Courtesy of Politico:
When he noted that Romney has said there are fewer ships now than decades ago, Obama said that it's because that's the way a modern military works, with changing technology: "We also have fewer horses and bayonets ... We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them.…it’s not a game of Battleship."
God I loved that!
ZINGGGGGGGGGG
ReplyDeleteGovernor Pataki is now telling Lawrence O'Donnell that the MOST important thing tonight is that Mitt Romney "looked Presidential."
ReplyDeleteSadly for him the election is not a Donald Trump hosted beauty pageant.
...meaning he was tall and white.
DeleteShame on Pataki.
Pataki has always been an asshole - now -- when in office -- he was born an asshole. His ever thinking of running for office -- he knew he couldn't as he's a complete fool. Everybody knows it and he knows it to.
DeleteHe's like Palin -- he's getting face time and he's creaming his jeans it excites him so. Too bay Morning Joe & Mika don't recognize him for what he is, but then Joe is thought to be the same -- a total freaking condescending, arrogant moron
New York will still be blue tomorrow and on November 6th, NY will be blue and on Nov7 th NY will be blue. Pataki is about Pataki and he's just filling the airwaves with words that he thinks his Repug supporters will give him a few more bucks for saying the next time he feigns a run for something. He's yesterday's news. I thought he was thrown out six years ago but I guess he climbed out of the dumpster. Pataki's not a player, he's just a puppet.
DeletePataki is a nutcase, msnbc had "cable feed" problems. Whoever was sending the signal was in fits of laughter.
DeleteLoved Kerry's tweet "Hey, Obama sunk my battleship!"
He wore a suit, a tie and a flag fin. He didn't fall over in his chair. In addition to looking presidential, it's important to SOUND presidential.
DeleteRomney actually looked scared and desperate and sweaty. He was wetter than Nixon in his debate. Gross.
DeleteJust from an impression standpoint Romney didn't look bad to me. He appeared more in control than the last debate and as Steve Schmidt said last night they met their objective. But Al Sharpton had the absolute best analogy of Romney...the boxing analogy. He took jabs at Obama but then went in for the hug to avoid the big counter punch because he knew he couldnt compete with the President on foreign policy. I think initially that served Romney well but at second look people can't help but realize that Romney flip flopped once again. Voters now know less about what Mitt thinks than ever before.
DeleteBut overall the President looked confident, presidential and spoke unhesitatingly about his record and his vision for the next 4 years. It was a clear Obama win in my book and just may have inched him a bit closer to keeping the trend in Obama's direction.
Sheesh
Paraphrased by myself on behalf of President Obama,
ReplyDelete"Governor Romney, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about and why YOUR statements regarding our defense expenditures related to our capabilities are off-base and completely irrelevant. This ain't fucking beanbag, Mitt. Get outta here with your debate prep line bullshit, boy. The adults ---me and Mr Schieffer--- are having an adult discussion here."
OMG, I swear I never laughed so hard in my life! Romney got pawned! Notice how his sphincter tightened up over time and a chance to respond to President Obama?
DeleteSchieffer said something like "Well, you've been stretching it out... you'll have your chance...Mr President..." Everytime you've offered an opinion, you've been wrong!
Oh Snap!!!
Hey, Toasty's got her groove back!
Boney Boo Boo is perfect!!!
High Fives!!
Now I do look better in a Speedo than Baldy does in a bikini but, um, let me check again to be sure.. Yep, I'm sill ALL male. Not that it matters much when proffering observations on the Worst Governor Ever. I just call em like I see em. Thanks again for usage of Yhe nick Boney Boo Boo. Big royalties are sure to come to both of us!
DeleteWhere did you find that avatar? It's priceless!
DeleteThanks for the H/T but here's how I thought of it- I was going to call her "Melania Cupp Palin", but seeing your avatar inspired "Boney Boo Boo", so it was meant to be yours.
That WAS a great comment! Speaking of Trump, I read at Politico that he supposedly is going to announce something BIG about Obama on Wednesday. He's probably made up a fake birth certificate or something.
