The Real Obama Shows Up and Some In the Press are Asking if it's the "Real Obama."




From the UK Telegraph  US election 2012: Will the real Obama please stand up


But voters also saw a different Obama. And they worry that the tired, unfocused, and defensive fellow who lost the debate actually is the real Obama.
 
I have said it before and I'll repeat it again and again.  The Obama people saw in the debate is the "real Obama."  This is the Obama that shows up in White House meetings and meetings with foreign heads of state.  The one the public sees reading his script on the TelePrompTer at campaign rallies is as fake as the Disney animatronic figures.   


I'm giving myself permission to quote myself
Obama is a declaimer, not a debater. Give him a speechwriter and a TelePrompTer and he’ll rabble rouse with the best of them. Speaking improvisationally, he gaffe prone ("You didn't build that") and literally gets lost in his sentences. This is evident in his press conferences in which he filibusters the compliant White House press corps in order to run out the clock from even the puff ball questions he gets asked. He has a supply of talking points and he repeats them during his public appearances. His comfort zone is limited to those talking points and he will not get beyond them. His debate demeanor is amused contempt, an expression he showed during the debate with Romney.
 
This is the reason the economy is in the state it's in.  This is the reason that his foreing policy is imploding around the globe.  You just saw the real Obama for 90 minutes. Scared yet?
