Libs, what's up? Blaming the moderator?? For crying out loud, you folks really are a bunch of sissies. Obama had his lunch handed to him last night and you blame poor old Jim Lehrer.

If it wasn't so obvious I'd think you're trying to set up and intimidate the next moderator.

Yep, a modern day version of "shoot the messenger". Gotta keep the next moderator in line, and make fearless leader look good.

Although it did seem at times that Lehrer was trying to guide Obama along with his answers. Cant say if it was a liberal bias, or if he just felt pity for the fumbling fool.

YC.......

It was like the football game with the nobody refs, their job is to keep things in line and keep it fair.

Lehrer was clearly googly eyed and Willard's sock for the night letting him do whatever the hell he wanted to. Cutting off the president when he was talking, dodging questions, going off topic, speaking far longer than allowed, etc,.. It was a disaster.

The moderators job is to tell idiots like Willard to shut their mounts when others are talking and to answer the questions, not to be memorized by Willard's new "just for men, salt and pepper" hair dye.

Lehrer gave Obama a full five more minutes of speaking time than Romney. And Lehrer actually tried to HELP Obama by clarifying points for him. It's just ridiculous that you guys would now attack LEHRER. I guess it just continues the theme of nothing being Obama's fault; it's always someone else's fault. You couldn't blame Bush for Obama's failure last night, so you blame Lehrer.

WEll what do you expect? Obama blames everyone else, why shouldn't the NY Times? So far we have heard it was the altitude, it was the moderator and Axelrod blamed something else...??? Tomorrow we will hear another excuse....

It's not that it's a bad thing, it wasn't. Willard showed off how well he can lie, act like a thug, show disrespect, and otherwise act like a complete ass. Obama sat back and let Willard dig his own hole

That's good...and if it wasn't someone else's fault, then obviously Romney lied.

I heard some talking head today trying to make the case that if Obama had gotten impassioned or angry at the lies that Romney was throwing around he'd be accused of angry black man syndrome.

What a classic crock, but you libs are jumping right into it.

Nice spin. Obama can't debate Romney, so that makes Romney the bad guy. Pathetic.

Stop your whining! You Libs are like dealing with a 5 year old.

Obama was schooled last night. If you think for a second that it was Obama's intention to "sit back" then you are completely delusional. Obama looked like a deer in the headlights, scared, outmatched and completely unsure of himself. Now, ask yourself, is this the guy who should be in charge of the greatest country in the world?

Two thoughts immediately come to mind. First, yet another excuse from Mr Obama. Seems as though he never is without a handy excuse. Second, this appears to be a version of, "Kill the messenger.", a staple of the Obama campaign aparatus. And the media aides and abets.

Nothing new here.
