Your comment is extremely rude.
The fact is that although our pundits value the intensity which with you emote at a debate, content should count too. The President did counter many lies - he refuted the 20% tax cut/deductions issue at least 3 times. Given that Romney was saying "that's not my plan", dropping it and expecting his team to provide instant video of 4 or 5 times he said it and a screen capture of it in his plan on his web site as he spoke is a reasonable expectation. Do you seriously think that litigating it further ending up arguing "It is"/"It isn't" - where the truth could not be proven on stage- would make Obama look better?
Where the criticism was more real, it was that he looked tired and distracted and not enthusiastic.
