JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2012
 
DID YOU ALL WATCH THE DEBATE LAST NIGHT?  I HAVE TO ADMIT I WAS ONE OF THOSE UNDECIDED…  I COULDN’T DECIDE WHETHER TO WATCH THE BASEBALL GAME OR THE FOOTBALL GAME.

LAST NIGHT PRESIDENT OBAMA FINALLY FOUND A REPUBLICAN WHO THAT AGREED WITH HIM…MITT ROMNEY.

ONE OF PRESIDENT OBAMA’S WINNING POINTS LAST NIGHT WAS ABOUT HOW SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN ARE CRIPPLING THEIR ECONOMY. AND BELIEVE ME. IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO CRIPPLE AN ECONOMY, IT'S PRESIDENT OBAMA.

I THOUGHT BOB SCHIEFFER DID A GREAT JOB.  BEFORE THE DEBATE BOB SCHIEFFER INSTRUCTED THE AUDIENCE NOT TO CLAP FOR ANY REASON, BECAUSE IN HIS HOUSE THAT MAKES THE LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF.

THIS WAS NOT BOB SCHIEFFER’S FIRST TIME; HE ALSO MODERATED THE BUSH-KERRY DEBATE IN 2004 AND THE LINCOLN-DOUGLAS DEBATES IN 1858.
