Obama jokes about 'poor debate performance'

United States President, Barack Obama made fun of his own debate performance as he sought to reassure Hollywood donors who were stunned at his defeat by Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

Appearing on stage in Los Angeles after a fundraising concert that featured Stevie Wonder, Jon Bon Jovi, and Katy Perry, Mr Obama paid tribute to the singers' professionalism. He then added: "They just perform flawlessly night after night - I can't always say the same." Mr Obama also told supporters that his successful campaign four yeas ago had also experienced setbacks. He said: "Back in 2008 everybody always remembers the victory, but they don't always remember the bumps in the road. "Things always look good in retrospect. But in the middle of it, we made all kinds of mistakes. We goofed up. I goofed up. But the American people carried us forward." Mr Obama was attempting to explain his loss in Wednesday's debate as he embarked on his final West Coast election fundraising effort ahead of the Nov 6 election. The trip is expected to bring in $9.5 million in two days and the money will be used for a barrage of advertisements in vital swing states including Ohio.

RECOVERING FROM A COMMUNICATION BLUNDER

In the fast-paced world of corporate communication, mistakes can happen every now and then. Have you ever been in a situation when a seemingly minor oversight quickly spirals into a full-blown crisis? For instance, during a major a event, a press release was sent out prematurely, containing incorrect information about a key speaker. The media caught on, and within hours, your establishment was facing a whirlwind of inquiries. The error wasn’t just embarrassing; it threatened the credibility you had painstakingly built.

SEPTEMBER SPECIAL...

Its 3.39am and a very tired Funmi is woken by the thought of children crying repeatedly (seriously, continuous cry is killing) but am gonna help tell the story (my business you know). How does a well fed kid cry in the morning? takes a bath, haves a nap, wakes in tears, has another meal, plays a short while, resumes crying, sleeps again for a shorter while than done in the morning, wakes in tears again, refuses food and expects to be carried while standing all night... who does that??? My fascination? they never seem to have headaches as the routine for some of them is stable. For real, do they have to cry so hard to get anything? arrrrrrgh! (Images withheld cause you don't wanna see what I found on research) ...oops! Have I welcomed you to the month of September? Aii, Happy new month. Its gonna be a great month. Ciao...
