I was gonna try out this new “butt-chugging” thing that all the kids are doing but apparently it’s a 2-person operation and Mom is at Bingo and when I asked the neighbor lady to lend a hand she slammed the door in my face. Besides, the thought of listening to Obama while I’m buns up and kneeling brings back too many bad memories of 2008.
So I’m doing it the old fashioned way – tequila shooters and beer chasers.
Everybody get a firm grip on your favorite liquor and tell us your thoughts and impressions as we watch tonight’s Mile-High Melee!
Bottoms up!

Michelle and Ann just hugged. I think I saw Michelle whisper “Bitch” in Ann’s ear.
Ann whispered back “Bless your heart.”
And she said “Fatass” back.
I think it was “Your ass is bigger than Rafalca’s”
Then a techie called her RuPaul.
The Giants and Dodgers are playing a totally meaningless game tonight. But somebody forgot to tell the players that the game won’t count.
The condescending prig called McCain “John” at the 08 debate, I’m waiting to see if he goes with Mitt this time too.
Mitt should reply, fine, can I just call you loser then. Or maybe fuck face is more to your liking.
I don’t think I have this politics things down yet.
But the cheers from masses at home would be epic.
ROFL, yep!
Obama being condescending you can take to the bank. “You’re likable enough” ring any bells?
Fucker.
I’m probably in minority, but Leher is old-school. While he may personally be on the left, I doubt he will be antagonist toward Romney nor overly soft on Obama.
I think he still has some journalistic pride left. Hope so, anyway.
yes
BTW — it is the Obama’s anniversary today — remind me who performed the ceremony again?
racist /s
well, we’ve already established that.
If he gets a chance, this is where Romney should announce he
ll work for free.
I’m watching the debate on FOX because Megyn Kelly
Tweet her that picture and say you’re watching.
Tweetered
Let us know when the knock on the door happens.
Are you ready for some footbaaaaall?
You know how obama always puts his hands on people I hope Mitt doesn’t let him
A couple of years ago I saw a clip about Bush always doing pretty good on those handshake power plays. They had a shot with him and Putin and Bush won almost every time. Putin was miffed as he tried to out maneuver Bush with each meeting. Bush was fast as we saw with the flying shoes.
[...] reveals at least some of his major weaknesses. This live blog will be rocking. Actually this one is rocking-er. I’ll be watching on CSpan and FOX, and NECN. On New England Cable News the gorgeous dark [...]
I would pay to see that…
Bret and Chris are wearing matching ties
Politico is now reporting Romney is now leading in “Toss Up and Battleground states”. Hits 50% yeeeeehawww!
Whoa. Even they will admit that.
Oh geesh. Here I am with Ginger Tea and Animal Cookies.
Hey…I can eat an elephant every time Obama zings one. And a mule every time Romney does. In the end… I will count and let ya’ll know how many are left in each category…. 8~P
I want to hear Romney tell Obama “My wife Ann has horses and I know horseshit and that, sir, was horseshit.”
LOL.
I’m glad they’re making them stand for this. I think the one is less likely to pull a number of those sickening grins if he can’t simultaneously lean back in his chair.
And Lehrer can’t offer to fluff Obie’s pillow.
Found Treacher’s link:
http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/03/im-liveblogging-the-debate-for-some-reason/
Romney is as tall as Obama.
Mitt has the more commanding presence .
Oh look, he’s wearing a flag pin.
Ummm, are you sure it’s not his logo?
Bwah!
LOL
Is it an American Flag pin?
Internal polls must really suck
Mitt’s pin is bigger. so much for that myth!
LOL! I see what you did there.
{spit take}
ROFLMAO!!
Red tie Mitt; Blue tie Obama.
Good, Obama goes first.
“twitter seems to be loading slowly”, heh
“Sweetie–we won’t be celebrating our anniversary next year in front of 40 million people” BLECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully it will be celebrated on a volcano in HA.
Obama’s been practicing….but these uhs are going to put me under within minutes.
If I took a drink every time the SCoaMF sputtered “uhhh” or the long winded “aanndd” I’d be dead already.
Vodkapundit’s link’s up:
http://pjmedia.com/blog/drunkblogging-the-first-presidential-debate-2/
Mitts hair is higher
Obama’s doing his Fred Armisten impression
RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE! Obama is kicking himself in the ass for forgetting how narrative sells.
Mitt already won imo
Word!
