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:

I can hear Bret Baher in another booth on the C-SPAN feed.

I am already in bed (long day) however, it will be interesting to read how the debate goes!!!!

...Actually, I can hear a bunch of other reporters in other booths on the C-SPAN feed.

Hi, all! And here we go!

[identity profile] sreya.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
I've already downed half a drink in preparation. Hi-o!

[identity profile] pat-t.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Here we go - Libya

[identity profile] kelincihutan.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Libya is the first question? Wow. NEVER SAW THAT ONE COMING!!!

[identity profile] pat-t.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Damn, why do they spend so much time thanking people instead of giving their points?

[identity profile] muses-circle.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Evening everyone!

Whoa, first question's about the Middle East.

I know it was a coin-toss, but it's so weird for this question to get Romney responding first.

[identity profile] kelincihutan.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Obama's poker face is going to make me crack up in a minute. It's a lot less annoying than Biden's laugh-at-everything strategy, but I don't think he made one single expression the whole time Romney answered that.

Same old BS, Barrack

[identity profile] muses-circle.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
24 seconds in, and Obama's lying about his foreign policy. Shocking...not.

[identity profile] sreya.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Dangerous drinking game - a shot every time Obama says "I".

[identity profile] dark-weezing.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
On the plus side, better Romney get the Bin Laden football spiking out of the way before we go further.

I almost expect Obama to put Bin Laden's skull on the desk.

Wait a minute, wasn't this the same administration that said the attack in Libya was the result of a "spontaneous protest"? Now there are people gathering in the streets saying we're their friends? What?

[identity profile] kelincihutan.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
We'd all die of cirrhosis before the end of the night.

[identity profile] muses-circle.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
We'll all be drunk in the next 5 minutes, lol.

[identity profile] sreya.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Cold War may be over, but Russia seems pretty active in helping give our other enemies a leg up and blocking action in the Security Council...

[identity profile] muses-circle.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
... and Romney's been interrupted so Obama can respond.

[identity profile] gratuitous-love.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
I think we'd just up and vaporize after 50 seconds.

[identity profile] dark-weezing.livejournal.com 2012-10-23 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
On the plus side, nice to know Obama thinks the policies of the 80's, 50's and 20's are wrong. "It's wrong!!!"

And Obama acting confident... er. Whee?

Wait, ROMNEY was sending mixed messages to our troops? Funny, didn't think he was the one delivering the messages lately...

*sigh* I gotta say he's not coming out well on this question. Hope he pulls it together better as we continue.
