After GOP contender Mitt Romney was lauded for his performance in Denver, the stakes are even higher now for President Obama as he prepares for the next debate. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
President Obama fires back at Mitt Romney after the first presidential debate.
"Governor Romney may dance around his positions,” Obama told supporters in Denver today. “But if you want to be president, you owe the American people the truth.”
Tonight, Ed welcomes Stephanie Cutter, Obama Campaign Deputy Campaign Manager, to review last night's performance and the way forward.
Then, Sam Stein, Huffington Post political editor, and E.J. Dionne, a Senior Fellow at The Brookings Institution and Washington Post columnist, look at Romney’s style versus the president's substance.
President Obama says we can't double down on the policies that created the Great Recession. Tonight, Ed welcomes David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author (“The Fine Print: How Big Companies Use 'Plain English' To Rob You Blind”), to examine Romney's $5 trillion lie.
All of a sudden Mitt Romney is concerned for the middle-class. James Hoffa, President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, reacts to Romney’s pandering to the middle class.
We'll bring you the latest on Mitt Romney’s plan to fry Big Bird!
And in the Big Finish, Ohio is the key to victory for both candidates. Ed will ask state Sen. Nina Turner (D-OH) whether last night's debate was a game changer for voters in her state.

It may well turn out to be a glowing gift for stargazers!
A newly-discovered comet may become one of the brightest lights in the sky - even outshining the Moon, astronomers including an Indian-origin scientist have claimed.
Russian astronomers recently spotted the comet 2012 S1 (ISON)
90 million kilometres from the Earth, the 'National Geographic' reported.
Russian astronomers recently spotted the comet 2012 S1 (ISON) 90 million kilometres from the Earth
It is currently a faint glow streaking between Saturn and Jupiter, but as the Sun's gravity draws the comet closer, dust and ice will be blasted off, giving it a highly-reflective tail.
The comet is already remarkably bright, given how far it is from the Sun, astronomer Raminder Singh Samra said. Depending on how big the tail gets, the three-kilometre wide comet may become more visible for a few months in late 2013 and early 2014.
"If it lives up to expectations, this comet may be one of the brightest in history," Samra from H R MacMillan Space Centre in Canada told National Geographic.
The comet seems to be following the path of the Great Comet of 1690, which was one of the most stunning ever seen from Earth.
It should also pass about 10 million kilometres from Mars, possibly providing Nasa's new Curiosity rover with a spectacular view.
However, Samra warned that scientists should be cautious about predicting the brightness of comets, as they have failed to live up to expectations in the past.

"Mabus" then will soon die, there will come
Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run.
century: 2, quatrain: 62

What about the quatrain that says that about 1999, a giant bird will fly into the New City and hit a building and the building will fall down. And it will start a war of 9 years, with hunger and starvation all over the world. After the war is over, the New city and the Bear (Russia ) would never again fight.
And they will get along until the end of the world, which will be in 3600 (+ or - 100 years) when there will no longer be any people here. (I assume we will have flown away to other places.)
Because it never happened. 911 happened in 2001 and it was terrorists trained by the US that attacked the US not Russia. And the 2 wars lasted longer then 9 years Russia wasn't involved in those wars either.
Because NOBODY would vote for him if he told the people what he was really going to do.

Ed, I knew the President wasn't dead. He had a plan. The commercial I just saw explains it all. Why should Obama reply to Romney's lies when Obama got his point across!
It would be logical if they told Obama to keep his cool, be presidential, don't be an "angry black man" and make your points, regardless of what Mittens says. If Obama were calling Romney a liar, and trying to force him to back down on his statements, he wouldn't be Presidential. Obama has always been calm and steady. I think Mittens just looked desperate and stuttering. I seriously doubt if that debate is going to change any minds.

Romney pulled a Gish Gallop:The Gish Gallop, named after creationist Duane Gish, is the debating technique of drowning the opponent in such a torrent of half-truths, lies, and straw-man arguments that the opponent cannot possibly answer every falsehood in real time. The term was coined by Eugenie Scott of the National Center for Science Education. The formal debating jargon term for this is spreading. You can hear some mind boggling examples here. It arose as a way to throw as much rubbish into five minutes as possible. In response, some debate judges now limit number of arguments as well as time. However, in places where debating judges aren't there to call bull---- on the practice, like the internet, such techniques are remarkably common." rationalwiki.org
Romney must had been practicing Gish-Gallop .
You speak of Mitt lying what about the constant lies over the last 4 years from this president. When will the media call Obama on his lies and promises not kept.
Romney's got more position's than the Kama-Sutra.
If you can find any promises that Obama did not keep on his own reasoning, that would be one thing. But you can find a whole bunch of promises Obama was trying to keep before the filibustering and the obstruction started. They decided to filibuster and obstruct our entire country's FUTURE, by ruining Obama. Our credit rating? Jobs bills? Where were they obstructed? do some reading, find out exactly why Obama's promises were unable to be kept. The Congress tried to get through Congress over 300 social bills, regarding contraception and abortion. Not one jobs bill.
Obama's promises were before the big recession crash. it took him awhile to get things working at all, And the House and the Republicans in the Senate did their best to ruin him.
WOW ! ! ! Last night's debate was a
Great Disappointment to say the least. Someone needs to wake up the President
! He miss one opportunity after another to expose Romney's Jekyll & Hyde
rhetoric but was not able or chose not too ! How deflating to watch ! I was
talking to the POTUS " Look up !" " Look in to the camera ! " " Stop stammering
!" & yelling at Willard " That's a lye !" "That's not what you said last week !","That's not what you have been saying for more than a year !" "Tell the whole plan !" the whole time! ! ! Romney broke the debate format multiple times, Jim Lehrer couldn't stop him & Obama let him get the last word in on almost every discussion point ! I am an informed voter, know the contrasts between the platforms, & both sides of the arguments, my position & vote has not changed. BUT & it is a Big BUT, how many of
last nights viewers was this the first time or the only time they will truly pay
attention to the issues at stake in this election ? How do you think they will vote ?
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES ! I cannot stop shaking my head in total
disbelief ,WTF ! ! !

