Wednesday night's Presidential debate is being criticized from all points on the political spectrum and even from nonpartisan professionals. Whether it was the format (bizarre), the moderator (ineffective and bordering on incompetent), Romney ( hyper and rude), or Pres. Obama (suffering from altitude sickness?), the whole sad event speaks to the low state of American politics.
This year I tried to listen to the debate on radio. But the event was so disjointed, disorganized, and weird that I had to switch stations after about twenty minutes. Willard Romney gave me a headache. I was shocked at his rudeness in repeatedly interrupting a sitting President of the United States. I noted Mr. Obama's lack of energy and the absence of targeted rejoinders, but still felt he did a reasonably good job in measuring up to the challenge of Romney's diatribes.
And where were any other candidates? This debate badly need a Ross Perot, someone who in a few words could puncture the bubble of hubris surrounding this mediocre event. What a spectacle of less-than-Presidential televised theatre! America can do better.
