Obama: If people read transcript, they’ll think I won last debate

“That’s not actually how I thought about it,” Obama said on the Michael YO! Show when asked if there was a moment when he knew he was losing last week. “I do think that on television it was clear that I was being too restrained when Mr. Romney was telling his tall tales. But the truth is, when you read the transcript, everything I said was true and a lot of what he said was not.”

Obama did concede that he “had an off-night” and explained that he was “too polite” to bring up Romney’s 47 percent remarks.
