that whole fiasco last night was a disgrace, just as the Biden debate.

Au contraire...it was Mitt's finest hour. He stood alone, one against 100, and kicked a$$. This is what he's going to face when facing the Media the next four years as President. He showed me he can more than hold his own.

You’re right. That’s why its obviously a staged interaction. She was a little too eager.

Nearly all of the audible applause came from those sitting away from the actual debate, but when FOX News' camera shot moved to a bird's-eye view it became apparent that the only applause from the participating debate audience came from first lady Michelle Obama. Mitt Romney's wife Ann was also sitting with the debate participants.

So who, besides Michelle, was doing all the clapping? The press? Was there an extra audience somewhere?

It was coming from the press, who were being served beer during the whole debate.

Rules? The Obamas don't need no stinkin' rules. They are the Rulers, doncha know.

Always said...Michelle ain't no lady. What a pitiful example of respectable behavior she is. When those two are booted out of the White House the standard for morality, decency, decorum, and class will have to be picked up from off the floor. They have lowered it so much that it's no wonder today's generation treat people with such disrespect.

The Obamas have made an art out of ridiculing. They are professionals at it. And they claim to support anti-bullying - when all they know is how to make fun of, laugh at, or criticize others.

Reporters Preparing to Cover Debate By Drinking Free Beer

http://politicker.com/2012/10/reporters-preparing-to-cover-debate-by-drinking-free-beer/

Some of the reporters covering tonight’s presidential debate at Hofstra University in Long Island may be F.W.I.–filing while intoxicated. Anheuser-Busch is apparently a sponsor of tonight’s rhetorical battle and the beer company has set up a “hospitality tent” outside the media filing center where reporters are being treated to free food, brews and souvenir glasses.

The beers being served at the debate are apparently Anheuser-Busch’s “small batch” brews. Bartenders inside the tent confirmed they were indeed quite “busy” this evening.

Along with the myth that this women is even remotely attractive, (and I know she really can’t help looking like Patrick Ewing, she was born that way) the media has tried to spin this image of the Mooch as the epitome of class and grace. Girl is just as butt-ugly on the inside as she is outside. Ugly to the core.

“No class.”

She never had it. Yetis and sasquatch have at least, a concept of it.

If you watch the video, at about the 19-20 sec moment, you can see several in the audience at the left looking to see who is clapping as Michelle ends her clapping.

We need a First Lady to be a lady again. I welcome Anne Romney as a return to Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush and Laura Bush normalcy.

Thanks for the info.

Unbelievable. The press is brazen, anymore, in their attempt to influence this election.

Yep- good catch. Second row, on the left side.

Drudge has a headline, “Reporters applaud Obama slam on Romney’s wealth.”

He had another article about the free beer that was flowing to the reporters, wondering if they were drunk during the debate.

I agree completely. Mitt was strong in the face of a pro-Obama crowd, moderator and questions. I’m not holding my nose anymore. I’m voting for Romney.
