LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- With a touch of humor and at one point admonition, President Obama urged supporters at a Los Angeles fundraiser here not to lose enthusiasm for his campaign just because he had one lousy debate performance.
The president kicked off his remarks with an allusion to last Wednesday night that the whole crowd seemed to pick up on. Praising his opening acts at the Nokia Theater here, which included Stevie Wonder, Jon Bon Jovi and Katy Perry, Obama said, “These guys perform flawlessly night after night.”
“I can’t always say the same,” he continued, waiting a beat for comic timing.
And later he reminded his audience that he had some imperfect moments during the last campaign as well.
“Everybody always remembers the victory but they don’t always remember the bumps in the road; things always look good in retrospect.
“But in the middle of it, we were – we made all kinds of mistakes. We goofed up, I goofed up, but the American people carried us forward,” urging his supporters not to forget that they stuck by him even when he hiccupped in 2008 – something he hopes they do over the next 30 days.

5 years ago I never bought into the Obama schuck and jive. Each and everyday since I have been proven correct. The only supporters for the feckless President are the usual welfare queens, union hacks and those whose idea of the American dream is that they are entitled to something off of the wages and efforts of others.
No one believes this B-S except dumb FUX NEWS nation...
Newbook, great comment, Maybe you should stick with ms/nbc and listen to Al Sharpton. What true leaders you libs have!
Obama is a pathetic, stupid, lazy liar. The "outpouring of support" is from morons who think that welfare is great and they enjoy worshipping a lying idiot. It shows what is driving the left, they are racists and to lazy to earn their own way.
The dream of the left, is for you to work hard, get taxed to death while they sit on their collective asses and destroy our once great country.
Romney 2012
Damn this gets old.
No wonder dumb FUX NEWS doesn't allow it's fans to post on their website, it would be too embarrasing even shameful...
Romney and Ryan lie every time they open their mouths. Not just lies of omission but, blatantly outrageous lies. Ryan needs to go to confession and Romney needs to do whatever it is in his religion to confess his sins, I assume that lying is still a sin even if you do it to try to win an election.
Obama/Biden 2012
please give specific details!
Hold your breath,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,they never have details.
All they can do is spout DNC/NBC party line crap, just like those old commies from the USSR is the 1960's.
Maybe next time, Obama can explain why cutting $4 billion over ten years will reduce a deficit of $12 TRILLION over a decade and a total debt of $21 TRILLION after his rule.
$12,000,000,000,000.00
- 4,000,000,000.00

Gee you people blame one guy for all the mess...Maybe we need to get rid of Congress since they created the mess..After all, if the blame is on one guy;Why keep Congress on payroll? Oh hail King Obama....LOL
The "ONE GUY" is the problem,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,he is a loser of a president and needs replaced. Everything he has ever said in front of a camera is an outright lie.
Romney 2012,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,let's "Hope" we can save America from socialism.
People who believe in socialism will make any excuse they can to make Obama the winner in this debate. That is such a joke. He clearly didn't know what he was doing. If he thought Romney was lying why didn't he say something OR debate him like he was suppose to. They can make all the excuses they what, but everyone knows that Obama lost that debate!!!!!!
Obama had as much time as Romney to prepare for his debate, but clearly demonstrated his lack of talent without a script written speech with his Teleprompter. Obama has failed in his 4 years..let's take a look:
1. Highest unemployement since the Great Depression - 4 years of unemployment exceeding 8%...this has happened only one other time....1929.
2. Obama has increased the National Debt by 5 Trillion dollars...this is the highest added debt by any President since George Washington.
3. Obama foreign policy has failed - he has catered to the Muslims for the past 4 years and they reward him with killing his US Ambassador and 2 US soldiers.
4. Obamacare which was forced down our throats is disliked by 67% of the American public...the majority feels its a failed agenda.
5. Putin wants Obama to win the presidency...because he knows he's weak with defense. Obama wants to reduce US military might lower than Russia for the 1st time in history.
6. Obama has increased food stamps by 40% in his 4 years...it's now $6 Billion per month and welfare is 10 times that amount...per month!
7. The US is more racially divided now that Obama is in office as he is a very devisive president constantly creating the illusion that the wealthy are the root cause of all economic issues. Hitler said the same thing.
