OBama NOT ANSWERING the questions, just speechifying!

[micmac]

Mitt looks and sounds great. Obama sounds scared

[Red Steel]

Obama has now said “Uuuuuuh...” 20 times.

[matt04]

Obama seems lost.

[Andrei Bulba]

Obama rambled Romney is commanding so far. Obama is nervous.

I counted 9 drinking triggers in Obowelmovements opening statement.

[Biggirl]

Using what VP Bidden used, the term “being buried” Romney, to his advantage.

Hi! Posting has slooooooowed down....

[Jane Long]

Mitt gets a zing zap on 0.

It's the middle class who are hurting!!

[God luvs America]

Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debates He is hugging Romney on energy and taxes. He looks thoughtful but does not seem to be talking to us and Mitt is. Mitt is better

[CitizenM]

Good...Lehr just dissed Obama for rambling on other topics and not being specific to the question asked.!

Obama...aaaa, uhhh, we gotta...and then a bunch of stuff about everything but a response to Romney, which is what Lehr asked him to do.

[Signalman]

Romney is winning so far. More precise, more commanding. Looking Obama in the eye.

[Texas4ever]

I’m feeling a little better. Praying for Mitt. Be bold be strong!

[Viennacon]

Romney is doing well. He’s come out strong and Obama is scribbling. He should cut down on the hand gestures a little. That’s Obama’s schtick

[maica]

Romney says “middle income Americans” instead of “middle class.”
Subtle difference but very good!

[COUNTrecount]

Mitt very well prepared, slamming Barry’s policies.

[dead]

Romney has to stop downplaying his tax cut ideas. Cut the goddamn taxes and brag about it!

[Cato in PA]

Lost? He looks absolutely malicious.

[FaithintheRight]

“Economy Tax”!!! Go Mitt - Tell it like it is!!!
