Heart pounding

I'm just terribly torn between the baseball and the football games! Do I want to watch bears & lions or tigers? I voted already this morning. I've done my part.

Maybe after this debate the ignorant people will open their eyes to obamas facist ways...

I don't know why I am more nervous about this one than the last two. My heart is pounding and I'm half expecting BS and obie to pull the hat trick.

O was giving a major "stink eye" look while Romney was talking.

The lies have begun. I can hardly bear to watch.

Keep praying. We wrestle not with flesh and blood...

This Benghazi lie has just gotten out if hand... Obummer blamed that YouTube video for TWO WEEKS which is an eternity in the media

I cannot watch.

Romney should have said obama lied to the American people plain and simple.

Condescending know-it-all

Obama will win, Russia and China will walk all over us as this clown bows to Amadidijabbadabbadoo

So is this the live debate thread or did I miss it?

Sorry, but Romney is not looking too swift so far. How did he ever come up with *Russia* has the main threat with China and Al Quaida licking their chops? Hope this gets turned around, and fast!

Obama's already starting to sputter and flame out.

Is it getting hot in here?? I smell roasting Obama!

All Live threads are being hacked on conservative sites. This and c-span.org may be the best way to watch and comment

Romney is doing fine. Answered the Russia question well.

Way to go, Mitt! I wouldn't tell the Russians that I'd be more flexible after the election! WOW

Romney's already kicking 0bama's butt.

I'm watching on C-SPAN, off computer, & one thing easy to notice. 0bama's thinks he is more ''correct'' by speaking louder than Romney. He wants to attack & lie & Romney's not having it.

Obama is acting like a bobblehead .
His head keeps shaking and his eyes are
constantly blinking.
He's really gotten nasty much earlier than expected.
Romney is the cool and collected one.
Obama is acting like a hot head.
i like that Romney brought up killing OBL first.

Russia and China are the MAJOR forces backing Iran and Syria to destabalize the Middle East. If one does not know that, one is living in a magical world. And don't forget what they do at the UN. Putin is not a "nice man". NEVER underestimate him.

Romney shouldn't give O an opening by addressing him directly. And Scheiffer needs to stop O from interrupting.

Obama is just an empty suit... He is worthless to our country in terms of leadership and forgive me but the only reason he was elected is because he's black.. We need to look past color and see beliefs and morals

I loved Romney's opening about basically changing the hearts and minds of those around the world that are vulnerable to becoming terrorists. Excellent! And nips it right in the bud, no less!

Obama is talking too long...the longer he talks the worse it is for him. I have the sound off when he speaks to watch his body language...VERY STIFF AND ANGRY, imho.

Romney is a class act... Big picture thinker. The CEO KNOWS HOW TO GOVERN.

Obama talked as if he and the US were the only ones who helped Libya get rid of Kaddafi. That's NOT the way it happened--Obama promised US help and then backed off, not returning until the fight was about over.

What Square? This guy, o is so weak

This lady is watching Monday Night Football and enjoying a glass of wine... keep posting 'cause I can't take looking at or listening to that jerk any longer.

I wish Mitt were hitting him harder. I know it's his nature to be polite, but this is a street fight. He needs to take off the gloves.

So far Obie has had far more time to talk

obie's running out the clock...

Oh so now Obama wants to teach the Arab nations how to build a nation. How can he do this when the only experience on his resume' is tearing one apart.

Obama actually said that nation-building abroad begins with nation-building at home!? What!?! Get thee to Detroit brother!

I just realized I am drinking Rascal's Wild Red premium raspberry lager. They were out of the blue - happy about that now. Mitt is hitting o hard. A strong military!

Go MITT!! America MUST lead!!!

obie stuck his nose up. he's ready to do something great (at least in his head)

Hitting o with a flurry military, economy. O is lackluster.

Mitt is doing very well! Great zingers. Defused the Bin Laden thing _before_ The Won got to trumpet it, the "flexibility" comment was introduced early, and he's slamming the Obammunist with a barrage of pure _fact_. All this while The Won's eyes are glazing over with his puny IQ attempting to keep up with a man who is a mental giant compared to him. All he can do is spout memorized off-point talking-lies. It's lovely.

