After the disastrous performance by the president in the first debate, which Romney won hands down, Obama stalwarts like Chris Rock and Andrew Sullivan cried bitter tears, and wondered out loud if their champion had just lost the election. Obama thought the debate was in the bag, but Romney took the debate and ran with it. The vice-president commiserates with the president on losing Chris Rock and Andrew Sullivan.

I tell you Joe, Obama said

They’ve got me feeling blue

So many states are turning red

I don’t know what to do

When friends like Chris Rock turn on us

And say Bin Laden’s skull

May not turn out to be a plus

Is something I must mull

Mull away, Joe Biden grinned

My take is we’re ahead

It’s all in how the tale is spinned

You killed Bin Laden dead

And single handed I might add

A throwdown to the mat

Enough to make Mitt Romney sad

We’ve got this stuff down pat

Sweet Andrew though, Obama sighed

Has let his courage flee

His faith in me has simply died

As far as I can see

If friends like these we cannot trust

To stand upright and tall

Then all our dreams will turn to dust

If we lose in the Fall

I know it looks grim right ‘bout now

But Joe, we must have faith

Or as sweet Andrew would allow

With Mitt we must keep paith
