Sadly for him Candy Crowley found the time.
For the record Romney told an incredible 31 lies in 41 minutes. Here are just a few:
“And the president’s right in terms of the additional oil production, but none of it came on federal land. As a matter of fact, oil production is down 14 percent this year on federal land, and gas production was down 9 percent.”
“And coal, coal production is not up; coal jobs are not up.”
“And I will not — I will not under any circumstances, reduce the share that’s being paid by the highest income taxpayers. And I will not, under any circumstances increase taxes on the middle-class.”
“The president’s policies throughout the Middle East began with an apology tour and — and — and pursue a strategy of leading from behind, and this strategy is unraveling before our very eyes.”
And let's not forget THIS one!
“I went to a number of women’s groups and said, ‘Can you help us find folks,’ and they brought us whole binders full of women. I was proud of the fact that after I staffed my Cabinet and my senior staff, that the University of New York in Albany did a survey of all 50 states, and concluded that mine had more women in senior leadership positions than any other state in America.”
Oh yeah, that last one is going to leave a permanent mark.
In fact there were SO MANY lies, and strange references, last night that somebody put together this Venn diagram.
And I am sure that next Monday the President will be equally prepared to make Romney his prison bitch just like he did Tuesday night.
Of course at the end of the night, after all of the pundits have had their say and declared the winner and loser, all the candidate has left is their family. And there I think that the President came out way ahead as well.
After all, which one would YOU rather go home with?
One's a perfunctory peck. The other is a juicy smooch with a promise attached.

