“One day, ladies and gentlemen — hopefully very soon — we will learn that Obama’s top advisers, including some of his top campaign people, were involved in this Benghazi cover up, because that’s what this is.” -Rush
Limbaugh
GASPS in the audience when Romney said
You will get your chance! To the POTUS. That’s gonna hurt him.
@Jeff
I bet GE does not like the Romney Plan since they did not have to pay any taxes because of loop hole.
Snort through my nose. Obama is saying it will blow up the deficit. Good grief.
I agree USN
The two week high the GOP had is popping before there eyes.
Not Romney’s arena!
@suikostinger
If you get the first answer the other guy should have the last answer.
obumbles is having a problem lying tonight.
He is talking fast and raising his voice, a sign that someone is not in control or believes what he is saying.
All of us have a discussion with someone who starts’ talking louder as the discussion goes on.
obumbles and the fat lady are doing their best to cut Romney off.
Can anyone find any truths in any of the statements said by obumbles so far?
Lets see if they bring up the fact that the 72% is mainly based on phy demanding jobs, firefighter, police, armed forces, where in busness the are equal if not higher
obumbles sure the sh1t isn’t telling the truth about his energy plan, or correctly not having one.
This is a disaster. Candy Crowlwy has lost control.
Oh that arrogant smug look on obamas face isn’t going to help him.
@ Letmethink
What did you expect from the left dumbocrat ding bat.
She has always been a hardcore socialist.
obumbles is trying to out speak Romney thing that that will play with the American public.
Oh, I forgot, the left are so stupid with their free cell phones that they will believe he walks on water.
@suikostinger
There we go again, Obama is getting the first and last statement.
That ding bat is casting a very bad pall over anyone who has been or wants be a moderator.
@ usnretiredx2
First and last, they are still lies.
I really thought she would do better but Romney really has to fight for his time. She is going to get slammed.
