I think he was stunned by the level of BS Romney was spewing forth.

I loved the part where Romney started teaching Obama that most small business owners get taxed as individuals at individual rates , not at corporate rates. That is 100% true. As a small business owner that was how I paid taxes for 13 years.

What it showed was that Romney doesn't have a basic understanding of marginal tax rates. We all understand that many small business owners are taxed as individuals...but how many are paying themselves over $250k without filing as an LLC or pass through?
If you're in that 3% and Obama's plan is going to kill your business I'd really suggest you seek a qualified accountant!

Spence , your guy looked bad. He looked like a bag of wind with nothing but rhetoric in the face of withering facts from Romney It wasn't a bad debate , it was a great debate but totally lopsided. Obama should be ashamed of himself.

I agree Obama didn't have a good showing, but Romney wasn't offering many facts.
Obama doubled the deficit = false
Obama stole 750B from Medicare = false
Romney's health care plan covers pre-existing conditions = false
1/2 of green stimulus companies have gone under = false
and on and on...

Left wingers thing the government should take 5 trillion and then squander 2 and give back 3 in the form of stimulus money. Romney wants to leave the 5 trillion in the hands of the people , not let the government take there wasteful cut out of it. Don't believe a word about the "the math doesn't add up". Romney is a business man whose carreer was about how things do add up and I'm totally confident that his plan for tax cuts offset by closing of loopholes and increased revenues do to economic growth stimulated by those tax cuts is far more realistic than the "I have a dream" rhetoric Obama is trying to sell.

I've yet to read ANYTHING that suggests Romney really has a plan.
His tax promises are mathematically impossible.
If he was as good of a business person as you suggest he'd be offering a solution to navigate the business, not selling a pipe dream. Romney's career was made by parting companies out for a profit, not structuring them for sustained growth...and there's a BIG difference.
