President Obama says Mitt Romney underwent an "extreme makeover" for the debate. MSNBC's Ezra Klein discusses whether "moderate Mitt" is actually moderate with the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart and Politico's Maggie Haberman.

Personally, I prefer the word "LYING."  :)

"Dishonest"
Voiceover:
"This was dishonest."

Mitt Romney:
"I'm not in favor of a $5 trillion tax cut."

Voiceover:
"Romney's being dishonest here too:"

Voiceover from Romney ad:
"According to an Independent, non-partisan study, Barack Obama and the liberals will raise taxes on the middle class..."

Voiceover
"The Chairman of that so-called independent group is from Romney's former company. Dick Cheney's on its board. Newt Gingrich was there too. It's not independent. It's just not true."

Anybody who follows politics knows this is how the game is played.  During the primaries you appeal to your base and during the general election you swing to the middle to appeal to on-the-fence independents and Democrats.

I totally agree, he is a fraud.  I was simply commenting that republican candidates swinging to the middle is not uncommon.

President Obama says Mitt Romney underwent an "extreme makeover" for the debate. MSNBC's Ezra Klein discusses whether "moderate Mitt" is actually moderate with the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart and Politico's Maggie Haberman.




Imagine that. The red-headed stepchild of cable news, whining and crying that their poster boy got his clock cleaned on the big debate stage.

Lefties can spin it all they want. That wasn't an "extreme makeover". It was an extreme @$$-whipping.

Team BSNBC, after their 24-hour mourning fest, got their marching orders from the White House: Let's call Mitt Romney a liar.

Of course, they've yet to explain why, every time Obama kept chirping his falsehoods, Mitt Romney tore him to pieces....to the point where Obama's own deputy campaign manager ACTUALLY ADMITTED ON CNN (the other red-headed stepchild of cable news) that Obama's claim about a $5 trillion tax cut was false.

Throw in Hanky-Gate, Altitude-Gate, Brain-Freeze-Gate, Fear-of-Looking-Like-Angry-Black-Man-Gate and all the other excuses the left keep whimpering to excuse Obama getting clobbered, and you have enough comedy to keep you laughing for days.

ROmney is the master of telling any group what they want to hear.   Nobody denies that.  Repubs HATE him in a big way.  but he had the ground game and the money to outspend the field 6-to-1, even though he was winning primaries with 75% of GOP primary voters voting AGAINST him.  

Now, he can't outspend Obama, who just raised a record 181 million last month (what did romney earn?)
Now, he can't buidl a better ground game than obama - who communitiy organized a HUGE ground operation with much better reach than romney.

He can't hate on obama for anmesty (he supported it), gun control (which obama never did but Romney actually signed a gun bill as gov), for obamacare (as he wrote it for his own stae first), etc.  

His points of attack are very narrow.  Now that the economic debate is over, romney is going to be much less sure of himself when debating the neocon Obama.

I agree the left-wing media outlets kneepad for him... but if you heard Ann Coulter telling Hannity this week about just how much she and her friends LOVE mitt romney, you'd laugh at that kneepadding too.  They all do it.  She HATES his ass.  No way coulter and her friends use the word "magnificent" and "stellar" when talking about mittens - she hated him until he won the nomination.

That being said - WHICH LEFT WING OUTLETS said obama won the debate, coach?

Hardly!!

One, the economy is the NUMBER ONE ISSUE in this race. If Romney can slap Obama down on that, the rest is a piece of cake.

Where's Obama going to go now?

Foreign policy?  Uh.....NOOOOOO!!! We got dead ambassadors and Iran about to get nukes; the Middle East is ablaze. And, NO, screaming "I killed Osama Bin Laden" won't cut it. That was a year and a half ago. Al-Qaeda made it perfectly that killing Bin Laden did virtually NOTHING TO STOP their operations.

Social issues? Good luck there. Abortion? Advantage, Romney; Marriage? Advantage, Romney

Immigration? If Romney hits Obama with half the ferocity that the Univision folks did, Obama is THROUGH!!!

As for money, not only can Romney outspend Obama (heck, the Obama administration has conceded that such will likely happen) but, what's the point of spending if you don't get your money's worth?

As Charles Krauthammer put it, in one night, Romney just vaporized hundreds of millions of dollars blown in attack ads from Obama.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/10/06/krauthammer_romneys_debate_performance_undoes_100_million_worth_of_negative_advertising.html

Furthermore, for Obama to spend all that dough to this point, yet he STILL CAN'T PUT ROMNEY AWAY, that spells trouble for him and his crew, especially given the bounce Romney's getting from pounding the president in the debate.

I'll give romney the win on the economic issue - it is his forte and obama hasn't exaclty been stellar, good, or even average on fixing the economy...

but romney said he woudln't go into pakistan to get OBL... and obama DID.

romney said on tape that we'll never solve the palestine issue - let him lecture obama on his handling of that now.

romney has no foreign policy experience and can't hate on obama for libya because obama di exaclty what the neocons told him to do there.


Obama is going to be better in the foreign policy debate than economic, and romney is far less experienced here.  You'll have the smart ass college kid (romney) telling the grizzled professor (obama in the war dept here) how the world works.  Sorry, no dice, romney loses htis one.

As someone who listened to the Carter/Reagan debates about 32 years ago, I can say that Romney hit "Reagan territory" when he hammered Obama for Obamacare.

Obama will destroy the health care system in this country, as well as Medicare, if we allow him to.

Vote for Obama if you wish, but don't dare complain if you break your hip when you're 80 and you're given a fucking wheel chair rather than a replacement.

CNN and BSNBC.

which anchors said Obama won the debate?   Link please.  A link to a skit on Leno doesn't prove shit, dude. 

Coach's comic said the "MSM" declared him the winner.  I saw ed, maddow, mathews and maher call it a loss, along with CNN.

Unless this is just more victimhood without basis... WHICH anchors declared obama the WINNER of debate #1?
