Presidential Debate - Romney and Obama - starts NOW

Jim Lehrer moderating.

So glad to hear Romney tell Lehrer that to his face, in front of the whole nation.

It would have been kinder for Romney to walk up to Jim Lehrer and kick him in the teeth.

Romney is definitely doing better than Obama

[Torahman]

Obama:A Large blank piece of paper.
Romney: Edward Sissorhands.

They are debating each other...therefore Romney should be looking at and addressing obama.

Just checked a lib site. Lots of insults for Romney, as to be expected, but quite a few are dismayed and think obama’s getting creamed.

Best tweet of the night: “Sorry, I tripped backstage.” @GregGutfeld

[JaguarXKE]

That was my favorite line all night!

[therightliveswithus]

MITT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gamecock]

Invoke Reagan!
Atta boy.

[Kingosaurus]

Of course Romney’s winning.

He’s debating an empty chair.

[virgil]

Obamster doesn’t like being criticized. BTW, FR is slow tonight, at least for my computer. Must be the traffic.

It’s disgusting. My cousin and his minions FB’ing “Go get’em, Barack!”; some website. How do you “DISLIKE” a posting? Sick. How are my cousins such communists?

Meanwhile, we lost my sister last month who was a good conservative. Another vote lost. (Isn’t it sad how I’m thinking this way - actually, it’s definitely not the only way I’m thinking regarding her.)

[lyby]

To my utter dismay, they sound the same to me... What a catastrophe. How has our great country come to this shameful and sad scenario where we have NO viable candidate? (rhetorical question)

[liberalh8ter]

Obama’s greatest accomplishment this evening has been to reveal that he's a complete and utter moron.

[Grandma Pam]

Oh my goodness, Obama is absolutely incoherent! He’s making no sense at all.

[expat1000]

Just tuned in to C-Span. First impression - Obama looks nervous as hell. Lots of ums and ahs - obviously using his internal teleprompter. Not spontaneous at all. Can’t handle anything he didn’t script for.

[RightWingConspirator]

The debate is far more effective is the audience can see Romney looking Obumbler in the eye and telling him he is wrong!

[pepsi_junkie]

For what it’s worth, I walked through the sewer that is DU and for the most part they are not happy with Obama’s performance at all.

[KeyLargo]

You can watch Obama's face tighten and veins in his forehead start to pop up. Just look at how his forehead starts to lighten up. He is pissed that the moderator is not cutting Romney off.

Lehrer should be fired for licking 0bama’s _____. Romney has 0bama on the defensive 90% of this debate. 0bama looks rattled and incoherent. I can’t follow 0bama’s train of thought. It’s just soundbites. Romney appears aggressive and confident. Far more coherent than 0bama, IN SPITE OF LEHRER’S OBVIOUS HAND-HOLDING WITH 0BAMA. I’d be curious to see the total time each talked. 0bama is already off the charts. Sickening, but all Romney had to do was hold his own. Hopefully, independents will commit to him tonight. 0bama lied through his teeth numerous times and played ‘I’m a conservative’ many times. Egregious!
