Obama was undone Wednesday in part by his dismissive arrogance. You could see him thinking annoyedly: "Why do I have to be onstage with this clod, when I've gone toe-to-toe with Putin?" (And lost every round, I'd say. But that's not how Obama sees it.)
Obama never even pulled out his best weapon, the 47 percent. Not once. That's called sitting on a lead, lazily and smugly. I wager he mentions it in the next debate, more than once - and likely in his kickoff.
On the other hand, Obama just isn't that good. Not without a teleprompter. He's not even that good at news conferences - a venue in which he's still in charge, choosing among questioners and controlling the timing of his own answers.

I have this fantasy sometimes - what if the petulant Obama just admits it's no where near as much fun being President as it was running for the job, and perhaps that's he's really tired of the whole thing and would rather just retire to a life of celebrity ...
