I loved how Obama waited until JUST the perfect moment

[99th_Monkey]

to drive home the 47% issues during his closing remarks, so
smarmy-pants couldn't parrot his pre-pre-prepared come-back.

It was masterful timing.

7. I heard rMoney say something about "the 100%" and thought, "There's the pitch ... "

Obama began his response ... I waited ... I knew it was coming ... he swings: "47%" ... HOME RUN!!!!

I cheered and scared my dog, LOL!

10. My wife doesn't watch debates for the same reason she doesn't watch sports

She tends to jinx them. But she walked in at that moment, heard him say 100% and her jaw dropped - "He did NOT just say that!"
Was one of those breaking balls that doesn't break and just hangs right over the plate....

18. That was me, too!

When Romney mentioned the 100%, I knew Obama was going after the 47% comment. The anticipation was sweet and the presentation did not disappoint!

The timing was perfecto and I really, really liked how Obama phrased it...."Think about who he was talking about." Thought that really made it hit home to people.

And my cats were all jittery last night and couldn't understand why mom kept screaming "Yes!" and was clapping at the television.

3. It takes Obama to set the record straight

I just Love him.

4. wonderful and better than expected. Awesome.

5. i agree saving it for the end was great, but actually, rmoney got his defense in first

when he said in response to the final "free-for-all" question that he cares about 100% of the people.

that was clearly his prepeared response to the 47% issue.

but it worked out very well that rmoney had to talk about it first and obama got the last word in.

6. Agreed...

...and I bet a tactic. Shows you how smart the Obama campaign is. They were willing to be "polite" in the first debate (gentlemen's honor) but after being blind-sided by lying Mitt, they were on their game this time. Our Pres is a formidable candidate...always has been. Good on him.

8. perfect timing!

9. I thought it was obvious since noon

I was flipping channels this morning when I stumbled upon limbaugh. He was talking about how Obama would bring up 47% and that it would work for Romney because he had the perfect talking points to combat it. I don't believe shit the guy says but I was thinking then, Obama should go there for closing remarks and not even give the guy a chance

[GallopingGhost]

11. Yes, it was a beeyooteeful move. n/t

[spinbaby]

21. Not a native English speaker?

Strange.

13. Our President is a very smart man.

[Jennicut]

15. Waiting until the closing remarks was brilliant.

Mittens had no come back because it was too late.

[99th_Monkey]

19. Totally ... and by that time

by the time of the closing remarks, Rmoney was already pretty much
destroyed, and it would have made his bad situation even worse if he
tried to forcefully interject some impulsive "come-back" at that point.

Big congrats to POTUS. Job well done.

17. Romney actually opened the door

by claiming that he cared about 100% of the people.

[99th_Monkey]

20. I think that's what they call "asking for it" ~nt
