Wait, a moderate is supposed to be aggressive?
Translation: Lehrer did not rig it for Obama.
For the first time, in a long time the Presidential Debates, a moderator actually sounded fair.
So the libs are ticked that he didnt help Obama out more.
Duh!
Matthews sounded like he was going to start crying and kicking the ground.
I didn’t see the debate, but honestly, if Romney doesn’t let Lehrer “control the debate,” who’s going to stop him? What is Lehrer supposed to do? They’re not going to cut the cameras, turn out the lights. Why should Romney listen to a nobody like Jim Lehrer?
Romney apparently knew that he had to fight both the media and Obama in this debate. He took care of the former by simply ignoring it. The ‘debate moderator’ has no power. He’s irrelevant.
I think he really was trying to be fair, which is why the left is so annoyed. And obama was very annoyed when interrupted on his “professorial” remarks demanding 5 more seconds, and more.
Yet, throughout the last four years, will any of the aforementioned Media ask thorough follow up questions of this President, “have more follow up to pin down their views”.
The Obots have to find someone to blame, other then their
Marxist messiah.
So now we know what the game plan will be in the VP and the next two presidential debates.
I hope Romney and Ryan are up to having to fight off both democratic candidates and the moderators.
Stupid writing, He says ‘MSM’ and then quotes all those committed Obama supporters.
MSNBC is not the MSM, it is the Dem channel.
Over at MSNBC there was also plenty of criticism of Obama for being weak and praising of R for winning, and yes cursing him for ‘lying’.. Not fitting the Koolaid formula.
As usual, Barry isn’t the blame for his poor performance. Now, its the moderator. These fools have caused this with their molly coddling Obama. They have no one to blame but themselves for carrying his water for the past 5 years.
No, he just Failed to rig it for Obama. He did try, but he didn't expect Romney to bring a Gun to a Knife fight.
I think Obama might just make old Jim Lehrer the new Ambassador to Libya.
Massachusetts moderate manhandles moderator.
You really know Romney won the debate when the libs can’t even credibly claim that Romney lost. They refuse to admit Obama lost, so they have no choice but to blame the moderator.
This was a totally open debate format. As Lehrer explained it, they were supposed to have 15 minutes to discuss issues freely without questions. It’s not Lehrer’s fault that Obama couldn’t compete on a level playing field.
It’s just too obvious that the leftist “news” people are mad that Lehrer didn’t help Zero take Romney down.
No, he just Failed to rig it for Obama. He did try, but he didn't expect Romney to bring a Gun to a Knife fight.

The liberal media is despicable.
If this debate had gone the other way, the media would just declare the entire race over and anoint Obama for a second term instead of attacking the moderator.
While for the moment the consensus is that Romney won, he certainly did just stomp on the Moderator. Given the past complaints that Romney has acted like a bully, tonight’s performance will merely confirm this opinion in the minds of some. The question that needs to be answered is whether the Romney take no prisoners style is what would successfully run the government and international relations.