"America remains the one indispensable nation".
-Barack Obama 10/22/2012

Well. Some other nations might take issue with that

Romney on Russia: well, Russia is making moves similar to those after the Bolshevik Revolution, when the Soviets wanted a beach-head in the Middle East. They've been trying to get a stronghold there for a hundred years. beach-head, strong-hold

There isn't much of a difference between Romney and BO.

EXCEPT: Romney could point out the dangerous presence of the Muslim Brotherhood, wherever the Arab uprisings have happened.

Romney must make plain that al Qaeda is regaining strength and presence. In Iraq, for one place; ergo how important it would have been to have a Status of Force agreement.

BO did NOT end the Iraq war. President Bush did. Afghanistan is a mess.

0bama just blamed President Bush for our problems in the Middle East, claiming that HIS coalition that lead US into Iraq was less that what he now has.

What a maroon.

Yes lets go back to Bush and Cheney! Mitt starting on 5 point plan!

Romney attacks the problems and Obama keeps attacking Romney.

BO is so pi$$ed. It's a bee too tee ful thing to see.

I hate how proud Obama is about importing less oil... That raises gas prices!! Importing makes it cheaper... So why would you decrease that? He's saying things opposite of what he does!

From the Telegraph blog:

2.34 (21.34) Romney is on the offensive now, saying Obama has created tension with Israel (on Iran), with Poland (on the missile shield), and abandoned the Iranian protesters in 2009.

. . . We have to stand for our principles, stand for our allies, stand for our military and stand for our economy.


02.26 (21.26) I've never heard Obama take so much credit for the intervention in Libya, reminding viewers that Gaddafi had more American blood on his hands than anyone except Osama bin Laden.

Uninstalling Obama.. █████████████▒▒▒ 90% complete.

I can't figure out why Romney hasn't asked O about the lie he and Crowley told at the last debate?

And, has anyone heard anymore about O's secret deal telling Iran that they can have nukes?

Any body language expert will tell you that excessive blinking is a sign of being nervous.
Romney looks like a calm professor and O looks like the blinking kid trying to sell the story about the dog that ate his homework.

Obama is bull*** artist for sure.

Before I forget, the split screen on 0bama off C-SPAN makes him look more & more like the Batman's ''Joker'' without the makeup. Look carefully & you'll see what I mean when he's seething with anger at Romney's answers.

Hiring more teachers may be a good thing but it does not grow the economy. It sucks up government revenue which places a greater tax burden om business.

Get real !

Obama can't take the heat -- Romney explaining how he improved education and scores in Mass., and Obama can't stop interrupting.

What a tool.

#46 - Great!
#47 - hopefully soon will hear what you want

Isn't Romney having to answer each question FIRST? Why is that

Scheiffer, so far, is acceptable, IMO.

Romney = all positive.
Obummer = all negative.

Obama is getting ready to pull a Biden. If looks could kill...

I had to stop watching it as 0bama is so ignorant and arrogant.

Please Mitt! Hit him harder and bring up the secret messages with Iran!!!!

Fellow Lucianners, please post a play by play. I am in flight and can't stream the debate because gogo inflight blocks it.

#57 I agree. Obama is cornered and he KNOWS he isn't cutting it

O is throwing daggers at Romney with his eyes.

Despicable.... ozero wants to concentrate on space??? After HE got rid of the space program by putting them in charge of cozying up to the muslims!

Anesthetize. Me. NOW!

#60: Hillbuzz.org has a livestream debate transcript of the election, which is supposed to be updated every 15 minutes. However, it may get kinda slow sometimes because of traffic.

What a condescending jerk.

"We have these ships called aircraft carriers, planes land on them... we have ships that go underwater, they're called submarines..."

What a jerk.

Those comments toward Romney just now considering our military were just downright condescending. It was the jerk being a jerk, big time.

very very poor form--obama mocking romney re: military no longer uses bayonets

The sight and sound of BO makes me barf. I can't watch this debate. Thanks for all the posts.

Please keep posting L Dotters. Picturing Obama seething .....

Romney HAS to get tougher!

