"When I went to Israel I didn't take donors. I didn't attend fundraisers."

Just watched that again. President Obama was PISSED at that little swipe from Mitt, and he backed his smarmy ass down on it. And he should have. It hasn't come up much yet but it was a sterling moment.

1. It really was a night full of sterling moments

for Obama. He landed so many punches, it was hard to keep track.

[JDPriestly]

2. Obama pointed out that he focused on the reason Israel exists when he visited that country.

The evil that targets Jews.

3. I heard something elsewhere about Mitt spending his entire trip..

....in the King David Hotel there.

4. He was probably trying to buy it so he could call it the King Willard

[Tagart Wales]

6. Who is...

King Willard?? Is he some kind of Mormon prophet or something?

[Angry Dragon]

7. Willard Mitt Romney

5. I really noticed that moment as well

especially what he said just before that - that when he was a Candidate his first trip was to visit the troops..and when he said he made a point to visit 'a specific place he named' (I forget the name) because he wanted to get a first hand feeling for what pure evil looks like.

That speaks LOUDLY about President Obama's character. He is the total package, and he can sing.

12. Obama went to Yad Vashem?

I can't tell you how much that means to me.

15. Thank you. Although "enjoy" is probably not the word.

My mom's been. I'm undertravelled.

Little white hat looks good on him

10. I might be hormonal or it might have been the merlot

but when he talked about meeting that girl who was 4 on 9/11, I got straight weepy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. That attack drew blood, as it should.

I was so proud of him!

[StarryNite]

14. Yes, it was a great moment!

Job well done Mr. President!
