Near the end of the first Denver debate segment on the economy and jobs, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney took a commanding stance — hammering the president over high electric rates, higher food and health care costs, and burdensome small business taxes.

President Obama, who rarely looked directly at his opponent and instead repeatedly turned to PBS moderator Jim Lehrer, began one of his last parries with Romney by stating:


“Jim, you may wanna move on to another topic.” :igive:





Twitter reaction was fast, furious, and fiery:

Obama surrenders :igive:

I win either way, Romney wins the rest of America will win. If Obama wins, four more years of the same shit. Does not bother me, since I am well off, but for all those idiots that pull his name again, enjoy your welfare, unemployment, being homeless. The white corporate devils are going to sit around and wait Obama out.

and you are one of the reasons why America will die. because you believe it's better to beat down the other side than to see that your own candidate is also out to enslave you. pathetic.
 
Completely dishonest. He asked it as a question.

Jim, I -- you may want to move onto another topic, but I -- I would just say this to the American people. If you believe that we can cut taxes by $5 trillion and add $2 trillion in additional spending that the military is not asking for, $7 trillion -- just to give you a sense, over 10 years, that's more than our entire defense budget -- and you think that by closing loopholes and deductions for the well-to-do, somehow you will not end up picking up the tab, then Governor Romney's plan may work for you.

But I think math, common sense, and our history shows us that's not a recipe for job growth. Look, we've tried this. We've tried both approaches. The approach that Governor Romney's talking about is the same sales pitch that was made in 2001 and 2003, and we ended up with the slowest job growth in 50 years, we ended up moving from surplus to deficits, and it all culminated in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

Bill Clinton tried the approach that I'm talking about. We created 23 million new jobs. We went from deficit to surplus. And businesses did very well. So, in some ways, we've got some data on which approach is more likely to create jobs and opportunity for Americans and I believe that the economy works best when middle-class families are getting tax breaks so that they've got some money in their pockets, and those of us who have done extraordinarily well because of this magnificent country that we live in, that we can afford to do a little bit more to make sure we're not blowing up the deficit.
