George Will declares Obama winner of night, says this was best presidential debate he's ever seen

Can't believe I'm agreeing with him...

When asked who won the debate, Will responded: “I think there was a winner in the sense that Barack Obama not only gained ground he lost but he cauterized some wounds that he inflicted on himself by seeming too diffident and disengaged.”

“It was a very good fight,” he added. “I have seen every presidential debate in American history since the floor of Nixon and Kennedy in 1960. This was immeasurably the best.”

“I think as a tactical measure tonight, the president did very well,” he concluded.

noting Obama brilliantly held back on using the '47 percent' play until just the point (closing statements) where he knew Romney couldn't try to talk his way out of it and attempt to ease the sting.

comment was coming..knowing how he'd respond with his stupid vapid 100% comback?

The "47%" that he was caught Dissing on tape in Boca Raton. Bet he wishes he'd kept his big yammering mouth shut on that subject.

Gotta share some love with Candy Crowley she did a remarkable job. She has been the best moderator so far.

He's come around to Mitt a bit since then, but he knows he's a terrible candidate

He still made him eat white dog shit for last week. (47%)

Sigh and every one on this board is going to be saying shit like:

"blah blah blah "umpteendementional(everyone knows it's rope a dope) chess" hahaha, blah blah blah the president is gonna lose. blah blah blah."

But you people have to realize the man is FUCKING INTELLIGENT.

Beyond you or me, or anyone. They dude is up there. He knows what he's doing.

The O machine wins. it hasn't stopped since '07. it's eviscerating the GOP.

--Also, Obama gave the bastard enough rope to hang himself over the last 2 weeks. A lot of people were too dumb to understand this. Understand, by such a low performance oo.. when ever.. Wednesday, 1st debate. He only had up to go. Where by, in comparison, Mitt only had down. The dood blew is load on the first debate. Looked like a CEO telling America it's just been liquidated.

"Sorry America, we needed to tighten our belts, so I fired everything, and took the savings to investments with a bank in Bern."
--Mitt Romney future CEO of America.
