Election 2012: Third Presidential Debate

3rd & 7 37yd

I agree the moderator needs to take back the debate.

by Suzie 10/23/2012 1:37:05 AM
Why do they keep lapsing into their tired old comments? Get back to foreign policy.

by mags26 10/23/2012 1:37:12 AM
thank you, bob

Moderator! please

by mmt 10/23/2012 1:37:13 AM
I'm bored.

by DaliSalvadorAde 10/23/2012 1:37:21 AM
Schieffer is now impersonating Jim Lehrer.

by Frank James / NPR 10/23/2012 1:37:28 AM
the Moderator has gone to sleep.. he totally is ineffective!

by Jayne Iuliano 10/23/2012 1:37:32 AM
Obama 'promised' 5.4 percent unemployment? Mostly False. ow.ly #debates

They are waaaay off track here...why doesn't the moderator bring them back...nothing is being said that has not been said before

by Katherine 10/23/2012 1:37:33 AM
class size most certainly makes a difference on many levels. ask any teacher...but what about foreign policy.

by worried 10/23/2012 1:37:41 AM
Paging Candy Crowley!

by Frank James / NPR 10/23/2012 1:37:49 AM
Please Bob!

by Dots 10/23/2012 1:37:52 AM
@steinlover : Romney actually borrows Obama's phrases frequently.

by RoadNinja 10/23/2012 1:37:56 AM
This isn't foreign policy!

by Marylou 10/23/2012 1:38:00 AM
No. No more domestic. I call shenanigans.

by Dee 10/23/2012 1:38:00 AM
I wonder how much self control it takes for both of them NOT to roll their eyes at each other???

by Julie 10/23/2012 1:38:08 AM
First audible reaction in the press room when Schieffer says "Let me get back to foreign policy." And Romney is back on education...

by Ari Shapiro via twitter 10/23/2012 1:38:12 AM
OMG, Bob. Come on!

by D Scully 10/23/2012 1:38:16 AM
This "debate" is turning into a "muddle."

by Marilyn Geewax / NPR 10/23/2012 1:38:28 AM
I'm annoyed with everyone involved right now. Where did Bob go???

by AnneMi 10/23/2012 1:38:28 AM
Don't know if MR got the message that being snippy doesn't work in debates.

by Kai Ryssdal via twitter 10/23/2012 1:38:31 AM
so much for foreign policy

by Nathan Arizona 10/23/2012 1:38:44 AM
Bob finally grabs the airplane controls back.

by Frank James / NPR 10/23/2012 1:38:44 AM
LORRAINNNE!!! RT @joliemyers: @kairyssdal It is Bob, right? RT Hello, Bob? Bob Schieffer? This is a foreign policy debate, right?

by Kai Ryssdal via twitter 10/23/2012 1:38:57 AM
When a moderator says "get back on track", you need to listen...they are the "ref", if you ignore the ref and argue, you get ejected!

by Gromimd 10/23/2012 1:39:01 AM
I can't wait for the next debate, which is going to be about foreign policy.

by Ken Rudin via twitter 10/23/2012 1:39:05 AM
What's with MR and the strong Navy thing? I mean, I'm biased (8 years USN) but this is news to me.

by Kai Ryssdal via twitter 10/23/2012 1:43:12 AM
Romney wants to add $2T to defense that it didn't ask for it. True. ow.ly #debates

by PolitiFact via twitter 10/23/2012 1:43:12 AM
So, does it turn out that even the men running for president only have the attention span to focus on foreign policy for about 30 minutes?

by nealcarruth via twitter 10/23/2012 1:43:24 AM
I thought the first debate was boring, but this one takes the cake

by Kathy 10/23/2012 1:43:24 AM
Romney just said he will balance the budget. Just a reminder: The Ryan budget plan would not balance the budget until 2040.

by Marilyn Geewax / NPR 10/23/2012 1:43:28 AM
The fact they are talking about the economy again is a reflection on what is most important to us Americans as a whole

by Chad2012 10/23/2012 1:43:36 AM
Wait, really? RT @BCAppelbaum: Romney: "I'm going to be able to balance the budget."

by Kai Ryssdal via twitter 10/23/2012 1:43:48 AM
I vote for the StarWars system upgrade, give everyone lightsabers

by Matthew A Smith 10/23/2012 1:43:52 AM
I like Romney except for his position on military spending. We need less military spending

by Dots 10/23/2012 1:44:01 AM
Romney: Owned!

by Obama12 10/23/2012 1:46:16 AM
Obama: we Do have fewer ships than in 1916. We also have fewer horses and bayonets. #debate

by InaJaffeNPR via twitter 10/23/2012 1:46:20 AM
Can we just stipulate they'll both stand with Israel? Let's move on.

by Kai Ryssdal via twitter 10/23/2012 1:46:23 AM
Sarcasm doesn't sound good coming out of a President

by Gtcimmi6 10/23/2012 1:46:24 AM
RT @aallington: "these ships that go under water" #zing

by Kai Ryssdal via twitter 10/23/2012 1:46:27 AM
Stop blaming this mess on Bob. When he gave them his word, he kept it. This is the format he promised them he'd deliver.

by D Scully 10/23/2012 1:46:32 AM
When Obama said that Bayonet line, Romney looked like you told him that his dog just died!

by JD 10/23/2012 1:46:37 AM
The navy projects American military power around the world. Hard to get special forces to Pakistan without ships.

by Alexandra 10/23/2012 1:46:40 AM
And an uber-meme is started. RT @ebogjonson: the 80s called, it wants its binders full of bayonets back

by Kai Ryssdal via twitter 10/23/2012 1:46:52 AM
I will stand w/ Israel if attacked." Guess nobody even thinks to ask Congress anymore
