Obama, naked and alone ... during the debate

Who can forget the whiny, little furtive and bewildered looks Obama gave moderator Jim Lehrer throughout the first presidential debate; imploring Lehrer as it were “C’mon Jim, help me out here Buddy.”, while he was being overwhelmed by adversary Mitt Romney.

News commentators observed that Obama looked “peeved”, “frustrated”, and “irritated” during the debate – and well he was ! But not for all the reasons they assumed.

What if Obama had been assured by his close advisor, Valerie Jarrett, before the debate that Lehrer was on Obama’s side and could be counted upon to bail out Obama if he got into deep water just as the Liberal Press has always done?

But Obama’s pleading looks were so overt, so desperate and so unmistakable to everyone and he performed so badly no one could have helped him that night.

It's been reported in the aftermath of the debate and looking for a scapegoat, Jarrett confronted a campaign official believed to be Juliana Smoot behind closed doors in a Whitehouse office in an explosive exchange loud enough to be overheard by other staffers, “He said he was one of ours!  What the hell happened?  He was one of ours, that’s what we were told. What the hell happened?”

And the reasonable question of course is, was she screaming about Lehrer?
