Did O just say that calling his world tour an apology tour was a whopper?

Just to be clear:

I originally saw Mitt Romney as my last choice during the whole process for US to select a GOP candidate. I cannot stand 0bama speaking at anytime, and change any chance to see or hear him.

Now, having said this, I am riveted to these debates because I now am finally able to see & hear Romney in ''his own words,'' without the filter that the talking points LSM puts on him & Ryan.

I am glad now & more than happy after watching Romney to vote for him & Cruz here in Texas.

Romney is giving 0bama a whipping by literally schooling him on the history of what's been happening in the Middle East & the protagonist we face in trying to help countries there.

0bama never went to Israel as president, insulted their PM and overall has dissed the country. He has diminished us there and throughout the M.E. If he went to Israel there would be protests thus he stays way because of the bad photo ops that would occur.

I liked Romney's tactic to let Obie attack and act all smug for almost an hour. Obie went ahead and stepped in it each and every time. But, then, Romney picked exactly the right moment to help himself into Obie's head and made Obie look very small and unpresidential for the last 30 minutes of the program. Nicely, done, President Romney.

Romney's closing statement was very good. He wants peace and prosperity, both of which are under threat w/ Obama.
I think Romney's goal in the debate was to appear confident and not make too many waves. Obama's smug expression won't win him any points with undecided voters.

03.35 (22.35) Romney says he's optimistic about America and its future. He says he wants peace and to get the economy going but there are two paths available for voters. The President offers "a road to Greece", declining pay and more government dependence. Romney offers new jobs, prosperity and new spirit of bipartisanship in Washington to get things done on behalf of the people.

Both men look well prepared and both deliver their lines straight down the camera.

03.32 (22.32) We're onto closing statements.

Obama says that in the last four years the US has made "real progress" in reversing the disastrous policies that led to record deficits, two wars and a historic recession. While Romney's policies would take the country back, Obama says he has a "different vision" of everyone getting a fair shot and doing their fair share. It's time to ends the wars and do "some nation building back at home".

obama talked about going to Israel before he became president. Odd that he can't talk about trips he's made to Israel AS president.

I thought he was petty, mocking, condescending, weak, and he looked like a little kid sitting on a booster chair. He sounded like an immature teenager. He sounded like he was repeating stuff somebody told him, not stuff he knew personally. No matter how you spin it, you can't fix stupid. And, the way he's run this country is stupid! He bored me, frankly, and I kept switching to the football game when he talked. I thought Mitt killed it.

My single word to describe Romney's presence and performance is, serene. Quietly confident, non-combative, and informative.

Obama interrupted, denied, filibustered aimlessly, and came off as a college professor's wise-ass assistant lecturing undergrads.

Romney came across as the guy with the better plan here, no need to win micro-points - no need to be crowned winner - This was intelligent, it was strategic, it wasn't reacting to headlines. Obama was reacting to headlines about what to do and not do. If Obama weren't a babykiller I would feel sorry for him - he succeeds in winning the game set before him but it turns out it wasn't that game after all. I would feel sorry for him, all this futility, if he weren't a baby killer.

If I had slept through yesterday, woken up this morning, and gone online, I might have thought the EDL beheaded someone. There is a lot of displacement on Twitter and FB, as if it´s all too politically difficult and socially awkward to talk about the killers´ ideology, or the place of religion in that ideology. So we talk instead about the EDL, or John Reid, or drones, or "the religion of peace" or say "Christians kill too" or "what about Anders Breivik", or, well, anything but the brute fact that the murderers, like so very many before them, shouted "Allahu

Republican senator Ted Cruz thinks he knows how to prevent Texas being swamped by demographics. The Senate amendment he is proposing on immigration reform would deny all illegal immigrants access to benefits and a pass to citizenship. The context for Cruz´s intervention is what Greg Abbott, the Republican Attorney General for Texas, last month described as "an assault far more dangerous than what the leader of North Korea threatened when he said he was going to add Austin, Texas, as one of the recipients of his nuclear weapons". That´s the threat of Texas "turning blue" (Democrat) and taking its 38

Our thoughts and condolence are with the family of the victim and the British people.

A friend of Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev implicated himself and Tsarnaev in a 2011 triple slaying just before he was killed by an FBI agent early Wednesday, NBC and CBS News are reporting. Authorities were pressuring Chechan immigrant Ibragim Todashev, 27, to make a full confession to the murders when he suddenly turned violent, according to CBS. An FBI agent responded by firing his weapon and killing Todashev. The incident happened at Todashev´s Orlando apartment, not far from Universal Studios. Initially, authorities claimed that Todashev had lunged at the agent with a knife, but they later backtracked, saying it

This is the dramatic moment a woman appears to remonstrate with a man carrying a knife following a brutal attack in Woolwich. The image shows a man wearing a brown jacket and carrying what appears to be a large knife, speaking to the woman beside a blue car which has significant damage to its front end at the scene where another man died following the attack. The two alleged attackers are thought to have waited around for 20 minutes until Metropolitan Police officers arrived and then tried to attack them--but were swiftly shot by armed policemen, including a woman.

But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy.

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Time magazine has finally obtained the smoking gun we´ve been waiting for from Barack Obama´s radical past: senior prom photos. It was 1979, and a 17-year-old Obama wore a white jacket and "sipped champagne" on a double date with his basketball bud Greg Orme ("They were like brothers") and their companions for the night, one of whom leaked the pictures. But the real highlight is the future president´s yearbook note to Kelli, Greg´s girl. "You are extremely sweet and foxy," he wrote in blue ink and respectable cursive.

Tucked away in someone else’s shoe box of adolescent artifacts, there might be a picture of you in garish clothes and with an outdated ‘do, your arm around a high school squeeze. The President of the United States is no different. These previously unpublished photos, obtained exclusively by TIME from Obama’s schoolmate Kelli Allman (née McCormack), show a 17-year-old Barack Obama on the night of his senior prom. Barry spent in his days at the Punahou School in Hawaii studying, shooting hoops and goofing off with his friends.
