Why did President Obama do so poorly at last night's debate?

MSNBC's Chris Matthews asked, "What was he doing?"

Democratic strategist James Carville said, "Romney came in with a chainsaw."

Commentator Andrew Sullivan said, "This was a disaster... He choked... He may even have lost the election tonight."

CNN did a poll of watchers right after the debate that showed by a margin of almost 3-to-1 – 67% to 25% - that they thought Mitt Romney won the first debate.

What happened to the mesmerizing president who captivated audiences in Berlin and Cairo more than three years ago?

Where was the visionary who saw a path forward for the country that was so compelling he became the first African-American president in our history?

Watching the debate last night, I got the impression Obama didn't want to be there. He seemed annoyed at times and disengaged. And he allowed Romney to get back in the race big time.

Very strange........Pale shadow of what he was 4 years ago. Like he's sick or something...

No teleprompter - No Bama.

A perfect example for Obama's you didn't built that line.

He owes his presidency to that teleprompter, without it he would be ripping tickets at the movie theater right now.

That's pretty funny. What kind of people vote for a pot smoking nitwit whose click was named the "choom gang".

"The reason Obama did so poorly is he has been busy running the country not like romney who has all the time in the world to practice for a debate."
