"Liberals who celebrate tolerance of other views always seem amazed that there are other views."

George Will on the first debate:
"Romney was lucky that the first debate concerned the economy, a subject that to him is a hanging curve ball and to Obama is a dancing knuckleball."

 "Barack Obama, knight of the peevish countenance, illustrated William F. Buckley's axiom that liberals who celebrate tolerance of other views always seem amazed that there are other views. Obama, who is not known as a martyr to the work ethic and who might use a teleprompter when ordering lunch, seemed uncomfortable with a format that allowed fluidity of discourse."

On Obama's supposed eloquence as a speaker: "his supposed rhetorical gifts are figments of acolytes' imaginations."