ReplyDeleteHe's announcing it on twitter, no less. Gee, when I have an announcement, I always go to social media- since no MSM outlet would give me the time of day. Hmmm- could The Donald be losing credibility with the media? About time!
DeleteThe Donald is a little butt-hurt cuz he's feeling left out of the festivities. But hell, he's just a bit more successful reality star than The Grifter, and not much more.
DeleteI'm certain the GOP wants to tamp him down about whatever he's wanting to spew about. All he can do is hurt them with Independents now.
I wonder if The Grifter has hit up the Glister for a job on Apprentice.
DeleteI honestly don't think Sarah would have the balls to be on the "Apprentice" - it would show how truly stupid she is and plus, she'd require so much of Trump that he probably wouldn't want to have her in the long run!
DeleteBut, it would be a hoot to have her on the show! Would Trump have to curtail what is said and done to Palin if she were on? I suspect he'd have to as it would assuredly be a requirement of Palin. Plus, Sarah would want to silence the others on the show as to her actions during the show...they would not be able to talk about it or write about it afterwards, I'll wager. (Much like Bristol and DWTS!)
That would be two very huge egos that would collide! Trump and Palin! Yikes!
That WAS a great comment! Speaking of Trump, I read at Politico that he supposedly is going to announce something BIG about Obama on Wednesday. He's probably made up a fake birth certificate or something.
ReplyDeletePerfect comeback! Intelligent and deadly.
ReplyDeleteThe best image of tonight's debate was Ann Romney holding on and pulling back Mitt Romney...WTF!!!
ReplyDeleteI know...weird. She looked like some 8th grader trying to pull her boyfriend away from another girl.
DeleteGet away from those people, Mitt, can't you remember that the 47% have germs?
DeleteI really thought that was weird. It was like she was trying to pull him back from some danger. WTF?
DeleteCompletely odd moment. It made Mitt look like he was feeble...that she was protecting him from falling into the audience. It made the President look just that much more vital and capable. Not sure my impression of that is what most people felt but wish they did!
DeleteSheesh
Speaking of the Donald, anyone have any idea what his 'Obombshell' news about Obama is that he's going to unleash on the world come Wednesday??
ReplyDeleteHe's says he has something on Obama that will literally cost Obama the election. Hmmm..
He'll have a Affidavit from the President's mother or father that he was not born in Hawaii!!!! LOL
DeleteOr maybe he will fly the President's half brother into town. Give him a condo in Trump Tower to tell us Obama was born in Kenya!!
Couldn't resist -- Sorry!!!!
Trump's ego is bigger than his debts. He's just trying to inject himself into the campaign, get some press, and act like he matters. I doubt it's much of anything -- other than more of his birther nonsense.
DeleteHe's going to announce the shocking revelation that Obama is NOT -- NOT -- white.
DeleteIn all seriousness, this is probably all a deflection from Gloria Allred's revelation.
either clearly stupid and desperate (remember convention surprise that everyone guessed easily) or falsely defamatory Trump ends up in jail.
DeleteWell, his last 'big anniouncement' about his paid detectives scouring Hawaii never happened. This will be another big fail for the only person with hair worse than Sarah's.
DeleteI thought he said it was something that would "possibly" change the outcome of the election.
DeleteSo, basically, more bubkes from the bellowing blowhard.
He's voting for Obama!!
DeleteROFL!!!!
I thought he had something really really big planned for Tampa. Uh...
DeleteThe Donald will reveal Obama has a vowel on the end of his name.
DeleteOh clutch the pearls and get the smelling salts, Mr Bad Hair has found out the President eats pizza with his hands. Oh the uncivilized just can't be a candidate for the Presidency.
DeleteIt's sad that Huntsman has been totally silent on Mitt and his China policy as Huntsman hit Mitt between the eyes on China in the primaries.
ReplyDeleteHuntsman is looking for his job back in China honey...plu-eze!
DeleteI heard Huntsman wants to be Sec. of State.
