What Obama should have done, if he wanted to be polite for the debate and allow Romney to lie for ninety minutes, was wait to the end of the debate and say, basically, what he said here. In his summation the President could have said:
"My fellow Americans, I want to apologize for taking your time tonight. You were not invited to view a Presidential Debate, what you witnessed was my opponent, Governor Romney, lying for ninety minutes. Ninety minutes of changing stated positions he has held through course of this campaign. Ninety minutes of empty platitudes and numbers that don't add up. Ninety minutes of calling the world flat and the sky green. I started to take notes on inconsistencies in the Governor's remarks, and after capturing four pages of them I realized I couldn't address all of them in the time allotted for this debate. I will, however, detail the inconsistencies on the White House webpage where anyone who is interested can review them. Governor Romney and I are asking the American people to elect us to the most important office in the land. The leader of the free world. And to think that Governor Romney believes he wins this race through pathological lying is an affront to the office of the Presidency, and an insult to the American people. I am sorry we wasted your time, America, this election is too important to allow a liar and fabricator, like the Governor here, to waste America's time."
