I agree that he should have attacked Mitt's terrible action record, and record of unfortunate utterances as well, which is why I'm calling it a draw.<br />Demeanor counts, pundits: the guv looked too chirpy and all faux smiles. amber ladeirahttp://amberladeira.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357567517901566907.post-40441478398884368132012-10-04T18:05:43.088-07:002012-10-04T18:05:43.088-07:00Mr. Romney does a 180-degree pivot by denying his ...Mr. Romney does a 180-degree pivot by denying his support of tax cuts for the wealthy. Just in time for the debate. How convenient!<br /><br />As far as I'm concerned, the President was remiss by not calling him on the carpet. In fact, Obama didn't challenge him in regard to any of his past transgressions, despite the fact that he had plenty of ammo (e.g.: the "47%" remarks, his sordid history with Bain Capital, his support for the Ryan budget, etc.).<br /><br />The proceedings were civil, as you say, but Romney got away with murder. Let's face it, appearances matter. Romney appeared to be at the top of his game while Obama looked tired and careworn.<br /><br />To some extent, it's understandable. Obama is a hard-working President. His daily schedule is a lot more grueling than Romney's; that is Mr. Mitt "Hey, I'm unemployed too, hahaha" Romney.<br /><br />Obama has time to redeem himself. He'd better take advantage of it.Hardwired to Reasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215442048112659065noreply@blogger.com
