After last night, the rest of the world observed our POTUS essentially being "lapped" a few times in a track meet. I wonder if they feel pity that we have such a POTUS, or embarrassment?

We now see how and why the Russians, Chinese and Muslim nations have been kicking us around the planet.

The world pitied us after the Clinton impeachment over extramarital sex, and the two elections of GWB. But of course, you didn't give a **** what the world thought back then, did you?

I actually travel around the World and i know what other people in other Countries think about our President............ They have a lot of respect for him..... A LOT.
Last night will be seen by the World as a 'off night" for Obama and will not feel embarrassment for Obama as they have seen these kind of things with their own politicians..... nothing new for a Politician to have a bad night. Big knee jerk reactions will not happen over ONE debate and once the substance or Romney's new transformation last night is looked at it will be seen as no different to all of his other changing reincarnations.
The World will not be walking around today feeling embarrassed about last nights debate.... they have their own problem's to worry about and a debate in America in a Presidential campaign will not be anywhere on their radar.... get real here.

Precisely.
I spent 11 years living and working abroad (five countries, three continents), and I can confirm that this post is completely accurate.
By a wide margin, the rest of the world (not that Hawkeye really gives two cents about the rest of the world) is overwhelmingly in favor of Obama.

Right

Last night was the first time ANYONE saw the real Obama. He has had teleprompters, managed audiences, and edited speeches to cover for him so far.

Ask them now!

I have, thanks for the suggestion.
The rest of the world might have recognized that Obama's performance last night was lackluster, but for the most part people in other countries are much more concerned about a Romney presidency than they are about a poor performance in a debate.
Again, it's not as if you care. So why do you ask?

I have asked them. I spoke to people in the UK today and in Israel and all of the peope i spoke to understand that it takes more than ONE debate to win a Election and they said that Romney was rude and arrogant........ bit different to how you think the world saw last nights debate.

Obama is quite popular outside the USA if he loses there will be disbelief in much of the world.

Not surprising since he's more interested in his world image than he is with helping Americans by addressing the country's problems.

Obama was a joke. Very clear who was in command, poised, confident, positive, and more presidential.

Obama when faced with hardcore true facts about his failed stimulus, lousy policies and tanking economy, can't seem to remember why he is there. So much of the time he was flustered. At least Romeny could look him straight into the eye, Obama hardly looked Romney in the eye.

It was friggin hilarious, that is the real Obama, a made up man by the slanted a-- media. Who was not there to lend their helping hand.

Which by the way he did so bad because of lack of oxygen according to Al Gore, another whacko.
