Romney strong out of the gate in debate: Obama Stumbling

Well lets hope you are right....

Chris Matthews on Obama:

I don't know what he was doing out there. He had his head down, he was enduring the debate rather than fighting it. Romney, on the other hand, came in with a campaign. He had a plan, he was going to dominate the time, he was going to be aggressive, he was going to push the moderator around, which he did effectively, he was going to relish the evening, enjoying it,"

Really? I thought Obama was relaxed and chill. He already knows the election is his. Why should he get all worked up. TPTB have already given Obama the next four years.

CNN poll:
67% Romney, 25% Obama

Registered voters who watched the debate.

Just a friendly reminder. Ding dong Bush is gone! Why so much talk about the Bush crew? They have been long gone. Now, in all fairness, there has been some lingering aftertaste from the previous administration. However, Bush and crew is not running for President. It is candidate Romney, and President Obama. In military circles, there is a thing called burden of command. President Obama assumed command. With that in mind, he assumes responsibility.

No one twisted his arm to become President. He was given an opportunity to appoint his own experts, staffers, and cabinet. What happened, rests decidingly upon his shoulders. Nobody elses. Enough of Bush already, because we are talking about the current President's record. Lets continue to do so, and let the President clarify his own agendas and intiatives, and provide explanations as to why some of them became failures. That will be the make or break element of his campaign. Break with the past and get with the now!

Part of me is afraid you're right.

Did his attitude seem to say, "I don't have to really 'show up' here tonight because I already have this election in the bag."

I wish ron paul was up there debating. Romney and Obama would be schooled. Paul would point out all the flowing amount of crap that is flowing out of both of their mouths.

"Mr. President you are actively killing american citizens and destroying the constitution, you passed NDAA on dec 31 at midnight while america wasn't paying attention. How can you swear to uphold the constitution and then actively attack and destroy it. Mr. Romey you have said that you support NDAA as well. How can either of you think you are qualifed to hold office when you disregard the original document that this great country is founded on."

Ron Paul is a delusional old man that wishes Jim Crow was still alive. Please pass that on to his son, because he is no better.

If this were a factual debate, you'd conveniently go silent very quickly...bubbajoe...

Too bad registered voters don't decide who wins the presidency.

I know right?
Second line

None of the actual important topics were discussed tonight:

Federal Reserve
Endless wars
Debt (the real state of the debt crisis)
Special interests
Bailouts
Bubbles

Chris Matthews lost that tingle apparently. I guess Obama is giving him the Hershey squirts now.

Wasn't it scary? I thought his attitude was oddly calm. He almost possessed the same calmness Johnson displayed sitting two limos behind JFK on November 22 1963, say around 12:30pm?

So from reading a lot of these comments, people would rather see someone disrespect the debate format and interrupt/bully the moderator. Then say, someone who stays relatively close to their allotted time while allowing and listening to their opponent's response.

I thought Obama remained cool and thoughtful while Romney came off aggressive and constantly shooting back that crocodile smile of his.

While Romney appeared confident and domineering, did his specifics match Obama's? Enough actual details rather then shouting the unemployment numbers over and over again?
