Holy crap:
The Democrat, who is aligned with the Obama campaign and has been an unofficial adviser on occasions, said that David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist, was stunned that the President left the stage feeling that he had won the debate.

'To his credit, the President believes that debates are about substance rather than performance. He felt that his argument about the direction this country should take was much stronger than Romney's. Unfortunately, that's not the way modern debates work.'

During his debate preparation in Henderson, Nevada, Obama broke off to visit a campaign field office. There, he joked with a volunteer about how his advisers were 'keeping me indoors all the time' to practice. 'It's a drag. They're making me do my homework.

Med students are going to spend YEARS writing theses on this guy's ego and narcissism.

That bolded part is the key bit: Obama did nothing but attack the strawmen his campaign has been hoisting all summer long. When he had to deal with the REAL, LIVE Mitt Romney he folded.

It's also telling that so many democrats think that the 47% line is such a winner for them. Did they forget bitter clingers? Did they forget "you didn't build that"? Did they forget Biden's Col. Jessup moment about taxes just last week? This is what happens when you live inside a bubble of narcissistic stupidity.
