yep Romney is doing very very well so far.

Glad to hear it, I cant bring myself to watch.

Andy - you should be watching. Mitt ain't takin' no chitt off the Kenyan.

So the teleprompter-less Halfrican is getting owned?

I'm stuck on some true crime crap on Investigation Discovery. ***rolls eyes***

I have joined you. That smug smile on the kenyan's face sickens me. I may flip back to true crime crap.

Would it be racist of me to say Obozo is getting "owned" by Mitt?

Not at all....Obama needs to fall of the face of the dadgum earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting a beat down on the 90 billion to energy companies. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You go Romney, you've earned my respect.

10 minutes to go - I want to hear about foreign policy and immigration!

this is truly 90 minutes whereby the media cannot shield their idiot.

More debates to come. Hoe Romney can hold his own on the other debates.

The Ryan/Biden debate should be interesting.

I watched the debate on CBS, why? I don't know... But the first comment by one of the media was " They both seemed evenly matched".

That's not what I saw...

I cant wait for Ryan vs Biden

PLEASE dont make me out to be a bad person because I flipped to CNN "just to see" what "they" thought and the 10 minutes that I watched, 75% of CNN seemed to think that Romney dominated. HA LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love to see liberals being in fear, but dadgum, they seemed to "mostly" say that Romney won it. Wow!

MSNBC was even better. They were horrified. Nothing was tingling tonight!

I liked Romney's response about what the government's roll was. He turned to the Constitution in the background.

Obama couldn't even look at Mitt

but you can bet Romney had better stay on top of this because Obama will come back in the next two. His people will work him over. .

Somewhere in Kenya a village is missing their idiot.

Well done Mitt.

X2. Like said earlier, there's still more debates to come. More time to skew things in Obama's favor.

..please tell me where you can buy a new car for $3600.00.

Let's put on our thinking caps.

COULD Obama really have been THAT bad?
Or COULD this be a political strategy of the Obama camp?
After all, there really is no defense of Obama's failed policies and his failure to keep his word on some quite simple 2008 campaign promises, i.e. "transparency", "laser focus", "work with both sides of aisle", doubling instead of "halving" the debt, etc. When a sitting President has already publically stated that he doesn't deserve a 2nd term should he fail (and he has), then what becomes his re-election strategy?

The Obama camp has already previously established low expectations in the public regarding THIS first debate. But there's still two more to go before the election, and the last one may matter most.

Imagine how sensational it will be SHOULD Obama greatly exceed the now lowered expectations for the 2nd and 3rd debates??
Underdog to Comeback Kid! New Tingles Shock Nation! Electrofying Obama Smokes Romney!

I find it hard to believe that Obama is in reality the babbling idiot he appeared in this first debate. He now has more people "feeling sorry" for him. Perhaps he's switched from playing the "Race Card" to playing the "Sympathy Card".

Let's not forget the old saying of "Misery Loves Company", and there are a lot of people who are basically just "unhappy" no matter who's the President, no matter what. This could be Obama's play on emotions to garner votes, after all, and coupled with a resurgence of Obama's charisma in the 2nd debate . . . . . . many people vote totally on "likeability" and their emotions towards the candidate (no matter what the facts, without farther thought or logical).

On the other hand, many undecideds who watched this debate have now decided they "like" Mitt Romney, and I continue to believe this trend of Mitt gaining popularity will grow, and Romney will win in a "landslide". Just saying Obama cannot run on his record, therefore, his exceptionally poor performance in the 1st debate may have been a purposeful way of playing the "Sympathy Card".

Obama can't defend his losing record. ...
Last night for 90 minutes Obama had no free passes and no protection from the media. For 90 minutes out of the last four years he was exposed for how incompetent and lazy he really his. He knew that once he got through the 90 minutes he would be back under the protection of the media and he can go back to 30 second sound bites of lies and blame someone else and class warfare. That's all he has.

Obama is a fraud. He knows it. For 90 minutes last night, America knew it...

Who knew that Clint Eastwood was such a good judge of character? Last night’s bout was billed as Romney’s last chance, and who showed up to the fight? The chair.

What you saw last night was the real Obama. An empty suit. We now know the REAL reason he won’t release his college transcripts – he’s a blithering idiot. No wonder he wouldn’t meet with Netanyahu. Bibbi is the alpha male over Obama. Just like Putin.

The Bolshevik, Libs, etc. make a big deal that "he" got Bin Laden - as if making that decision was in some way heroic. There was no decision to be made. You just do it, and even then he waffled, listening to Valerie Jarret.

The "man" can’t make eye contact, an indication of self doubt. Good Grief!!! It looked like he was actually agreeing with Romney half the time.

As usual, Lib-Dems are blaming everyone other than Obama. They even blame it on Lerher. Maddow actually said it was the format. I thought the format was great. They actually got to argue their points with each other. Obama had no arguments because he has no accomplishments.

Next we’ll hear about the toll campaigning has taken on the president. The dude LOVES that plane.

This is what happens when you let Hollywood and the media hype a candidate. You love his looks – and don’t pay attention to his competence and experience. Hollywood makes caricatures out of actors who are human. Unfortunately, the human can never live up to the caricature.

Obama was billed as a saviour. What you saw last night was the man.

Actually you saw the chair.

Let's put on our thinking caps.

Make no mistake. Romney won that debate! But, do not think for one second that it is over. The libs will attack him personally and politically. His character will be assassinated, his family will be attacked, His marriage will be assailed and His businesses will be picked apart. Even his personal safety will at risk (Secret Service will need to be on their toes).
They will find crap! Not because it is real or actual crap. They will make up and obfuscate until they can convince their base that Romney and/or Ryan are unfit to hold office. The base will then go out and muddy water and cast aspersions and doubt (this is what they did to Sarah Palin). They will make people who are on the fence question everything. After a performance like this one they have no choice. Because, they don't care that Romney is a better choice. They want Obama and Harry Reid to complete the Fundamental transformation of the U.S.A. into a European style Socilalist style of government. They will stop at nothing to acheive that end.

I will be honest, I only watched about 20 minutes of the debate. Romney was clearly the more informed, better prepared and most convincing of the two. Obama appeared to lose focus on the questions and would stammer and regain his path. I was impressed by Romney's overall "Presidential" presence. He had the Reagan type authority about him. Respectful, mannerly, but not a door mat for the world. He is a leader that others will follow.

We need a like button for this.

And so it begins. I got this today on my Facebook Account. Unleash the Character Assassin!!

The risk would be to high for such a theory, thats just Obama without his prompter, his protection, his brain. It was who we've know and said he was all along.
The come back kid the only hope they have now, but i dout it was ever thier plain.
Obama couldnt have held back from replys, its just he had none, he had no defence!

"How is he suppose to memorize an hour and a half debate?"

That single sentence says much of what's gone wrong in America over the past two or three generations, and it began in our public school systems with "standardized" testing where "memorizing" items and groupings became more important than critical "thinking" skills and actual "learning" of subject matter.

Too many people are unable to "think", but are pretty good at rote "memorization". Learn to memorize a bunch of meaningless subject matter and you'll be labeled an "intellectual". Otherwise, just get good at reading and speaking out loud what you read on a teleprompter and the intellectuals will label you "brilliant".