Oh god Mitt’s already smacking his lips…lemme go get my drink on
I can’t keep up with twitter tonight.
use twitterfall
the bots are out in full force
me neither I am not even gonna try
Ooo…trickle down govt….LOL
I loved that!! Trickle down to his cronies, of course.
Mitt actually answered the question. What a concept.
Obama admit he steals ideas from left and right…oh wait…that isn’t what he meant.
Obama is an amatuer he just avoided a question
Funny math by zero.
He’s a pro at avoiding questions.
He’s really nervous tonight—talking fast. What a surprise.
dick Morris minute by minute commentary:
http://www.dickmorris.com/
Obama is earning his RERUN nickname…
O is nervous and arrogant all at the same time
#denverdebate trickle-down government makes tweety’s leg tingle
Mitt gives love to the middle class. Economy tax….good line.
ooooooooooooooooooooo—–economy tax. Good one….
Holy shit! I did not expect this. Romney is bringing it right to Obama.
Srsly! It’s great!
Yes he is !
I want to hear cage fightin’.
Oh, touche Mitt. Middle income healthcare cost gone up b $2500 a family. That’s the amount The One said Obamacare would bring costs down. LOL
Mitt’s doing good. Looks great too.
Oooh the four letter word…coal.
Wooohoooo!! I’m LOVING IT!!! Obama looks pouty already!!
BTW, I’m drinking Angry Orchard cider (rawr!)
Jealous. Love Angry Orchard.
Obama looks confused
Stuttering as he opens his reply….lol
Specifics on energy production. Not Obama’s version of just listing them.
“Instructive?”
Blech.
I cannot reduce the burden for the upper classes.
Go Mitt!
I liked how Romney used Biden’s “middle-class buried” gaffe against Obama. Electric rates up, food prices up, hlth care costs up.
Liar liar pants on fire uhhh duuuh cannot hold candle to this man
Buy shiny bright objects….exactly what all the bots want to hear.
Obama wants to fix the economy by investing more in education. Ah, maybe someone should let him know our already overeducated youth are living in their parents basement because there are no jobs – the ones who haven’t been foreclosed on.
I like how Mitt’s trying to explain this, the tone he’s using, it’s like that a parent uses with a child when there trying to talk on the child’s level. And he was looking at the one, to the one, it’s like Mitt’s not even there.
is it just me or does Obama seem wreathed in word fog?
Nope….it’s Charlie Brown’s teacher here too. While Romney comes across loud and clear.
He’s stuttering, stumbling. Mitt just goes right to his lies and corrects. Woo-hoo!
The sound of Obama’s voice makes my brain go blank and all I hear is “Wa wa waa wa wah”
He sounds like Charlie Brown’s teacher. Only less “instructive.”
LOL!
look at O smirking at Romney
Mitt’s nailing it on taxes.
ouch on that belief line!
Go Mitt ! Wow
omg LOLOLOLOL keep repeating something so I will believe it !
omg did Mitt just call Obama a liar?
DRINK!
Mule cookie.
*slurp*
Obama is talking in circles. He has no understanding of economics nor policy. It is all strawmen and anecdotal crap. Now he is smirking and shaking his head on the split screen on CSPAN.
That mole grows when he gets angry.
Mitt looks more presidential. Obama’s a pouty boy.
WTF is Obama talking about?
blah blah blah it is zero speak
obviously you don’t speak zero
Mitt’s doing awesome!!! Love that comment about his boys.
Obama has no freaking clue about economics no wonder we are in the massive mess we are in.
WTF is Obama talking about ? Making no sense. Oh he said “like Bill Clinton did” *drink*
Mitt bringing it home on small businesses and their tax rates. And Obama tries to bring a bs line, clearly practiced (he looked down at his notes) to negate it.
Obie is singing Bill’s praises all of a sudden? In 2008 he preferred Reagan, if I recall.
He’s getting under O’s skin. Talking fast, rambling. LOL
Jr doesn’t have a clue about what small or large business is.
I’m taking a drink on every world bambam speaks. I’m already seeing double double.
The head shaking when talking is another Obama tell. He is making it up as he goes. He just pulls in key words he heard somewhere like he is taking a test. There is no comprehension of what he is discussing.
Donald Trump is a small business? Wha? Casino’s are small business? What the hell is he talking about?
LOL, can’t wait for The Donald’s rebuttal on that one !
Obama “millionaires & billionaires” *drink*
Jesus, this is going to be a kegger watch.
