I took some notes of comments made in the room as I watched the last debate. It’s a little late to be publishing them, but my computer was in hospital until yesterday.
It’s interesting that President Obama thinks that Americans who earn $250,000 are in the top 2 per cent of wage earners.
Romney pays a lower tax rate than bus driver, only if you forget that he pays taxes twice, first at the corporate level and then again at the personal level.
Mitt’s plan will not costs 5 trillion because with lower corporate rates we’ll have twice as many people paying taxes.
Obama, “Your plan lacks specifics.  Americans would never take  such a sketchy deal.”  Oh, but we did, with you.
“Millions of women rely on Planned Parenthood.”  I invest heavily in charitable issues that are important to me.  If Planned Parenthood is so important to you, donate to it. 
It’s insulting that Romney said, “They brought in binders full of qualified women.”  But not that Obama’s white house pays it’s female staffers 13% less than it’s male staffers.
This will not be another Bush White House.  George bush was a liberal.
Romney, “Our party has been focused too much on big business. I'm for small business.”  Yeah!
Obama, “It’s tax cuts that took us Down.”  No. It’s Frannie and Freddie that Bush warned about over and over again, but Obama and his Dem buddies used the warning as a charge of racism.
It’s so annoying that he keeps going back to George Bush
“Osama is dead,” but the monster lives. And you blew the cover of the doctor who helped you find him.  Think anyone will trust you now?
“We passed toughest Wall Street reforms in history.”  Yes.  Reforms so complicated they make it impossible for small businesses to comply.  Only huge companies have the resources and staff to sort through the garbage.  Dodd Frank is for shit.
Same health care as Massachusetts.  If a state legislature decides to devise a method for handling health care, that’s fine.  For the feds it’s unconstitutional.  I don’t care what the Supreme Court Says.  It’s unconstitutional
You had two years with full majorities and you made no attempt, not one to devise an immigration plan.  Don’t tell me you care about the problems undocumented immigrants deal with. Oh, he did help the immigrant problem.  He sent them guns so they could shoot their way in.”
You also had two years to resolve entitlement issues.  You made NO attempt.  Don’t tell me you care.
You said you’d cut the deficit in half.  You made no attempt.  Don’t tell me you care.
The Arizona law lets officers stop people just because they look illegal.” Liar, Liar, pants on fire.
I sat down with Republicans and Democrats and begged them to fix the system.”  Liar, liar pants on fire.
“Mitt Romney is the last person to challenge China.  His portfolio is heavily invested in China.”  So is yours asshole.
“I called it a terrorist attack the very next morning in the Rose Garden.”  Two problems.  First, if you knew it was a terrorist attack, why did you skip your morning intelligence briefing and fly off to party Vegas.  Second, why did you spend the next two weeks trying to convince us that it was a stupid film that no one watched? 
“Replay that gibberish.  What did he say?  He met with her two months ago and then 3 months later, and then one month before???  It makes no sense. He's so full of shit.” 
“I believe in the 2nd amendment.  I understand that people like to hunt, but we don’t need AK47s for that.”  He doesn’t understand the 2nd amendment.  It has nothing to do with hunting.  It has everything to do with the fact that if a citizenry is well armed, they have less a chance of being overrun by totalitarian rule.
He wants to “Catch violent impulses before they occur”?  What does that mean?  Is he suggesting that we do some kind of DNA scan and try to eliminate the violently inclined at birth?
He has cut taxed 18 times. Yeah for those who don't pay taxes.
 “When I was president.”  Ah, Freudian slip. He already sees himself as a past president.
“I believe in free enterprise and self-reliance.  Everybody should do their fair share and play by the same rules.”  What a joke!
The whole energy debacle.  In fact  off shore permits cut by 62% and on-shore cut by 1/3. 
“We can't elect someone who thinks women should not work outside the home.”  Romney hired more women in top positions in Massachusetts than any other governor in any other states, percentage wise more that Obama has in the White House.
Obama is “Deliberate in his dishonesty.”
