    Someone actually wants me to give a damn about a debate 15 months before the election? Not going to happen. Some actually wants me to give a damn about the first NFL game of the season? Not going to happen.

    Really not much different from the over-hyped deficit reduction deadline

    Google "Obama Snubs Congress" and "Congress Snubs Obama," and you'll break even.

    Guess that golf game with Boehner was not the bonding experience that Obama had hoped for.

    Wait a minute...if you agree with me I might have to change my opinion. I don't think I can live in a world where I see anything the same way as you do. This is depressing...

    Save us, joint session schedulers!!!

    Still. Obama, inside the leather on Libya.

    I would have loved to have caddied for that round. I can see it now...

    Boehner: What did you have on that one?
    Obama: Give me a four
    Boehner: Uhhh...you might want to count them up again
    Obama: I'm the president, it was a four.

    Time will tell. I'm unclear when Gaddafi became a bad guy again. I thought he had moved to "friend of USA " status when he gave up his nuclear stockpile.

    Obama: Bill Clinton taught me how to count strokes on a golf course.

    When he went back to the Axis-of-Evil goatee.

    I agree that both side look like dicks on this one, but I agree that Obama looks weak as a result.

    I think one of the reasons that keeps happening is because he's underestimating the distances that the other side will go to to make him look bad, and let's be honest, both sides do it to the other when it's their turn.

    I just don't think Hillary Clinton would have ever made the same mistake, and I think this is yet another example of Obama's lack of experience coming back to haunt him.

    This really isn't that big of a deal, but the president looking weak again and again could come back to haunt him.

    You have to admit it did make him look ominous.