Bullseye...damn that is so on point, I wonder what happened to Frank Luntz during these debate cycles? Doesn't seem ole Mitt has any new bullshit words to repeat. You can just imagine ole Mitt hammering in a board room, in my younger days I have met way too many just like him. Yuck
ReplyDeleteI think it really takes alot to piss Obama off, and this man really pisses him off...I love it.
I dont understand how people with as much money as the romney's can't afford better looking clothes than the rags his wife seems to wear.
ReplyDeleteIt's a taste thing. Her taste is deplorable, in clothes as well as men.
DeleteOh. . . my. . . HELL!
ReplyDeleteBetween that look on Mitt's face last night and this dagger-eyed gawp from Shitt Junior, I'm going to be absolutely unsurprised when body parts are unearthed somewhere on a Romney property.
I tend not to judge people by appearance, but in this case you can simply SEE the phsycopathic hatred emanating from those empty, lifeless eyes. I'm referring to father AND son.
Antoinette, however- SHE looks as though she knows her husband is debating like a drunken toddler and she realizes when they get home, he's going to bestow one of those "hair trigger temper" episodes upon her. She said it herself- he has a horrid temper which he "mostly" can control now, and she is "worried for his mental health".
I don't know about the rest of you, but seeing that photo of Romney which Gryphen displayed on an earlier post today actually sent a chill down my spine. I mean I actually, truly shuddered when I saw the pure evil on his face and realized what kind of country this would be should someone like HIM be granted absolute power.
I didn't see it as evil so much as barely contained fury and indignation that things didn't go his way. Nobody's talking about it but I always see get-level racism in Mitt, like Barack is an intruder in the President's office who has no business talking to him like that! Then to be humiliated by him and by a WOMAN! I'm not sure when in the debate that shot was taken but it sure seems like it Libya related. Anyway, I suppose you could call his look evil. I see him as an emotionally immature and maybe even unstable, maybe even brain damaged, arrogant, entitled, racist asshole who got his ass kicked by a brilliant black man.
DeleteNyah4:39 PM
DeleteWhen I saw Romney's face, I saw evil, too. That was the first thing I thought when I saw his face,EVIL AND RAGE.
Ann Romney looks like she is watching her dream of sashaying through the White House dissolving before her eyes.
DeleteAnn Romney looks like cross between a wicked witch and Phyllis Diller.
ReplyDeletePlease don't diss Phyllis Diller - she only brought laughs and funny stuff to anyone who listened. She played off her less than stellar looks to great success
DeleteAnn Romney - witch yes, but no where near as classy as Diller ever was.
Although, come to think of it, you can get great laughs from the Romney prissy pissy looks, even though you're laughing AT her instead of WITH her.
PMom_GA
You are being too over sensitive. I grew up with Phyllis Diller. Irony fail on my part.
DeleteYeah, and an ugly Phyllis Diller at that. Despite her flashy muli-million dollar wardrobe, Ann always looks unfashionable.
DeleteThan Venn diagram is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteGood thing Josh can't burn holes through things with those eyes. That was a death ray look if I ever saw one.
ReplyDeleteGryphen.... That picture of the pyscho son is SCARY! WTF is wrong with his EYES!
ReplyDeleteLike father -- like son.
DeleteWould be interesting to see pics of the 5 sons direct on to see the eyes.
The eyes of Romney when he turned back to President Obama on the Libya issue and the eyebrows raised up. That look that sends daggers -- or if looks could kill.
Romney and Josh clearly have anger issues. It's also about 'entitlement' as Ann said -- It's Mitt's turn.
Good Housekeeping has an interview this month with Ann Romney, who says that Mitt's problem is his anger, and how he used to get very angry when his children were little.
DeleteNOT a picture book story at all.
Is Ann trying to torpedo her husband's campaign or does she actually think these little comments about his behavior and mental health will make more people vote for him?
DeleteAR: I guess the thing I'd say is he had to learn to control his temper a bit when the children were young. In other situations, he's quick to flare, and I've seen him learn to control that, too. Most people have a very hard time changing their behavior, and I've been impressed that he's actually seen [his temper] as a weakness and worked on it.
Deletehttp://www.goodhousekeeping.com/family/celebrity-interviews/ann-romney-interview-2012-election
When Ann walked onto the stage I thought she was going to either hit or curse out Obama. She looked like a woman who just saw her chance of being the First Lady, go up in flames.
ReplyDeleteI have a real dislike of Ann, she seems so smug and arrogant like she is entitled to whatever it is she wants. There really is no comparison between her and our lovely Mrs. Obama.
As Nyah stated above, I too saw the look in Mitt's eyes and it was startling to see so much hatred towards our President. He seems very unstable and his performance pretty much proved that he does not have what it takes to run this country.
I just sent Obama my fourth donation and hubby and I will be voting Saturday morning, the first day of early voting here.
And what is with Mitt's red-rimmed eyes? He looks like Satan is trying to escape.
DeleteI feel uncomfortable about how many people I speak to who do not care how much Romney and Ryan lie. The comback line is that Obama lies too and who knows what the facts are. Some people believe Romney will make the economy better. His position on other matters are of no concern to them.
ReplyDeleteYou either need a new group of friends, or you need to quit discussing politics with people who don't care about the character and integrity of our President and Commander in Chief of our Military Personnel.
DeleteSome people really DON'T care to be informed; they'd rather take what they get and then bitch later. I'm very bad about saying "I told you so" when someone totally ignores my common sense answers or says that they "don't care". Sorry, that's how I roll. But if they listen, and at least consider my input, whatever they decide is like their opinion, and I will respect it as long as it is based on facts.
I just refuse to listen to whining of someone who either doesn't vote or votes without knowing WHY they voted the way they did.
I have both committed Dems and committed GOPers in my family, and most of the time, the discussion will not result in a change of political ideology. But the more we discuss the facts, the closer we are to understanding what our own drivers are anyway. And that's fine. But none of us listen to ignorance and the "talking point" propaganda from either side as it relates to emotional issues. So nonsense like "the apology tour", "birth certs", "Kenya, Mau Mau", shit like that will get you thrown out of any discussion and laughed at.
Tax Policies, Immigration Policies, Foreign Policy, Money Supply,Supreme Court Justice Appts and things of that nature are really the main factors, and the two sides aren't nearly as far off from one another as everybody thinks. It's just on the social issues that everybody screams about and then they vote for whoever they think will help them individually.
I just got into an argument tonight with my college professor because he is constantly hating on the President during class. Now, I am not in a Political Science class, I am in a speech class. I don't give a rats ass what your politics are, I don't want to hear about them during a class I paid big bucks for.
DeleteHe wanted to speak to me after class and I thought we were going to have an adult discussion about it but I was wrong, he all but called me stupid for calling him out on it during class.
One other student in another class called him a racist for hating on the President and he thought that was funny. When I pointed out that now two students who did not know each other felt it was inappropriate, he told me that the other student and I were the ones with the problem not him. These people just don't get it. Boundries People! They ARE important!

Somehow I don't think Ann and Josh have ever had a very good time, anywhere anytime. They have simply behaved according to protocol, mostly Mitt's protocol, but otherwise the 1% protocol.

