10. I would bet that if....

Obama had called out Romney's every lie, the talk today would be that he wasn't presidential, that he should have maintained his dignity and focused on his own message and leave the dirty work to the news media.

It is the media's job to do the research and report on it. Was Obama suppose to have pulled out his IPhone and say "excuse me while I fact check your last statement."
