and as far as I can see President Obama is schooling him pretty handily..but wait.. tomorrow morning all we will hear is how bad Obama did and how great Romney was..but during the Romney interview it was obvious thry were scripted questions well rehearsed.These badstards...CBS now owned by a right wing magnet and I hope that CBS will be the main network to cover Romeny's concession speech.

I may not bother watching.

And Kroft has always been his favorite "60 Minutes" journalist.

Go figure.

12. Yeah. I don't think he gave Romney a hard time, though.

I don't know for sure, because I hit the MUTE button when that nasty turd was on. Didn't feel like listening to his lies. Kroft was all smiles during those segments, so I am betting it was all softballs.

I think I'm going to skip the whole thing-- it starts here on the West Coast in 45 minutes. From the reviews I'm seeing here, I just may decide to rotate my canned goods instead.

14. I was doing something so not paying 100% attention, but I heard the interviewer....

stop Romney's answer once, when Romney started answering something about a policy of his by saying that Obama blah blah blah....anyway, the interviewer stopped him and said that "well, but we're not talking about Obama right now. We're talking about your position."

I think it was a question about Romney changing his position on abortion. Romney tried to answer that Obama changed HIS position on gay marriage (something like, "Oh, yeah? Well, HE started it!&quot

16. He's incapable of relating to 'Everyman,' and that will never change.

Yep--that's the spoiled-rotten mindset of the mittster. I can see so clearly WHY parents are doing a grave disservice to their kids by spoiling them. By the time they grow up, they're woefully ill-equipped to deal with the 'real world.'
