[Sviatoslav]

Romney with the condescending tone and gestures. Bound to work well.

 

[Brinbe]

HAHAHA, Obama straight up didn't listen to a single word Romney said. He's confident now, staring right into that camera.

 

[Baconsammy]

It's clear what the Romney debate plan is. Lie about his own plans and hope the people watching buy it and don't watch the news networks as they Fact Check his lies.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Obama just had to keep it going...*sigh*

 

[Azure Dream]

Jim: "Let's move on..."
Romney: "BUT BUT BUT"
Jim: "...Okay."

 

[Master Thespian]

Not if you actually listen to what he's saying.

That's not how it works for most people, sadly. This is what we mean when we say Romney was kicking Obama's ass pre-NEVERMIND.

 

[oneils]

No way. This format facilitates back and forth. You wont get this in the other debates.

Yeah, I can see this. Not great TV, though. But it does give them a lot of time to explore an issue.

 

[massoluk]

Now Obama did it. Why even have a format.

 

[tj hazuki]

This is getting good now

 

[Kyon]

Damn Obama is the hottest Prez EVA. SEETHE Mitt Fopney SEETHE

 

[Gray Man]

Obama just put his game face on.

 

[richiek]

Now Bams is striking back.

 

[Dany]

5 trillion
5 trillion
5 trillion

 

[Nert]

I disagree with the content of what Romney is saying, but he's certainly presenting it better so far. Obama is presenting himself in a pretty lethargic way.

 

[DurielBlack]

"Three percent of small businesses employ 40% (or some number, he went by it too fast) of americans"

soooo a handful of companies that employee millions are "small"?

 

[I'm an expert]

Awfully sloppy debate but I'm kinda impressed by Romney's delivery.

 

[Duffyside]

Obama went first, it's only fair that Romney get to finish on the topic. Why isn't Leherhehhhreh interrupting Barry?

 

[Confidence Man]

These debates are useless. They need an in-house fact checker sitting right next to the moderator to challenge the candidates' talking points.

 

[Atramental]

Ugh...

 

[HylianTom]

This is so boring.

That's my general takeaway at this point. No real stunning moments from either side thus far.

edit: and now O is citing the Clinton Economy. Smart move.

 

[mercenar1e]

romney is spewing shit..

 

[DragonSworne]

Lololol

Just get more jobs!!!! More tax cuts!!!! Lolololololooool

No deficit lolololo

Romney doesn't make any damn sense

 

[Wilsongt]

Damn Obama is the hottest Prez EVA. SEETHE Fopney SEETHE

I am loving you so much right now.

 

[timetokill]

Strong response by Obama here. Nice.

A live fact-checker is putting a gun in his mouth right about now.

 

[Kusagari]

Romney's just lying through his ass and denying anything Obama says.

This is stupid.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Haha damn Obama.

 

[KingFire]

Math common sense!

 

[Phoenix]

Obama, you should have practiced this damnit.

 

[zou]

Wow, in Obama's America businesses pay sales tax. Shame on you Mr. President.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

What's wrong with Barry?

 

[GillianSeed79]

Jim you may want to move onto another topic.

Jim pleaze

 

[lastflowers]

I am all for common sense.

 

[Wes]

Shame they don't teach common sense in schools!

 

[shadyspace]

WAKE UP ULTRA

 

[J-Rod]

"5 weeks before the election, his stance has changed to 'nevermind.'"

Mitt came out strong, but pres turned it around here

 

[MasterShotgun]

The real loser so far is Jim Lehrer.

 

[- J - D -]

Does Romney sound like he's pleading to anyone else?

 

[TheNatural]

Romney getting owned here.

 

[TheExecutive]

Okay, this is gonna be very difficult.

Romney is just plainly lying about his own ideas and plans. He does it smoothly though. And it's Obama's job to debunk all the bullshit from Romney, which makes him think twice about numbers and details, which doesn't sound good.



Dirty tactics from Romney, but as of now it's working.

Yes, it is.

 

[WaltJay]

Is Jim Lehrer even there??!

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Please turn off your electronic devices while the Romney is speaking to avoid signal interference.

 

[Baconsammy]

Xbox Live bringing the interactivity with the debate.

 

[R2D4]

Romney sure does know a lot of hard luck cases doesn't he?

 

[Ozone]

How long is the debate, 12 hours?

 

[spindashing]

Kind of a mess. Like watching two guys talk to themselves. Up until the tax convo, at least. I'm still not quite sure what their position is on taxes. Romney talked in generalites, Obama with specifics (for taxes).

Agh...

On my way home. Some of these reactions are too good to not be watching along with, though. Haha.

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

Bill Clinton in the hizzzouse

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Now Bams is striking back.

He is repeating the same thing over and over.

 

[Spawnling]

Where can I watch this on the internet??

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

 

[Ovid]

Strong response by Obama here. Nice.

Yeah, he did well there.

 

[Pancakes]

Communist.
