When Mitt zinged 0 on GM and bankruptcy, 0’s voice went up a few octaves. He sounded like Bryant Gumball saying `Good Morning’ to Jane Pauley.

[EBH]

I’m listening to 0bama...he is also slurring his words. His tone is a pitch higher too.

He’s on something...

[Leep]

I really do not like 0.

Romney attacking Obama over his energy failures. Obama still lying than production is up. Any increase in production is from Bush admin approval.

WOW Candy. Good for her.

IS 4.00 gas the new normal.

[snarkytart]

lol You’re gonna have a heart attack. We’re only 15 minutes into this.

I think this townhall format isn’t going to get too exciting.
As long as Romney looks and sounds good and doesn’t make a big gaffe we’ll be fine.

[mykroar]

LOL. Look at the faces in the crowd, they ain’t buying what 0’s selling. Third time Zer0’s spoken - third time he’s accused Romney of lying.

#debates focus group on screen doesn't like attack by Obama Romney should have insisted on the floor. Cant led moderator run over him

good harsh question on gas prices. Obama's increase in oil production is due to Clintonand Bush prmits. new permits are way down

doubled clean energy from 2% to 4% of energy generation. Nominal. And he won't OK offshore drilling and would stop fracking if

if he could. Keep gas prices lower??? They've doubled since you were in office. obama doesn't look good attacking. See focus group reaction. tneds down whenever he attacks

[eyedigress]

Obama is way over his head. His lying chickens are coming home to roost.

Go Mitt Go

[Jane Long]

The lies are flying...just lie, Mr.pResident, that’s all you need to do to get through the night.

[Rodm]

det 1 ny 0

[mylife]

Obama LIES! He shit down 11.5 million acres of drilling just this week!

[machogirl]

Barry himself said he didn’t deserve another term if he “couldn’t fix the economy”. Use that vid in an ad. (I suppose it depends on what he meant by “fix”)

#debates good point on Obama is anticoal. Romney should cite doubling in gas prices. Excellent answer. Romney wins round 2. Pipeline. pipeline is very popular. Romney is right for raisingpipeline issue. Advantage Romney in round two (and one)

[matt04]

Obama refusing to answer Rooney’s question about how much he cut in permits.

[NoLibZone]

Getting ugly!!!
