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.

Obama has, is and will continue to move this nation strategically forward, in spite of the vitriolic haters which comprise the entire party of Republican'ts. They are, all, self serving, egocentrics with Romney and Ryan as puppets of the racist and bigoted establishment.
ed, He has moved us forward, I have to agree. Forward to the edge of a cliff, economically. Do you libs EVER get tired of the term "racist"?
Do you libs EVER get tired of the term "racist"?
That statement to me says it all, the "racist" keep blindly labeling everyone else as "liberals" and vice versa. You lefties and righties, yell whatever the latest thing you heard on some late night comedy show, bill Mahre (not sure how you spell it, and dont care enough to look it up), or the day time comedy show featuring rush limbaugh (again spelling? and the same).
I still think, despite what I see written by people on here, that a Majority of Americans don't fit these descriptions.
I think most people see their own success as a benefit to the economy (and that is certainly understandable), and would therefore be a good thing for America.
Most people are intelligent enough to know that Obama is not a Muslim, and Romney is not a polygamist. And that even if they were, the Country would not stand for that type of agenda being pushed down their throats, I bet even Congress could manage to get along at least for the time period needed to block any such nonsensical agenda.
When you far left and right wingers start throwing your hurtful, unfounded, and/or just plain ignorant labels around you remove any chance for a "real, adult discussion on the topics because the other side sees you as someone who came in to the conversation with preconceived ideas about the other sides point of view that dont stand up to logic, and based on the past twenty years or so, they then "label" you as someone who is not open to debate or interested in a alternative view point. So you end up looking childish, and close minded.
I like to hear from people who have a different opinion the mine, I have in the past, and will continue to vote a split ticket, and for the occasional independent (although not for the presidential election, yet). According to the labelers I guess that makes me weak in my convictions, or a flip-flopper. But I believe, intelligent people looking for answers to tough questions, dismiss such rhetoric and the people who spout it as just a lot of noise. It benefits no one, changes no ones opinion, and makes your message less likely to be heard by those who are truely trying to pick what they think is best for this, OUR, Country.
Liberals wonder what happened to Obama during the debate... The media cant figure out how Obama imploded so badly during the debate... Obama's spokespeople tell us that Obama will do better in the next debate and now Obama tells his adoring fans not to lose hope... This is not the message of a man who is leading. What amazes me is that his loyal acolytes are so obsessed with him that they are incapable of even seeing a fault with his performance. They must instead create excuses, like the time or the altitude or some secret Obama scheme to let Romney in the first debate.
Obama did a terrible job in his first debate and because of that Romney was given an unchallenged forum to speak without any distortion from the opposing camp. If he lied then the fault is with Obama for being so unprepared that he was incapable of calling Romney on it. Because Obama did such a terrible job Romney' poll numbers have risen, his money is still rolling in and he united the Conservative base. That one debate eroded everything Obama managed to do over the last six months. So if liberals want to be honest then accept the fact that Obama did a terrible job and hope that your leader can figure out how to change it.
And remember this. The next debate is between Biden and Ryan. If you complain about bully's then Biden always comes across as a bully. He cant form coherent sentences and speaks only to the loyal base not to mention all the many, many gaffes he makes. Ryan at least comes across as a nice guy. So chances are that debate will swing to Romney/Ryan as well.
These are the facts. Deal with it!
Wow,imagine that a President admitting at a fund raiser that he was wrong instead of saying that 47% of Americans are wrong !!!
Obama/Biden 2012
Wow, imagine that a President that cares only about the votes to re-elect himself that admits that he "goofed" to 100% of the voters.
If by "urges supporters" you mean blatantly lies to them so he can get another four years of totally reckless fiscal responsibility and horribly failed polies, then...Yes, I agree with this article. It is time to accept responsibility for the last 4 years obama. QUIT lying to yourself and us!
For the health of our great nation, VOTE ROMNEY!
Romney is the master of lies...the master of flips...the master of flops.
How can anyone vote for him?
You don't know where the hell he stands on anything.
You guys must watch the next debate, so you can keep up to speed on what you're supporting.
Bill Hoo--I am sure you have the political blinders on--but if you don't. Go watch the movie 2016 and I promise that you will not vote for Obama under any circumstances.
I learn from the past.
To control my future.
You keep learning from the future, I'm sure it's all good, out there in xanax land.
Supporters urge Obama to get some enthusiasm at debates, not just teleprompted speeches AFTER the debates calling Romney a liar.
I am sure he will do better this time.And he is a lot more comfortable in a town hall setting.At least he didn't say he was right and then admitted he was wrong after 30 days.
