Obama surely didn't call out Mittens on his lies tonight. As Mitt's lies grow greater in number maybe there will be too many lies to rebut in too little time.. Letting Mittens get away with flip flopping on his own tax plans. Get with it Mr President. Next time get into attack mode.

If one were to replay the entire debate, you can seen when Romney was lying by looking at President Obama's expressions.

It may have been unintentional - some of Romney's statements were pretty blatant.

I just hope he follows through. This isn't a time in history where we need nice and passive as champions for the common good. He has to FIGHT.

He lies so much that I doubt that Rpmney himself even know what he believes.

Frankly, IMO, anyone who was impressed by that blustery pack of lies, I'd wonder about.

I was having the same thoughts half-way through the debate. Giving Romney enough 'rope' to hang himself with ... but I kept quiet ... as did our President during the debate. Time will tell. Thanks for the thread.

We're in this together. We can't jump all over the President because he didn't deliver knockout punches. We're behind him and frankly I'm surprised about how Matthews and Schultz went so ballistic.

I know they were disappointed but, shoot-- sometimes people have an "off" night.
