NOPE, the lack of total support for Romney's supposed programs that Each of the talking points was like outline of talk with NOTHING to support the talking points. Romney had some style BUT no real substance.
I love how these Obama supporters get on and say Romney is lying. Just cause he can't stop the debate to lay out his plans in front of you doesn't make it a lie! Obama lies to the American people on a daily basis, how about this for a tax increase on the middle class that no one has spoke of, how about gas prices have gone from $1.50 adv to a $3.80 adv! And who does that affect? The middle class business owners like myself! Romneys plans to take the government out of our lives, the same foundations that the founding fathers set in place. Government is ment to sit on the sidelines and not make it harder on the everyday Americans lives. ObamaScare isn't the answer, guess what! It's unaffordable and it has FAILED in all of Europe! Why do u think that the Canadians come here for medical treatment! The left has become communist over the past 10yrs and this is how they start. By making Americans reliant on the government for health care, and the double on welfare...what's next? Also after they are done ringing the rich dry to pay for the social medician, who is next? Theyres already people in obama's inner circle who want a adverage American to pay 75% of they're wages to the government. Now does that sound fair? Certainly not what the founders of our country had in mind.
History proves winning debates doesn't mean winning your party's nomination or the presidency. Obama will be ready for debate #2 and will be re-elected.
One of the most lopsided debates. It wasn't even a 'debate'. It was just Romney destroying that building.
Obama just looked sad, angry, vindictive.
But Romney did crush that. BOOM!
Some thoughts on Romney’s tax plan. Romney mentioned that he might cap deductions at $22,500 or $25,000. One thing that can be deducted is mortgage interest. Well if you have a $200,000 mortgage at 5% that’s a $10,000. Another deduction is state and local taxes So if you are making $250,000 and pay 5% state taxes that is a $12,500 deduction. If your paying 1% property taxes that’s another $2000 deduction. So now we are at $24,500 in deductions. If you have more now it looks to me that Romney is proposing to increase your taxes. This is exactly the logic JFK and Johnson used to increase taxes, so it is nothing new. One other thing is that Romney said he might reduce the deduction cap for high income people.
By the Romney also said he might cut tax credits. Would think that might mean the child care credit.
Re listening as Romney talks in favor of regulation.
HEAR THAT SOUND OUTSIDE, THAT'S A 'CHEVY NOVA' BEING CRUSHED TO THE SIZE OF A SUITCASE! YOUR BAGS, MR. PRESIDENT? *(ROMNEY/RYAN 2012') -"Congradulations Mr. Romney!"-
I support Obama, but I agree that his performance tonight was less than stellar. Romney said so many lies, his nose should have been about a yard long by the end, but Obama didn't call him out on those lies. He should have been all over him. Very disappointing for me.
Well prepared, didn't back down, affirmed and confirmed the positives and shot down the negatives that have been leveled against him. Should be at least a bit of a game changer for him.
I don't think I'd use the word "crushed" but clearly Romney outperformed Obama. Obama kept looking down which does not project confidence. It actually projects timidity and shame. Not good, when you're trying to come across as Presidential. Romney looked good by comparison but was pretty low key, not powerful either.
No matter how the MSM would like reframe the debate to make their Messiah look better than Romney, without his teleprompter and gravitas, Obama is just like an emperor without his clothes or the wizard of Oz.
In the next debates, the moderators won’t be such wimps. Bob Schieffer in particular won’t roll over for Romney nearly as easily as Lehrer did tonight.
Hahahahaha, you guys amaze me. Blame everybody. Lehrer was soft for both. The facts won the debate. Romney has the facts on his side. The country is a mess. Obama's record is indefensible.
The MSNBS analysts sounded like a bunch of armchair quarterbacks discussing what would have to change in the game plan to be competitive next time around. I can help them with that: Get a new Quarterback!
If this were a little league baseball game it would have been called due to the mercy rule.
He beat him like a red headed step child who just got caught stealing chickens.
You mean RomneyCare? He invented it, you know. And implemented it, in Massachusetts. And point-blank said that it would be a great model for a national health care plan (before he Etch-a-Sketched that).
Well I would not say he got crushed, But Romney was a lot more prepare, and did have Obama on the ropes a few times, But what I fine funny is that a lot of Obama's big time supporters agree, Obama got schooled, But The one thing I Notice that was when Romney was directing some comments toward Obama, Obama either look away or look down like he was being punish for something, But when Obama directed comments toward Romney, He stood there with his eyes fixed on Obama, Not a good sign. Romney 1 Obama 0
oh please you ask any Body Language Expert, Making direct eye contact while Listening Eyes which stay focused on the speakers eyes, tend to indicate focused interested attention too, which is normally a sign of attraction to the person and/or the subject. Making Direct eye contact while speaking contact is generally regarded as a sign of truthfulness, Looking down which Obama was mostly doing Thinking things through by self-talk - concerning an outward view, rather than the inward feelings view indicated by downward right looking. sorry Romney looked more like an President and Leader than Obama did.
Maybe, but then again, Romney has shown other signs of sociopathy.
Most notably, this: Remember what the circumstances were of those photos: Romney had just given a speech to the bereaved after the attack on our consulate that cost our Ambassador and several others their lives. Romney not only took that as an opportunity to do crass political jabs at Obama, but he smirked about it, self-congratulatingly. Who else but one with at least sociopathic tendencies would do such a thing at such an occasion!?
He coudn’t even resist smiling and smirking while facing the mourners! Repeatedly!
Ya you might be right bout that, Just like Obama over looking his JOB that day our EMBASSY got attack, instead he still has his Rally in Las Vegas, A REAL Command in Chief Would have got back to that white House and start finding answers to that Terrorist Attack.
Dennis Miller said it best.
"I hope Obamacare covers 'kicked ass'"

ROMNEY WON! :)

It could also be a sign of sociopathy on Romney’s part. He does seem to be nigh-incapable of feeling shame.

Jim Lehrer did. Romney steamrolled over him, forcing the last word in again and again and again. And Lehrer let him do it.
