As an aside, here's the rest of the debate schedule:
Oct 11: Vice Presidential Debate, Foreign and domestic topics
Oct 16: Second Presidential Debate, Town Hall meeting format

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 338 of 338obmacare! barry may be smile on the outside when the term is used, but on the inside he feels the pain.
I'm with you, girl!
Zap... again.
did barry just suffer a teeny tiny stroke?! all that stumblin'..
It's called federalism. Ever heard of it?
Okay, Barry, it doesn't work to twist words spoken only minutes ago.
You See Mitt Romney
we knows how to keep our Republicans in line in Taxsachutsetts... I GarUNtee
This is gibberish.
Patti, Michelle glared at him and he momentarily froze. They're about to lose all those free trips overseas.
You have to take the law past the point of no return to find out what's in it.
Folks with insurance gets a rebate ...uh ... what?
So the answer is no. No, you have not heard of federalism.
t-rav: she's all THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR MY ANNIVERSARY?! MITT MOPPING THE FLOOR WITH YOUR BEHIND?! ~glare o'death~
I'm absolutely unable to follow Obama's answers.
Indi, don't feel bad if you're confused. Obama's even more confused.
Romney bringing up IPAB.
"Government is not effective at bringing down the cost of anything."
Excellent! I'm glad he pointed out Cleveland Clinic is private!
It would have been better if Romney had said...
Well first Mr. President we read the MAssachutsetts law before voting on it instead of voting on it to see what's in it...
No man should go to bed without a little action on his anniversary.
But Obama will.
And I don't feel all that bad for him.
Mitt is calm and patient in the face of sheer stupidity. Barry is the spoiled child repeating what he wants even if it makes no sense.
Obama doesn't really know what is in his plan. It does have a Death Panel.
This is merely a subjective observation, but Obama sounds fatigued and stumbling delivering these "statements." Romney sounds energetic and combative.
Tyranmx isn't Confusion one of the 57 states in Obama's alternate universe...
I believe the capital is Dazed end
So, wait, is Obama saying ObamaCare is the same as MassCare or not?
He just told you, you f@#king idiot.
T-Rav, you beat me to it!
That's an applause line and it was really poorly done.
uh-oh, Mitt's fixin' to hit it out of the park...
Dear liberals: Look at this. This is your god. Just look at him.
That is all.
Mitt has made it really clear that he is focused on middle income people. It's going to be hard to brush that away.
"This is merely a subjective observation, but Obama sounds fatigued and stumbling delivering these "statements." Romney sounds energetic and combative."
I'm seeing that too, but I'm biased.
Barry withers when facing a worthy opponent.
Tenth amendment baby!!!!!
It's hard not to see what you want to see, but I agree. fatigued and stumbling. uh..uh..
Sweet! Not only is Romney winning the debate, he's steering it now!
I could say how excited and upbeat I feel listening to this, but it would be vulgar to say in mixed company.
Too bad you don't spend all that much time in the Oval Office, Barry.
T-Rav and tryanmax, I don't think Obama is very well prepared. He has a memorized speech for each question and then stumbles around with platitudes.
Well, uh, I, um...ladders of opportunity? I don't need your stinkin' ladder.
Seriously, you're bringing me into this? Have I not earned rest from years of saving the Union and fighting vampires?
Lincoln ... see Lincoln was a collectivist just like me
Lincoln.... uh was better in reheasal I promise
Obama is hard to listen too because he rambles all over the place.
He's pronouncing opportunity wrong. He means "outcome."
If Obama brings up high-speed rail, you will all pay me $200.
grave. rolled in.
Where are the lay offs of teachers?
I haven't seen any.
We need more teachers because the unions won't let me fire the bad ones. It's really the only option I've got.
This is BEAUTIFUL by Mitt. Beautiful.
Tam, lol!
We don't.
tam: i agree. i say we all lift a drink in a toast for a job well done!
Wow! Romney is giving a pretty vision. Obama was lost in the weeds.
Tam, they start with the same letter. It's an easy mistake.
