So now we have to make them treat women well, convince them to care about secular education, and reach them business development? Wow.

He wants to treat foreign women specially, but his domestic policy for women is to just improve the economy generally?

Obama attacking

 

[Premier]

Can we talk about the economy........please....

Uh, not tonight. Foreign policy only.

 

[Jojo the circus boy]

0bama sounding whiny

 

[Otis]

1980's called

 

[Otis]

Ohh. Mitt upset about "attacking me."

 

[Willie Neslon]

@mrsneslon bob sheeter reminds me of andy griffith

 

[Zegras11]

Don't forget putting them in binders.

 

[KiddLattimer]

Good line on the "flexibility after the election"

 

[Run It Up]

The 1980s called and want their foreign policy back.

 

[MaxThreshold]

Can't watch debate: How is it looking for Romney? Only conservative need reply. I know what to expect from the progressives.

 

[Otis]

Wheels coming off this thing fast.

 

[Slapdash]

Tonight, this is the only way the world will hear discussion on the NDAA bill that allows Americans to be detained illegally.

It's a Twitter bomb. #StopNDAA. The hashtag is trending already.

Ah ok. I'm not up on the Twitter.

I do get the feeling the guys like each other and are doing this because they have to.

 

[dparker713]

When they're both calling each otehr liars, why doesn't the moderator step in. Why else have a news person moderate?

 

[pittstownkiller]

The 1980s called, asking for their foreign policy back!

Classic.

I personally felt it was a rather canned response, to the comprehensive response that Romney gave Schieffer.

 

[ArbyMelt]

that effort can't help Lohse on free agent market next year.

 

[Otis]

Prez going out of his way several times to say "Governor, I know you've never had to act as commander in chief and make these decisions, but..."

Prez being aggressive and taking control in the first session.

 

[Boston]

Whenever I hear Obama talk in these debates I wonder if he understands that he is the incumbent and has a record...

 

[Otis]

This could get explosive. Lots of physical play early on here.

 

[pittstownkiller]

I see what you have done here.

Not a very presidential response

He looks dapper. Flag pin is on nice and straight.

Not a conservative, but not a progressive either, and I am voting for Mitt. So far, it's not looking good. Obama is controlling the discussion. Mitt looked visibly upset at being attacked, the way he did against Newt Gingrich a few times. He looks petulant, which is not good for him. But it's early.

Romney is where Obama was 4 years ago. The presidential experience gives Obama a huge advantage in this debate.

 

[biggamer3]

Obama using Israel alot, he has been horrible to Israel

 

[jon_mx]

How many voters have a clue on any of the people they are referring to?

 

[Otis]

This one is sort of unfair. Obama has been dealing with this stuff in real life for 4 years. Mitt basically studied for this in a textbook. And it shows.

His flag pin is bigger, so he should win, but its also got something in the middle of it, so that might give him a zero in the category. Whats the ruling here?

Neither side too impressive but mostly because the topic isnt as crucial as the 1st debate.Obame tried to pull a Biden and cut in and got shut down. Just not as high priority as the economy so the tone much more controlled.

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

I am voting for Mitt.

lol

 

[Otis]

Agreed.

Any 4 years where we don't pull support from Israel means the President has not been horrible to Israel.

But how many voters were really waiting until tonight to base their vote on foreign policy? He just needs to not be a moron and threaten to blow up the middle east.

 

[HellToupee]

poor tie choice by Obama

Seems like he's going out of his way to say he's not "the war guy"... so far so good

I like what Obama did with Libya. If it was GWB we would have lost thousands of Americans getting Gaddafi out of there.

 

[dparker713]

Think you can tell whether they're trying to fire up the base or reach across the aisle by the color of their ties?

 

[Andy Dufresne]

This would be better if they were standing. The dynamic is wrong for the topic.

that's all you got?his aggression is in his stare

 

[The Commish]

I'll never understand why the candidate NOT the president agreeing to a debate like this. There's no way to win. I can't imagine he has CLOSE to the details about foreign countries like the president does, right?

Hey some of us are taping the games

 

[biggamer3]

Fox news and msnbc focus on each person talking, cnn does it right with camera split constantly on both

 

[Beerguzzler]

Obama is wiping the floor with Romney so far. It's not even fair.

 

[identikit]

Very true.

Yeah, can't imagine what independent voters who are bored about regular debates are doing. Probably watching football and baseball.
