[criesofthepast]

my god this is awful. One of them says something as fact, the other says 'no that's not true'. Rinse and repeat. Ugh. The fact checkers should be backstage checking things and they should tally up a score after every round to sort out the bullshit.

I wish they honked a horn or rang a bell everytime one of them lies up there. Would be fun.

 

[Father_Brain]

Obama lost the election tonight. We're fucked

 

[Dark Octave]

I'm sure there is a live stream somewhere. Here is a live blog.

I found one.

Thanks though.

 

[Kyon]

Flopney is SEETHING rn

 

[richiek]

I will say this for Romney - his presentation is damn near flawless.

LOL

 

[The Frankman]

Obama just pointed out mitts biggest flaw.

shush you're making too much sense.

 

[Cyan]

If Lehrer had any integrity, he would return any money he was paid for "moderating" this debate.

Seriously. This is replacement-ref level shit.

 

[JABEE]

Jim needed to set a tone. he didn't do that from the start.

He has to get some control. Throw the yellow flag and penalize one side. There are going to be fights after every play with this clown ref.

 

[Phoenix]

Mittens looks scared ...

 

[man of science]

This is a joke. Or should be. Is SNL still on the air?

 

[Jintor]

lol obama stealing an unrelated question to jump to national security

oh... he didn't take the jump

 

[GashPrex]

You all know that a President is not a dictator right?

 

[Kifimbo]

My conclusion: Obama does not like to look at robots.

 

[golem]

Mitt has gotten the last word on every topic.

Yet obama is still ahead by 4 minutes?

 

[Kalnos]

Romney making a damn good case for being in a position of governance, rather than a king.

trololol

 

[Patryn]

Mitt has gotten the last word on every topic.

Yep. If Obama gets the first word on this one, then Romney got the first word on the last one. But he also got the last word?

Obama's being way too passive.

 

[Owzers]

How is something a model for the nation state by state?

well, some states are planning on leaving the union and need health care ideas.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Romney making a damn good case for being in a position of governance, rather than a king.

so you made up a number?

 

[Smiley90]

Lol, CNN has it.

And Romney is constantly 3 mins less than Obama, even when he gets the last word.

Romney just makes it seem like he's talking way more, not sure if htat's a good or a bad thing.

 

[Polishin8r]

Mitt its time for History Lesson son!

 

[ViperVisor]

I'm sure that the State Sentate Majority leader of Massachusetts didn't say that his goal was to make Mitt a one term governor. Gee I wonder why he doesn't get any Republican support?

 

[DragonSworne]

Did Mitt just admit he doesn't yet have a plan?

Yes, seems like most people didn't notice or don't want to notice

 

[Jadedx]

Is CNN doing that ticker thing with indies? Who's winning?

 

[phosphor112]

Obama talks too slow.

 

[Mariolee]

Someone got a timer on who has talked the most?

Also: Romney's response to lack of detail? We have choices. But no detail.

CNN has one. Obama's got over by Romney by 4 minutes and counting.

 

[Vaporak]

I think Romney is going to come out at least decently in this debate. Because he has absolutely no hesitation in lieing through his teeth if it looks good in the moment.

 

[EatinOlives]

Even when Obama is about to say that Romney releases no details for any of his plans, he manages to say it awkwardly. This is frustrating to watch.

But at least Bams is now calling Romney out on his bull.

He....uh...doesn't...uh...detail the....uh...plan...

BOOM. HEAD...uh...SHOT.

 

[ezekial45]

Obama lost the election tonight. We're fucked

Oh stop it. He's doing fine.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[methane47]

Thats because time has a liberal bias

 

[Gray Man]

Obama lost the election tonight. We're fucked

You haven't seen any data, or polls, how do you come to this conclusion?

 

[reilo]

Yet obama is still ahead by 4 minutes?

Ten-word answers don't take much time.

 

[thecouncil]

CNN:

Obama 34:30
Romney 30:38

 

[Godslay]

Obama lost the election tonight. We're fucked

Hahaha, no.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

holy shit this topic is all over the road. I've seen Obama/Romney just lost the election too many times here

 

[mre]

"That's part of my healthcare plan".
-THAT'S A TERRIFIC SEGWAY

Dammit Jim

I laughed. Thank you.

 

[Cubsfan23]

Obama lost the election tonight. We're fucked

Lol

 

[Hale-XF11]

Weeeell, there you have it, folks...

ROMNEY HAS NO PLAN.

 

[Bread]

hahahahaha it's perfect

 

[NihonTiger90]

You're right about one thing, no one will care about what he said, and it's not going to close any gap in the polls.

Yeah. If anything, it swings it a whopping 1 point in Romney's favor in the long run. That's about it.

 

[PBY]

holy shit this topic is all over the road. I've seen Obama/Romney just lost the election too many times here

I hate this topic. Its just a soft-ball serve up for generalities.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Inb4 I DO WANT MORE TEACHERS. And this. And that. And everything!

 

[Kalnos]

holy shit this topic is all over the road. I've seen Obama/Romney just lost the election too many times here

It reminds me of E3 in all honesty. Talking about who 'won' and whatnot.

 

[Y2Kev]

Yet obama is still ahead by 4 minutes?

Romney has been much more effective in delivering his points in a concise manner. But he's still finished each segment.

 

[Amir0x]

I think Romney has definitely been a little more consistent, but that there have been no big knock outs - and knock outs is the only way for Romney to change this race. He will gain a point or two and then steady out.

 

[GashPrex]

CNN:

Obama 34:30
Romney 30:38

Funny based on GAF you'd think it was flipped

 

[thecouncil]

You haven't seen any data, or polls, how do you come to this conclusion?

you can feel it.

romney talks fast and loud. thats really all it takes. people are generally dumb.

 

[Wall]

When they were supposed to talk about jobs they spent twenty minutes arguing about the deficit. President Obama seemed to suggest that balancing the budget would cause the economy to grow. The opposite is true. Romney made more sense on the issue by accident. Too bad he is either lying through his teeth or flip flopping. President Obama is too nice about not calling him out.

Otherwise, Romney comes off as a nervous salesman on speed with something to hide and President Obama seems tired and disinterested.

Oh please...
