\"4Debate\"<\/font><\/p>\n

I sat down to watch last nights Presidential debates expecting Barack Obama to clean the floor with Willard Romney.  I was shocked!  If you missed the debate, I\u2019m including the complete video for you to see for yourself.  The worst performance of the evening was by Jim Lehrer.  He allowed Romney to dominate him, rudely and petulantly, throughout the night.   He gave Romney the last word in every segment, and failed to insist that Romney answer the questions asked.  Barack Obama was lethargic.  His normal animation was AWOL.  He appeared detached and disinterested.  He allowed himself to be attacked in the most despicable fashion and did not fight back.  From a perspective of style, Romney was the clear winner.  He appeared poised and confident.  He attacked Obama without rancor.  However, there was one problem that will come back to haunt him.  The policies and positions of the Romney at the debate had absolutely nothing in common with the policies and positions of the Romney that has been campaigning for months.<\/font><\/p>\n

First, here is the debate video:<\/font><\/p>\n
