Presidential Debate Reaction Post

Feel free to live blog the debate here!

Also...what time is it supposed to start? 9:00 EST/6:00 PST? I have to run to the store on my way home (leaving now) and I'm afraid I'm going to miss it this round! D:

"Make sure they've got a free-market system that works."

Wait. Obama is pro-capitalism now? ...That's weird.

But heaven forbid any American companies have any business operations "off-shore"!!!

"This nation... me"

Yeah, that about sums up Obama's attitude lately... *groan*

What's the old quote, "L'etat, c'est moi"?

And now Obama's talking about making China "play by the rules?" He stole Romney's talking point! Word-for-word! There's no way that won't loose him some points.

Wait, we don't have to be an adversary with China in any way, shape, or form? Sorry, Mitt, disagree with you on that one... :(

Okay, he's kind of redeeming himself on the currency and IP points... a little at least.

China is the greatest security threat, in terms of foreign countries. China's not going to play by the rules, and we cannot make them. Since they own so much of our debt, what can we do to counter-act what they're doing?

Here we go - shipping companies overseas. *gag*

In the same debate as saying that he supports a free market system overseas. Somehow I don't think he gets the irony.

I miss Denver Debate Obama. At least, he wasn't an total asshat.

Um, Mr. President, China doesn't really export all that many cars... more likely we'd be buying a lot of Japanese and Korean cars. Oh, wait, we already ARE.

OMG Obama....

1) Stop it with the "BAIN CAPITAL IS EVOL" speech. Romney hasn't been with them for a long time - and much of what they've done wasn't under Romney's leadership.
2) Stop promoting the public sector. The educational system in the US is broke because it's controlled by the public sector.
3) Green energy is not going to work if it's controlled by the public sector.
4) Detroit didn't need a bail out. The free market would've fixed itself through the correct channels!

Obama thinks Asians all look same! Obv.

And nobody knows what "pivot to Asia" means. Please clarify.

I don't care about bailouts, I want to know about Benghazi..............

Silly rabbit! Did you think this was going to be about FOREIGN POLICY? /sarc

Obama's getting testy again!

Obama is losing his cool

Romney is damaging his calm.......

(sorry, couldn't resist a Chuck reference! Adam Baldwin would die laughing)

Is it just me, or is Obama's tactic of switching to domestic issues a distraction from the fact that he has no foreign policy leg to stand on?

I was kinda wondering the same...this was supposed to be a foreign policy debate and it seems very domestic focused.

And the more he interrupts Mitt, the worse he looks.

Carol Platt Liebau:

"When Obama tries to get in Romney's face, he looks like a jerk. Romney clearly gets under his skin but he can't seem to get under Romney's."

With extra emphasis on jerk, tonight, methinks.

Obama must've noticed how many good points Romney was making, since that was his first major interruption tonight.

On the issue of Mitt's notepad, if nothing else it's a great tool to keep from staring at Obama and having to keep a poker face.

Yeah, Obama's poker face is really creepy.

From Jonah Goldberg:

"When Obama said "you've been going on for a while" Romney was still behind on time."

Jerk.

I do think the moderator did well.

He wasn't Obama's tag team player. Either that or he was surreptitiously watching Monday Night Football.

The mod ties it up with "we all love teachers." LOL

Obama's closing: Romney is a jerk, I'm awesome, THE END.

LOL

Obama's closing statement: sweeping generalities, lofty goals, nothing specific except raising taxes on "the rich." NEXT~!!
