Total BS, Obama’s massively inflated ego would never allow him to consider himself inferior to Romney in any way.

LAS VEGAS — President Obama jumped into the pre-debate expectations game on Sunday evening, calling himself a ho-hum debater and showering praise on his opponent’s skills

“I know folks are speculating already on who’s going to have the best zingers,” Obama told a crowd gathered at a high school in Las Vegas. “Who is going to put more points on the board.”

When the crowd answered, “You are!” Obama corrected them.

“No, no. Gov. Romney, he’s good debater. I’m just OK,” he said.

The folks at Desert Pines High School in Las Vegas apparently did not get the memo. For days, Obama’s campaign has been diligently trying to lower expectations ahead of Wednesday’s first face-off between Obama and his Republican rival Mitt Romney. They’ve been effusive in praising Romney’s debating skills, while rather openly dissing their own guy. Earlier in the day, Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki talked about the president’s battle with brevity.
