One of the three men on the stage was responsible for Obama’s disaster.
Clearly it was not Romney, who is a loser an old out-of-touch plutocrat. How could Romney have laid a glove on Boy Wonder?
Obviously it was not The Lightbringer, who can do no wrong.
By the process of elimination, it must be Jim Lehrer’s fault! He was the only other person there!
For a man who has moderated numerous Presidential debates in the past, he Lehrer looked disoriented yesterday.
Did he get enough sleep?
RE: “Lehrer sucked.”
I actually thought it was good that Lehrer got out of the way and let the Romney and Obama go at it.
I think he gave Romney more time than Obama to speak. Other than that... I thought Lehrer was OK.
lehrer did fine, he set the questions, asked follow ups and didnt get in the way, let them get on with it, they seem to forget that Obama actually got 5 minutes more answer time last night and still lost by a mile.
Lehrer did a fairly absent job of it. He wasn’t that noticeable, and that’s good. He’s not the story.
On the other hand, when he did interject himself it was largely in interrupting Romney. The few times he interrupted Obama it was almost coaching: “Don’t you want to talk about this?”
Obama seemed to ramble on and on at times, and he didn’t get stopped. Romney would cross his 2 minutes, and the interruptions would begin.
This was fairly infrequent, however, in the total debate. It was just one-sided when it did happen.
To be fair, Conservatives have been fairly consistent in their criticism of Lehrer.
If things had gone the other way, Conservatives would be taking a much harsher tone on Lehrer.
Like I said before, Stephanie Cutter blamed Obama’s poor debate performance on Jim Lehrer. That is like blaming the Lincoln assassination on the lousy play being performed in Ford’s Theatre.
It’s about time obama had to stand on his own two feet. He’s had media cover since 2008. If obama was able to support his own record he wouldn’t have lost the debate. It’s that simple.
I thought Lehrer was a godsend. His open ended questions allowed the debaters to lay out their visions. I am sick of having moderators who use their questions to further the left’s agenda. Recall how little Georgie S and Diane (the spider) Sawyer tried to tie their talking point cans to the various GOP candidates in the primary debate series.
I remember George S. being the one who kicked off the ‘war on women’ meme by asking Romney some ludicrous question about states passing laws that would make birth control illegal. Huh?
Well, we all know they are just pissed off because he didn’t control Romney enough and make Ostupid look good.
Hey lefties, nobody could have helped Obama, not even Lehrer, without making himself look foolish.
they were upset that Jimmy boy didn’t take up the typical media spot under Obama’s podium... Jimmy expected the debate to be between two adults, not an unprepared agitator and a serious business person.
When Lehrer kept trying to interrupt Romney, it gave him an opportunity to just talk past him. That’s the kind of thing we were looking for, since we know the mods *all* suck.
Mr. Leherer has, I’m sure, been disinvited from all future Beltway cocktail parties.
Get ready to spend the rest of your Saturday nights down at TGI Fridays with Bernard Shaw....
Blaming Lehrer for Obama’s incompetence and bumbling responses is typical of the MSM’s coddling of poor little Obie - bama.
I enjoyed the debate last night. No red and green lights or interruptions by the peanut gallery. Just a good back and forth. Too bad it was a slaughter libs.
Lehrer messed up according to the Obamamedia by letting Romney speak. That is verboten in debates making it one of the best debates in decades.
We finally have an articulate candidate.
Pray for America
We’ve gone from Bush’s fault to Lehrer’s fault.
Is there some law requiring it?
Right. Liberals rely on moderators to help them out in these debates. CNN in “fact check” mode this am trashing romney. These people are zombies who refuse to die and they will try to sping and detract from romney’s impressive performance last night.