OMG, I'm SO turned on by Romney right now...
Mitt, I will pretend that you haven't given any specifics so far and ask you for specifics.
He stole my talking point! He can't do that! That's...that's just wrong!!!
Hey, Crispy, just wait until you see me. October 11th. It's a date.
Obama keeps going nasty on the class warfare -- getting old fast.
i'm signing off mah babies. had a 10.5 mile run today and i can't see straight any more. have a great night. God Bless America.
Jim, I hope there were no hard feelings after the whole cutting PBS thing.
G'nite Patti.
Paul Ryan~swoon!
Swoooon, Paul, swoon!
Good night Patti! Thanks for coming.
Hey, have you guys seen "Community"? That's a great show. America needs more of that.
Crispy, LOL! So Romney has won you over?
Oh, so NOW Romney genuinely cares about the poor and children? F@#k you.
Extrapolating the money you'd end up cutting 20%
and uh uh Community college
Obama isn't make any sense.
Zing! *nom*
I heart Mitt! You're not entitled to your own facts.
OWWWWWWWWWWW
OH @#$% ME
ObamaPHONE! ObamaCARE! ObamaCOLLIJ! Keep Obama in president, ya know!
"That would have hired 2 million teachers!" ZAAP
"Half of those businesses were run by your contributors!" ZAAAAAP
This is like watching a prize fight between Urkel and Rocky.
What, Andrew? Sorry, I need a moment alone over here...
He did it! "Mr. President. You are entitled to your own airplane, your own house, because of your title but not your own facts." haha
This is his Reagan "There you go again Carter"
Maybe it's a good thing I didn't buy those Hostess Zingers.
Obama it is too late for sucking up to the Moderator
This was awesome. Mitt won this easily!
ObamaPhone Lady, you'd better start taking care of that device, I think.
Lehrer is trying to make Mitt look like he's dodging the question. Mitt didn't let him. Denied!
LEADERSHIP.
I agree. 100% Mitt. He's speaking to the issues and not dodging them. He's not double speaking. He is talking about leadership, fiscal responsibility and working across the aisle.
And then you will ignore them. We know.
We are sorry the ObamaPhone lady's phone is out of service. Please check the number and try again...
Bad time for partisan sniping, Mr. President, on a question about bipartisanship.
SPIKE!
Says the man with no plan.
Oh, you're a real champ at saying no to the other party, Barry. We'll all give you that.
Let me take this opportunity to blame the Republicans once again.
Says the man who won't say no to his own party.
I think he won it after Obama complained about big oil money and Romney mentioned the 90 billion spent on Green energy.
What an ASS!!
And how hypocritical.
I'll admit it, I missed half, but so far, it looks like Romney certainly rehearsed.
I still am waiting for an explanation on the vast simplicity of Romneycare (under 100 pages) in comparison to Obamacare(2* (10^3) pages)
"Was a terrific debate" yeah - you had your ass kicked.
So the Man who championed Yes We Can
now says you don't know how to say No!
Where is the irony in this debate?
Over there In a box...
I've got a thrill going down my le--oh wait, that's urine.
..."and that's why I bought GM and will run it into the ground, because I care about American energy. Let's close loopholes. Let's create jobs and penalize those people (except me) who send jobs overseas. All of these things are designed to make sure that the American people have 'a fair share'." I have an idea. How about a flat tax?
Obama's vision is "Romney is a jerk."
Either Obama's handlers need to up Obama's meds or do without them. He isn't making much sense.
Romney, you did it man. You just made the pundits irrelevant. Congratulations.
Obama 2012: He's a lover and a fighter.
"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal."
Did you forget about that one, Barry?
Mr. President. Self castigation isn't fitting a president.
I'll fight every single day. Unless I'm golfing. Or in Vegas. Or on the view or letterman. Or on vacay, baby! But on all the other days, I'll fight. Seriously. Just tell me whose ass to kick.
"ObamaCare will be fully installed." That's all you need to know right there.
