Some thoughts about last night

If you will note how much the debates were hyped. They even had a countdown clock on MSNBC. Like it was going to be the smack down in history.

GLADIATORS.

I have to admit, I kinda expected that too. So did they (GOP) that is why they dug up that nugget tape about Obama using "ANGER" INFLECTION" etc.

Debates used to be a serious event, there used to be an air of respect, and decorum. Now it has become part of the Gladiator fights of the Campaign...is this where we are?

Media, how would you debate a liar? How does one win, lying? Why would you expect Obama to do your job?

that Romney was spitting out over and over again. You could tell Obama was aghast at how Romney continued the same old unbelievable dishonest talking points. It would be like trying to reason with a stubborn mule.

it was the job of the media to have done this many years ago. The media by not keeping them honest..by even rewarding those who lie..as they done last night...should be instead exposing the lies...since when is lying a qualification for the office?

We've lived through 8 yrs of people standing before the American people and lying to their faces...
