Hello? Can you two see me? I'm the one that is supposed to be running this.

 
Robert M

Okay, so now you two know the ground rules. So let's get started and may the "best" liar win!!!

 
Robert M

President Obama, since you lie better, why don't we start with you.

 
Robert M

I want to be as impartial as I can, so Mr. President, you will get the "softball" questions and Mr. Romney, you will get the "hardball" questions.

 
Robert M

Mr. President, I'm going to have to stop you right here because you sir are telling way too many lies for anybody to actually believe you.

 
Robert M

Mr. President, before we begin, you are going to have to give me that miniature teleprompter that you were going to use to get your answers.

 
Wazee

Because Romney wants to cut PBS funding, you both know I'm going to try and frame the President's responses and clue him into the narrative.

 
Wazee

Stop it right there! Who am I and what am I doing here?

 
gpop

Ok Mr. President Let me see If I can help you answer at least one Question so that you will stop looking like a complete idiot!

 
Bender

For the last time, Mr. President, you don't need to answer in the form of a question.

 
Socialismis4Sissies

OK, the next question is on economics. We'll start with you, Mr. President. How many hands am I holding up?

 
Socialismis4Sissies

Stop Mr. Romney! You are not allowed to make the President look like a complete moron.

 
Socialismis4Sissies

Leher pretends to be a telepromter to put the President at ease.

 
Spaceangel

Whoa! Never has so much bullshit been flung at me by the incumbant. Mr. Romney, you have 2 minutes to put on hipwaders.

 
Spaceangel

Damnit Barry, I'm sending you signals like a baseball coach, you're just lost without the teleprompter.

 
T.R.

Gentlemen, thank you for being here. Especially you, Mr. President, given that I am not David Letterman or Baba Wawa.

 
T.R.

Mr. President, thank you for taking time out of your busy vacation, campainging and fund raising schedule to attend this debate.

 
T.R.

Mr. President, thank you for taking time out of your busy vacation, campaigning and fund raising schedule to attend this debate.

 
Dlshow101

"OK I know you are both politicians, and this is asking a lot, but i need a honest answer to the following question: How many fingers am I holding up?"

 
thunderfrog

No, no, Mr. President, I need you to look at me, the moderator, not your podium.

 
Jackstraw

Mr. President, since there is no teleprompter, please stick with the script.

 
Bender

Wait, guys, I am really sitting here – I'm not just an empty chair. Guys?

 
Bender

Mr. President that hidden teleprompter in the heel of your shoe violates the rules.

 
kcwest

OK, before we begin I just want to let you know there is a technical issue with the teleprompters.

 
Spaceangel

Whoa, hold on now Mr. Romney! I cannot have you discussing the constitution when the President does not recognize it as a viable document.

 
Chloe

Now now Mr. President there is no need to bring in Nancy Pelosi.

 
IvaBigun

2 men enter. 1 man leaves. Welcome to thunder dome.

 
IvaBigun

Let's get ready to rumble!

 
kua5bk

Mr. President, even I don't believe that answer. Lets try again!

 
Mugsy1965

Rule #1. I am NOT the "Prey" I am the moderator!

 
Indyken

Mr. President, I haven't seen an ass pounding like that since Rubin Studdard beat Clay Akin.

 
Indyken

So we can both agree, The President & I lend our support to you, Governor Romney.

 
DonkeyH8R

After this debate we're left with an empty black box, a governor, and a weird dark rectangle between them.

 
freddy

That's good mr president. The bigger your smile the more lies you can get away with.

 
charley

You know the rules…the President talks all he wants while I constantly interrupt Romney.

 
KooKKy

I'm just confused with the red on the left and the blue on the right.

 
KooKKy

No, no, no Mr. President! You will NOT be allowed to show Bin Laden's remains.

 
fourmoreyearsNOT

"5 dollar… 5 dollar… 5 dollar foooot looongs…"

 
KooKKy

I'll take stupid VPs for 800, Alex.

 
KooKKy

Okay, now, let me just start by asking for your Name and Place of Birth.

 
KooKKy

"No Mas"

 
papabear

You… I want to beat you to death with this microphone. You… I want to give you a "Lewinsky!"

 
charley

May the best man have his base re-energized!

 
POTSman

"Mr. President, you'll get extra points tonight by presenting your TRUE birth certificate to America"

 
POTSman

"Tonight there will be NO teleprompters in use, so Mr President, you'd better prepare to get whipped like a rented mule!"

 
King Pawn

No Mr. President, there will be no questions about the NBA.

 
King Pawn

No Mr. President, these questions will not be on the test. This IS the test.

