(First diary, so please be gentle)
There were a lot of stupid moments in Romney's "winning" performance. But I think the one that stands out the most to me is the egregious math mistake that he made, not once or twice, but (by my count) four times. (He only said it twice according to the transcript)
Responding to Obama's assertion that we can cut subsidies and tax benefits to oil companies, Romney said that corporate welfare to oil companies wasn't the $4B that Obama said, it was only $2.8B. And meanwhile, Obama had spent $90B to support green energy companies, "like 50 years worth of tax breaks" to the oil companies.
Reality math, 2.8 x 50 = 140 Romney math, 2.8 x 50 = 90
