheriff Arpaio proved Obama’s “selective service registration” (draft registration) is also fraudulent. http://youtu.be/alVzyfptF80

Even the liberals are now acknowledging, that the liberals are always having to make excuses for Obama, to try and cover up for his total incompetence.
It’s the great awakening.