Bears on tv, debate on radio. Obama is condescending, as well as lying. Apparently he knows it all, and Romney is stupid. "Israel is our strongest allie" what a crock.

O loves Israel ... As long as I am president of the US Iran will not get a nuclear bomb.

OMG O is telling Romney that we have ships that planes can land on. When did that happen?

Another free campaign ad for Obama .... sure wish we could have a debate.

Already made the declaration that an attack on Israel is an attack on us? will BO say this.

Did almost nothing on sanctions until this year, if i recall correctly.

Obama: I will stand with Israel IF they are attacked. Romney should respond: I will stand with Israel even if they are NOT attacked
C'mon Mitt, say it

#60, can you get to the Telegraph live blog?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/us-election/9625048/US-presidential-debate-buildup-live.html

Latest

21.47 (02.47) Obama says the sequestration - the automatic cuts to defence that will come into force next year if no deficit deal is reached - will not happen. Good to hear he's so confident because many Americans have no faith in Washington's ability to forge a deal.

He hits back at Romney's favourite line about the US having a smaller navy now than in 1916. "We also have fewer horses and fewer bayonets," says Obama. "This isn't a game of battleship."

21.45 (02.45) Everyone expected that both men would try to bring things back to domestic politics. But not to this extent.

#70 s correct. Mitt needs to come back harder.

Here's the play by play:
obama: angry and full of it; talk, talk, talk full of hotair...same verse JUST LIKE THE FIRST!

Romney: calm but firm, in command, knowledgeble. VERY PRESIDENTIAL.

So if you saw the first debate, that's all you need to know.

O.V.E.R. AND OUT! (Nov. 6th, that is!)

Obama just got so nasty and so sarcastic and disrespectful to Romney about our Navy.
So unpresidential.
Went into an angry sarcastic riff , telling Romney that he might not know what an aircraft carrier is
-planes land on it.
Obama tells Romney he might not know what a submarine is-it goes underwater and on and on.
Obama was so angry and unhinged.
Wow.

Obama is such a liar!! He is saying hell do the OPPOSITE of what he has done the last 4 years... Regardless of popular vote, we are screwed. Obama can and WILL fudge electoral college votes

Is there a Bears/Lions score?

I agree that so far it's debate #1 all over/ Romney is coming across as very Presidential
Obama is just so angry and hostile. That's the right word: hostile. A President shouldn't be hostile.

In the event of an attack on Israel the Obamboozler will support them...in about 90 days!
The Benghazi Bullshirter is like the guy that will throw a life preserver on a 20 foot rope to a man drowning 30 feet away and then afterwards say "Hey, I met him more than halfway!"

Bears 10 Lions 0

obama stands with Israel? Since when? He treats them like they are our enemy. He sure can tell some lies.

Does Odumbo ever shut up?

Bears 10, Lions 0, 5 min left in second half.

DUH Obama, you think , getting nuclear out of Iran. Obama is delusional and lives in lala land, you have done nothing to make the world safer.

obama can't complete a sentence without his teleprompter. He must have had the questions in advance.

Why are they letting with Obama getting away with his lies?

Romney 10, Lyins 0

B. Husseain.... what an
ALPHA HOTEL!! additionally a LIAR!!!
I don't know why we have these debates. Gives a forum for ZERO to appear to be human.

God, o lies so much. The only way I can watch is because wild red has 8% alcohol. Need another for the last half. O is capable of stringing words together is my critique of his performance. It's like the last 3 1/2 years haven't happened.

This debate reminds me of Obama's performance during the budget discussions with the Republicans. He was a condescending jerk then and was ultimately put in his place by the very hot, Paul Ryan.

Romney is doing a good job in just letting Obama show his rear-end. Romney is talking like an adult while Obama is talking like the brown-nosing community organizer that he is.

#92 love it

obie seems to think that everyone has amnesia. his lackies are not the only ones who can fact check!!!

What was that? Obama says he never apologised for America?!!!!

Now obama is denying his apology tour. Says it just never happened. Uh oh ...watch out! His lips are moving again!

Yes, Romney answered Obama's lie that it wasn't an apology tour.