“My priority is jobs”
Good line
I love Mitt….sigh
I don’t wanna cost jobs. My priority is jobs.
Your plan would cost 750,000 jobs.
Woo-hoo!
Mitt is waaay easier to listen to
Move on?
IE “Jim I WISH you’d move on to another topic”
is it me or does Obama seems to be meandering?
Obie is back to praising Bill the “Raycist?” This is making me want to puke….
It ain’t you!
Mitt is trying to teach Obama the reality of his policies. Sad that a president has to go to school during a debate.
“Jim you may want to move on to another topic”….Obama surrenders!
We triiiied this. Wah. LOL
Math doesn’t mean what Obama thinks it means.
Only move on after he rambles.
Bill Clinton had a good economy you fool!
hiding behind Bubba…..
Bill Clinton again Obama is lying
This is already so sad. It’s the guy applying for to job explaining how to do it to the one who already has it.
Bama wants a new topic … lol
Obama is repeating what he memorized.
And he can’t get out of it.
Mitt fights for the truth. Go Mitt…Go!
Has Obama implemented any of this stuff he’s chattering about … in the past 4 years?
Implement? He doesn’t even understand what he’s chattering about.
Oh boy the food stamps. YIPPIE
Moving on….. Mitt ate his lunch in the first segment!!
“Deficit spending is immoral.”
He’s right. When it was Bush deficit spending, Obama said the same thing.
Mitt is brilliant on segment 2
You had me at RID US OF OBAMACARE!!
Good line about PBS
I love Big Bird and Mitt
Obama doesn’t understand Laffer curve. He’s an idiot.
LOL…he apologizes to PBS, Jim and Big Bird. At least Mitt is honest.
Mitt speaks a little too fast, IMO.
I think it conveys the urgency people are feeling about….well everything! The one is always mr. cool even and maybe especially when the situation doesn’t warrant it. Only when he’s personally offended does his ire ever truly get up.
That’s funny, Angie. If you came to visit me in Boston (I would love that , BTW) you’d see everyone talks at that speed. My husband grew up in PA, has lived here over 40 years, and he still thinks I talk too fast.
Must be a Southern thang!
“It’s Bush’s fault!”
Mitt is kicking ass.
Blame Bush….took 29 minutes,
Experience or promises. What is more persuasive? Cornyn
He voted for the fucking wars that he is now complaining about.
asshole
Yup….He had some 20 pro war votes or contracts for war cronies as a Senator. Obots hated a link I had for that in 2008….lol
LOL
LOL. going over to twitter, I have to keep refreshing the livebloggers……..will read their transcripts tommorrow
Staying here though, my family
A real debate !!!!!! Vodkapundit said Mitt’s turned Obama into Ron Burgundy … lol.
lmfao!!!
I dropped kick that loser plane, damn I’m good.
“Check my website”
David Burge @iowahawkblog
This apparently the first time Obama has been in a non-tongue bath media situation.
Okay 29 minutes in he went straight to blame Bush. I’m going intraveneous with the rubbing alcohol!
Romney knows how to debate. He’s on fire.
Kicking ass bigtime.
it’s amazing!!! He’s good!! and making O look pathetic….
Seriously … he’s doing waaaay better than I expected. I’m absolutely loving this.
FOUR years… hahahahahaha
from Harp at no quarter
Mitt is debating an empty chair
Dennis Miller Show @DennisDMZ
Romney keeps this up Obama’s gonna vote for him.
Ha ha ha, that’s too funny!!!
Jim, u may want to move off this topic.. Let’s go back to my anniversary
stolen from a friend
I think Mitt may convert Obama to the Mormon faith by the end of this debate
Mitt has absolutely no fear of debating a sitting POTUS, it must be killing Barack.
Jim had to remind Obama what the topic was. LOL
Elizabeth Scalia @TheAnchoress
Wow…Lehrer and Obama have some sort of game going. He’s feeding Obama a point.
Balance approach!? Where is Obama balanced,.
WTF Obama is complaining about corporate welfare!?
Romney running circles around Obama.
woo hoo!!
LOL. Lehrer is Obama’s prompter.
Why is Jim helping Obama ohhh right …
Obama is sinking. He looks out of his element. He should stick to The View bless his heart
Srsly.
Exxon Mobile doesn’t GET all that profit, asshole. The government does, in local, state, and federal gas taxes.
What a fucking idiot.
