Romney just waffled through the first question.

Romney thinks he and a group of neo-cons can overturn Islamic extremism. That's hilarious.
Obama sort of lied there. It was Sarkzoy and Cameron who were front and centre on Libya with Obama hesitant and conflicted.
Comical stuff so far. Romney struggling to fill his time with enough material. Obama going on attack already.
He keeps talking about Mali. How many Americans know that Mali exists? Much less that there has been a rebellion there?Edit: It's like they told him about it and he was like "woah, there's something I can talk about!" He learned a new fact and is wearing it out.
Zing
Obama: "You've been wrong".
Obama attacking like United.
"I don't concur with the President about the things I've said"
Romney's coming back decently.
Paradoxically, this is the most sense Romney has spoken on foreign policy so far during this campaign.
Good section from Romney on Russia just then, probably his best spell so far.
I didn't like Romney's whine "whaaaa stop attacking me"
Romney displaying his lack of depth on the subject.
Apparently Syria is Iran's route to the sea.
Yep.
Yep.
Romney has a bigger flagpin...he wins.
He is literally repeating what Obama said.
I love the way Obama is constantly looking at Romney when Romney is talking. It seems to fluster Romney quite a bit.
Romney's really not anything significant yet. He's just repeated what Barry has said so far.
Both of them shamelessly mentioning Israel when Turkey and Qatar would be more appropriate.
"..critical opportunity for America.."

He's basically saying "we will do good things, because they are good. Bad things are best avoided, because we like good things better. I will do good things."
Obama mate, you were not an organiser on Libya. Why hasn't Ronney picked him up on that?
I am feeling this debate will have zero impact on the polls. Foreign policy really isn't on the top of many peoples agendas.
Romney's odd smile is really annoying.
Same feeling. Topics tonight aren't going to really resonate.
Its why Obama tries to bring it back "must focus at home".
One must talk at a fifth-grade level to get through to his support base.
This is pretty strong by Obama.
Romney is literally just agreeing with Obama.
Romney is literally just agreeing with Obama.
Comical stuff. Obama should win this one and take the momentum in the final two weeks.
I am far more keyed in to most of these issues than 99% of Americans and I am bored with this debate already.
It lacks the energy and determination of the second debate, it won't draw in the undecided or fair weather political watcher if things stay like this.
Obama is doing well, but he looks a lot better because Romney looks extremely nervous and afraid of saying the wrong things.
I think Romney doesn't know anything, and has been studying like hell for the past days.
Well if Ahmadinejad said it, it must be true, Mittens...
Yeah, we have friends bitches. A whole 42 of them.
These questions are useless. They really are. The depth of them is appalling.
That gaff about Syria being Iran's path to the sea was just stunning for a man wanting to be president.
Romney's trying to spin it to the economy all the time.
Strengthen the military, sounds like a plan, that'll help the economy.
And, and, and.. the military!
