Yes. I am.
I'm always glad when Lehrer is a moderator. I once was able to ask him a question on the Diane Rehm show regarding the debate he moderated with Bush Sr. "No cheers, boo's applause, hisses" Interesting to see them shake hands after so much vitriolic language/ads.
Yeah, Romney looks better thus far. Carrying himself with more confidence. Better use of humor too with the "I have 5 sons" line.
Obama's "If you think you can give a 5trillion dollar tax cut and add 2 trillion in defense spending and pay for it by cutting loop holes".... was effective. Lehrer needs to reign them in.
The "you put $90 billion -50 years worth in to solar and wind" -Romney is clearly getting the better of Obama right now imo.
"If your 54 or 55 you might want to listen" -looking directly in to camera. -Well played Mr. President.
Well delivered "good lines" makes him appear much more capable. He is on the offensive, Obama needs to reclaim the offense. But I guess that is the role of the incumbent.
Obama has got to be hoping for a subject change. Economy out the gate isn't exactly what he would have elected for imo
