Obama also called Mitt out for his false claim that his (Romney's) health care plan would still cover those with preexisting conditions.

No one seems to have caught that one either.

Obama also refuted the $716m Medicare lie that ROmney's been telling. I saw one count where Romney repeated that lie 10 different times.
