    I thought he was doing well until he referred to his own health care bill as "Obamacare".

        Mitt needs to answer this question without totally patronizing the guy who asked it.

        Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

          agreed, Romney needs to relax, especially on the format.

          As for Obama, he has shown me that he has a high school level understanding of economics.

            Like I said, I just turned it on, but Romney is killing Obama with this answer about the unemployment rate. Just brutal.

              Obama still manages to rack up a time of possession advantage. He's up by about three minutes.

                Romney just gave the best answer I have heard on immigration.

                    The lower flow of illegal immigration has more to do with the economy than any policy from Obama.

                      Obama's answer to immigration: "We have helped keep the US economy in such a shitty state that immigration from Mexico is at a 40-year low."

                        Obama is talking through the buzzer again. Come on, mods-- play it even.

                        EDIT: Actually, let him keep talking. This is as bad as he's been all night.

                              Obama continues to show his total lack of understanding of economics.

                                Right. I was just offering a critique as to how the electorate will view Obama's performance. They like someone who appears to have control of the data but doesn't blow them away with too much info. Obama is passing the sniff test on bringing "facts" to the table but the way he ties them together and how he turns them into attacks on Mitt has been awkward.

                                But I agree that his understanding of economics is lacking. He is who we thought he was.
