 At a fundraiser in Virginia, the president saying he wasn't very smart for traveling internationally ahead of the debate, telling donors he, quote, almost fell asleep on stage. Some in the room laughing. The president adding it's not an excuse, but an explanation. The president traveled to Europe twice in June, but he returned back to the United States 12 days before the debate. And sources say during his debate prep at Camp David, advisers blocked out time in the schedule for rest.
