"That's simply not true Governor, and you full well know it"

Mr. President, please memorize this statement. Don't expect the media to call out Romney's lies, they haven't done that since before Reagan.
Your a brilliant man and know the facts, call him out and state the truth.

Did he call him out on the repeated "Medicare cuts" lie, the amount of debt lie, the jobs lie, etc...

He never confronted Romney and said "That is not true."

But that is harder to do when Romney is doing the Gish Galop because there might be 5 different lies to deal with before Romney ever comes up for air.