That little fuck-wad. I wish I were 3 inches taller and about 30 lbs lighter. I'd need some tan-in-a-can too, for sure. Then maybe Tagg might mistakenly punch ME instead of the Prez.
DeleteOh Lord, that would be sweet for about a minute! I'd have that boy cryin' for his Momma because his Daddy would be too scared to even look out the door that I'd whip his ass, too.

It a good one, very clever.
DeleteWell, call me rude, but with Michele looking so luscious, I’m sure the president quickly found the time to “tuck her in.”
ReplyDeleteNot rude. A little off-topic, but in a good way, and very perceptive of you.
DeletePresident Obama was clearly (and rightfully, IMO) offended by Romney's ignorant assertions that had been spewed in the Republican echo chamber for a month that he had "waited two weeks to call it an act or terror".
Mitt stepped in a pile of poop from one of his own dogs (Seamus, perhaps? Or Rushbo?), didn't know he had stepped in it and repeated the lies that were so easily disproved by the transcript.
And PBO was stern in making his point and Michelle sensed PBO was still a little tense, so she's using a little "Baby, I can't wait for us to get home and pour us a glass of wine and then we take a nice, long shower or, if YOU INSIST, we'll turn on the whirlpool in the master bath and put on a little 'sexy-time' music" distraction, which has always worked on me to bring me back into the moment.
She knows her man, and he has enough sense to listen to her because when she's talking to him, she's the most important person in the room to him and she NEVER steers him in the wrong direction.
No, not rude to call her luscious, for darn sure. I though "yummy", but "luscious" works well, also, too.

When she finished the segment, she threw her papers off her desk. That's not the norm for her -- at all.
Well, good for her! Calling these people out does no good. Reciting facts does no good. They are evil and are determined to rain their evil on all of us. And now Romney is haning out with Jerome Corsi, the brilliant mind behind "Obama is a homosexual" and is still selling signs asking for the birth certificate. I;m sure he has plenty of foreign policy experience to impart to Romney, huh? Hey, Mitt, you are judged by the compamny you keep.
DeleteYep, Sally, like having Corsi on-board is going to draw those independents toward Romney/Ryan ticket? I'm with you here calling bullshit on Mitt-shit-for-brains.

Independents for Obama/Biden 2012. Anyone with a personal net worth of less than $5M+ in liquid assets who is planning to vote for Romney/Ryan is kidding himself/herself.
Great vid w Rachel. Yeah, she was pissed, but she was right on the facts. PolitiFact has gotten into this relativism truthiness BS so they won't be calling out the lies on the right so "dis-proportionately".

Set him up at some VA Hospital where he can shake some hands and call people the wrong names and give out some pain meds with unwashed hands. These two are a joke right?

FL Michelle is not violent. She is a classy woman.
Anon9:42... the answer is that Ann is a cold phony and if pancakes were ever served to her motley crew, some maid prepared them. Ann is far too busy shopping for fugly "shmatas" (ask a Jewish friend what that means) and conforming to Mitt's vision of a Stepford Wife. She does not seem to emanate any warmth at all and I suspect theirs is NOT a happy home.
DeleteSomehow the word “binders” anywhere near the word women is going to leave a bad taste for a lot of we women. There is no way to back off from that bizarre reference to an employment search. I somehow picture him with the elders of his church perusing available and already submissive women in these “binders.”
ReplyDeleteBut I was so sure Mitt really cares about women. He said so. His surrogates said so. His wife said so. He cares. He really cares. At least for the next 19 days. After that, we are on our own if the GOP gets elected to ANYTHING in this nation.
DeleteWhile watching the debate, at one point, the President was speaking to the audience, and Ann was in the upper left corner - I don't recall seeing Josh, but the POTUS was eviscerating Romney, and Ann's face was tipped back, nostrils flared, and her face went from white clorox bleach white, to vivid red - clashed with her dress. Most telling was the contempt in her eyes. POTUS never made eye contact with her, but the audience was paying attention.
ReplyDeleteThat clip is amazing! George Will actually gave Obama a shred of credit?
Hell just froze over.