Has he admitted anything about is fiscal policy?? Or the unemployment numbers?? He conveniently omits those topics. WHY? They are and will be damaging to him. Greatly.
He could have done better the first debate or do better next debate if he can defend his record. He cannot and that is why he had his head down the whole time. He will have his head up next time because he is being told to do so, but the record is still the same.
The Obama Record, on the DNC Label.
Side A: Mr. Romney wants to give tax breaks to the rich on the backs of the rich.
Side B: Mr. Romney wants to cut all entitlements as we know them.
Coming out soon, The Obama Record II
Side A: Mr. Romney wants to cut all entitlements as we know them.
Side B: Mr. Romney wants to give tax breaks to the rich on the backs of the rich.
MJ-you must not have seen the debate for Romney laid out his tax breaks, entitlement reductions and addressed the taxation of the rich. Go watch it again.
The fish stinks from the head down!!!!' Desperation on the left is palpable!! Have you seen todays poll numbers? People are leaving the great socialists agenda in droves and only the uninformed or parasites remain still trying to feed off the remains of the carcass. It's time to take the policies of the left and bury them.
GO ROMNEY!!!
WHAAAAA????? UH oh..people are starting to realize that his idiotic polices are miserable failures....
But I was REALLY looking forward to 6 dollar gas and 20 new or higher taxes in 2013...
Guess that depends on which polls your looking at.All the ones I have seen still put Obama ahead.And Mitt has to take ALL five swing states that are in play to win,Obama only needs one.
maria, I guess you, conveniently, did'nt see Gallup. Maobama lost his 5 point lead. They now are tied. Gallup and Rasmussen are the only polls that poll "likely voters". Media polls are skewed for Maobama.
codes on credit cards for donations received on line?
be traced to the person or company just the country
Why would Obama want to hide who is donating to
his campaign from foreign c
Why won't Mitt show his tax returns...ALL of them?
Could it be that he doesn't want the country to know he took the route of IRS amnesty as a precursor to a presidential run???
Cuase he doesn't want Anne Romney to look bad.
The only way Robme will get any other than a moron's votes is when he releases his tax returns to show that he was not part of the IRS/Swiss deal to give amnesty to the tax cheats that hid their money in Credit Suisse.

Mark--Romney released 3 years of tax returns and had his accountant release his tax figures going back 10 years. He paid 100 times more than Obama did and he paid 14% on average. What else do you want. This is getting real old & the Dem's need to focus on what's really important--jobs and keeping our country from falling prey to Obama's extreme (socialistic) views.
Sorry Dems, I'm calling it now - you won't drag your lazy asses to the polls just like you didn't in 2010. Romney will win. And that will be a very sad day for the country.
No enthusiasm needed here. I will be voting for Obama with complete determination to send Yo-Yo Romney back to Bain and the Olympics.
Dropping donuts at the early voting place down from my house again. President Obama supporters lining up again!!!! Wow every morning there is a line Woohoo!!! Good luck mittens, maybe your party should not have tried to stop people from voting because it is really pushing the dems to go out and vote!!
Marie: You mean kinda like the ones Romney gets from China ???
MY GOD... You Reps are pathetic. I get so amused at you guys. All you's do is take a little fact, and use it way out of proportion, to try and state your case. Should the election be based on any single event?
It must be nice to have the priveledge to sit back and blame someone else for everything.
To me, this shows a complete lack of responsibility.
What if...and I know it will not happen...but what if...
Romney would win. Would he immediately take all responsibility for his office, and the state of the nation?
Or would he and the Reps be blaming it on Obama?
So here we go.
When Obama wins...it will be his responsibility.
If Romney would win, somehow it would still be Obama's responsibility.
Translation...Reps take no responsibility.
But, it's not okay for Dems to reflect upon the state of the nation that Bush left us in.
Just pathetic. You'd state a better opinion if you just kept quiet.
Pathetic.
a la "It's President Bush's fault"?
Perhaps President Obama should'nt have started the blame game...
MJ, but anyone with a memory that goes back more than a couple of years knows it WAS Bush's fault. Sorry, but the truth will come out no matter how much the RNC and FAUX wants to stuff it back down your throat.
Of course it's President Bush' fault. Everyone knows that.
But reps won't live up to it.
They have a way out, either way.
Just like Romney. Double Speak.
boo hoo, It has been Obama's purvue to blame others. Hell, he probably blames Bush for his pitiful debate performance.
Wow boy, guess you didn't catch the debates.
Romney did nothing but blame others.
And if you think about it. When Bush was in office we were losing 750000 jobs a month and the DOW was at 7500.
