Obama held his own. The MittTwit got NO game change. No major mistakes on either side. DRAW.

Dyanmics of the race won't change in any major way.

And frankly, Mitt got very lucky. If he keeps this up, he'll be toast next month.

Guess lying is impressive here at DU!

Because as usual, folks pile on Obama instead of having his back....

Same shit for the last 3.8 years! No difference in how Pres. Obama gets treated;
like shit, unless he cured Cancer...then maybe he'd get some support for
this place.

He was not offensive and the fact that he cares came through, Romney came across as smarmy and Obama as a President.

and Leher cowering in the corner, Obama would have had to walk over and bitch slap Robme to shut him up.

I am a peace loving soul, but that might have been satisfying to watch.

I HAVE always felt so proud of our President whenever he talks, but this spectacle was Romgaritaville - It's WHINE-a-clock somewhere.

HEY, that's not bad.
