LEHRER: Both of you have spoken about a lot of different things, and we're going to try to get through them in as specific a way as we possibly can.
But, first, Governor Romney, do you have a question that you'd like to ask the president directly about something he just said?
ROMNEY: Well, sure. I'd like to clear up the record and go through it piece by piece.
First of all, I don't have a $5 trillion tax cut. I don't have a tax cut of a scale that you're talking about. My view is that we ought to provide tax relief to people in the middle class. But I'm not going to reduce the share of taxes paid by high-income people. High-income people are doing just fine in this economy. They'll do fine whether you're president or I am.

Re O's lackluster, I commented on TAC, before I even read Dreher's "spent force" assessment, that Obama might well realize the US economy will remain quagmired throughout the term of whomever wins, not to mention a declining mideast, if not world strategic position--and he might well be ambivalent about taking the blame.
However if Netanyahu owns Romney more than O, it might be better if he did.
