Really? I thought it's the kind of line that sounds good to the RW echo chamber but won't actually play well.
I think so. It's a pithy line, it sums up his line of criticism on the role of government, and it blunts accusing him of trickle-down economics.
I think he's basically wrong, but still: good line.
He was less effective on defending his tax policy, it boils down to 'if the numbers don't add up, trust me that I'll change the bit you don't like'. Obama knows it too, he's not backing down there.
'if the numbers don't add up, trust me that I'll change the bit you don't like'.
"No, they DO add up! They just do. THEY DO. Add up."
I don't think I can watch the debate. It already makes me want to punch someone, and the TV won't let me do that.
Jim Lehrer is going to throw his pen at someone's head before the night is over. My money is on Romney.
I hate even hearing Romney's voice.
No one's voice could ever, EVER nauseate me the way Dubya's voice did, so Romney has a leg up there.
He looks like an actor who plays the president, not an actual president.
I've had the debate on for maybe 5 minutes and I think that's enough. Romney's debating style is like everything I hste about talk radio.
He could use a touch more of the spray tan tonight.
Let me also just say that PBS doesn't get money from the government. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting does, and that money goes to make PBS (and other) programming, but it's not exactly the same thing.

What the hell is this, you and your facts?

I think Romney just told Jim Lehrer that he's going to fire him. He is SERIOUSLY going to get a pen in the forehead.
Romney is treated Lehrer like Lehrer is one of his employees. WTF.
I cannot even imagine.

If he gets the spin right, he could pull the two-for-one ricochet.
Anyone watching CNN? I'm not following the squiggly line at the bottom of the screen. Who is it measuring? Up for Obama, down for Romney? Just on the person who's currently speaking?
