He should have hammered Zer0 more, instead of spending half his time on free money. And of course Bamster’s first comment is about GM. Predictable, but I think it’s a bad strategy - since so many people still have a bad taste in their mouth about the bailouts.

[Mr Rogers]

Obama is arguing he’ll create jobs with spending on education and solar. Anyone dumb enough to believe that will work may be a student in NY...

[NJRighty]

Zero mentioned community colleges again. I think he mentioned it three times in the last debate. He was so successful with that line last time I guess he decided to use it again.

[Red Steel]

I don’t think Obama answered Epstein the college kid’s question. Wind and Solar blah blah....

[Mr. Wright]

Obama or Romney?

[CCGuy]

YES! Mitt stated unemployment is really 10.7 % Major score. Eat it Zero!

[onyx]

Oh For cripes sake.

Romney’s answer was weak to the college student.

Obama gets in a lying slam against Romney and then goes onto lie.

ENERGY? LIES about oil and again about creating 5 million jobs in the private sector!

#debates "Your future is bright" Obama says. Who believes that? citing stats about job creation is distant and remote. He's giving a canned answer. Seems not to be relating to the kid. Romney really related to him, but Obama is talking past him and reeling off programs and stats

[Miss Didi]

Poor Jeremy is dreading his future in Detroit in an auto factory.

[NoLibZone]

WOW O never said Hi and Thank you all for being here.

[mykroar]

It’s times like this when I wish I still drank!!!!!

I'll drink yours for you. :o)

[TigerClaws]

First answer, first lie from Obama.

Energy. He really wants to bring this up?

I don’t think any clear winner will come out of this format. Canned answers.

[peggybac]

Ah, geez, the class warfare begins and it’s only 10 minutes in.

[Miss Didi]

Barry sounds like a thug. I’m already screaming.

[Jane Long]

Thug0 is here!

What about GE, fool?

[NoLibZone]

Straight to class warafre!

[workerbee]

First questioner, Jeremy, absolutely a plant. Notice though it was Romney up to answer, Jeremy never looked at him, his eyes were on Obozo.

Mitt’s answer was a bit paplum-y, IMO. But Obozo was all over the damn board.

[doug from upland]

Mitt not looking very good yet. Obama on offense.

#debates Romney has good comeback on auto industry. Necessary bankruptcy. Good comeback. Obama sounds bad attacking advantage Romney on first exchange. Romney sounds very good in saying things aren't good. More credible than "your future is