He’s just saying things he thinks the ordinary Joe wants to hear.
Well, gee…if Obama was president maybe he could do something about that….what a tool!!!
I can’t wait to see how the media explains to us how Obama clearly won!
Obama does not understand what Romney is talking about. He is snagging key words and then going off on double talk tangents. Now Lehrer is trying to lead Obama into a rebuttal because he doesn’t have a frigging clue. He just pulls his key words, corporate jets, oil company, young people, college, teacher. None of it is germane.
Stop interrupting, Obama. It’s childish.
LOL….Mitt can follow Obama’s bs and tries to bring it back to reality.
90 Billion……50 years worth of oil and gas tax breaks….bhahaha!
mitt is fantastic….drink
damn my livefeed keeps stuttering
You PICK THE LOSERS
touche!! O picked only the losers….
“You don’t pick winners and losers, you pick the losers”
WOOT!
He’s been smoking choom again.
Obama only picks losers…..Mitt said in a debate!!! LOLOLOL
“Obama only picks losers”
so did the people who picked him.
Good, Mitt doesn’t know what Obama’s talking about either
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant response. Go Mitt !!!!
“Let states do this.” Boo-yah
May need a new thread up soon? This is moving faster than twitter
OMG—–Obama is sinking fast. Unbelievable. He looks like he doesn’t know what he’s talking about
That’s because he doesn’t!
Shit, grandma is being dragged out from under the bus.
Just a typical white person, until he needs her for his own purposes. Asshat
Obama wants this to end….Mitt is the only one who has had the opportunity to pick apart his word fogs.
Gag me.
Ok so far I am impressed- Mitt is not backing down- when he wants to rebut- he goes right over the moderator and makes his point.
Oh, no, the granny card!
Social Security? Me too! Whatever Romney says. Grandma! Grandma! Grandma!
Yep, Mitt’s a wonk just like Hillary so he’ll try to draft off his replies.
Can’t even understand what Obama is saying…..totally meaninglesss (that’s for the sibilent “s”) very bizarre….
How come it seems like Obama gets to speak longer than Romney?
Moderator is clueless.
It just seems longer.
What a tool, he is still trying to tout the $715 Billion as over payments.
And Mitt brings the compassionate voice.
I keep waiting for David Axelrod to throw a towel on stage.
Where is that icky Burton dude? He should be carrying his water bottle.
LOL Did Valerie bring the white flag?
He’s backstage thinking up excuses for not having a 2nd debate.
“What if we bomb Iran?”
LOL!
I do not think backtrack really expected this.
gee all that practice that was such a drag, did not help
I’ve been in business for 25 years. I have no idea of what you are talking about. Maybe you need a new accountant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s what Mitt said ver batim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
amazing!!!
One correction — he said “maybe *I* need a new accountant”
Did Gov. Romney really say that?? If he did I am putting a yard sign up, and I live in a black neighborhood!! Scary stuff.
YeeHaw Yessssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obamas ears are RED!!!
YeeHAw!
MR says BO is cutting $76 billion from medicare
And the kicker was Obama nodding in agreement during split screen.
$716 billion
Never mind Obama has his own voucher program.
The POS has NO IDEA of what he is talking about. He is lost, floundering, rambling.
Moderator has GOT to stop prompting Barry.
Lehrer is in pain and trying to send the dumbass in the right direction.
AARP supports Obama’s version….that 2 Billion pay off has nothing to do with it of course. /s
Is he talking about his typical white grandmother that he threw under the bus, or the grandmother that lives in a shack in Kenya
Bus grandma.
Bank VP grandma, twice.
Totally glad I tuned in now, Mitt’s in control that’s why
Hard getting on here tonight!! Mitt kicking ass.
So why the fuck did you force me to deal with the insurance companies you ass?
A-fucking-men.
The money comes from taking it out of the physician’s reimbursement. AARP sold out the public.
Take it out of physician’s reimbursement, and fewer physicians take Medicare patients. Fewer physicians means less care.
Fact.
You should see whats coming for diabetics.
Hey we need a new debate thread!!!
am I not understanding Obama because I’m stupid? Or is he just incoherent?
No. Obama is stupid.
Did Romney just say the bailout kissed the banks?
He’s struggling with the concept of getting his ass kicked in front of 50 million people. And incoherent.
It’s not you, Mitt and I agree too
Obama, uh, is trying to stick to talking points, which, uh, may or not be the response/rebuttal.
