So you're like my 12 year old son who needs to be told things over and over..

Who am I to argue with you admitting that you're acting like a child..

Obama and Hillary always have insisted that everyone wait for the facts.

Yup - that's what being educated is all about - facts - not fairy tales.

Obama did not say one thing about limiting gun sales. He talked about banning assault weapons. There is a difference.

Define "Assault weapon"

Oh yeah, he didn't answer and Candy stepped in to help. Right nice of her.

Ouch....I know that's gotta hurt

It doesn't hurt nearly as much as the 65%/22% (or whatever it was) in the first debate.

And 46/39 isn't that impressive for Obama.

I just can't look past Romney's sleaziness. The guy just make me cringe when he tries to be compassionate, it is not natural for him.

It seems unnatural for him to seem sincere or compassionate. He is just socially awkward.

Romney argued his usual untruths and platitudes, designed to lure in unsuspecting clueless suckers.

President Obama was far more substantive and truthful tonight. He was by far Romney's superior. President Obama owned Romney, as usual.

This country is fortunate to have President Obama at the helm. This is obvious.

The biggest thing of all is he failed on the economy tonight. So who cares if you think he did better over all. He clearly lost on the key issue

Agreed

Obama was more forceful than in the last debate (one could not be worse), however, he clearly lost in substance, plan, and factual data.

Obama was consistently UNABLE to defend his policies of the last four years. He looked absurd, in promoting the very same policies which have already failed.

Mitt definitely owned Obama! You see, in Teabagger Fantasy Land, Obama really did go 2 weeks without condemning the Benghazi attack as a terrorist attack! Don't go by reality in who won the debate, you have to go by the REAL reality, the one Rush Limbaugh broadcasts on his show every day
