"There You Go Again"

An uncle and I were discussing how Romney might get under Obama's skin and force an error during the Presidential debates. He mentioned Reagan's famous "There you go again" line and said Romney could use a similar rejoinder. His suggestion?
"It's not all about you."
Brilliant. What other lines might work? Please note that the challenge is to come up with a single sentence or phrase, rather than a true argument.

How about:
"Wait a minute; wait a minute! Did I just hear the oceans subsiding? Oh no, sorry, that was just a toilet flushing."

If the topic turns to Putin and Russia:
"By the way, I agree with your comment to President Medvedev; after this election you'll have lots of flexibility. Retirement will do that for you."

You say that Republicans don't compromise. The issue you ignore is that math doesn't compromise.

Beautiful Animal House reference. Here's another:
Christ, Mr. Obama. Four years of the presidency down the drain. You might as well just go join the [CoC redaction] Peace Corps.

Is this the same uncle I met? If it is, tell him to sign up for Ricochet and give us some more quotes! Oh. And tell him I say "hi."

Actually, "You consistently make me spit out my coffee" would probably be a great comeback line for Romney to Obama.

When inevitably, Barrack Obama pins some straw-man position to Romney, he should respond:
"I've never argued for that. You do realize that you're not debating a composite opponent?"

The character of a person is defined by how generous he or she is with his own time and money, not how generous he or she is with other people's money. I promise to leave more money in the hands of Americans, the most decent and generous people on the planet.
