Yes I agree with this. I would hope that is what would be pleasing to the audience, and it is what Obama is good at. He remains calm in the storm and can make tough decisions with a cool head. That is one of the things he is great at. We don't need bluff and blunder.

I think Obama needs to spend more time on making the case of how he can keep moving the country forward. Don't let the bullshit pass by, but at the same time focus more on what he can do and has done.

I really wonder if Romney can pull off looking empathetic. I am sure he is practicing real hard. I just want to see one glimmer when a regular person asks him a question and it is obvious he has no clue what the person is talking about.

I'd be surprised if Romney screwed up, but he did make the Big Bird gaffe. I am not sure if that hurt him, but that's the kind of thing that happens when he talks off the cuff.

yeah I'm not so sure Big Bird hurt him. Some think there is better things to talk about rather than Big Bird.. although we all love Big Bird!

Here's a link for those who are cableless.

Taking my seat ringside. I hope the President will appear more enthusiastic about wanting to be re-elected and not allow Romney to get away with untruths without any sort of rebuff, challenge and clarification.

It would be nice to hear something about poverty, housing, LGBTQ issues, or climate change tonight. It's asking a lot, I know.

Oof
 

Oh he was so close to going cray cray...

Mitt Romney needs to sit his ass down and shut up when Candy Crowley is talking. He is using bullyish tactics and I wish to JEEBUS they would cut his damn mic off!!@

OMG...

If I stroke out over this debate, I just want to say that I have enjoyed everyone...


OMG... I'll crack down on CHINA

Sensata anyone? Mitt's going to profit from the selling of an american company to China...

My head hurts...

"Governor Romeny, you are the last person who is going to get tough on China." - MY PRESIDENT, Barack Obama

Ummm so...

HE WASN'T IN OFFICE... HE DIDN'T LOSE THE JOBS...

oh god...

Regan... really?

Romney is like a sleazy used car dealer. If this sob wins or the Repubs steal the election -AGAIN- for him, we are so f*cked.

This billionaire doesn't even know what a gallon of milk costs let alone CARE about it. He certainly can't relate to the little guy's problems and he sure doesn't care. "47%" to him is really the 98%.

This guy wants elevators for his cars and the shaft for workers.

Anyone who votes for this guy deserves what they get.

The guy who "harvests" businesses and off-shores jobs is suddenly going to help farmers, vets and women?

Will the sheep will vote for the smarmy butcher?

I'm. Not. Illegal.
 

If I get sent back just know I loved you all.

Romney is being very effective. The President is too, but Romney is excellent.

Romney's speechwriters deserve some credit. Get a green card stapled to your diploma? Good stuff.

No human being is ILLEGAL, they are undocumented.


The debate is highly upsetting when they are playing by two different sets of rules. Romney the bully!

Did President Obama say "gangbangers"?

OMG he is lying like a rug re his self-deportation comment.

Romney's bullshit of talking over the Moderator and talking over President Obama is just absolutely the most ridiculously bullyish and PRIVILEGED behavior that I have ever witnessed in a debate format.

I wish a deranged, rabid gorilla would run up on the stage and bite his damn face off.
