(13,179 posts)30. Which Emperor was naked this time tho?
The Obama emperor was actually pretty well clothed, as always. Obama had the substance. He was natural, calm, and intelligent. Many of the "flaws" some perceived in his performance are already proving to be good calls.
Emperor Romney was naked as a jaybird. He always has been. He was sweating, teary-eyed, and two-faced.
I'm definitely not asking for people not to call things as they see them. I am saying that things were a lot better than they saw them. And I'm saying that we should go into the next debate with self-doubt as Plan Z.
