Near the end of the first Denver debate segment on the economy and jobs, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney took a commanding stance — hammering the president over high electric rates, higher food and health care costs, and burdensome small business taxes.
President Obama, who rarely looked directly at his opponent and instead repeatedly turned to PBS moderator Jim Lehrer, began one of his last parries with Romney by stating:
“Jim, you may wanna move on to another topic.”
Twitter reaction was fast, furious, and fiery:
Ouch. That hurt the President. "Jim, you may wanna move on to another topic." Bad move, bro.

Obama: "Jim you may want to move on to another topic" (In other words, PLEASE Jim, move on, he's making me look like an idiot!"

Obama says: "Jim you may want to move on to another topic." Obama means: "Please Jim, move on. This is painful."