President Obama in Office and we get a Dow of 13500+ and we are creating over 100000 jobs a month and ACA was signed into law.
The GOP had 8 yrs to handle the Health insurance problem and all they did was create wars on lies and spend like drunking sailors and there was not health care law created. They even hid the debt of the war from the American people.
You might not like President Obama but he is getting the Job done!!!!
4 more 4 44!!
Dont hate!!
From my perspective, GOP-vast right conspiracists-anybodybutObama crowd pushing their candidate as a protest vote against the left side of the political spectrum. That is flawed logic using an equally flawed candidate. Romney's antiPBS-47%-offshoretaxhavens and persistent use of the phrase "the poor" characteristics make Obama a better choice. To be sure, Obama has his fair share of criticism, justified, however, when voting for President, need a guy that better represents ALL Americans. As an independent voter, I personally would like to see the Senate overturned to GOP majority, GOP House and Obama 2nd term. A President needs better accountability, no one single party in control, history reflects this.
Debate performances, whether good or bad, do not a President make....anyone can get on stage, programmed and rehearsed, and convincingly spew untruths and exaggerations. Oscar-worthy performances. Why not save tv time and go outside and stick your finger in the wind for direction. Same thing~
I would agree except that the current GOP is so far to the right that nothing will get done to fix anything that Bush left behind as long as the Congress is dominated by Tbags that have no idea what damage they are doing to America. These ideologues cannot think past the last pep rally, they need to go back to the caves they crawled out of.
kwilson. The poor? What should they be called in your politically correct world? Economically challenged? Ridiculous. More plain talk, ala Romney, not less, would be a good thing.
Wow Boy...again, it's called lower income.
Poor implies a severe lack of respect, such as in the 47% comment.
Poor is an accurate depiction of one's economic status. Sugar coating situations, or people for that matter, changes nothing.By your idiotic standards, the rich should be "upper income". Ridiculous semantics.
47%
Taxes
Facts
Honesty
The last Retardican in the White House
Need I say more?
Obama/Biden 2012 - like America's future and your children's lives depend on it, because they do!
I love it when Obama supporters say that the Republicans blocked him........guess they were disguised as Democrats during the first 2 years of his lame administration.
Republicans said they would make him a one term, isn't that what both sides always say?
But it was OK for Obama to tell the Republicans they could ride in the back of the bus.
Obama takes responsibility? Really? Since the election in 2008, all I have heard is that it's Bush and the Republicans fault.
What are the takers going to do when there are no givers left? With the tax base continually shrinking, eventually the entitlements will have no funding.
You want to see Romneys tax returns? I want to see how Obama got his college education funded and all the hate speeches and essays he wrote.
I want to see the documents from Fast & Furious that got a US citizen killed.
I want to see the transparency that Obama promised.
I want to see our soldiers come home and not under the Bush timeline that is already in place as Iraq was yet Obama sure tried to take credit for that.
Time to get educated and learn to take care of yourself and stop the whining that Obama is so good at.
That's the spirit Momma, take care of yourself and let the wealth of America get stolen by the 1% who already have most of it. Good idea, now drink your tea and go back to sleep.

Transparency from the walkers, not the talkers...

For the first time during this election. Romney has taken the lead in one of the polls - the Rasmussen poll, a highly respected independent poll. Romney leads Obama 49 to 47%, with 2% undecided and 2% voting for others. The great Dali Bama is starting to realize that the American people are finally realizing that Obama's pretty speeches and empty promises are not enough for another 4 years. The closer we get to the election, the more people are going to start thinking about how Obozo conned us all.
So tell us eddie, what is Romney going to do? Return us to the Bush plan? That was some really good times, right?
To tell you the truth, Tex, I don't know what Romney is going to do, but I just want to get rid of Obama. It's not like I've got a whole lot of choices.
OK, let me give you a hint. If you are standing in the middle of a nest of ticks and the only way out is to jump into a gasoline fire in all directions, what do you do? Answer, wait till the fire goes away and then jump. It is that the Republican option is way worse than the current situation. just look at the last Retardican in office and ask yourself, is that what we want to go back to? Lie based war and a collapsed economy? Not me. Romney has done nothing to explain how he is not going to return to a rich man's based policy, all he has done is ramp up the image machine, get it?
Does anyone remember what trickles down in a trickle down economy?
duplicate post
It's hard to argue with your logic, Tex. In all honesty, I'm just voting against the incumbent because I'm disgusted with him.
Eddie, what Romney's gonna do...
or fail at doing...
Are you sure about your vote?
Check this out...
Mitt Romney’s great healthcare plan…LIE.
