The Romney versus Lehrer and Obama debate thread

[lessthantolerant]

I just watched all the MSM channels, all seemed greatly upset Obie was listless and boring. hat can one expect, no teleprompter to tell him what to say!

let's see if Romney gets a bump!

VP Debate should be fun!

I'm relying on second hand here as I did not watch the debate. So, who won?

[Solar]

I did as well, also FOX and CNN, everyone agreed, Romney won, Hussein failed miserably.

Tomorrows talking points will be Romney was "Testy" and he has "no specifics", what this reveals is they are really lost and grasping at anything they can find.

Romney was clearly prepared, confident and aggressive.  He spoke to Obamacare, why it should be repealed and why it can work at the state level.  He wants to turn over control to the states as they know best how to administer for their specific needs. Obama stammered and kept looking down while Romney looked right at him.  Romney threw how Obama has thrown as much money to green energy in the past four years than oil has received in the past 100.  He threw the bankrupt green companies in his face adding that these were also Obama supporters.

Romney did a good job, I guess. I kept getting distracted by by that stupid Cheshire Cat grin that Obama kept flashing. The idiot looked like he was getting ready to recieve an academy award.

I probably just need to settle down. Given the immense depth of Obama's failures, I was looking for Romney to go straight for the jugular, and bleed him out on national television.

I did have to laugh out loud, when Obama went back to blaming Bush, and saying that he wanted to do things like Clinton did. He's such a joke.

The healthcare portion was spectacular.

The healthcare portion was spectacular.

Yes it was, Hussein now knows what a Death Panel looks like.

Obama was on the ropes through that whole portion.

Also, Romney countered the old "Massachusets healthcare" meme with something that really clinched it for me: state legislation as the solution.

Yep. Giving states the power over healthcare legislation, along with welfare, was good. Sounded a lot like constitutional conservatism and returning power to the states...............where it belongs.

One would think Hussein pitched Mitt a softball on that one, but it was more like "T ball", Hussein placed the ball on the stand and Mitt hit a home run with it.
You couldn't have asked for a better setup and delivery, the Tea party will take that to the bank and back Mitten for his States Rights stance.

[bluelieu]

The best substansive line in the debate was when Obama tried to claim businesses get a tax break for going overseas....

Romney:  I've been in business for over 25 years and I don't have any idea what you're talking about.

Obama had nothing to back up his claim.

Zowie! Did he say, "Tenth Amendment?!" When was the last time you heard ANY politician mention the Tenth Amendment? I think so far, James Carville has said it best: "Mitt Romney came in with a chainsaw."

Then Mitt told Hussein to go find the ball up in the stands, bring it back down, and tee it back up...
