  The next to last picture: Obama (hands on Romney’s arms) – You silly boy. Romney (hands crossed in front of himself) – Don’t treat me like an underling.

You missed the best one! I saw one still photo with Obama in the foreground, in focus, with Crowley in the background out of focus. She is clasping her hands together in mesmerized adoration, with a wistful smile, as she gazes at her Chosen One.

I still can’t tell the difference between the two of them. It’s like listening to chlamydia fight with gonorrhea. Out of curiosity, are there any actual conservatives running this election season or is RINOmney all we could come up with? You know, the mormon struggling to tie the worst president in history in the polls? Seriously, ‘ol RINO is barely keeping up with a muslim named Houssein who has run gas up to $5 a gallon, has 3 aliases, a fake social security number, spent $2M hiding his college records, destroyed the dollar, ruined your children’s futures, raised taxes more than any president in history yet still managed to bury us in debt, burned the constitution and has a wife so ugly she makes Barbara Bush look like a pin-up model? The GOP couldn’t find a guy to beat that? Jeesh!

FYI – Romney is going to lose. Lie to yourselves all you want but come election day, between running a RINO and the way the GOP treated the Paul people, it’s going to hand the White House back to the Manchurian Candidate. My condolences to all of us.

  Remember when people had coherent thoughts and could form complete sentences? I sure miss those days. It’s getting harder and harder to argue with crazy people when you can’t understand them.

  me thought O’s ‘Big Bird’ comment was going to devolve into a ‘rap session,’ with Romney going after him for telling him his Papa was a Smurf —->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyngFurWy14

Moochelle and Ann both showed up wearing the same color.
Were they wearing pink in honor of breast cancer awareness month?

Great stuff and it made me feel better. Romney has to win and it appears the undecided were moved by his debate performance.

Watching this debate with my thirteen year old daughter…Obama starts out by saying he was raised by a single mother…my daughter says to me…that’s not true…he lived with his grandparents in hawaii…he went to boarding school in indonesia…didn’t he even live with his dads family for awhile..I looked at her and said…ya..he’s pretty much starting out with a lie…she kept commenting on how rude he was to the other guy and how polite Romney was… the truth doesn’t have to be bullied…God bless America!

  If I remember correctly he was raised by his birth mother before he went to live with his grandparents in HI. I think he was 4 at the time maybe?

  It was outrageous to see how Obama and Candy ganged up on Romney. When it comes to Obama, they have to help him because he is the empty chair. Except that an empty chair can’t hurt the economy. Hillary took the fall for him yesterday on Libya and today Candy pulls him through the debate. She made sure that Romney was not able to defend himself against the Obama accusations.
  Candy was on a mission to help her guy. This was rude all the way. A 13 year old was able to see through all the hype. Why do we agree to these moderators who are so biased?

  He was raised by his grandparents, after his mom & dad abandoned him (= lots of issues). In addition, he keeps trying to refer to his grandma as being some lowly secretary, at some lowly local bank, who rose up (after she’d been thrown under the bus) as the VP of said bank, but hit some kind of “glass ceiling” because she was a woman, and also had some kind of avaris for non-white folk while working in a place that’s overwhelmingly non-white: Point being that the “local” bank he refers to is the Bank of HI which does business all over the Pacific rim, including with Hong Kong/China, Japan, Indonesia, Phillipines, etc…, and being “afraid” of folks of a different color in HI is just stupid… = B0 lies about EVERYthing. And just want to reiterate that he went to THE most prestigious private school in HI, via a so-called scholarship (=free), and spent much of that time smoking pot and snorting coke….and, now, he’s ruining – running – our country and our lives…

  Mauijohnny…everything with Obama is cloaked in some kind of secrecy…in my opinion…We have never known a president quite like this…when we do learn something about him….we have to wonder whether its true or not…so many lies
  Giver…I wish the empty chair was leading the country…at least we would know where that chair is coming from…nowhere…obama…not so much :(

I never heard the answer to the gentleman’s question: Who denied the ambassador’s request for more security? All I heard was Obama’s lonnnnnnnnnng story. Romney did interpret that as an admission of guilt.

What a mess to watch. I wish we had another choice. Romney should have gone after Obama more. Obama is just a piece of work and such a deceiver. The undecided will not know who to believe and everything is at a standstill. Candy was so much in Obama’s corner it was disgraceful. It was also disgraceful that the Republicans agreed to a debate under such rules. At times I felt it was two against one.

Candy Crowley – and all morbidly obese women – should be shipped off to a labor camp. Even though Obama was much less lethargic than his last debate, I would say he lost this one, too. When they go toe-to-toe with each other, it’s like watching Rocky IV where Mitt is portrayed as the white Russian, while Obama is portrayed as Apollo Creed, who gets killed in that movie.

Four to six years ago Obama used to be able to win some debates because no one knew him and he had no record. Now that he’s been in office for a term, he’s got a criminal rap sheet longer than his healthcare reform bill.

The one picture of Candy Crowley says it all..she opened her mouth; to appear we was the most important person in the room.
She should be embarrassed as should CNN..it was an epic fail; Jim Leher stood head and shoulders above Crowley
The woman should be glad if she has a job tomorrow

Sadly, this debate was nothing more than a mediocre Frosh community college debate with prep from their respective Psych 101 profs.