There is NO reason to believe the Republican'ts
They like to make bogus promises and predictions.
They tell you lies about the future to elect them.
When was the last time they held on to their word?
What have Republican'ts done for America in the last 40 years?
Republican'ts want you to trust them but are you verifying that trust?
Did you look at the cause for the national debt?
Did you notice that it is all Republican't policies?
Did you notice that Obama spent to fix Republican't failed policies.
Did you know that Obama's fixes are working?
Did you know that we need more fixes?
Did you know that the Republican'ts do not want those fixes?
Did you know that Republican'ts want to bring back the same failed policies?
Do you think that Republican'ts deserve to be in power?
What have they done to earn it?
Republican't polices have created a massive national debt of $16 TRILLION.
Do you think that Romney, Mr. 1%, Mr. anti-47%, Mr. "I like to fire people" is looking out for you?
Romney / Lyan have been in the middle of all the country's problems.
They're the cause.
They want more "redistribution of debt" from their interests to you.
Did you know that the tax cuts they give out are coming back in superpac accounts?
Do you know who is paying for their campaign?
Why do they have have secret MILLIONS overseas?
Why are they lying so much?
You need answers.
Good luck!

Will #Mittens be able to get away with his lies? I'm afraid he might. I am particularly upset with Mitt's contention that the ARRA spent huge amounts of money on green energy and that about one-third of the investments went bankrupt and that a bunch of those were Obama contributors. Others have debunked the one-third lie. I want to talk about what we actually got for our investment in ARRA. The City of Fort Collins is installing smart meters throughout by 2013. This will allow us to sell electricity back to the municipal utility though individual rooftop solar. #Mittens seems in the pocket of the American Petroleum Institute.
#Mittens says that he will cut wasteful government programs. Great, I'm all for that. How much are we spending to keep Guantanamo Bay prison open? I bet it is a lot of money. According to #Mittens we should not have to borrow money from China to pay for this federal government program. Someone should suggest this!
We are borrowing from China only 6% of our debt.
The great majority of money we are borrowing are from our own treasury bills. Right at the end of world war II, we were much deeper in debt than now (and they were also in two wars, Germany and Japan). And because we got our economy booming, due to the soldiers coming home, the baby boomers being born, schools growing, etc. that debt was taken care of in about 10 years. Historically the very rich usually control 55-60% of GDP. this year, the very rich are controlling 96%!! That's why the economy is slow. there is only 4% of the money circulating, the rest of it is sitting in big banks with Scrooge McDuck sitting on it.
I hope that former NH Gov. Sununu will continue to be a top #Mittens surrogate. He comes across as an angry old white guy. Perfect spokesperson for the Whigs ... ooops I meant the GOP
OBAMA SUPPORTERS did not need a fire breathing dragon while he was patient and kept his composure as MR. Romney displayed rudeness and chose not to adhere to the debate format rules; because, since the 1960s Mitt proved time and again that he follows his rules for his objects of desire-be it for money and public office.
If being aggressive is not being rude, then can anyone imagine Mitt becoming unglued when he is not getting what he desires from world leaders?
I understand serial killers are aggressive when going for the jugular which explains how the moderator became roadkill on Mitt's road to the White House.
Unfortnately, most media hounds forgot and became confused that this was a debate instead of a Bronze Medal Round for Boxing.
Elmo:
I personally don;t think he was rude at all...but lets assume that your premise is right and that Romney was rude, the debate is supposed to be an opportunity for both candidates to have an equal amount of speaking time. Since the moderator allowed President Obama to speak for almost 4 minutes longer than Romney, what should Romney have done? just sit there and let that take place?
just saying...
Obama gave Romney a shovel and he kept digging . Except that shovel turned into a backhoe. The Republicans are so desperate to put one of their own into the White House , that they will settle for this compulsive liar who is a joke around the world and known as a "TWIT".
