I am not. Can not stand to watch Obama lie and not answer the questions.
I think that if you watch the debates to decide who you will vote for you will be a very uninformed voter.

 I have watched the whole thing.  Obama was improved from his last performance..but not enough. There were some good exchanges.
  One particular case was where Gov Romney called Obama when he admitted that just the morning after, he said the attack on the  installation was a "terrorist attack"..yet he sent ambassador Rice to say some 5 days hence, the attack was because of a stupid video.
  Then "Fast & Furious" came up and it was a massacre..Obama didn't even try to defend the mess but spun-spun away from the question..
  Some questions were rather dense..One asked how Romney was different than Bush..when clearly, the election is between Romney and Obama.
 
 Obama's  Libya terrorist attack answer was a clear screw up...he convicted himself..as well as the "fast & Furious" question.
 
   Closer this time..but Romney was still much more "presidential", and commanded the podium much better..more mature adult..

obama called Romney a liar wayy to many times.
I would have more respect for Romney if he would've just once ...knocked obama on his ass!
You know obama was told to stop looking at his feet liked a whipped pup like he did inthe first debate.
So now he comes out like a kid on the playground calling the other kids a liar.

  As I already indicated, Romney had more "presence"..more presidential, adult and dignified..still, both will claim a "win"..
  I'm watching Frank Luntz with his focus group..  Former Obama supporters have mostly left.    They view Romney as more "presidential'..  This was one of Frank Luntz's 'undecided' focus groups which have reflected very accurately, what the general public shows over following days..and with them, there was another swing toward Romney.  Perhaps a bit over half, by show of hands had voted for Obama in 2008..by show of hands, all but about 3 had switched to Romney..This focus group surprised me, as I didn't expect any such major change.
 
  Obama seems to look more like "Urkel" every time..

Obama  did not need to call Romney a liar, just play previous campaign clips. I can actually REMEMBER things he said, 2,8,12 years ago. It is pretty plain he is putting out whatever he thinks needs to be said. I don't have much love for "O", but don't pee down my leg and try to tell me it is raining.
Whatever happens, it ain't gonna be a day at the beach....... :(

I watched to see just how many more lies THE LIAR could tell and I wasn't disappointed.
The one spot I really liked was when Romney hammered him on THE LIAR'S pension being kept in China.
He repeatedly asked him if he knew where it was and then said I will tell you, it's in China.
The mod stepped in and went to the next question and THE LIAR didn't even try to answer.
All he could say was that Romney was getting way off topic.
I think Romney did a great job again and THE LIAR was better then he was the first time around.
Both sides will claim this one!!!

  That moderator stepped in to save Obama's bacon a couple or three times.  As LONGTOM says, when Romney had Obama cornered on Obama's pension being invested in China and holding offshore, Cayman accounts..she interrupted.  When Mitt had Obama cornered on the Libya issue ..she threw the flag again..
   She may have worked to save the liar-in-chief...but the audience saw it!  Here is the Frank Luntz focus group; I have been observing them and they have been remarkably prescient after each debate..calling it just about exactly as the voters have seen it each time.
    The group is composed primarily of those wh supported Obama in 2008..  http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/10/16/luntz_focus_group_of_mostly_former_obama_voters_switch_to_romney.html

After watching both debates I've come to the conclusion that used car salesmen have much higher morals than these two liars.

If points were awarded for most deceptions, lies and platitudes, Obama takes it hands down.  If points were subtracted for chances missed to nail Obama flat, Romney lost.
 
I was screaming at the tube, but it's plain that Romney didn't hear me.  I know it's tough to think that quickly, but man, Romney missed some really wide open shots.

One of the good things that is coming out of this is . We may not care for either one of these candidates, but this is a far cry from what we saw in 2008.
One of the things that put a burr under my saddle back then was, just when Palin had Obama on the ropes over his comments about the coal industry in Ohio.
Obamas fraternal grand mother died, and the entire country went into mourning putting him over the top,for such an important person that no one had ever seen.   


Then for days afterwards there was very little mention about this event,not even much if any news about her funeral. At work I was called cold hearted by my coworkers for even mentioning this.
But it is my job to deal with people everyday who lie, and who are in denial of their actions.
And Obama is a text book case if I have ever seen one. But in all fairness, just about all of these
politicians are starting to get that way so I can't just blame him alone on this .


Sometimes I am fortunate enough to work with a homicide detective who is with the LAPD. This man
has incredible insight,it's almost like a gift with him. And when he starts scratching his head over
something it's usually a real good bet that something just doesn't add up.
He told me once,to listen very closely to what they say right at first. And remember what they said.
Because once cornered,a lier will change their story all around to evade your questions and get things
off on a tangent. And in MHO, all these politicians are a prime example of this.

normally I wouldn't ask, but you mention, so... what is your job?

I was glad to see Romney explain that he had been away from Bain for 8 years and that a portion of Obama's blind trust was invested in China and the Caymen Islands. Judging by the look on Barry's face, he didn't see that one coming. They started to scratch the surface of Fast and Furious and some other issues Obama's been sliding on. I thought the issue of equal pay for women had been settled years ago. It turns out all the Lily Ledbetter law does is extend the statute of limitations for women who want to sue because the feel they have been descriminated against. In the end I'm guessing each party things their guy won.
