Romney lying again about the President claiming 5.4% unemployment.
Romney says Obama “said by now [unemployment] would be down to 5.4 percent.” But Romney is referring to a speculative report issued at the beginning of Obama’s presidency containing projections — not promises. Those projections relied on prevailing economic models that quickly proved to have underestimated the depths of the recession at that time.

It's standard GOP propaganda to take anything Obama says, bill it as a promise, and claim Obama lied because it wasn't fulfilled.
It's almost at the point where if Obama said "good morning" and it rained, there is a chance that Fox would be billing it as "Obama's WeatherGate Coverup."

As Governor of California, Reagan signed into law the "Therapeutic Abortion Act", in an effort to reduce the number of "back room abortions" performed in California.[26] As a result, approximately one million abortions would be performed; Reagan blamed this on doctors, arguing that they had deliberately misinterpreted the law.[25] At the time that the law was signed, Reagan had been in office for four months, and stated that had he been more experienced as governor he would not have signed it.[27] He then declared himself to be pro-life.

Romney was trying to get at the latest far right Fox Fake talking point that Obama is covered by the Illinois state retirement plan, which owns mutual funds, one or more of which owns some Bain stock or some foreign investments.
Fox was billing that as their "he does it too" by pretending that was equivalent to Romney actually running a company that is a leader in outsourcing American jobs.

He'll be here shortly to pimp which "undecided" poll shows Romney winning the debate.

Conservative Twitter focus on time, questions, questioners, format, etc. suggests belief that Romney has struggled tonight. #debates

Nothing. But Romney is desperate to get the topics back to things he's memorized zingers and talking points for.

Candy - you don't bring the labor "back".
Other people work cheaper than Americans.

At this time, they have no incentive to do that.

I guess we will soon see. But you don't know the answer to that question either.
The point is Obama needed a really good night and he is having one. The proof will be in who's whining and crying afterwards in terms of perception.

Yes Apple is manufacturing in China because of Chinese counterfeits. Idiotic. Mitt would like our American minimum wages to be the same as Chinas.

Romney's answer to returning manufacturing? Have Americans make less than Chinese workers then jobs will come to America.

Questions suck.
At least try. For the sake of the nation...
I have to say that Bob Woodward has been correct in his latest book on President Obama.
