In reply to the discussion: 67 million viewers vs. 3 million viewers. And we wonder why Obama never mentioned the 47% [View all]MotherPetrie
(3,145 posts)But instead, Obama just let Mitt spew and spew, offering only weak challenges and, even worse, stating several times that he AGREED with Mittens!
Please stop fooling yourself -- Obama blew it and all the rationalizing his debate performance away doesn't change that fact. He let Mittens steamroll him.
To excuse Obama's lack of mention of the 47% as a superior chess move does not fly with me. Obama should have raised it, and beat Mittens over the head with it relentlessly and called him on his lies when he lied about it.
Obama did none of that. To say I was disappointed in his debate performance is putting it mildly. I may be a Democrat, I may have gone to an Obama rally, I may have donated all the money I can to his campaign, but I am not going to fool myself that Obama didn't blow the debate. He did.
