This would be a short post, only describing briefly my impressions of the Presidential debate that took place in Denver an hour or two ago.
1. Obama looked tired. The presidency seemed to weigh on him.
2. Obama's grin looked genuine, Romney's was like the Cheshire Cat's.
3. Romney abused and dominated the moderator, insisting on getting more time to speak, respond out of turn, etc. Some may consider it endearing or masculine. To me Romney appeared like a testosterone laden bully, one of those bosses who make you stay late Friday night to review a two sentence memo, only to show you they can.
4. There were so many numbers, lies, obfuscations and so on that I could not make ends of tails of facts on the matter.
5. Interesting Romney themes include pushing Medicare and Medicaid to the states, giving Federal funds to private and religious schools, and creating 12 zillion jobs (by REALLY concentrating on job creation, which will bring the magic of the free market to rain them from the sky, no doubt).
May God and/or Nature have mercy on us all. We sure need it.
