Obama's soul is more callous and scarred than to be destroyed by his label as a liar.
Remember, the debates are a public forum which is used to present the candidates for future office before the American people.
Obama, in nearly every response, memorably began by accusing Romney as being a liar. That is either a tactic he had been drilled to state, buying him time to phrase his response, and/or a manifestation of frustration by a soul unable to listen to a different viewpoint and quickly judging those with differing viewpoints, and/or a Freudian slip, attempting to accuse his competition of an identical fault he knows he will be accused, so that those hearing the charges,..the voting public, will simply discount both charges, giving him equal access to the office as those who are honest and honorable.
Once he accuses with that label, the burden of proof is upon him to justify the charge.
Obama lies so frequently, that most honest observers have no problem identifying that trait without assistance.
Many voters are simply seeking a diligent honest and honorable person to vote into the Presidency,...anything more than an empty chair.
It is nice to observe Romney's response to Obama claiming he labeled the Benghazi attackers as terrorists. Romney knew it was false, but he wasn't accustomed to immediately attacking his opponent as an adversarial accuser. Romney expressed his belief Obama was engaged in another falsehood, while also manifesting respect for all until proven guilty. Romney has a sense of justice, which Obama not only lacks, but is void in seeking.
IMHO, Romney wins more hearts and minds by simply continuing to address problems and provide solutions. Let Obama/Biden continue to lie, obfuscate, accuse, smirk, and promote their egos. Those who vote for them simply label themselves as also lacking virtue.

Only problem is that it wasn’t an act of terror, but a coordinated infantry attack on foreign sovereign national soil by a covert military force on the anniversary of 9/11.
This Administration’s response of apologizing to other mass adversaries, at a time of defeat, simply encourages and strengthens the resolve of our adversaries, and promotes future acts of terror against Americans.
There is one remarkable similarity between the Twin Towers and Benghazi. Both could be interpreted as adversarial military attacks upon CIA covert operational bases by forces previously trained by the same.
One problem with covert warfare is that it must remain hidden to succeed. If covert operational campaigns continue to destroy national establishments, they no longer have the security afforded them by national governance.
Just as fragile are these newly formed national governments by covert support, they also may be intercepted by other national covert adversaries.
From what we know, Benghazi may have been instigated by Obama and Hillary, (which would ironically explain their rush to claim responsibility, a month after the fact) just as plausibly as it may have been an in-your-face Al Quada attack, or maybe Russian backed, or anybody else.
IMHO, Romney could point out that the Obama Administration’s handling of Benghazi has perhaps done more harm to the diplomatic community and undermined the mission of the UN than any other Administration in US history.
I’m in Jax too and have only seen a few.
1066...Battle of Hastings...end of the Dark Ages...Start of the Middle Ages!
I can’t help but feel Romney lost last night for that one moment, that he allowed that POS to look him in the eye and pretend to be the Commander in Chief. Nevermind Obama lost 100% in facts and details, that has never mattered to libs.
Romney should have interupted just like Obama kept doing and ended that one....he just looked weak as the President put him down and raised himself above the politics, all the while looking him in the eye, no matter how absurd that is.
Romney put him down well earlier and that could have been a stand out moment, but Obama managed to lie his way back.
He was weak on Obamas personal criticisms of him. His business background (responding weakly much later in the debate), his 47% comments....Libya....he had chance after chance to score knock out blows and he didn’t.
That said the format was extremely hostile to him, Obama seemed to get the last word every time and the questioning from the ‘audience’ was questionable......Romney will do better in the last debate and hopefully land some bigger blows.

crawl-ee also said that Paul Ryan was a Romney “death wish”. What do you expect from a corrupt fat arsed whore for satan?

Drug induced trembling. Those drugs that are supposed to temporarily increase intelligence and concentration have side effects.

All excellent points, but Romney does superbly thinking on his feet.
Valid point. I just hope the folks at home realize the moderators are in the tank for the Marxist.
Do the folks at home, realize the moderators are in the tank for the Marxist?
If they didn't, Crawley's "fact check" error will certainly make it clear. I sense a short commercial coming out of that one just to inform the public.
No, then he has two whole months until he has to leave in January, where he has nothing left to lose.
“Do the folks at home, realize the moderators are in the tank for the Marxist?”
This stump jumper does.
Overlooked is the fact that Romney put an exclamation point on obama’s Libya lie when he said, “You are saying this FOR THE RECORD?”
After that, when obama and crowley doubled down, all they succeeded in doing was to compound the lie. It is on tape. They can’t take it back. And it WILL come back to bite both of them huge.
