And thanks to TOTUS for the “heads-up.”

P.S.
Make no mistake; Mr Obama is again disinterested, uninvolved and arrogant.  When the New York Times writes a piece like this, you know the brass is tarnishing rapidly:

Obama’s Enthusiasm Gap:

All the post-game punditry aside, President Obama didn’t really blow Wednesday night’s debate in any spectacular or memorable way, the way George H.W. Bush glanced at his watch, or the way Al Gore sighed dramatically. Mr. Obama’s transgression was that he seemed to simply endure it. It was as if he had turned to his advisers at some point and said, “OK, I’ll show up at this thing with Mitt, but I am not getting drawn into some kind of debate.”

In this way, Mr. Obama’s performance, the first of three in any event, probably didn’t change the essential arc of the campaign, which was always going to tighten in the final month. But it did tell us something about what many feel is missing from his presidency.

 Watching the president grimace his way through the restrained back-and-forth reminded me of a conversation I recently had with a friend in Democratic politics, who posited that Mr. Obama simply doesn’t love being president. Not that he doesn’t want the job or believe he should have it, or that its challenges don’t give him plenty of cause for stress or solemnity — just that he doesn’t appear to actually enjoy the daily business of running the country.

Mr Obama is better than this, better than you, better than me, better than all of us.  And we’d damned well best realize it.
