1. How? For those of us who can't get in. n/t

3. They are using Hannity talking points to try to trap him but he's

being himself. He's good at handling objections.

[EFerrari]

6. Yes, he is. And I've no doubt he knew he was going to be target. Thanks!

[Squatch]

2. Right now, I think it's a draw...

both are responding to BULLSHIT peripheral "issues"

[Cha]

4. I would hope that Obama knew

by now that a fucking ambush was in the making.

5. Yes, he's amazing!

[FrenchieCat]

7. I agree....he is holding his own....with the enquirer/Globe/Fox attacks....

Bill Clinton pardonned those weatherman members that were convicted. Cut their sentence by 24 years!

10. I know

how are they going to respond to that?

[YDogg]

8. I concur on both points

[uponit7771]

9. Yeap, he confronted them....hopefully they'll change the toon...this is not hannity

[LTR]

11. Damn straight

It's a sleazy superficial debate, but I kinda like it. It's about how he can hold his own.

12. Obama destroyed them with his answer about Americans not caring

about these distractions and caring more about kitchen table issues. Watching the focus group, he peaked throughout that answer.

13. This is a coup for Obama!!!!

Seriously, folks. Don't be upset or dismayed by this debate.

They're asking him these questions, which Obama takes as an opportunity
to set the record straight and talk truth.

When he answers these ridiculous charges (flag pins, Weather Underground, bitter), he
melts these issues away, and brings people over to his side.

I feel as if the questioners are on Obama's side! They're giving him a platform to win
more votes and to de-fang the arguments against him.

Clinton is standing there like a useless tree stump.

14. He has a diplomatic way of taking their distractions and ripping

them a new ass with it and diplomatically handing it back. LOL
