Mine was when Romney tried to call out Pres.Obama on Libya semantics only to have it BACKFIRE when he was proven wrong.
Yours?

(27,461 posts)who knows what he was going for with "have you looked at your pension! have you looked at your pension!" but it ended up with him getting laughed at.

(674 posts)by insisting that the President's pension invests in them also, and Obama's response was like a Reagan retort "My pension isn't as big as yours".
It left Romney with Chinese all over him and looking like he did in the primary when he upped Perry's bet to $10,000.

(6,067 posts)That was deadly, and typical of what Obama does very well: let people tangle themselves up. It's too bad he tends towards playing this game to the point of passivity, but tonight it served him well. The wingnuts must think there were teleprompters hidden around the studio for the debate.

(29,149 posts)I thought he handled that very well, and I think it might have flustered Romney into flubbing his final thrust on the "calling it terror" comment.

(48 posts)When Mitt stepped into it when he tried to basically call the president a liar about the his comments in the rose garden the day after the Libya attack.

(12,121 posts)different from George W Bush? I was thinking THANK YOU LADY FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION!
The horror of George W Bush was mentioned more in this one debate than in the whole campaign season!
And I agree that the President's answer was masterful-- pointing out the ways in which R was much more extreme.
