Yes, depressing. Just trying to keep morale up.
Marcello is spot on with 'Obama is performing like United at Anfield'.
This is like Romney vs Perry again!
It won't matter though.

This is like watching United at Wembley in 2011. Except it's Mitt who is Barcelona.
Too much rambling from Barack. Mitt maybe talking bollocks but he "looks" like he's doing better.

The only explanation I can give is that Obama is taking the "act like a presidential" cue too seriously. He doesn't want to appear petty and attack the opponent too directly.
Our support is terrible though. Too busy eating prawn sandwiches, I guess.
Y'know what Steve, I probably would too.
If you had no idea of the facts. Which unfortunately most don't. Nor do they really care.
Bill would've played the saxophone by now.
Jim Lehrer just needs to be taken out back like Old Yeller. Poor guy
I mean healthcare and private providers should just be a stroll for any liberal, really disappointed with Obama on this.
Yeah an alien from space would probably judge that Romney's done better in the debate. His 'zingers' have been well deployed and quite effective.
Hopefully it doesn't matter too much. Depends on the media narrative I suppose.

Someone put the mod out of his misery.
Reagan!
Reagan!
Romney must respond to that
I took that to be what he meant by blind.
Worse, he's making Barack seem old, hesitant and dull. I am going to cry.
That's where Obama really started getting on track and attacking Romney. He didn't really finish after building up a head of steam.
Has every question so far been: "is there a difference between you in this area?"?
Everybody drink!
You have Reagan, I raise you Lincoln.
This is fecking brutal. It's not an easy question but still.
And he's actually reflecting on what he's saying. He's thinking and talking.
Romney's just performing like a show horse.
Personally, I'm cynical enough to think it will benefit Romney's campaign, but hopefully I'm wrong.
Lehrer has allowed Romney to overrun him on several occasions. That won't happen with Candy Crowley -
Nick Clegg would beat both of these in a debate.
"I love great schools"
Wow!
Wow!
The ol' GOP banter about military and religion. Sigh.
Romney mentioned God, he just lost the reddit vote.
Military and religion... Slipping up!
He sees your Lincoln and raises you God.
God doesn't count. He lives on Planet Kolob, at least in Mitt's view. That'd be voter fraud.
"I love the army, I won't cut it even though I'll cut everything else" - CNN trend lines go up.
"We're all created by the same God, so don't question my batshit crazy one" - CNN trend lines go up.
Depressing.
I know it'd feck up his chances but I wish Barry would just say "Kolob, really?"

The one on Planet Kolob does not count!
Judging by this performance, a naive person would find it hard to believe that Mitt & his people have such loathsome priorities and opinions.
Just wait till B Rock brings out Allah...Ooooh shit!
23 million unemployed - false - it's roughly 13 million. It's not simply the % x population. How does the GOP get away with this I don't understand.
Hopefully.
That was horrible.
Do you agree?
What do you guys disagree on?
What the feck? Can someone send Lehrer a link to their respective platforms so that we can move on from that?

His weakest answer so far, but that was the hardest question probably.
What subject are we actually on here? It's getting harder to tell.
Why doesn't Obama correct him though? He's barely corrected Romney tonight despite Romney saying several things that can be destroyed in one line. Unbelievable.
