Obama can't be excessively aggressive here because, historically, viewers label him as "arrogant" when he does.

Obama is busy fixing America, he's not worried about coming up with clever lies like Romney, he actually has a job to do, Obama protects this country.

Romney has clearly won this debate. Nearly every Obama answer has been long winded and rambling. Romney had been direct and on message, even if his message is poor.

This, it's hard to watch.

But if Romney/Ryan were to win it would speed up anti-capitalist sentiment among the masses so whatever.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider

Wow, as an outside observer, both of your nominees sound horrible. I should start paying attention to Chinese politics as that's who's going to run the world after America's collapse.

Let's us join together to create a united Canadian/American front to combat this 'Chinese' threat. We will bring the Mannings and you provide the bag milk.

The leaks from his campaign this past week stated that this would be exactly his plan. Looks like they were right. Short on facts, big on BS.

Romney didn't pull out some kind of secret ninja debate skills and try to create mass confusion. He just said what he wanted to say very easily while Obama was thinking about god knows what. I hate this casual attitude he has. Romney just did basic prep a whole lot better.

Dammit Obama, my family is celebrating right now talking about how great Romney is. :(

This is what sucks. Romney threw out lie after lie but he did it with confidence and 'inspiring' rhetoric that will galvanize and inspire his base and that burns my ass.

Also here's a Jim Lehrerrr burn:

What a shitty debate. Romney did better than expected, but I'm gonna have to give to Obama. Romney talked around shit too much, Obama at least was specific and went in on Romney's crap.

But yeah, Obama looked tired as shit.

To be fair, I've been paying way more attention to the BS that Romney is spewing. My eyes glaze over whenever Obama talks, but that's mostly because I know most of his policies already.

Romney hasn't said anything specific on what he's going to do, his platform seems just to be "not what Obama's doing."

Obama should have spoken stronger and attacked more. We democrat elitists don't mind a little attacking and swearing and passion to appeal to the lesser people who will be voting.

Romney came out swinging tonight. It was both an asset and liability for him.
Obama does need to show more fire next debate.

It's the truth. So many people will decide who to vote for based on a news headline or sound bite that says Romney whooped Obama, which he did sadly.

Oh, I was referring specifically to the this'll let Romney win New York and California part. I agree Romney won.

Romney did a way better job on optics.

Obama looked like he's trying to play it as safe and generic as possible, while not being at his best composure wise.

A UK perspective... Romney "won", but he ended up acting like a pushy arsehole to do it.

Obama lacked direction IMO, and could have done with (ironically) being more of a pushy arsehole.

I don't feel anyone won. Romney looked annoyed and petty always having to get the last word. Obama looked like he spent more time explaining his own plan than drilling Romney on his stupid comments. Not one mention of 47%?

It won't move polls though. Romney has to win basically every swing state and more and this isn't going to do it.

Obama didn't mention 47% once. I guess they want to save it for the attack ads? Also he never refuted the 718 billion Medicare cut line

I feel Romney did great but Obama played it very safe
