Candy Crowley, wow the worst moderator of a debate I’ve seen in many many years.

Interesting comment. I suspect it has to do more with her stating the President did call Libya an act of terror. I think she did a pretty good job of not letting either one talk over her and making sure people got to ask their questions.

I’m running behind on DVR, and just watched it.

He said it was good for both, Obama did better than the first. He said he gaive Obama a slight edge on points, but that Obama was “lost at sea” on Libya.

I didn’t hear “Obama won”.

We’re still talking about Obama’s clinging to guns, Bible and religion comment 4 years after he made the comment so that has not left him. Most politcians, and non politcians make a stupid comment and regret. Romney said what he wsaid was wrong in regards to the 47%. I do not think Obama has retracted or apologised for his 'clinging comment and neither his ‘You didn’t build that’ comment

Romney said what he really felt. He only apologized because he got exposed. That IMO does not a true apology make.

Yes. It got applause when Candi Crowley lied about Obama calling the Libya attack a “terrorist act,” and it got applause a second time, when Candi Crowley correctly stated that it took 2 weeks for the administration to admit that it wasn’t due to a demonstration over a video. So, is it that Obama lie you are referring to?

Yes.
Memorable, wasn’t it.

Days from now, when all of the dialogue is forgotten, this will be remembered.

Keep watching…and let’s not parse words…edge on points = Win

Romney kept bringing up past pledges from Obama’ immigration reform in his first term; cutting the deficit by 1/2 etc. It was effective at showing a failed presidency

Or then there’s this one:

I just wish Romney wasn’t such a blasted lib, so I could get fully behind him. (Compared to Obama, that’s another issue altogether…)

Did Obama retract or apologise for his 'clinging comment after the video was exposed? Or when there was outrage about his ‘You didn’t build it’ comment? At least Romney can admit when he knew he said something incorrectly

Didn’t Romney do the same thing last time? 🤷

Hmmm…pretty sure it was Obama then too. 😃 But seriously, he was arguing when I tuned in. Just stating a fact.

I apparently wasn’t the only person who thought he was obnoxious. The focus groups made up of women thought so too. 🤷 Maybe it’s just a female thing.

Very true.

Romney has been campaigning almost non-stop for two years. During that time he has flip-flopped on positions many times, and has tried to tailor his message to whichever group he was speaking to at the time. However, in Romney’s comments about 47%, he was unfiltered and was in many ways was revealing the true essence of his character, and it is not a flattering picture.

Of course! That was Romney in essence: an entitled arrogant rich man. He didn’t even have to make such a statement to that crowd. He said it because he meant it.

You keep bringing up Obama’s comment but that does **NOT **negate what Romney said or did. Thank you.
