Michael Moore: If Romney keeps this up…Obama is going to vote for him!

As is my habit, I skipped the debates last night. I spend every night 8-10 PM reading. Maybe for the next few debates, we’ll live blog like we did in the last election. We’ll see. But apparently, according to the Washington Times, even Michael Moore was disappointed in the President’s performance last night. They screen shot several of his Tweets last night. Among some of the gems were;

“If Romney keeps this up…Obama is going to vote for him!”

“This is what happens when u pick John Kerry as your debate coach.”

Thanks to Jeremy for the link.

Fox News is reporting that both sides are giving the debate to Romney;

Bill Maher, a liberal comedian and TV host who supports Obama, tweeted: “Obama’s not looking like he came for a job interview, Romney so far does.”

Nate Silver, an election-race handicapper who writes the closely watched FiveThirtyEight political blog for the New York Times, wrote: “I’d be surprised if tonight didn’t move the head to head polls some (in Romney’s direction.)”

Chris Matthews wasn’t feeling the tingle last night says Real Clear Politics;

“I don’t know what he was doing out there. He had his head down, he was enduring the debate rather than fighting it. Romney, on the other hand, came in with a campaign. He had a plan, he was going to dominate the time, he was going to be aggressive, he was going to push the moderator around, which he did effectively, he was going to relish the evening, enjoying it,” Matthews said.

“Here’s my question for Obama: I know he likes saying he doesn’t watch cable television but maybe he should start. Maybe he should start. I don’t know how he let Romney get away with the crap he throughout tonight about Social Security,” Matthews complained.

Matthews then demanded that President Obama start watching cable news, specifically his program.

Yeah, well, when your four years have been a disaster, it’s kind of hard to defend it, ya know. And when you know that everyone who criticizes you is going to marginalized as “racists” you can half-assed perform and get away with it.
