Obama: Guy On Stage Was Not The ‘Real Mitt Romney’

[patrice]

66. +1! & President Obama also really did get a couple of pretty good zingers in and he worked Rongny's

math over a couple of times and he shined the light very brightly on how Rongny was saying only "CURRENT" Medicare recipients can expect no changes in Medicare.

President Obama was not entirely passive up there; I think some people were concerned that he didn't go after EVERY lie Rongny said, which would have been everything that came out of his mouth.

I think you are right too, anyone who hasn't been into the politics as deep as some are probably saw Rongny as a rude bully and if that didn't bother them much, they'd see the whole debate as pretty even between the two guys.

The only ones who would have seen Rongny's behavior as positive were people who either fully support or are leaning toward him anyway AND THE MEDIA who want the the whole campaign season to be a horse race all of the way through, in order to boost their viewership and ratings, 'cause more people will tune-out if there's a pretty clearly defined difference so they make their minds up and stop following it all on tv. So some media personalities have a way of looking at how Rongny behaved last night and then speak about it in glowing terms, in order to make him look better compared to the President than he actually is.
