In particular, Bush targeted Gore, whom he now calls "Ozone Man," or just plain "Ozone." "You know why I call him Ozone Man?" Bush said. "This guy is so far out in the environmental extreme, we'll be up to our neck in owls and outta work for every American. He is way out, far out, man."

Actor Bruce Willis shouted into the microphone that Clinton was not qualified to be president. "I'm pissed off," Willis shouted, to hear the Democrat say he is qualified. At a later rally, this one at the Gerald Ford Library in Grand Rapids, Willis introduced the former president with the same complaints in language rare for a political rally.

Bush, too, hit on what he said were Clinton's lack of qualifications for the Oval Office because of "waffling" on issues. "You can't be president if you try to be all things to all people," Bush said, complaining Clinton had "if, ands and buts" to explain his positions on every issue. "You cannot have a lot of buts in the Oval Office," Bush screamed, his voice growing hoarse.


"Here is my appeal," he said. "Barbara and I both have tried to uphold the public trust. And character. Bill Clinton -- Bruce Willis mentioned this, Bruce Willis said that, I mean, Clinton said that it is not the character of the president but the character of the presidency. Wrong. They're locked in. They are interlocked."

“We’ve come up with a name for this condition,” Obama told the cheering crowd at Delray Beach. “It’s called Romnesia. We had a severe outbreak last night. It was at least stage 3 Romnesia.”

"No, he's not," Vice President Joe Biden said when asked if Mitt Romney is qualified to be president. "He's a good man, he's a decent man. But he demonstrated an overwhelming lack of understanding in international community. He demonstrated a lack of understanding in the military."



President Obama accused Mitt Romney of being “all over the map” at his first post-debate rally on Tuesday, seeking to portray his GOP rival as a flip-flopper in the final two weeks before Election Day.

"There is no more serious issue in a presidential campaign than trust," Obama told a rally of 11,000 people in Florida. "Everything he's doing right now is trying to hide his real positions in order to win this election."







Same show again, folks. Desperation from a man who knows he's losing. Pass the popcorn, sit back, watch the show, and laugh.

What now? Only in 1992 and 2012 did candidates criticize one another?

People making snarky remarks after a debate means game over, obviously.

Childish namecalling by a President to a lesser individual is pretty rare, yes. That's why you delegate to subordinates.