ReplyDeleteOne thing I think should be clear is that I believe the whole "Rose Garden" moment was a beautiful and planned set up by Obama. Obama baited Romney down that path.
The second thing to realize is WHY they did it and the impact of having this big lie exposed at this point in time.
.
Obama totally baited Romney into going down the "you didn't call it terror for two weeks" road. He knew Romney was going to accuse him of that if given the chance. I'm absolutely convinced they knew Romney would go exactly there.
Watch the tape, it was a total set up. First he takes responsibility and the he says: "The day after the attack, GOVERNOR (LOOKS RIGHT AT ROMNEY), I stood in the Rose Garden and I told the American people and the world that we are going to find out exactly what happened, that this was an act of terror (watch Obama's hand as he says this, it moves like he's PLACING SOMETHING OUT THERE (bait)) and I also said that we're going to hunt down those who committed this crime and then a few days later....."
This was bait. He knew Romney was prepared to make the claim that he didn't call it a terror attack for two weeks and totally set up Romney to make the claim. That Candy Crowley actually set the record straight was just icing.
Now the reason you may think was to set the record straight, and on one level it was. But I propose a more fundamental reason and that was to expose a BIG lie with strong emotional underpinnings and that's exactly what happened. ONE HUMONGOUS LIE EXPOSED with emotional resonance and everything else is easily dismissed. To have that happen NOW in front of a huge audience on national TV with 3 weeks to go...well, you do the math.
THAT'S why this moment is so, so important. And I'm pretty sure it was totally set up by the Obama team. Absolutely brilliant.
It's the BIG one. Now EVERYTHING IS SUSPECT.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/17/1145783/-Debate-BAIT-And-Unmasking-The-BIG-LIES
This is a TOTAL mind fuck to Romney. Obama is in his head BIG TIME. Not only has Obama out Alpha'd him and totally dominated him, he has to realize how Obama played him at this point and must be shitting bricks at how out of his depth he is. What else does Obama have planned? He will go batshit crazy second guessing EVERYTHING his campaign does from here on out.
And foreign policy is next !
DeleteHA!
We all know that's Rmoney's STRONG SUIT!
hahahaha
Not only was Rachel Maddow pissed off, but I caught "Let me finish" with Chris Matthews moments ago, and watched him spit as he trashed the rightwing and their obvious disrespect for both Obama as a person, and the office of the President.
ReplyDeleteI've watched this go from a "tentative" dissing in 2008, to full blown talking DOWN to the Commander in Chief as if he's the uppity house {n word} this last while.
That HAS to backfire...if Romney does somehow make it to that office, he'll have won a hollow, shallow victory, as nearly everyone now assumes there is absolutely no reason to show anyone holding that office, a single ounce of respect.
I've had it cross my mind exactly what the Fox channel will air, if this is the case. Without the need to fabricate reports of aliens landing in a UFO, and handing over evidence of Obama being born on a moon of Jupiter, what will Megyn, Gretchen, and the other wise blondes even SAY?
I suspect it will be the indignant reaction to how everyone keeps referring to Romney as "President Butthole," or something like that.
Did anyone see and hear Chris Matthews on Tuesday night before the debate? He shouted at one Repub surrogate: "You didn't answer my friggin' question!" Almost went there. I think that the Dems and the people from MSNBC are getting totally frustrated over the lies that are thrown around by RMoney Baggers.
DeleteI don't think we've ever seen such blatant lying in a nationwide campaign. It really does make me angry to think that they're sometimes getting away with it. When Candy Crowley affirmed that the President did indeed use the term "act of terror" with regard to the attack on the consulate in Libya, I knew that that heads would explode at FAUX news. Wish that Jim Lehrer were that on the ball when RMoney spewed a record number of lies in the first debate.

Factcheck.org fact checked Obama and Romney.
ReplyDeleteRomney's aggression and anger when he asked Obama how much he reduced oil leases demanding Obama admit to Romney's lies showed a viscious Romney. My impression was Romney is accustomed to deference, his word rules and he is intolerant of anyone who does not go along with his BS.
My experience with convincing habitual liars is they react with implosive rage when someone does not buy their self serving lies and presents fact to them.
First - whenever I see displays of affection between the Obamas - they look like they're at home with each other. The Romneys kissing, on the other hand, look like they're third cousins five times removed who have to pretend to like each other.
ReplyDeleteSecond - The look Romney gave our POTUS with his eyebrows raised - don't you just know that's they way he quiets his family, and he believed it would work here?
When the Obamas show affection toward each other, it's easily believable. When the Romneys do, they remind me of third cousins five times removed who have to pretend to like each other to please the patriarch of the family.
ReplyDeleteAnd that look Romney gave our POTUS - the one with the raised eyebrows - don't you know that's how he squelches his family members dissent, and he's just flabbergasted that it didn't work here?