 
Tomiles007

Don't smile so much Mr. President, you are about to be hammered.

 
GreenFintuzler

Gentlemen, here at the 5 minute mark, we've reached our bullshit threshold. Would either of you like to lead us in a song or mime something?

 
GreenFintuzler

From each according to his ability, to each according to need of coaching and answer leading.

 
USAlways

Mr. President, We have a 10-whiff rule here…you only get one more swing at the truth.

 
USAlways

We've got a 10-whiff limit here, Mr. President, so we'll give you one last swing at the truth.

 
FireObama

Mr. President, I've tried to guide & help you every way I can, somebody PLEASE get his teleprompter!

 
jforbes

In lieu of a Teleprompter, Jim Lehrer gives Barry the answers in sign language…

 
jforbes

Hold on a sec, Barry… I need to put up my bullshit shield…

 
Togger

No Mr. President, you can't give your answers tomorrow

 
Togger

No Mr. President, this was not practice, we are on live tv

 
Togger

This was just practice right Jim?

 
AndyEHansen

Mr President, why are you smiling already? You haven't given one correct answer yet!

 
Togger

I can assure you Mr. President, we checked his fingerprints, that is the real Mitt Romney

 
Togger

Now before we start, do either of you have to go to the bathroom?

 
RepublicanInCA

Hold on. First I ask Obama about his vacations, then I ask Romney how rich he is. And if Romney tries to introduce some actual substance I interrupt him. Sound fair?

 
John L

Mr. President please try to make your lies about Mr. Romney sound somewhat believable or our ratings will suffer

 
RepublicanInCA

Barry…this is a debate. No teleprompters allowed.
Obama (thinks): Damn!

 
Joe_Ks

Mr. President, I didn't ask "Who done it". I asked how can it be fixed?

 
jforbes

No, Barry… Just because they want to cut funding to PBS does NOT mean you can eat Big Bird!

 
King Pawn

Two men enter the stage smiling. One leaves the stage smiling. The other one is the president.

 
GreyhoundLover

Ok men, bow to each other and come out swinging.

 
King Pawn

Lehrer: No, Mr. President. I said the softball questions were 2 million dollars each. Your 10 million only buys you 5.

 
GreenFintuzler

Man, the altitude here is killing me!

 
GMB

Sorry Mr. President, but you are no Bill Clinton!

 
anonimo

Whoa! Whoa! There's seems to be a problem. Mr. President appears to be lost in this Mile High altitude. He is still smiling during this smack down.

 
10thAmendmentFan

This was kind of like watching a cat play with a mouse right before eating it.

 
tiskab

For the last time, you can't have Clint Eastwood's chair sit in for you tonight, Mr. President.

 
King Pawn

Question for Mr. Romney: What would you do to turn the economy around?

Question for Mr. Obama: What's your favorite tree?

 
King Pawn

Lehrer: I'm sorry Mr. President, "I'll research it and get back to you tomorrow" is unacceptable.

 
Andrew2052

Hold on Hold on, I have to start the sentence for the President.

 
Oliver

Mr. Leher: OK. O.K. Mr. President. I love farts as much as the next guy, but let's stay on topic here.

 
King Pawn

Lehrer: First question: What does Marcellus Wallace look like?
Obama: What?
Romney: Say what one more time. I dare you. I double dare you!

 
Imuakako

Please understand – this is NOT multiple choice…

 
dr0wwarr10r

Moderator: you open the door. The smell of mildew permitted the air. The room is dark save for the slit of light issuing from the now open door.
Obama: I cast magic missile at the economy.

 
alyaks

Tell the truth? That's really funny!

 
GreyhoundLover

I've already told you Mr. President, we cannot provide you with a telepromptor even if you are president of our once great country.

 
GreyhoundLover

I'm glad to see you smiling Mr. President. I was concerned that you had fallen asleep.

For the last time Mr. President, this is not Family Feud and you cannot pass the question.

 
Schonowe

Sorry Mr. President, that's another touchdown for Romney and we've reached the two minute warning!

 
dngnb8

Now Mr President, I taped the answers to your Podium. There are no telepromters

 
AMiamiGuy

"Mr. President, would you like to stop now, while you're still ahead?"

 
yubetcha

"Barry, if you are one of the 4 greatest presidents, then I am the best moderator who ever lived"

 
Jackie

Debate like your man parts depend on it.

 
Ricepaddyrob

Leher (looking at Obama feet in discussed) "Mr. President, this is a Presidential debate not “Dancing With The Stars”. Please stop dancing around the questions, smiling and bowing…errr…curtsying like this is a beauty contest."