Obama promised change is 2008 - this was pure political rhetoric...not the truth!
Obama can lose enthusiasm in his first debate but he doesn't want voters to lose enthusiasm.
Hows about all you misguided sheeple watch 2016, which everything was fact checked and wasn't put out by any campaign to run against him.. quite interesting to seen the real Obama. See what you really voted for! you might have second thoughts on doing it again..
You Sir, are a Scholar and a Gentleman. The Movie NoBama 2016 is EXACTLY correct. Any true moderate or Independent needs to see it for their own assessment.
obama one of america's BIGGEST mistakes!!!!!!!!!!!! he's no leader, he's only an actor!!!!!!!! you have been deceived!!!!!!!!!!!
Reagan is one of america's BIGGEST mistakes!!!!!!!!!!!! he's no leader, he's only an actor!!!!!!!! you have been deceived!!!!!!!!!!!
You prefer a ventriliquist act .....a dummy and his tele-prompter...remember Howdy Doody, its the bama-doodie show
Talk about bumps in the road....obama is a sinkhole, and hes consuming the entire country, hopefully the koolaid drinkers will all fall in too...while the conservatives re-build a New super highway right over the landfill.
outhouse or whatever: All the american people heard for almost four years was the obama virus of palindromics(reoccurring) screaming of bush's fault and "his economy" and his wars and money spent." not once did obama take any credit for the negative in which he also has built since in office. bush is not president. but he sure did glow, crow, and claim that it was he, that brought the unemployment down from 8.1-7.8what a crock. he has also the symptoms of panatrophy of the mind and brain. He lost the first debate. he will lose the second debate and the third. know why. No liberal can come up agains a true conserative. it is like being in a karate match and trying to stop and deflect a flying round house kick...impossibe, because you don't see it coming. unless you know what to look for when the process begins.
The bottom line is Romney will say anything to get in the White House. He wasn't presidential material when his feeble attempt at it failed last time he tired, and he still is not. The man is self centered, sneeky and all for appearance. His blunders can't be over looked, he says what he think about the 47%. He does not like poor people and think ALL on government assistant are lazy. He is the only want to be president that set himself up for failure by mearly opening his mouth. The lack of confidence clearly shows in his sissy walk and nervous smile. My vote goes to President Obama.
The title should actually read, "Obama urges supports, I'm no good for you". Obama's quote of the Day: "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006~
Ummmm, so I wonder why in 4 years our debt is now over 16 Trillion... Thanks Barack for adding another 7 Trillion... thanks alot...
Apparently Mittens is running for Liar in Chief.
a real leader needs no telepromter to speak!!!!!!!!! a real leader would of had the debt going down and the budget put into place!!!!!!!!!!! a real leader would not be a racist!!!!!!!!!!!! a real leader solves problems!!!!!!!!!!!!
go party with jay z, barry!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama, voters can't help you out! You have not done a damn thing. Your poor performance as a sitting president is pathetic. Collect your funds and clean up the WH. Oh better yet don't worry about cleaning it, you have yet to use it. My bad. How much do we put on the VP debate? Nothing at all Biden will spend moretime trying to carry the president, he can't do it, he gaffs way too much! Well, well, what else?
Dear DAL,
You and Obama can keep the kool-aid.
respectfully,
The American People
Go Chief1..you rock baby.
President Obama has a one-man job agenda, instead of a national jobs agenda. Getting himself re-elected has become his full-time occupation. While all incumbents necessarily devote a portion of their time to campaigning and fundraising, Mr. Obama has ceased to keep up with the basic functions of the office. Meanwhile, the nation plummets further into debt.
On Tuesday, Moody’s Investor Service warned it would downgrade America’s credit rating unless Washington comes up with specific policies to reduce the ratio of federal debt to gross domestic product.