DeleteAbby Huntsman has spoken out more about the campaign than her Dad has
DeleteHuntsman won't be SecState under an Obama administration. Guaranteed.
DeleteWell, no. John Kerry wil take over for Hillary.
DeleteAn interview online October 17, 2012 -- Huntsman HAS made a statement about Romney and China foreign policy: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/10/17/huntsman_speaks_out
Deletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXkVZ0rloio Had to watch this old commercial in honor of that zing. Favorite of the night!
ReplyDeleteGood one. I thought I was relieved to go from "Trouble" to Battleship, but after you play that with kids a thousand times, I was glad to move on to yahtzee.
Delete...and to the bayonet response... Sen. John Kerry [@JohnKerry] tweeted "I think POTUS just sank Romney's battleship" ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso liked Kerry's comment that there will be an exorcism tomorrow!!
DeleteI think the best part of tonight's debate was the post debate gathering. Specifically, when Romney's 4 yo grandson, whom Romney was holding, reached out to be taken instead by Barack Obama, his new pal. Clearly he's not been indoctrinated over to the Dark Side yet!
ReplyDeleteLoved it!
I saw that..and did you see Ann getting her face right down there (but not too close to the kneeling President, to make sure the kid didn't say something like, "I really like you, Mr. President!" I can't visualize the Romneys interacting at all with Sasha and Malia, who are home sleeping for school tomorrow. Do none of the Romney kids go to school, ala Palin?
DeleteReally??? That's perfect!
DeleteI saw that too! Love watching how quietly focused the Pres is around small children; they know sincerity when they encounter it.
DeleteChildren know truth when they see it...
Deletehttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2221696/Presidential-debate-2012-Obama-shares-tender-moment-Romneys-grandson-heated-final-debate.html
Romney said a few times that the President continuing to 'attack' him ........WAHHHHHHH
ReplyDeleteThen within seconds was attacking the President.
Romney can dish it out, but he can't take it. He's the playground bully who got older, but not wiser.
DeleteGryphen: Did you watch after the debate? Romney's grandson (I think) made a bee line to get to Obama to shake his hand so someone picks him up and then he's still trying to get to him and then they pass him around and then Romney gets him for about 10 seconds and the kid is STIll trying to get to Obama and Obama knows whats going on and it looks like he's about to hold his arms out for him and then some unseen arms snatches the kid away and off the stage!! It was priceless and goes along with what you always say about kids and Obama... THEY LOVE HIM!! Even Mitts own grandson!!! LOL, this was a great debate... CBS poll -- 30 pts OBAMA!!!
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody have a video caption of the grandson caper? I would love to see it.
DeleteIt was priceless..that and Ann sticking her butt out, leaning over Mitt and wrapping her armns around him, then trying to pull him back from the front row...she looks so ladylike there.
DeleteI thought filling the stage with Romneys was so obnoxious. They were so rude to President Obama and to Mrs. Obama. A rather odd tactic to make it look like Mitt had won. Can't wait to hear today what Tagg "would have done" to President Obama if there hadn't been any Secret Service people there!
DeleteThis is one for the history books! President Obama even got a dig on Rafalca (or Ann or both), in a way by explaining horses and bayonnettes.
ReplyDeleteRachael is schooling Schmidt after saying "Romney's job was to look presidential, and he accomplished what he went to do" bwaaaahhhaaaa!
Can't wait for the fact checking mudslide.
Schmidt lowered the bar to Palin's level. As long as Romney stayed awake -- he won.
DeleteHe sounded just like he did after Palin's debate...
DeleteWhen challenged on Mitt's ever-changing positions, Schmitt says, "he's flexible." Yeah, that's Presidential. I guess because he didn't reach over and punch the President, they consider it winning. Whining more like it. Whining and Lying.
DeleteFrank Brookes also said that Romney "looked" presidential and that President Obama was "aggressive." Before the debate, Romney's handlers were saying that he was going to be calm and CEO-ish in their pre-debate scare tactics statement. He looked bizarre - with that funeral home smirk always on his face and with his totally off-the-subject remarks about his amazing experience as a governor. President Obama mopped the floor with Mitt Romney again last evening!
