Weak ass fucking moderator, by my count he's tried and failed to cut them off nine times now.

Romney is once again talking out his ass and lying. You can write off the plant equipment as a loss when you shut down the plant and ship jobs overseas.

I agree that Jim Lehrer sucks as a moderator. The only real positive is that he hasn't tried to bring up gaffes as questions.

...Mittens...this is just...

I'm so glad I don't drink, since my friends tried to convince me to play a drinking game every time Romney lied...I'd be dead halfway through...

I actually like Jim Lehrer staying mostly out of the debate. The two are doing just fine without him.

Obama does seem to be doing most of the talking though, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

To be fair, part of that is Romney. He's responding to the President far more often than he's trying to raise his own original points.

"If you are 54 or 55 you might want to listen." The look on both Obama and Romney's face during that line was priceless. It was like Obama was saying with his eyes that this is how you make a zinger... jackass.

Obama isn't just responding to Romney's zingers, he's making his own points and forcing Romney to respond to him - and it's working. "Cutting Medicare to pay for Obamacare" has gone nowhere.

Why the fuck did Obama not mention the 716 in cost savings was in the Ryan-Romney plan.

The fact Lehrer can't mute their mics and go "lie, the actual figures are X" makes me sad.
