Romney’s winning, but he said two things that are going to haunt him: “I’ll cut Sesame Street”, and “If there was a tax break for sending plants overseas, I would know about it.”
Romney almost fucked up by saying that people unable to take care of themselves “need to be taken care of by .upbupbup cared for by …bupupkup others to care for them.” Almost said that government needs to provide for them.
Complete mystery why Obama didn’t say: “You don’t cut the deficit by killing Big Bird. You cut the deficit by a serious and balanced approach…blah blah.”
Didn’t last… RedFury describes well the projection issue. McCain really was a wounded adversary at this time 4 years ago, Romney is merely slightly behind.
Ooohh, Romney’s got that Smirky McSmirkson look on him. I’d watch that if I were him.
“Do you agree, Governor?”
“Oh yeah” “Yeah” “We agree.” “We agree” “Yeah.”
It seemed to me he was saying they need to be taken care of by churches and private charities rather than by government.

Obama is actually terrific on TV – but not during debates. His schtick is “Let’s consider both sides… let’s be reasonable.” It works pretty well. But not in a debate.
Whether the Obama campaign can leverage Romney’s comments later on is something we’ll have to see.
Oooo! Zinger! “Mr President, You’re entitled to your own plane but not your own facts.”
Sheesh.
Obama kind of stares at his lectern while Romney is talking, which probably turns off just as many voters.
HA! Not entitled to your own facts! Only ROMNEY is entitled to his own facts, and to the last word!
Thanks.
Well, Mitt finally got one of his canned zingers in. Klunk.
Oooh, zinger! “You’re not entitled to your own facts.”
AGAIN Romney gets the last word. It’s pissing me off, but it should piss Obama off that he allowed it to happen so often.
Romney: “On day one - actually the day after I get elected”
He got in the “you don’t just pick winners and losers; you pick losers” line earlier. It sounded as canned and planned as cranberry dressing.
Can we all agree whoever’s in charge we WILL fire Jim Lehrer anyway? At least from this moderator gig?
I don’t believe a word Romney is saying. He’s all squeaky-clean, gosh-darn it, the answers are so obvious and I can do this and it’ll be easy. Grrr.
Good Obama zinger, and seemingly off the cuff.
