Hallefuckinglujah! President Obama is coming back. He's making salient points, he has passion, he's personable, charismatic and engaging. I am so relieved.


Romney, I want to punch him in the neck.

I agree that Romney is doing well and that the President lost some good opportunities. But I bet it will poll at a draw or close to it, perhaps with Romney having the edge.

I lost my feed at the very end. :(

this made me chuckle. :)

He killed Romney on the 47% at the end. This was possibly Obama's best debate going back to 2008.

i'll hold your purse

I have got audio feed of MSNBC and Chris Matthews says Obama prevailed. I hope he's right.

Rachel said it was the best debate of the President's career.

Anyway, whew. The man showed up. So relieved.

I'd like to watch this... **cracking up**

Thanks! Oh my god, he irks me to no end. I cannot express the depth of my chagrin that he was the Governor of my state for four years. I still cannot quite wrap my mind about that.

I think Romney has shot himself in the foot in his mouth tonight. Do you suppose he puts masking tape on his sideburns when he colors his hair?

Now, who's holding my shoes?

DAMN. I wish I had not missed that last minute or so. He brought up the 47 percent? Good for the President.

i've got 2 hands.

They need to let Whoopi Goldberg moderate the next debate.

She'd sit Mitt down so quick his sideburns would fly off.

This has to be the best line in the history of BFP.

I wanted to see what Fox was saying, to see if they were jubilant. They are not. One guy said that it was about a draw with Romney doing better the first half and Obama better the second. So the whole thing -- he said -- was a draw with Obama having the edge.

I have to say that I thought Romney did better than that. But I am excited to see that Fox isn't excited. They're now bitching about Crowley's confirmation of Obama's point re Benghazi. :)

I thought Candy did well. Romney only ran over her once, and she sure got revenge when she confirmed Obama's point re Benghazi. That hurt Romney big time.

He's afraid of Whoopi. He has said as much.
