During the first debate in Denver, tens of millions of Americans were gathered around their TV sets, watching Obama stink. John Kerry has now joined Al Gore in support of the theory that Obama’s awful performance was due to the high altitude.
In a way, I agree. I, too, think Obama suffered from altitude sickness; but it wasn’t Denver’s height above sea-level. It was the dizzying altitude of his own vaulting ego that made him light-headed and insufficiently alert to the threat posed by a sharp, enthusiastic and committed opponent. Pride, fall.

And Democrats made fun of "stupid" George Bush!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the altitude - why was it greater for Obama than it was for Romney?
ReplyDeleteAs a lightweight, Obama floats above his opponents.

Milan Kundera comes to mind, kind of fits (Unbearable Lightness of Being):
ReplyDelete'The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become. Conversely, the absolute absence of burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into heights, take leave of the earth and his earthly being, and become only half real, his movements as free as they are insignificant.'
