You know you’re in trouble when MSNBC’s Chris Matthews loses the tingle in his leg and starts shouting that the President should watch more cable TV for debate pointers.  Last night was a fantastic victory for Governor Mitt Romney.  And President Barack Obama looked like he wanted to be anywhere else on the planet.  Like back on the campaign trail giving speeches to adoring audiences who don’t ask him tough questions.  Or out on the golf course with his buddies.  Anywhere but on a stage in Denver with guy reminding him that for all the hopey changey stuff the economy stinks, unemployment is high, the deficit is growing instead of shrinking, gross domestic product is growing slower today than it was two years ago.  

And all his favorite lines…about tax breaks for companies that outsource to China, and tax breaks for millionaires…all those lines that work with the complacent press corps on the rare occasion he deigns to answer questions…they’re not working.  This is what happens when a child of privilege…educated in private schools, ivy league college, President of Harvard law review without any writing, Nobel peace price for nothing…and a staff that tells you you’re the smartest guy in the room…and suddenly for the first time…you’re fighting just to keep your job…and a national tv audience sees the proof in front of them that YOU’RE NOT.
