Romney is speaking well. Obama is stumbling.

Agreed.

Obama just seems to be rambling and dull, while Romney is coherent and interesting. I don't have to rivet my attention on Romney to totally get what he's saying.

With Obama, I have to listen extremely carefully, or I quickly get lost, as to what point he's trying to make. The guy is just all over the place.

There is no way Obama got the test questions in advance. He looks thoroughly unprepared. Guess Kerry didn’t challenge him enough! LOL The government question has him rambling everywhere incoherently. He misses TOTUS.

Obama said the first priority of the President is to keep Americans safe. How’s that working out for you Bambi?

” the first role of Federal Government is to keep the people safe “

How’d that work out for our Ambassador , the 2 former Navy SEALs and the former USAF airman in Libya ?

At YOUR ORDER (Obama ) good security coverage was denied to the Libya mission .
How about the super ultra restrictive ROS you have put in place on our troops in Afghanistan ?
They can barely get air cover if called for at this point .
Safe? my ass

Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debates So far this is a decisive Romney win. He got rid of the compassion gap. Romney is more charismatic. Obama seems too laid back

When Romney hits him with hard numbers 0bama does multiple HARD jaw clenches.

0bama now smiling, nodding and jaw clenching AT THE SAME TIME.

Paging O'Reilly's body language expert, Paging O'Reilly's body language expert.

Bumbling through answers. Talking but saying virtually nothing.

Look how well Obama did even though he was preoccupied with ...

"Just got home, can anybody give me a brief summary of any of the big moments I might’ve missed?"

I'm happy to report that there are way too many to list, you have to watch the re-run!

Obama hasn't been talked to like this in years, if ever - he has been getting his clock cleaned from the start!

Mitt is no McCain

Romney missed an opportunity to go after Obama For his idiotic statement about how a person going to the doctor should not get unnecessary tests done..get 1 test instead of 11 tests..that is idiotic sometimes you need multiple tests to get the right diagnosis

He’s completely incoherent and a bore. It’s torture to hear him. Mitt is wiping the floor with him.
