To those on the radical right who somehow think the debate did anything other than allow Romney to stick both feet in his mouth  - be prepared for a shock ... American voters are not as stupid as the media thinks they are ... neither is this President naive to the maneuvers of the media ...

Supporters of OUR President can take heart in the following analysis which the polls will bare out.

This debate was a gimmee ... to allow both Romney and the media to collectively fill the gaps and stick both of their feetS in their mouths ...

One advantage the media always has is that pundits can react to news and then manipulate it to increase ratings and therefore increase corporate profits ... Romney as to be expected merely flipped and flopped and was prepared for a soundbite war that never came ...  so was the media ..

Thus both Romney and the media had a huge gap to fill. The President was just plain boring ... no personal attacks and just facts.

This President is much too smart to fall into that chess trap ...

I'm not saying that he knew beforehand to what degree the media would take the bait or even that the media would have ignored Romney's babbling in deference to a great headline ....  

BUT OUR President went into this debate knowing he wasn't going to be trading soundbites ...  he didn't need to repeat what everyone knows ... the 47% and the tax returns are legend and will continue to speak to Americans for him!

Supporters of this President should take heart and watch the polls .... you will be pleasantly surprised ..
