Last week, Mitt Romney had Barack Obama on the ropes in the debate game. Tuesday, Obama showed us he’s not falling for the okie-doke. Romney wasn’t as flustered as, say, Paul Ryan versus Joe Biden; but Obama called Romney’s bluff on several issues. Meanwhile, we knock our athletes for not being politically involved, but this election has brought their opinions to the forefront.

Use the fact checker, Sir!
When President Obama and Mitt Romney go back and forth saying the other one is lying. How do you know who to believe? Lol!

God I want @barackobama to punch Mitt in the face during this #debate. That would be awesome!

That might do it for @mittromney. Beautiful compilation of statistics reflecting the failure of the current administration over last 4 yrs

America isn’t a company, so it isn’t that simple.
So does it come down to this? If u were to start a new company, which candidate do u want to run it? Easy answer

He needs more people.
I really think he forgot about the 47% of americans he really dont give 2 cents about. He irk me!

Since you aren’t in the playoffs, guess you have time for victim-shaming?
Probably shouldn't be said BUT when Romney says 47% of Americans consider themselves victims, this is true... #Debate
