Even Oldtimer should be impressed; Romney advocated the importance of bipartisanship, and how he can get things done by working with both Republicans and Democrats. Romney did a great job with the debate tonight. The moon must be just right, because the tide has turned. :wink: :)

MSNBC’s Ed Schultz joins the conversation to explain why he’s disappointed in Obama’s debate performance calling him “off his game.”

Lawrence O'Donnel "Time for a new Obama debate strategy?"

Matthews on Obama: "I don’t know what he was doing"

MSNBC's Chris Matthews rants, 'Where was Obama tonight?'

What Romney was doing tonight, unlike Obama, was "winning," Matthews said.

Matthews described Obama’s debate performance as “like, ‘I’ll wait an hour and a half, I think I can get through this thing. I don’t even look at this guy.' Whereas Romney — I loved the split screen, staring at Obama, addressing him, like the prey. He did it just right. I'm coming at an incumbent. I've got to beat him. You gotta beat the champ, and I’m gonna beat him tonight. And I don't care what this guy moderator, whatever he thinks he is, because I'm going to ignore him. What was Romney doing? He was winning.”

Matthews said he didn’t know what Obama “was doing out there — he had his head down. He was enduring the debate rather than fighting it.”

Romney, though, went out there with a “plan” to dominate the evening, and he succeeded, Matthews said.

it was almost amusing watching MSNBC debate coverage.. :lol:

Poor Al was downright furious..

Obama's performance was mediocre,.. even the moderator couldn't save him... :lol:

One thing I have noticed about liberals and their warped mindset.

They had rather see their country go to hell than admit defeat, but they especially don't like to admit they were wrong.

What's even worse on them is admitting that we were right............

When it comes to the current president they were. Bad wrong.........

In the immortal words of Nature Boy Ric Flair: To be the Man, you gotta beat the Man".

Mitt beat the Man 7 ways from Sunday tonight, just like Ryan is going to eviscerate Biden.

In a forum built to provide equal time, Obama had spoken five full minutes more than Romney at the debate’s 65-minute mark.

Most of the night’s memorable lines came from Romney, who short-handed Obama’s approach to governing as “trickle-down government”

Romney characterized the decline in middle-class income as “the economy tax.”

“They're just being crushed,” Romney said, drawing out the word. “It's been crushing.”

" You’ve been president four years,” Mr. Romney said at one point, ticking through a list of promises that he said Mr. Obama had not lived up to. Drawing contrasts with the president’s approach, he said, “Middle-income families are being crushed.”

. Obama may have almost nodded off a few times. but to his credit the President went all fifteen rounds before taking a nap... :lol:

according to twitter..

the left is having a "hissy fit'..

“i can’t believe i’m saying this, but Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter,” liberal comedian Bill


“Obama made a lot of great points tonight. Unfortunately, most of them were for Romney,” Maher said in another tweet.

Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore had something of a hissy fit on Twitter over the president’s performance.

“lemme get this straight. You can send in drones that kill civilians, but you can’t stop Romney or Lehrer from interrupting you?,”

“Is Bill Clinton coming in to sub for the next quarter? O! Wake up! Attack! That is not john McCain over on that podium!”

Liberal Daily Beast writer Andrew Sullivan also saw the president’s performance as disastrous.

“Look: you know how much I love the guy, and how much of a high info viewer I am, but this was a disaster for Obama,” he tweeted.

Sullivan even suggested Wednesday night’s performance may have lost the election for the president.

“How is Obama’s closing so ####ing sad, confused, lame? He choked. He lost. He may even have lost election tonight,” he tweeted.

ouch.... can't wait to hear Letterman... :lol:

Romney handed Obama his backside to him on a silver platter. Obama looked like he would have rather been on the golf course than being on that stage.

The one thing I wish Romney would have done is when they were speaking about the roll of government and Obama said the roll of government is to keep Americans safe, I wish Romney would have said "like you kept Ambassador Christopher Stevens safe, like you kept the three others in Libya safe, Yes it is the job of Government is to keep Americans safe and taking 100% verses 40% of your national security briefing would have been a great step in the right direction.

Obama opened that door and Romney missed his opportunity to take it to Obama on his foreign policies that he has been running his whole campaign on.

