3. President Obama has already gotten

his first digs in..."Let Detroit Go Bankrupt," and "in this country!"

GOBAMA!!

[magical thyme]

11. Good!

Don't be nervous, Prez. Just hit him over and over.

[marlakay]

4. So far Romney sounds smooth

And positive...Obama sounds nervous...I hope he settles down.

[juajen]

81. Not so. He has been great!

[amborin]

6. wish Obama said R wants to cut Pell Grants

[animalcrackers]

7. Here comes the 5 point plan, 12million job talking point

but notice no actual policy statements?

[morrissey fan]

8. Obama sounds 1 million times better than 2 weeks ago!

YES!!

[genna]

14. His eyes are present and his body language is much better

He is already done the 'that's not true' answering he needs to do.

[progressivebydesign]

62. I believe Al Gore was right.. Altitude in Denver. The President was not prepared for it. nt

[MotherPetrie]

9. Fired up and ready to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[theKed]

10. Wow

She really pushed back hard to smack Romney's rebuttal down

[MotherPetrie]

13. He was so disrespectful

[theKed]

15. Right?

First question 'fuck the rules'.

[aquart]

23. Romney does not like uppity women.

[avaistheone1]

56. Crowley controlled Romney first time round tonite.

Second time Romney had to show he is above the rules; romney was rude.

[magical thyme]

16. What? Did Candy do her job? (not watching. nt)

[MotherPetrie]

20. Romney jumped in after Obama's response when it was Candy's turn to talk

[MassedPole]

12. Why does Romeny insist he wanna ruin the debate format?

[magical thyme]

21. Romneys being an asshole again?!? Already?!? nt

[MotherPetrie]

17. Romney sounds nervous

[magical thyme]

25. Good! If Candy doesn't let him run her over, he loses his advantage.

He's not gonna like that!

[RBInMaine]

18. He's doing very well. GOBAMA. KEEP IT UP !

[theKed]

19. Watching on the Washington Post live stream

And I definitely enjoy the agree/disagree live metric on the right side, especially watching it swing down when Romney opens his mouth.

[hamsterjill]

22. Romney appears arrogant to me.

Not likable.

[Onlooker]

24. "Very little of what Governor Romney said is true!"

LOL

[theKed]

26. The knives are out tonight

29. Romney on defensive now

[yeswecanandwedid]

30. THIS IS AWESOME!!! NT

[MassedPole]

31. Kick his ass Obama.

Keep fighting back Obama.

[theKed]

32. Wow

Romney is looking terrible. Pushy and arrogant.

Obama "I'll give you your time" ... nice.

[animalcrackers]

33. What Obama said on the oil leases of land is exactly true

As someone who works in the oil and gas industry it is common practice. They hold the land in hopes that surveying shows a good reserve, or to wait for good market conditions to drill

[MotherPetrie]

34. OHH SNAP!!!!!!!!!

[theKed]

35. I wish Romney would lay off that Canadian Pipe

The only people who want that pipeline installed in canada are oil companies and the federal conservative party. The people strongly do not want it.

[Onlooker]

36. This is fun!!!!!!

[MassedPole]

37. God Romeny wants to fight with the Moderator.

[aquart]

38. Romney is RUDE!

[animalcrackers]

39. Here comes EEEErrrangrry MIT!

[theKed]

40. Strongarming the moderator

to try to get rebuttal time doesn't provide great optics. Just sayin'

[hamsterjill]

45. Crowley needs to get control!

[RBInMaine]

41. Obama AINT TAKIN NO FUCKING SHIT FROM THE MITT TWIT ! HE'S KICKIN ASS !

[yeswecanandwedid]

42. I want this!

[MassedPole]

43. If he does that 1 more time. Ill find a way there in 5 mins and cut his damn mic off.

[SoapBox]

44. GAWD! Shut the FUCK up Mittens.

Oooooo, I HATE him.

[MotherPetrie]

46. Fave moment so far:Obama telling this lady "You're doing great" when she forgot part of her question

[Blaukraut]

47. Here comes the bucket list n/t

[moobu2]

48. Wow Romney is such a smooth liar.

[MotherPetrie]

49. Aww how nice -- I won't have to pay taxes on my interest, dividends, and capital gains!

[animalcrackers]

50. "Particularly for high income earners" on eliminating tax deductions - Romeny

And the capital gains tax really only applies to the top - wtf

[aquart]

54. Yup. Lying his ass off.

[theKed]

57. If the top earners

are still going to pay 60% of the taxes, and the middle and lower classes are paying less, doesn't that mean there's going to be a serious tax cut for the top 5%? Tell the truth, Mitt.

[MassedPole]

51. Good its about taxes. Obama is going to have some fun with this one.

[RBInMaine]

61. Yup and KABOOM ! Obama just SUPERGLUED another of Mitt Twit's LIES to him !! OH YA !!

[aquart]

52. oH, WHAT DELIBERATELY SCREWED NUMBERS.

No taxes on investments. SON OF A POLYGAMOUS PIG! That doesn't do squat for middle.

[moobu2]

53. It was just a bunch of double talk. nothing.

[Justice]

55. no taxes on investments for people earning less than $250,000 - means nothing!!!

[Onlooker]

58. I think Obama sounds really sharp. It's pretty awesome so far.

[theKed]

59. Ooo the small business fallacies

Lay him out, Obama!

[Justice]

60. Obama is doing well. Very strong.

[animalcrackers]

63. the 54% buisness argument

totally false, only 5% of those "small busnesses" will be effected and they are the hedge funds and large single person corporations (my 5% figure may be off a bit).

[theKed]

64. nt

[MotherPetrie]

65. BIG BIRD and PLANNED PARENTHOOD!

[MassedPole]

66. OOO SNAP Obama mentioned Big Bird HELL YEA

[MotherPetrie]

67. Please Romney, mention your mythical 6 studies

[RBInMaine]

68. Obama's wiping the freaking floor with the Mitt Twit !

[theKed]

Stammering a response
Weak statements in response

[MotherPetrie]

74. What a BULLSHIT answer

[theKed]

75. I highly doubt

That Mittens went much out of his way to even look at a woman's resume (except for "housekeeper&quot

[animalcrackers]

76. Is Mitt going to the affirmative action agrument on women? lol

[yeswecanandwedid]

[MassedPole]

[ladym55]

82. wooot

[hamsterjill]

83. Okay, Crowley is starting to piss me off!

She needs to shut Romney up when his time is up.

[MotherPetrie]

85. She does, but it makes him look like a bully, too

[hamsterjill]

86. I hope so!!

[MotherPetrie]

84. Be still my heart!!!!!!!!!

[groundloop]

87. what? what? I'm not where I can watch...

Obama should have a field day responding to this one with some of the stuff Romney's said.