Who is Jonathan Gruber…???
Jonathan Gruber, economics professor at MIT, was actually the designer of MA’s healthcare plan, not Mitt Romney.
Bigger lie…Actually Senator Kennedy was the muscle behind the MA healthcare plan, not Mitt Romney, and it could not have been achieved without his negotiations and influence.
But wait, it gets better…
… it was a government bailout. It was a result of Mitt Romney’s failed healthcare plan.
It was funded by your federal dollars., and is still being funded by your federal dollars, via subsidiaries.
The only reason MA has the healthcare plan that it does, is because MA’s healthcare was in dire straights, under Mitt Romney’s leadership.
Wait for it…
… it was paid for with 385 million dollars of federal money.
That’s right, your money.
Then they insured absolutely anyone they could find, with Medicare. Why…?
Because the federal dollars would match Medicare. That’s right, your money.
But wait, it gets even better…
Right now, federal Medicaid dollars continue to pay for both children and adults, for up to 300% of the poverty line in MA.
Have you figured it out yet…?
Yes, the entire State of Massachusetts is on FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE…!!!
Just speculating here…I wonder if the entire state of MA knows it falls in that 47% area…?
But this will never work for the rest of the country…
Here’s why…
He wants to provide insurance for the rest of the country another way.
He wants to cap the Medicaid dollars at whatever the state received last year, add 1%, and then let us on our own to fend for ourselves. Or in his own words “manage your poor the way you think best”.
You must understand people…that’s a cut to Medicaid to the tune of more than 600 billion dollars. This differs greatly from the generous deal that MA got.
He opposes giving money for healthcare at the federal level, and also refuses to give it at the state level.
That, on top of Romney’s reportable care act (Romney care) pushes Medicaid cuts to well above 1 trillion dollars.
Why is this important…?
It means that the rest of the states will not have the generous benefits that Massachusetts had.
This means that he will be “pulling up the ladder” so no other state can achieve healthcare the way MA has.
Under Romney’s plan, there is no way to achieve universal healthcare.
Indeed, if Medicare is cut, even the current healthcare plan in Massachusetts will not survive.
The only reason Massachusetts healthcare plan has continued to survive, is from a generous waiver, first from the Bush administration, and yes, wait for it…
…then from the Obama administration, for billions and billions of dollars.
Massachusetts…your own worst enemy…? Yes !
Mitt’s cut to Medicare will put the burden of healthcare solely on the state’s tax-payer dollars.
They can not afford that, and the healthcare plan will wither away.
Furthermore, the Romney care plan, will cut Medicaid by 700 billion dollars.
More facts…By the year 2022 ( only ten years down the road ), Obama care will have 33 million more people under health care coverage.
Romney care will have 18 million fewer Americans with health care coverage.
These are all facts contributed by Jonathan Gruber, the designer of Romney’s MA healthcare plan.

He's been in the lead in Rasmussen for most of the summer. Obama was ahead shortly after the Dem convention..........Obama will be gone soon.
Bill Hoo--you make no sense at all. Your man Obama even praised Mitt's healthcare program in MA. So much that he copied it and (like a dictator) pushed it down our throats. In the debate Mitt outlined the differences in the plans, no fines if you don't sign up, private industry driven, etc. etc. You need to go live in Europe where dictators live, you would be much happier. Lastly, the US is not the right country for Obama to be Preseident in for we stand for prosperity and not punishing people for being successfull.
OMG !!!
Take another xanax houseman.
Cause you must be on drugs !
Can you even read.

Obama went before the Hollywood elite and begged their forgiveness.
Aman of honor, and respect.
boo hoo, that's Iman.
Were with you all the way, straight to victory on election day.
Finally. Obama addressing something he knows alot about----mistakes. He should be able to talk for hours, on that subject.
"Urging supporters NOT to LOSE enthusiasm???"
Hmm... isn't that "interesting?" WHY oh WHY would such an ODD request even be mentioned? Why would supporters NOT be enthusiastic????
IF (and that is a pretty BIG 'if') Obama was "doing such a WONDERFUL job... then the very last thing ANY supporter would need is to have "Obama appear CONCERNED about their enthusiasm". Wouldn't HIS supporters be FILLED with ENTHUSIASM? Dancing in the streets? Absolutely ecstatic???
The very fact that Obama feels it necessary to make such a request PROVES that HE HIMSELF MUST be worried? Having doubts? Maybe HE is losing HIS enthusiasm?
The "entire premise of his request PROVES WEAKNESS and serious LACK of confidence on his own part.
HIS current concerns can only arise from "reports from his team in the field".
