Oh boy

He looks nervous

He’s stalling…can’t respond to trickle down government comment…..you haven’t answered the damn question!

Corporate tax cut…that’s new…you’ll say anything your idiot

Mitt looks calm…go Mitt. He really talks better in my opinion.

Romney is responding to Q … he is on fire! GREAT DETAILS on his plan and what Obama’s 4 years have done to families … god, how does he keep all that in his head? OH! Because he WORKS HIS ASS OFF and also happens to be brilliant, but he exercises his brain as much as his body!

Obama won’t even look at Romney. And, he keeps smirking. I don’t think he realizes there’s a split screen.

Obama seems so ho-hum .. like he’s reading the treasurer’s report at the local Rotary Club.

Obama you can’t even remember what you’re responding to…

Obumbler looks small.

Obozo is just repeating lies and talking points. Romney just laid out exactly what he would do and all BozoBama can do is talking points.

I am forcing myself to watch this debate. Not because of Mitt, but because of the lies Obama has the cojones to spin.

Bye Bye Barry

Here goes Obaby again…blame others again

Please no drinking games for Obozo’s lies or you will get alcohol poisoning!

How many billions of Tax payers monies did the Obama’s spend on their vacations!

Obama is looking at Mitt with pure hatred.

Oh yeh kill that sector too now

For anyone watching who has not kept up with what this administration has wrought will be easily duped by Obama again.

Obama is babbling…he hasn’t used his mind in 4 years and it shows

Love it! Romney pointing out Obama’s very, very bad business decisions, the solar energy companies and the waste of so much money.

FlimFlam looks a little sick. Daddy Mitt is instructing the wittle boy.

The moderator keeps interrupting Mitt and not Obama. So frustrating

OBAMA PICKS THE LOSERS

LOL LOL LOL

Here we go with the “personal” sob stories.

Well done mitt…reduce some benefits for the rich…Thats a good sound byte. WHO said it will weaken it…AARP again

Admitted his grandmother was vice president of a bank…so I guess his struggling life of hard times is a another exposed LIE.

I wonder if Barry will phone in sick for the next debate ?

Not the right kind of regulation obaby. Valery Jaret told you to say that eh?

Obama getting scolded…

Romney is DESTROYING Obama on the Obamacare topic

Romney is on fire! What am I seeing: honesty, genuine beliefs, clear policy lines, a man who is so comfortable in his own skin that he can brutally attack the President’s policies, as well as funding to PBS when the debate moderator is paid by PBS, and still come across as likeable. I haven’t been in this good a political mood in YEARS.

Barf, barf, barf — If it’s already the law, it can’t help people with pre-existing conditions????

HOME RUN. BO mentions Cleveland Clinic as example of keeping costs down without reducing care, so as to support his claims, we need to reduce costs by appointing a panel to determine which procedures are necessary. MR agrees; yes, the private Cleveland Clinic, in competition with other health care providers, has figured out ways to reduce operating costs without cutting care. AND THEY DID IT WITHOUT A GOVERNMENT PANEL!

Obama didn’t study enough to keep his talking points strait and convincing. Amateur hour in the Obama camp.

You keep on waiting for Fauxbama to finish his answer and then ask Jimbo ‘what was that question again?’

Time for Barry to switch dialect.

Did you see that sneer on Obama’s face when Romney gave the Sec of Ed credit for what Obama just tried to take credit for himself?

Obama dares bring up budgets?

NEW NAME: OBABBLE

Obama’s prep team didn’t do well with trying to get him to stop making snarky comments.

It requires federal support….why would that be?

From the look on President Obama’s face when Gov. Romney is speaking, he doesn’t really hate Romney, just his guts. I haven’t seen that look of utter resentment since he was in the same room with Bibi Nehtanyahu. I bet that you couldn’t pry his lips apart with an air chisel.

Obabble go ahead and teach Mitt how to be a leader. Condescending bastard

Obama’s definition of “leadership” : be as blindly partisan as possible.

Nice closing for Romney. He did a great job tonight.

Hope the White House Insider decides to give Ulsterman a call and let us know how it went tonight.

Thanks for the discussion thread, Bronwyn!

Mitt SO won this debate. He was clear, focused and got under Obama’s skin. I loved it. Obama went on and on and I kept waiting for Mitt to be a prick but he was an absolute gentleman while still managing to make his points. You could tell that Obama was pissed. Advantage Mitt Romney. Oh, and Obama sucked and sucks.

Obama came pre rattled from the Katrina piece. His act is so blatently racist in that piece that Obama was elected Grand Dragon.

HA HA HA HA HA! Now, they are saying, Romney ‘won’ because he spent 3 months studying, whereas Obama was busy being President and was speaking off the cuff. (Translation: Obama cannot speak unless his speeches are written for him and, appear on a teleprompter.)

Ed on MSNBC is flabbergasted at Obama’s performance.

MSNBC: Obama’s problem in the debate is his “dignified reserve.”

OK… I ventured into kookoo land on MSNBC and learned from those hosts that Obama spoke for 4 minutes longer than Romney, and still did not make strong points. I guess they can’t blame Lehrer for cutting off Obama.

Across this country the lights are going out in Democratic households as Obama’s loyal followers are going to try to forget about tonight’s debate.
Romney’s command of the facts, his well modulated delivery even when refuting Obama’s accusations, was impressive. I now see why he was a successful CEO.
Obama seemed ill at ease, tired and drawn. One analyst noted that he seemed to look down and seldom looked at Romney, who looked directly at Obama often. I think Romney actually enjoyed himself and he made Obama seem a little shabby, by comparison. A few times, as Obama was speaking, Romney’s expression seemed to be one of sympathy for his opponent. Even when Obama said that the nation’s security was something he thinks about every single day (except for the past year when he’s put the country second to his re-election efforts, except when he’s been appearing with his celebrity friends), even when he managed to slide in that little bit about his having ended 2 wars, smashed Al Qaeda and Osama, he didn’t diminish Romney. He only made himself seem desperate to maintain the air of foreign policy success while his policies are collapsing all around him.
Romney is the whole person. Obama simply is not and I just hope that the next debates go as well.
Bravo Romney.

I just read the comments on the CNN live blog of the debate. It’s like they watched a different version that I did. Many are claiming that Romney lied through most of it and was disrespectful while Obama was cool and substantive. We definitely didn’t watch the same debate.

Matt Welch: “That wasn’t a debate so much

as Mitt Romney just took
Obama for a cross country drive strapped to the roof of his car.”

tee-hee

I’m loving the focus group on Fox.
