Arrrgh!!! Why won't Obama call Romney on all of his lies??

I can't count all the lies that Romney has told. $716 Billion cut from Medicare. Death Panels. Get rid of Obamacare. Now he's praising RomneyCare in Mass and beating up on Obamacare. What a jerk, and now RoomneyCare was bipartisan and Obamacare Obama 'rammed through'...Obama rammed Obamacare through a Congress that had more filibusters than all previous congresses combined.

Obama is getting his ass handed to him because he won't call Romney on his freaking lies.

There are attention whores who have a need for people to pay attention to them and try to convince them to take a stand. They have already made up their minds--they just want to go on TV and look pensive.

Here's the bottom line--if you make less than a quarter million a year and you still want to vote for rMoney, you're a racist or you are dumb as dirt.

The lines are drawn--this debate game is more for the media than anyone else. They will try to make this a horse race, because they need eyes on screens to make a profit.

Everything rMoney said was "Fuck the poor, fuck the middle class." The President was presidential. rMoney was a spitting dickhead.

a president doesn't act like Dan Ackyroyd in SNL saying Jane you "xxxx".
doesn't happen

I don't know where you have seen that, but a President acts Presidential.

anything less belittles the office.

whereas Mitt is a nutjob

Picture a fight- Obama is Ali and Mitt is a punch drunk loser flailing away
Mitt is sweating and Obama hasn't even been flicked, let alone hit.

Not even one zinger from Mitt. (and he keeps licking the sweat that is dripping down off his top lip. Is he gonna take someones panty and wipe the sweat off and fling it into the audience like Elvis?

We here at DU look at fact checkers, people at Red State or FOX News listeners don't bother with them.

Obama's job is to act presidential, not to point out every lie.

He opens his mouth and a lie comes out. He wouldn't know how to tell the truth if it slapped his ass.
