Oh man, the website is really dodgy tonight.
I don’t think Romney hammered Obama enough tonight. Plenty of opportunities to make Obama’s face go red and taught, but he didn’t take them.
All he has to do is say the two magic words, “you’re lying,” and he’ll destroy Obama.
and he’d lose the debate. Those two words would be all anyone would talk about, and wipe away any gains Romney has had in likeability.
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.
