The fat lady she’s a warming up. But Obama’s rather large lead in the national polls is not what this letter is about. No, this letter is about last night’s debate. The opinion of almost everyone with a pulse was that you had to come away a big winner and Barack pretty much just had to resist the urge to call you a freaking jackass. I don’t know how he did it…stayed so composed I mean. He looked Presidential. You looked childish. Along with those observations, I’d like to offer a few more…

1) Bringing up Sarah Palin’s special needs son in reference to her ability to lead the country was completely RIDICULOUS. While I’m sure her struggles as a special needs parent are many, they do not make her capable of being the President (or Vice President for that matter). We know that she’s a mavericky game changing hockey mom…and we know that her son has Downs Syndrome…not autism. Oops.

2) Remember when Barack said, “Even FOX News disputes it, and that doesn’t happen very often when it comes to accusations about me.” That was a verbal bitch slap. He got ya on that one. If FOX disputes it you should pretty much let it go. Go back to insisting he’s a USA hating Muslim terrorist…I think FOX is still perpetuating that one.

3) All that huffing and puffing into the microphone…and the eyerolling…and the disgruntled crotchety old manness you were up to? Made you look terrible…and potentially a little crazy…and definitely pretty obnoxious.

4) The interrupting. Completely rude. And annoying. And not very Presidential.

5) Joe? the plumber? If his income is over $250,000 a year? He can afford to pay a little more in taxes. Although I question just how busy of a plumbing business he’s running if his income is over 250K. And BTW (that’s by the way in internetspeak…internet…you know on a computer), a little factoid I found says According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean annual wage for plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters in the United States in 2007 was $47,350. He wouldn’t face higher taxes under Obama.

6) The patronizing tone when you say things like, “I admire so much Sen. Obama’s eloquence” is kinda snarky. I’m on to you on that one. You don’t admire his eloquence anymore than I admire George W. Bush’s eloquence (assuming he can even say eloquence).