DeleteObama/Biden/Democratic Congress 2012
Beaglemom
Beaglemom, you nailed it "Funeral home smirk"!
DeleteThanks, I was trying to find those words to adequately describe Mitt's smirk, and those three hit the mark.
I kept watching the blinking and President Obama's "power stare" before responding.
Obama/Biden 2012- Give Nancy the hammer and let's roll!
Yes. That was the best comeback that President Obama gave to Romney. Romney deserved that, as he shouted another command at President Obama tonight, some order to let him finish or something.
ReplyDeletePalin tonight with Hannity was doing her reverse psychology again. She said that Romney was telling truth, and Obama was lying. She also made a statement against the President, like, lying will catch up to him. It's again, coming from the Queen of lies.
Palin isn't intelligent enough to employ reverse psychology.
DeleteI'm not aware whether Mormon's celebrate Christmas, but it was clear tonight that Romney lives in a Fairytale with Unicorns and wants Peace on Earth, Goodwill towards men.
ReplyDelete3 Shows I'm so looking forward to:
Tuesday night - Jon Stewart
Friday night - Bill Maher
SNL
Some Tweets from Bill Maher tonight was:
"Only bubbledwellers can say Mitt won"
"Mitt's entire debate strategy: What he just said, but from a white guy"
"Mitt keeps taking issue with being criticized tonight - did they tell him this is a debate?"
"OK Mitt, one more try: we have fewer catapults and barrels of boiling oil than we had in the crusades."
"OK, one last try: We have fewer Andrews Sisters and Ritz Brothers than we did in 1944. So glad we're done with THAT!"
This was really good, as Kerry said, in no other time in our history do we have 2 candidates so unbelievably unqualified, a one term governor (that sucked) and a congressman do nothing budget asshole that passed 2 bills in 14 years...changing the names of PO's. It would be funny if not so tragic.
ReplyDeleteThe line about the navy was PRICELESS and boy did Robme sweat, oh yeah. We need a new word for Liar, it just doesn't come close.
Sociopath
DeletePossibly the worst response of the debate!

I think she gets her vocabulary from us here in this blog. Spewed, petulant, thrown at a refrigerator, thrown under the bus...
DeleteShe's a regular reader all right. On the Cavuto interview she's projected herself!! If there are any psychology students out there, here is the perfect example to behold --Tyranasarah's narcissistic personality disorder.
Congratulations Gryphen!
Can't imagine a debate on foreign policy between President Obama and Sarah Palin! Mitt Romney's not to good with geography either. And the last history book he's ever read was about WW!. Where are these Republicans presidential/vice presidential candidates dug up from?
DeleteBeaglemom
Actually -- When Romney says that bringing peace to the world, we didn't ask for it, but it falls to us.
ReplyDeleteActually that's somewhat bullshit as it's NATO countries like Canada that go in to do the peacekeeping.
The US bringing peace to the world -- usually is some form of military actions -- and not peaceful ones.
You are right...Canada and Switzerland never attack anyone. I had rehearsals and so heard this on the radio at about 9:50. Romney was going on about Obama's nonexistent 'apology tour' and how we are weaker because of Obama. I mean, what would the GOP say? Nice work, Mr. President? They have to lie; they have nothing to offer but a sociopath and a skinny sociopath with huge ears and an Eddie Munster haircut.
DeleteWhere the hell did MSNBC find these ditzes on these focus groups for the debates. My head is spinning listening to them.
ReplyDeleteI'm undecided!! WTF????? What fucking rock has she been living under?????
"undecideds" at this point are either terminally stupid or attention whores, take your pick.
DeleteThey are attention whores! There was one woman who claimed she was still undecided, claiming that there are still 2 weeks left until Election Day. And another undecided voter stated that she was 50/50, leaning towards President Obama, but still not quite sure.
DeleteHmm again - the Peepond is talking about $carah on Hannity "too skinny" again.
