That was a total train wreck for the Romney campaign.

He had no idea of the subject matter, and he kept wandering back to domestic issues.

I'd be very afraid to have him as a world leader if I were anyone. Not just as an American.

Obama did a great job tonight. Thank you Mr. President. Here's to four more years!

Obama just got a chance to show how little Romney really knows in regards to world affairs.

It looks like dodging the draft in France doesn't actually qualify as international experience.

that he had outsourced American jobs to China when he was with Bain. He never addressed it because the President was correct. Romney completely skirted it.

7. and the auto industry ...

let's not forget his "i never said that about the auto indusrty, and people can look it up" ...
we did, and they will ...

I didn't expect him to cave, sweat and fail like he did. If not for what's at stake I'd feel sorry for him.

It helped show just how clueless Romney is when it comes to the military. Obama was on his game tonight. It was a thing of beauty!

He has nothing to say on foreign policy other than "Iran bad, Israel good." This is the same man who just a few months ago called the Soviet Union a major threat.

That was pathetic. No one wants to be pandered to with empty words. No one.

He's one of those people with the money, an thus the power. He's never had to actually know anything. Let alone how his decisions effected others. That's beneath him. It really came across tonight. I think people got a real feel for how clueless he is.

Ann may hold Willard's arms so Tagg can get a clean shot.

Total Devastation.

That goes to show just how hard it is to find a really good job right now.

Hmm, maybe his campaign could use that?
