I am not a supporter of Obama. However, his foreign affairs seem to be about building diplomacy with other countries. Unfortunately, he has failed. This is because other countries can easily see that he is not serious about peaceful negotiations and fulfilling promises he made upon becoming President. So, I just gave my view, despite the fact that I have never supported Obama nor voted for him.

I guess you have already have given me your answer by deflecting that last night's debate wasn't about foreign policy. In short, you have no idea what Romney's foreign affairs policies are.

I don't think the President was sick, but he looked and acted very tired to me. He's been out campaigning hard, so he could well have just been really fatigued.
At this late stage, fatigue sets in, and any candidate can come down with it at any time. Obama was out on the trail while Mitt was rehearsing.
Who knows? This could completely reverse by the next debate, as Mitt is hitting the trail hard today, doing his best to make hay out of the debate. he could be the one most tired in the second.

...and by the third, they could both be punchy.

Maybe that's because the tax payers are footing the bill whether for official travel, his campaign appearances or his vacations.

Foreign affairs are not as exciting to most, but Obama has every advantage - and the whole world will be cheering for him. Go get him, O!
Axelrod has INSISTED that this was not a planned maneuver. He has been asked time and again today and every time his response has been that there was no coaching to tell Obama to be laid back, non-aggressive, and ultimately absent from the debate.

Axelrod is just as stymied by O's performance as everyone else.

It would be weird if Obama did a total flip-flop at the next debate and became "someone else." He might be accused of trying to play Al Gore or Romney!...But I think we will see some reversals...I wonder if Obama wanted to come across as older and wiser last night. (And more serious and realistic.)...Romney definitely seemed like the idealist with his "head in the clouds" last night. (With few detailed plans.)

He remains the same goon who trashed 47%, the same shifty character who hides his tax returns and runs from his Bain involvement, the same flip-flopping, position-changing, slimy pretender who supports that disastrous "trickle-down" economic policy that failed under Bush and Reagan. He hails from the party of Bush, refuses to acknowledge that Bush existed, and refuses to acknowledge that the President's gains would be substantially greater had he not been hampered by Congressional Republican obstructionism.

President Obama may not have been himself with this uncontrolled, blabbering, babbling, pompus imbecile with the enormously large head, but he stands superior in what he has been trying to do for this country. He was given the worst mess in history courtesy of people just like Mitt Romney, and has had the misfortune of struggling against a Republican contingent in Congress that is the most shameful in history. He came to seriously debate Romney and was met with a fast-talking flim-flam joke of a character. What a waste of time.

Nobody won the debate last night. If anything, the American public LOST.
One ray of sunshine is that it has proven that this is right is VERY TIGHT and no voter can be complacent and not vote.

I'm beginning to wonder if a BJ in the Presidential Limosuine on the way to the debate venue completely sapped his motiviation to do anything else for the rest of the day. LOL

As someone who recently moved to Denver, if he had one of those headaches like I did when I came here and didn't drink enough water. . .

then I would say. . possible. I was in HORRIBLE shape. . .
