Yes, seriously. Is this dude not one of the biggest loons out there?
Al Gore Blames Denver's High Altitude For Obama's Dismal Debate Performance (VIDEO)
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.

But the President travels all over the world, and I don't recall its ever being reported that he was off his game because of jet lag or altitude sickness.
If the President were genuinely disgusted or frustrated, then he owed it to me and and the rest of the country to stand up and vigorously defend his truth. He didn't.

Obama's aircraft probably had a cabin altitude at or near 5,000 feet for the 2+ hours it took to fly there. He was fine, he's just that stupid.
I lived in Denver for years. Coloradans don't like hearing this excuse. Al Gore isn't doing his guy any favors by making altitude an issue.

Why was Romney not affected by the altitude?
. I am just wondering if Obama might be getting just a little tired of the fight with the nonsense that is the current political landscape.
I don't really care what Coloradans want to hear or not. The science is pretty clear that the transition to a significantly higher altitude has quantifiable effects on humans. Are we now going to ditch any science that doesn't meet some groups approval? Oh, wait, conservatives already do that with evolution.

I do live here and I can tell you the altitude is an issue for people who have never been here. The President has been here several times campaigning for the 2008 nomination and during his presidency. Obama and his staff are well aware of this effect.

Wow, way to make a jump there from the effects of altitude to evolution.
Back on topic...
Colorado is a swing state, so courting Colorado voters is important for Obama. The altitude is not THAT bad in Denver, especially if you are in decent physical condition.
I don't think you want your candidate coming across as tired and sickly.
If I had to come up with an excuse for Obama's performance, the one I would go with is "he was too busy running the country to prepare for a debate, whereas Romney has been preparing for months."
You know I have deployed around the world to various places, to include high altitude. Yes high altitude can affect you negatively performing vigorous tasks. But I never had a problem thinking or talking.
