Al Gore Blames Denver Altitude for President Obama's Performance

(not clicky)

Romney high-jacked the debate!
 
Re: Altitude Sickness...

How many threads about this do we need?

sigh... sorry, I hadnt seen the others... thought this was too precious to keep hidden away in a lockbox...

hopefully a mod will put them right up close together...

can you believe it, though... Gore giving debate advice... that's priceless

but lets not pretend there arent 40 threads about 47%...
 
The aircraft cabin was pressurized. I'm pretty sure Air Force 1 normally flies higher than 5,000 feet. What the heck kind of aviator are you that you don't know this?

Maybe he should have just opened the window.

Cabin Altitude is a term that specifically relates the relative pressure altitude inside the pressure vessel (i.e. cabin) to the standard atmospheric pressure for a given elevation. So, when I say that the cabin altitude was about 5,000 feet, I mean the air inside the cabin was the same pressure as Denver. Air Force 1 probably flies around FL350 (i.e. 35,000 feet).

The problem is, I knew what I was talking about, but you didn't have enough knowledge to understand.
 
Stupid is a rather harsh word to apply against the leader of the free world.

Presidentially Challenged might be a more appropriate term.

A skunk by another other name still stinks.

It was intended (unsuccessfully it seems) as a joke, ksu_aviator.

Yes, this guy has been in way over his head for a long while now through various positions and eventually it had to come to this The public spanking during these debates will continue.

Maybe Joe Biden will do better. (That's another joke!)
 
Not really as far fetched as it might seem. Anyone who knows jack about pro football knows the Broncos have a unique home field advantage because of the effect the altitude has on opposing teams. It's also possible Obama had some kind of bug or was just fatigued. Mostly I think he was just frustrated by an opponent who lied and disavowed most of what he has been proposing for the last year.

Slightly liberal my ass.
 
The office of President of the United States does not include the option to fail and then make timid little schoolgirl excuses. There are no excuses. Americans, and particularly the President, absolutely must win at all times, no excuses. This is why Obama needs to be replaced, he was at his top in the debate. Romney simply squashed him like a bug under his foot.

It's difficult to believe that the American loons are so far removed from the spirit that built this country that they leap to embrace such silliness about the leader of the free world. It's ok with the loons for their silly little pretend president to be just too high up in the air to think clearly. Absolutely disgusting. A leader must be stronger than those he leads, not a simpering little whinny baby. Maybe Obama just needed a Twinkie or a big hug.
