Don’t say we didn’t tell you: if President Barack Obama is sleepy and slow during tonight’s debate, don’t blame the prep, the questions or the moderator — blame the menu.
We refer you to the White House pool reports, that suggest the President is loading up on calories before the big D2 at Hofstra University in New York.
From today’s WH pool report:
The POTUS worked out this morning and then met up with his team to do a short 45 minute review this morning. He had pasta with chicken for lunch.
This afternoon he will do last minute prep for about an hour with his team. He will spend some down time with his close friends in town for the debate-Marty Nesbitt and Mike Ramos.
He will have dinner with the FLOTUS at the hotel before the debate. They are having steak and potatoes at the hotel.
Didn’t anyone tell him a pasta lunch, followed by spuds at dinner, is not exactly a “go get ‘em” menu?
If Mitt Romney had a fruit salad and salmon, Dems should start sweating — now.
Stay tuned for debate blogging and updates all night.