He’s just clueless, as always!
Obama is going to experiment with vouchers, I hope Romney brings that up.
Woodward also revealed on MOrning Joe today that obama intends to cut $250 billion from Medicare (that’s $250 billion MORE than the $716 billion). True story.
cuz it’s a drag doing your homework
Obama’s been too busy with his day job to prepare, true story.
The biggest kiss to Wall St I’ve ever seen! LOL
LOL!
Love it !
Now Obama is blaming the banks that he forced as a private lawyer in Chicago for making bad loans that he and his ilk demanded. What a hypocrite.
Ahhhh, one of my first blog posts, circa 2008 on just that topic
Obama pretends he didn’t slob-nob Wall St and completely ignored the stats Mitt brought up about small banks going belly up.
Mitt’s right, though. Dodd/Frank hurts small, local banks.
I love how many ways Mitt has of saying “you lie!”
“that’s not the facts”
He contradicts Obama with a sad look on his face that says “poor fool”.
I think OWSers are going to vote for Mitt now, BANKS ARE NOT TOO BIG TO FAIL.
tweetable!
Mitt’s against giving Wall Street banks a blank check. Very good rhetoric and also good policy.
Death panels!
This debate is a massacre.
I’ve never seen anything like it…..lol
A real a$$ whoopin!
Mitt just remembers all those darn facts and Obammer cannot keep up.
Mitt is a wonk
Gimme a wonk over a sparkly unicorn with a rainbow mane anyday
I. want. a. President. Not one of “Carrie Bradshaw’s” dates !
He can’t think very fast can he? He doesn’t have any special knowledge about anything he is talking about. I just thought he was lazy. Not so, he is dumb.
But Obamacare is not f*cking affordable, you POS insurance company sellout.
every single answer Obama gives is just rambling with no central point of any kind. every single answer…..this is the man who is smarter than everyone else?
Romney on the other hand is very Hillary clinton—he’s knows his stuff inside and out…..
Yup.
Yes, Romney is very wonkish, just like Hillary!
Romney has a point by point, logical, well-thought response for everything. Go Mitt. BO….same old talking points he’s used for the last 5 years.
I want Mitt to rip this thing a new one!
He is.
There goes Obamas ears again did he just grunt?
He’s got that obnoxious smirk on his face. I wish they’d ditch the split screen when Romney talks.
I love how Romney looks over at Obama like he can’t wait intil he’s finished bloviating to shoot him down.
Bwahahahaaaahhhaaaa
Obamacare was a bipartisan idea? I don’t think so.
Obama doesn’t understand what bipartisan means.
Stunning. Simply stunning.
Input from both parties…..
Wow! Who ever thought of that?
Mitt Romney!
The Emperor Has NO clothes people. No spin, no media here to save you Mr. President. The WORLD sees that you are in over your head!!
Obama’s voice is getting higher and squeakier. Romney’s voice is getting deeper.
Obama kinda chastises Romney about showing Republicans how to cooperate over health care…LOL
What a hypocrite!
Why doesn’t shithead talk about torte reform?
I like tortes the way they are.
Double chocolate, raspberry filling…yum.
Obama’s voice is getting higher, rofl.
Anyone who doesn’t like Romney’s answer on Romneycare can kiss my ass.
PS — we need new thread — this is too long.
Buying across state lines is essentially a ruse!? WTF
He has his insurance in the bag forever.
Hillary wanted that in her plan
Didn’t the workers at sears and restaurants just lose their coverage because of this?
Sisters and I watching the debate, laughing. Our one young hipster Obama voting nephew styed utterly silent, left the room halfway through. It’s that bad.
When backtrack and Hillary debated, she was so much better, but she still had to answer to the democratic party so she was not as hard on him as she could have been.
McCain did not have his heart in winning
Mitt does want to win and does not owe the democratic party anything and he is kicking ass
True.
WTF is Obama talking about Romney just told him specifically
Obama pretends Mitt didn’t just refute everything he’s saying.
I’m closing this thread. Take it upstairs to the fresh thread.
“Uh, and, duh, uh, well.” Now Obama is getting pissy and whiny.
Funny how explaining things didn’t bother the one when it came to pass it to find out what’s in it!
If you say “my way or the highway,” you don’t get a lot done.
Oh, bravo, Mitt. BRAVO
When we reform Wall Street ? It’s 4 freaking years !!!! Oh, I feel like beating a drum right now /s
