All this time Rmoney was talking about zingers. Why tell everyone and your cousin your plan? By Obama sticking with getting his message and plan out with the largest possible audience he will have at one time he gets a huge advantage. Meanwhile, Rmoney lied and lied and lied and lied during the whole debate. As well as tell everyone he is getting rid of Big Bird.

I did not see Obama appearing as being tired, disinterested or anything negative. If anything, he was probably doing everything he could to avoid blurting out a comeback. And looking like the cheshire cat. There is a time to have a broad smile and sometimes if one knows they know the secret it might be better NOT to have that smile. Chris Cizzilla should stick his head up his ass. I'm referring to the article the asshole criticizing Obama in the WP. Zitzilla has never won an election or been responsible for helping to win one.
