Yeah, he came out strong. 8 days of practice paid off. Obama just started to push back. Looks like a good 3 debates.
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