Anyone who knows anything about ANY presidential elections KNOWS that the "voting blocks" who elected him in 2008... Independents in particular... but even BLACKS... Roman Catholics... and yes, even Democrats... have ALL expressed "serious doubts" about voting for him "in the same percentages as 2008".
Remember... after the debates... after all the TV and Radio ads... and after all the polls...
Americans will vote on November 6th.
Bill Clinton's words from 1992 will control the voting of most Americans...
"It is always the Economy stupid!"
Bill Clinton, with all his speaking skills, charisma and charm... won in 1992 with barely 41% of the votes, meaning almost 60% of Americans voted for "someone else?"
In 1996, Clinton won re-election with barely 45% of the vote, so about 55% of America voted for someone else.
Barack Obama is NO Bill Clinton. In spite of what the media insists on chanting, Obama is no where NEAR as "well-liked" as the media claims... and no where NEAR Bill Clinton.
Bottom Line: Between "likability and the Economy" Obama's presidency is over.
Those who believe otherwise are in for a very ugly day on November 7th as the media begins saying...
President-elect Romney.
Speedy, You are correct. Clinton should kiss the ground Ross Perot walks on.
Never let the facts get in the way of your position. It was Clinton who repealed the act allowing the banking industry to become what it has. It was also Cuomo when part of the Clinton administration who encouraged Frannie and Freddie MAC to loosen their lending requirements. An who can forget Dodd and Franks who further pushed the position of relaxing mortgage standards for people who should never have been able to get a mortgage in the first place. Greed from both sides took over and here we are today. The reality is that the path to our current situation was created by the Democrats and their policies. Throw in greed and here we are today. Obama does not deserve a second term, he has absolutely no business experience or knowledge of how our economy works. Just throw money at the problem and it was go away seems to be the favorite approach, which is the process is bankrupting our country. You can't spend money you do not have. But this fact seems to be hard for the democrats to get and understand.
Privatesector
Your right on, but you might as well be talking to the wind as trying to convince the Barry subjects.
privatesector. Be careful. Giving libs the truth makes their heads explode. On the other hand, don't be careful.
What, Snoop Dog wasn't there? He's a fine example of the mentality of Barry supporters. I would hate to know that I share the same principles as Snoop Dog by supporting the same candidate.

I lost my enthusiasm after Obama looked at his shoes in the debate...we need a stronger leader and one that knows whats going on...Obama was completely lost.
Joe, what happened is that Romney came out on stage as a completely different candidate. Instead of himself, he came off with lies about what he really represents. I figure that bastion of Republican honesty, Carl Rove, told him to abandon truth and just look like he represents the 47% he trashed talked when he thought the microphones were off. We now know who he really is, a lying actor, desperately trying to scam his way into the White House so he can pass the last few dollars in the US Treasury to his friends.
Maybe he had a mini-teleprompter hidden in his podium he was looking at?
Hey tex2c tell that to Obama and he might come out a different man and do something he hasn't even tried...create jobs...get to work on the bad ecnomy and stop spending money .Thats a good point you made .
Romney--Ryan--2012
Obama has taken more out of the Treasury and spread it out to his friends spending more than any other President in history? Every Job stimulus plan he had went to his union Thug buddies, Dick Trumka is at the White House three times a week plotting on how to bilk the public out of more money?
Joe, how does that comment jibe with the truth that Obama has 'created' more jobs in 3 years than Bush did in 8? That is the fact you have to BS your way around. LOL
CItizen, Obama's spending growth has been significantly less than any president since Truman! he has raised the federal spending by only 1.4% whereas Bush raised it 7.7%!
So the lie being promoted by the professional liars in the Romney camp really is not supported by reality, is it?
Don't apologize or make excuses Mr. Prez, your failed last four years can't be defended, if it could have you wouldn't have lost the debate so badly.
Obama was sucker punched at the debates. That was a low immoral way to behave.
Deliberate flip-flop, to cause confusion.
Very pathetic.
I'm going to enjoy watching Romney get his ars wooped at the next debate, and the election both:)
When you no leader at all you don't have much to defend your self with.Best thing for Obama is to stay out of the next 2 debates.
Bill---Romney showed Obama and the country how he is a better debater, negotiator, leader and business man than the Prez. He speaks from experience and it shows! Obama has only worked in the public sector so he only knows about trickle-down-government. If you really feel that Romney sucker punched Obama, then you most likely accept failure as being your benchmarks for success. I pitty you.
boo hoo. You SHOULD be outraged by the debate. Imagine the gall of that Romney. I mean, coming prepared and all. Shameful.
Yes, shameful. He came prepared to lie.
