So, Mitt Romney did not shake the president's hand after the debate.

This guy is a total class act, not only that, but earlier he told the president to sit down as he is speaking.

Did anyone notice that?

I fucking loath this guy.

The force... err.. umm... arrogance rather... is strong on the dark side.

Did he really tell the President of the Frickin' United States, already, to sit down?

How did I miss that?

"You'll get your chance in a moment, I'm still speaking" these were his disrespecting tone toward the PRESIDENT of the United States.

And when things don't go that way, as they didn't tonight, he's surprised and angry.

That's the way he came across to me, and I don't think I'm the only one. I think he showed his true face to the voters, and on a gut level, it won't sit well with them.