The credit analysts want to see a budget deal reached on the so-called “fiscal cliff,” which is the combination of the $1.2 trillion sequester and $4.5 trillion in tax hikes slated to hit on the first days of the new year. In response, House Speaker John A. Boehner said he is “not confident at all” that this can be done with the no-show leadership at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. “The House has done its job on both the sequester and on the looming tax hikes that’ll cost our economy some 700,000 jobs,” the Ohio Republican told reporters on Tuesday. “And both of these, where’s the president? Where’s the leadership? Absent without leave.” Thirteen months ago, Standard and Poor's downgraded the U.S. long-term sovereign credit rating to AA+ over the failure to deal responsibly with the rapidly mounting debt. Since then, America added $1.5 trillion in debt, bringing the total to $16 trillion.
Congress is trying to force the president to do something about it. The House of Representatives will vote this week on a bill ordering Mr. Obama to come up with a plan by Oct. 15 for replacing the first $110 billion in automatic cuts — half of which comes from defense. The GOP House passed a bill in May that proposed alternative savings from a variety of programs, much of it out of normally untouchable mandatory programs. Mr. Obama said he would veto the House bill, but neither he nor the Democratic Senate have bothered to come up with something else.
It’s not clear even passing a law can get the president working. Mr. Obama ignored a Friday legal deadline for a detailed report on how his administration would deal with the spending changes. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney would only say on Friday that the report would be submitted to Congress “late next week,” and that it was not ready because there are “complex issues involved.”
Mr. Obama has also been a no-show to more than half of the vital, daily intelligence briefings. A new Government Accountability Institute investigation found Mr. Obama attended the presidential daily briefing a mere 44 percent of the time in his first term. As the re-election campaign geared up, the commander in chief showed up only 38 percent of the time. Even with unemployment stuck above 8 percent, Mr. Obama hasn’t convened a jobs council meeting since January.
Voters will soon decide whether they want an Oval Office occupant who puts his own career above their welfare or a president who has his priorities intact.
Barry ... your whole first term has been nothing but a mistake. Do you want me to list everything that you've done wrong?
Nah ... it would take me all morning. Everyone knows the screw ups you've made and how it has effected the country negatively. We're all living with the bomb that you tossed into the middle of the American people. What a schmuck.
A week after the debate and the revisionists are already re-writing it as an Obama win!
Does he think that he will perform any better during #2 or #3?
Democrats are very uncomfortable with the truth. They have to twist it, color it and re-write it because it is so damaging to them naked.
All you needed was to watch this scumbag's face during the entire debate. He did not want to be there.
Again, an Old French saying can explain his loyal fans...
Aux pays des Aveugles, les borgnes sont roix.
In the land of the blind, one-eyed men are kings.
One Republican comic said he thinks President Obama did a lot better against Clint Eastwood than against Gov. Romney in the debate........hahahahahaha!!!!!! .......it is said......the worst bankrupt is the man who lost his enthusiasm!!!!......
It is really not possible to hold on to the good or the bad they both will change.......
Change is the nature of life.......
Americans, let us keep our values positive.....
Values become our destiny.....
There is no dress rehearsal, this is one day in our life...
...................VOTE.................
........OBAMA/BIDEN 2012.......
...............FORWARD................
Uh, no, I don't think so.
Yeah, Lean Forward Again
"FORWARD" The theme of Soviets during the 80's and 90's........GREAT idea.
Let's see, it's time for Nobel Prizes to be handed out. Maybe Obama is eying another one with this little sob story.
OBAMA
One Big Ass Mistake America. I just voted Romney/Ryan!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama begs forgiveness from the Hollywood elite. He knows he can't lose the Hollywood elite because they are what made this country great.
Before it became Obama care it is was Romney care... How all these yahoos can not see that their man Willard is really a liberal democarat is beyond me... It was all an act until he got the nomination... It is ..."etcheskech time" now...Time for the real LIBERAL Romney....If Romney wins... you Tea Partiers loose... If Obama wins... you loose again...Perfect... At least with Obama you know what you are getting... The devil you know is better than the devil you do not know...
Think about it Yahoos. Do you really know Romney?
Mistake? It wasn't a mistake. Obama doesn't know how to debate. Without the teleprompter and his adoring Press/Media glued to him, he doesn't know how to respond to direct forward questions. Romney is the first person to ever point directly at him and say "answer up". Obama has been sheltered, pampered and pandered to, his entire political career. A head on attack on his shi!!y performance to date, and that's what it has been, a performance, made him look like a deer in headlights.
Tell the truth, for once, NBC.