First excuse of the night......
Immediately following the close of the first presidential debate between Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama, MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow said that she could not quite declare a winner but she could declare a loser – PBS anchor and debate moderator Jim Lehrer. Maddow said Lehrer helped kill this particular debate format for the foreseeable future.
“In terms of how the overall debate unfolded, I personally do not know who won this debate,” Maddow said. “I do know that we saw this debate format die a very painful death on camera tonight.
Maddow went on to describe Obama as appearing “calm, professorial and basically explanatory,” while she said Romney appeared “hyper” and “amped.”
“That manifested in a way in which the debt format was just dismantled – the format and I think the moderator, with all due respect to Jim Lehrer,” said Maddow.
Watch the clip below via MSNBC:

Some of Romney's best comments were about how

Obama picks losers when he invests US tax payer money aka SOLYNDA,

how yes there is an increase in Domestic oil and gas production but it was not because of Obama as it is on PRIVATE land not Federal.

And for the Ron Paul supporters he talked about the Constitution and how some of these programs deserve to be at STATE LEVEL, not federal level.

Oh and how he can't draw out a clear cut point by point plan as the Congress will have some points that might make his plans work better and he wasn't going to rule them out like Obama did. He was not going to put out his plan and say it is my way or the highway LIKE OBAMA'S PARTISAN PLAN WERE.

Romney proved he was able to be bipartisan when he took a Democrat control state and managed to work with the 86% of Democrats and get Mass. working for the people. UNLIKE OBAMA THAT STUFFED HIS PARTISAN PLANS THROUGH ON A PARTY LINE VOTE AND THEN BLAMED OTHERS FOR HIS FAILURES.

From a few days ago....

There's been a lot of crying foul over media bias in recent days, but Jennifer Granholm, the former Michigan Gov. and barnburning Democratic convention speaker, has turned all anticipation of post-debate pro-Obama narrative on its head.

In an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan, Granholm said the media will actually rule Romney the winner, no matter his performance.

"The media doesn't like a lopsided race so I actually have predicted that the media are going to declare that Mitt Romney is the winner of the first debate, regardless of actually what happens," said Granholm, who hosts her own show on Current TV. "The pendulum can not sustain itself if it's too lopsided in terms of the media."

There you have it: a Democratic politician-cum-liberal mediate accusing the mainstream media of a pro-Romney bias. For right-wing watchdogs, this is better than all the cats in Washington standing on the wall in a row.

Personally, I thought Jim Lehrer did a good job letting each man finish their
thoughts. Usually someone gets stopped before they have made their
point.

I heard it said that Obama will be different in the next debate...(I think
different meant come off better than he did tonight). I never did trust
someone (Obama) that wouldn't look at you when you were talking (Romney).

Obama can't come off much different as he still won't gave his record to run on and can only blame others. He misses his TelePrompTer, his speeches wrote by others and the koolAde crowd cheering. Plus he was counting the minutes until he could leave and take Michelle on a trip for their ann'v

The next debate is on foreign and Domestic affairs and with the Congress starting their hearing on Libya I hope Romney stays on that topic a good amount of the time.

Tonight proved Romney had a great coach on domestic affairs but for the next two debates I hope they bring in the four former Sec. of States that have endorsed Romney to coach him on Foreign affairs. Obama thinks because he lived in a foreign country at six years old makes him some kind of expert and he is going to be coming in cocky as he has already been out there claiming Romney has no experience, AS IF HE DID 4 YEARS AGO :roll: . Romney needs to make him wish he had just stayed on the back nine hiding from all the question about what intel told him it was the Video that caused the Libyan PLANNED PREMEDITATED TERRORIST ATTACK THAT KILLING AN AMBASSADOR. Romney needs to make it well known that Obama has missed almost 60% of his national security briefings and because of that he left embassies without needed security on the anniversary of 911. Those watching the debates need to know after Obama got the news about Ambassador Christopher Stevens death he canceled a national Security briefing and flew to Vegas for a fund raiser. AND instead of meeting with Foreign leaders at the UN meetings like the POTUS should be doing he chose to be EYE CANDY on the VIEW. It is time Obama starts paying for his choices of campaigning over being the POTUS. :mad:

Obama looked like a college freshmen that just realized he was sitting in a post grad economics class. At the end of 90 minutes he headed straight to the registrar's office to drop the class and sign up for a repeat of "The Three R's".
