Y : Why "slanted"? The moderator is asking the same of BOTH, and they have to answer and then - are free to defend their responses. It's not about "liking" a person. It's about some very severe deeds in the past of a candidate that should have make him completely unelectable to run America the Great, no?
TEHAB: I agree...Asking a neolibnazi to be honest, even when facts are, or should be presented, is akin to asking a prostitute to be "loving". But one thing We The People promise you; these questions will be asked of barack hussein obama - rather sooner than later.

Sounds like some rather decent questions to be asked of the men wanting to run our nation.

?????
No. I see no value at all in those questions. Both have had lots of fundraisers. Picking the donators of ONE side for no REAL reason is idiotic, and something I wouldn't expect from Jim Lehrer.
LOL, citizenship AGAIN? LOL Moron much?
What people who HAVE a brain care about is which one will try to make things BETTER for the citizenry, and which want wants to ruin the lives of most citizens -- the choice is clear; Romney wants only to ruin the lives of everyone except the richest Americans.
And people with brains realize that running a business is NOT a requirement for the presidency, nor is it at all relevant.
That Romney is extremely rich, and needn't ever take any salary again as long as he lives is well-known. I see no reason to bring it up yet again.
Instead you should ask "Which of you supports preventing millions of citizens from voting because they are likely to vote for the other party than for yours?" Only the most anti-American freaks think it's right to prevent citizens from voting, just because they are likely to vote for Dems instead of Republicans.
???????? LOL -- I can't help wondering whether your brain was damaged from birth, or it happened later. Obama has been president of the US; Romney never has.
No, no one who has any brain at all thinks your idiotic "questions" should be raised.

Since today's debate is supposed to domestic issues, none of them would be acceptable. I would guess that since the questions are supposed to be secret that Obama has had at least two weeks to study them and prepare the proper response.

Some Interesting Facts about Romney:
After high school, he spent about 30 months in France as an unpaid missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and had to pay for his own room and board.
After graduating from both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar but never worked as an attorney.
He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year.
He was an unpaid intern in his dad’s governor’s office for eight years.
In 1984, he co-founded Bain Capital a private equity investment firm.
Under his leadership, Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store in Massachusetts, turned it into Staples; now over 2,000 stores employing 90,000 people.
He also worked to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino's Pizza, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Monsanto, Burlington, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, Sports Authority, Steel Dynamics (SDI) which has since grown to become the fifth-largest U.S. producer of carbon-steel products, and many other successful companies. It is more profitable to have a company worth more than less… Yes, he could not save a few who were too deep in difficulties.
Romney “outsourcing” has been debunked by Factcheck, Washington Post, and Yahoo News.
He gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity.
In 1994, he ran for Senator of Massachusetts and lost to Ted Kennedy.
He took a 1 dollar salary while helping save the 2002 Winter Olympic Games financially.
He was an unpaid bishop and stake president of his church for about 12 years giving voluntary service of at least 20 or more hours each week for that entire time frame.
In 2002, he was elected Governor of the State of Massachusetts where he eliminated a 1.5 billion deficit.
He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of Massachusetts for four years.
In 2008, Romney and his wife, Ann, were awarded the Becket Fund's prestigious Canterbury Medal for "Courage in the Defense of Religious Liberty”.
Romney has released his full Tax returns for 2011 and 2010 — and a summary of his federal tax payments since 1990. The Romneys paid state and federal taxes in each of the last 20 years; their effective tax rate in 2011 was 14.1 percent. From a summary prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers they know the couple’s average annual effective federal tax rate from 1990 to 2009 was 20.20 percent. IRS data shows that Romney's effective income tax rate -- that's what he pays as a percentage of his income once deductions and other benefits are factored in -- is actually far higher than what most Americans pay... The middle tier of earners would be paying a 15.5 percent effective rate (As pointed out in an earlier report by FactCheck.org.)… IRS data from 2010 shows someone making between $50,000 and $75,000 on average pays an effective rate of 7.8 percent. Even someone making between $100,000 and $200,000 pays a 12.1 percent rate -- also lower than Romney's...
