Rush Limbaugh: Obama’s Debate Performance ‘One Of The Greatest Falls From Great Heights I’ve Ever Seen’

On his syndicated radio show Thursday afternoon, conservative host Rush Limbaugh had a strong description for President Barack Obama‘s performance at last night’s first presidential debate. Comparing Obama’s debate showing to how he was received in 2008, Limbaugh said it was one of the most significant “falls from great heights” that he has ever witnessed.

Citing Democratic consultant Lanny Davis‘ advice this morning that Obama “smile, be gracious, don’t look down,” Limbaugh mocked the president for having to take “sixth-grade debate instructions.”

“This is the junior-high debate review,” Limbaugh continued. “No, you look at your opponent. You don’t look down at the podium. You stand on both feet, with your weight equally distributed. You don’t slouch on just one foot,” he mock-instructed the president.

“You compare this to the way [Obama] was presented to us four years ago,” said Limbaugh, “and this is one of the greatest falls from great heights that I have ever seen.”
