Seriously, where do you get this crap from? A coin toss has determined that President Obama will get the first question. Romney will get the last word before the debate ends.
So, based in the national average, Mr. Romney actually UNDERSTATED the number of teachers that $90billion would have hired. He said 2 million. The math says it's 2,966,674.
Good job Bill. Thanks for those facts. I'd prefer the data was dated but I'll accept that for now.
Well let's start with Romney’s claim that his tax plan will not benefit upper-income earners.
Please provide a quote of him saying that. You cannot, of course, as he said no such thing. What he said was that he will not cut the share of taxes paid by those upper earners.
If we're going to discuss what they said, let's actually be discussing WHAT THEY SAID. In this particular case, you can see it here, on the second video, at about the 50 second mark.

Reason: added video
Boy does there sure seem to be a lot of different opinions from Obama Supporters tonight. Some clearly saw what eveyone else saw (including Andrew Sullivan) but you still have folks on here convinced Obama did fine and sustained "zero damage". Nobody is claiming Mitt won the election but he clearly won THIS debate.
Pretty amusing to follow.
I appreciate sincere honesty. I too have very good democratic friends, who watched the debate with us. They are devout democrats.
From their point of view, Obama was not on his game tonight, and they were disapointed.
From their point of view honestly, after watching Romeny in this type of setting, they changed towards their feelings about him. Not saying they will vote for him, but after tonight's debate, they will definitely listen to him on this next one.
They felt that Romeny wanted to be there, and was more presidential in spirit.
The husband was very disapointed and upset with Obama's performance, felt he was jus there cause he had to be, but one thing the husband said, and let me be clear. No one has hit him hard in the manner in which Romney went after him tonight and i get to see Obama, when there is someone as Romeny going after his record.......... interesting night.
