In reply to the discussion: Romney Backs Away From Own Tax Plan [View all]Jessy169
(602 posts)19. Obama was stunned by the lies and the bullshit
As was I. It is unbelieveable how Romney can stand in front of the camera and a national audience and lie so blatently, misrepresent facts so easily, and do it all with an energy and "crispness" that admittedly I don't think I've seen from Romney (except in his private 47% video). It is almost as if Romney is most comfortable when he's spewing the lies. Obama could have started disputing and trying to counter the lies and falsehoods, but he didn't -- too many of them. Romney stunned me too, and I was just sitting here watching.

I cross my fingers and hope you're right - that there won't be many defectors in either direction...

True but Romney has to live with what he said. It was good as a strategy to throw the president off,

Mitt's lies have energized my wife. She is pissed. And she's not very political.

THAT's the ticket!! Nothing Romney said tonight squared with the things he's said in the past!