I think an opportunity was missed when they went to the shortened debate on regulation. Dodd-Frank is important, but most of the killing regulations are coming from other agencies--particularly the EPA. I'm sure it will come up again, however, and Romney should nail it. I think Romney won on points, but didn't score any fatal wounds. Two to go.
well done, Mr. Romney
hhhahaha tam. wahoo. Biden versus Ryan. Not even going to be a challenge.
Tam, wow. I didn't think you could do it, but you encapsulated an entire administration in three lines. Wow.
Ass kicking complete. Thank you for playing, Mr. President. You may now flee the stage.
How long before CNN puts out the first poll showing Obama winning the debate by 62%?
Game Set and Match to Mr. Romney
Congratulations! We can see who did their homework and who went to Vegas....
Michelle seems displeased. Knew I was right about that lack of free trips thing.
Excellent closing remarks from Romney.
Tam, LOL!
All right, folks. I'm outta here to write the recap! Thanks for coming! :)
just took a peek at Joel Pollack's column at Breitbart. They should have stopped it.
Fabulous! Just fab, Romney.
Let the spin begin. >>eyeroll<<
NBC commentary is ridiculous. Obama didn't have his ass handed to him. He "decided" to "play it low key" and keep it "above the fray." They are swooning at how thoughtful he was, taking many pauses to gather his thoughts. Yeah right!
Oh, shoot. Even MSNBC can't spin this thing. Ed Schultz is freaking out.
Thanks for hosting. Between here and my facebook page I've been on a roll. Oh and just a shameless plug. We have launched our website www.whenthenavywalked.com and www.hillbilliesvsaliens.com we are a small company who cannot hire people under obamacare. It's a fact. sorry. It's not politics.
Or at least I think it's Ed Schultz. There was a big meathead talking, so I just assumed.
Andrew, thanks for putting on the show! This really lifted my spirits. :-)
G'night, all!
Now THAT is a debate!
"90 billion dollars on green energy is like 50 years of subsidies for big oil"
If anyone wants some late night laughs, go to twitter in search of pro-Obama tweets. The desperation is palpable. A few gems:
I've gotten in more passionate #debates over soda pop. This debate was bland. Tepid. Dull. Nothing. @amazingatheist
Romney: "I actually have no ideas. And I'll kill Obamacare and Medicare. But I'm white. Doesn't that still count for something?" @TheDailyEdge
So, apparently women — who will decide this presidency — don’t merit a mention. My uterus is yelling at the TV. @AngryBlackLady
Mitt came in to this debate knowing he could lie continuously and not get pinned down on it. @QueerjohnPA
Disagree we heard the President and he was cool and was not going to have a juvenile fight, we know Mitt lied @EdieVP

I just missed it, but apparently Matthews just had a huge meltdown on MSNBC. I'll post the inevitable video clip once it's available, people are saying it's epic.
Hee Hee Hee
poor lil proggies
T-Rav, please, please, please don't forget. I have to see that.
ACG, I figured Obama was running a deficit. Early this week, Laura Ingraham acted shocked when Paul Ryan told her that Obama was outspending them. She took that as a deficiency in the Romney campaign. But my gut told me that Obama is just easy about going into the red. Looks like my gut wins again!
Hee Hee
Just checked the live debate feed at Politico
How are we viewing this debate and I don't know it will change once we have the polls and the voters decise but let's say Mitt romney had a good night.
People are saying that Obama is a bit rusty tongiht and he is just dusting the rust off...
Hee Hee Hee .... I will sleep happy tonight
tryanmax, when have I ever disappointed you?
Take a look, everyone. OH MY
I saw about half of the debate. Romney's performance was great, he had a better stage presence and better command of the facts.
T-Rav, thank you. Deeeee-lightful!
T-Rav, thank you, thank you, thank you!
I actually think Obama should take Matthews' advice. But then, I'm rooting for him to lose. So take it as it comes.
John O'Sullivan said he was tempted to use the Churchill quote after El Alamein:
“This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is the end of the beginning.”
