Oh, yes, she did. Fox News commentator and Hot Air editor-at-large Mary Katharine Ham got the ball rolling on a wonderful new phrase to describe abject failure: ‘Like Barack Obama at a debate.”
Ugh, Dawgs looking like Barack Obama at a debate.

Genius! And Twitter agrees. Next time the Twitter fail whale shows up, you can say, “Man, Twitter is really acting like Barack Obama at a debate.”
LOL RT @mkhammer Ugh, Dawgs looking like Barack Obama at a debate.

He was no match for Mary Katharine Ham, of course.
.@IamDavidBrandt Bc you believe you can cuss at me, but I'm "all class" if I return fire. Classic gendered double standard.
— Mary Katharine Ham (@mkhammer) October 7, 2012
.@IamDavidBrandt It's cool if you think assertive men are leaders and assertive women are bitches. Just go ahead and admit it.
— Mary Katharine Ham (@mkhammer) October 7, 2012
.@IamDavidBrandt Just say it, so we all know where you are on this.
— Mary Katharine Ham (@mkhammer) October 7, 2012
.@IamDavidBrandt Ooh, you seem to have so many ideas about what I should do! So comfortable assuming you can tell me. #sexistpatriarch

.@IamDavidBrandt I don't remember you. That's embarrassing. For you.

@IamDavidBrandt Do not come at me with the F-word & insults & expect to be treated w kindness. Live w your choices & #quitcomplaining.
— Mary Katharine Ham (@mkhammer) October 7, 2012
@IamDavidBrandt Aww, can't even say it to my face now. This is getting more & more pathetic. If you start w F-word & insults, I come back.
— Mary Katharine Ham (@mkhammer) October 7, 2012
Oh, David. Bless your heart. You were totally left looking like Barack Obama at a debate.
And, Ace of Spades comes up with the win.
Barack Obama governs the country like he's at a debate.

It’s funny, because it’s true. Keep it coming, Twitter. This new phrase needs to become a part of our lexicon.
