The media did go overboard, but in some ways, I understand why Rachel & Co. kept talking about it: Maybe it's because they, like me, really hate everything Romney represents and couldn't stand to see his smug lies go unchallenged. I was pissed way before the debate ended because Lehrer didn't do his f*cking job, which then put the onus on President Obama to challenge Romney on his lies at the debate.
And-- this is where my hatred for Romney may be coloring my judgement--instead of smacking Romney down, Pres. Obama was a little too polite, even smiling and nodding while Romney told his lies.
Yes I know I'm whining and need to get over it, but... prior to that debate, Romney was on the ropes. He was a goner. All we needed was that final knockout punch. Instead, Rmoney was allowed to etch and sketch his way back up in the polls, leaving things close enough to STEAL. As much as I'm ready to move on, it's hard to when I see robme's poll numbers going up everyday.
