This guy Simon takes Obama talking points and then some. I don't think this professor of art history is someone who could understand what Romney said, so instead of trying to understand he just calls Romney a liar.

Yeah, yada, yada, Romney lied. That's all you've got? Well, that line/lyin' ain't working any more, Professor. To the willfully blind people like you, inconvenient truths are lies. How sad to be so self-delusional.

Simon Schama is a solid Brit lefty historian. He should stick to his profession.

This is the Liberal Plantation media and they are not happy with Obama.

Too late for more lies from the left.

Even Angria Mitchell couldn't find any lies to reject from Gov. Romney.

she was forced to resort to demanding Sununu take back his 'lazy' comment about her messiah.

Obama didn't suddenly "throw it all away" during the debate. He's been throwing it all away for 4 long years and millions of people are finally getting a glimpse of the real person behind the carefully-crafted media facade.

Let's suppose that Romney was better practiced and better prepared, etc., that Obama and that is why he won the debate. What does that say about the candidates? Just what John Sununu told Andrea Mitchell: Obama is lazy and detached and Romney is engaged. It's time for Obama to go.

Axelgrease has announced to the media that the new strategery is to call Romney & Ryan liars. So far they've all dutifully fallen in line. Being called a liar by the party of liars? Doesn't that negate the charge?

To charge someone with a lie, he must define exactly what lie was told and where the source of that's being a lie is . . . the Rats do nothing but accuse, not details. That's the left lying.

I've been laboring under the delusion for a long time that Obama's "handlers" have been feeding him the lines.

True, but I learned yesterday that OB, Ax, Ploufe and a few others hit on the "Romney Lies" meme that they will use from now on in the campaign. Beautiful that they telegraphed this to us and Mitt's campaign.

I can hardly wait to debate number two!

Gee Mr Perfesser, you forgot to throw in the use of the word 'boys' when you referenced the Governor's line about his sons attempts to lie to him. Think of the impact your whining could create if you could have just pushed some ,uh, race to the top of your bucket of warmed-over intellectual swill.

Not just poor analysis, but staggeringly bad writing. Enough with the Pinnochio comparison. Let's understand the professor's most basic belief, that democrats represent fairness, integrity, and competence. Where did that come from? When the books are written on the current administration, those three tenets will not be included in the titles. Rather, we will understand that the most basic belief of dems is, "whatever it takes." airness, integrity and competence be damned.

They are still making excuses for him and covering his butt. Every excuse in the book except obama is the emperor without clothes showing his naked ineptness in front of the whole world.

Ignorance is BLISS to the ignorant.

Being educated or at lease supposed to be educated does not make one intelligent.

Intelligence requires thinking critically with common sense.

This professor and I use the term lightly has neither.

Schama Wow!! It works real hard to clean up messes left by failed and stumbling presidents. Yes folks, for just $19.95 (plus S&H), you, too can have your very own Schama. And, as a special, introductory offer, if you call right now, we add a second Schama for only the cost of S&H. Two Schama Wows for the price of one!!!

If I may #6, he never had it to throw away in the first place!

The author suffers from the same plague Obama does; as an historian he spouts any theories he chooses, without real time vetting.

When Obama’s talking points were immediately and adroitly parried, he was left standing mute with no counter, because no one had ever done that to him before. in his cozy Media-shieled cocoon, the Obama storybook man had never been tempered by mano a mano debate.

While Romney did what he had practiced over years of business presentations, withdraw to a quiet place with his cadre of high-octane advisors and master his material, Obama dallied with celebrities and dawdled listlessly on his prep at a Las Vegas resort. Someone in his camp missed the old truth that you fight like you train.

And the sad fact for the Democrats is, there is no time left to train some competence into their boy. The next two Presidential Commision debates are a spectre of horror looming over pummeled president.

Projection, as usual.

Go back to writing history, Simon. Your histories are good. Your punditry is execrable.

If Romney was telling all lies, wouldn't it have been a set-up for Obie to slap him down on the spot? He is the brightest guy around, is he not? It should have been easy. Instead, he was dumbfounded.

Ya gotta laugh at the stupidity of the libtards.
For months, the Dems have been plastering the media with a false caricature of Romney--he wants to poison our water, give money to Wall Street, raise taxes on the poor, end Medicare, etc...
AND THESE IDIOTS BELIEVED THEIR OWN PROPAGANDA!
Then we have a debate where Obama can't confront Romney face-to-face with these blatant lies without being called out. And Romney systematically trashes the Dems' made-up lies about him.
And they now call Romney a liar for not living up to the lies they made about him?
Seriously, these people are a waste of oxygen.

Remember the "Bush lied, People died" meme that floated around for years. That the leftist accusers always accuse the Conservatives of doing exactly what they are doing, in spades, is a tell.
It's like the little kid yelling "Mom, Jimmy is eating cookies' to cover up that HE's eating the cookies.

He lied? Well, then, back it up by listing the "lies" he told. We're waiting....

**CRICKETS CHIRPING**

Why won't the left admit the won is nothing without his teleprompter notes written by someone else???? On the campaign trail he does the same teleprompter speech. Funny, I didn't her the left complain when Univision ask the won real questions.
