My Internet went out for a bit, but sadly, the MSNBC feed of the debate was not interrupted. I hope you’re reading this after the debate, because we’ve got fifty minutes to go, and it’s just getting more painful as it drags on…

Social Security is a tough issue to go on the attack on, and Obama’s not quite up to it: “It is common sense that we’re going to have to do something about it. That’s not a Republican talking point.”

Obama gets a softball about Romney mistaking his name for Osama.

“I don’t pay much attention to what Mitt Romney has to say. At least this week. It may be different next week.”

Also let us not ignore that the question from Brian Williams uses “Swift-boating” as a synonym as an unfair attack.
