Presumptuous
It is no surprise that you personally believe Obama stumbled. I (and a lot of other people apparently) have the opposite assessment. Fine. But it's really presumptuous to write a column premised on the idea that Obama "stumbled" in the debate as if it were an objective fact. Who exactly are these "most people" you speak of who believe this? Your friends? The only thing I heard in the news is that people were "irritated" by ABC and the moderators, not by Obama. Read Glenn Greenwald's column about the public reaction to the debate. While you're at it, pay attention to what he says about how it's important that journalists use evidence to support their claims.
Sorry if I sound bitter -- ha -- but this column was so predictably disappointing.