ReplyDeleteWho the hell cares who says what about that stupid, venomous bitch? This is a thread about the president and Romney, and our country's future; we don't need to read and/or hear about what that lunatic said and what her deranged bots say, and who gives a shit whether she's skinny or fat. Can you guys please stop that B.S.? I don't even want to come to this blog anymore because of this uncalled for bullshit. Sorry Gryphen, but I've had it.
Deletebuh-bye
DeleteWow! who spiked your debate wine with bitchy powder?
DeleteAmazing -- Romney wants gender equality in the midEast but not in America.
ReplyDeleteShows that he has no clue as to their religions and believes as gender equality is even lower there than Romney's position on it for America.
Ann Coulter @AnnCoulter
ReplyDeleteI highly approve of Romney's decision to be kind and gentle to the retard
Paging Sarah and Bristol-- where's your outrage? How long will it take for you to respond to Ann's comment?
Coulter is disgusting! Just an awful woMAN.
DeleteAnn Coulter is now doing "classic Ann Coulter."
DeleteShe's desperately trying to be relevant again; Ann's just not edgy anymore just predictable.
Romney played Monday Morning Quarterback with every.single.successful policy and strategy President Obama decided.
DeleteWtf is wrong with people??
How can they see that???
President Obama mopped the floor with Mitt. I did hear a rumor that the RNC is going to start selling romney and ryan mopheads to raise money for 2016.
ReplyDeletePoor Mittens--got stomped like a narc at a biker rally.
ReplyDelete~Canuck~
Chinese $carah on Cavuto tonight - he interrupted and talked over her half the time.

Yeah what's with the pronounced puppet jaw lines? She's got on a weird pattern of nail polish like she missed some fingers and only painted the thumb. Oh, that's right, she's IM's puppet!!! I let out a "that's right, bitch!!!" after she mentioned the throwing at the refrigerator bit !! She does read IM !! Quite frequently I'm sure. She has no business critiquing foreign policy not with her experience of Putin rearing his head. What a fraud !!!
DeleteIt's Willow who is in hair school. Piper still has a couple more years before she can drop out to earn her GED.
DeleteTotally O/T!
ReplyDeletePalin Interview re: Debate #3
Did the corners of her mouth always look like a ventriloquist dummy? When did that happen?
She's in her 50's, there are wrinkles, what do you expect?
DeleteNot even. Those aren't wrinkles, those are creases formed by constant disapproval
DeleteShe is 48...wake up.
DeleteClose--- Sarah will be 49 in Feb.
DeleteThe past 4 years have been particularly hard on Palin's appearance, but she hasn't done much to improve the situation with her unnecessary surgery, unhealthy weight loss, and appearance props (wigs, inappropriate attire).
Same spew with Hannity and Cavy. Unoriginal twit
ReplyDeleteI suspect that McCain will be on the airwaves tomorrow as he was today.
ReplyDeleteEverything that McCain said today which would be Romney's positions -- Romney's said the exact opposite as he has 'hugged' all of Obama's positions.
It will be interesting to hear McCain do a 180 in support of Romney.
Their heads are spinning as they don't have a clue now because if they say up he'll say down and if they say white, he'll say black.
The ReThugs are going to all be running in circles chasing their own asses!
Totally O/T pt 2:
ReplyDelete... and her nose. Look at all those deep creases around both sides of her nose and below the corners of her mouth. WTF!?!?!?
What's your son doing in a war zone, Esther? Sure as hell isn't combat. You have a LIST? Is that like what you read and you'll get back to everyone on the rest? ZOMBIE, take your DRUG of choice and go back to bed. Michael Jackson like.
DeleteLadies start to lose elasticity in their faces in their 40's. Ms. Palin is in her 50's, what could anyone expect?
Deleteskank's still in her forties, when she hits her fifties $he's still gonna be a skank fraud
DeleteWe could expect that if she were truly a runner, her face would look healthy, as would her legs. She looks like a worn out woman nearing 70, not 50. She is 48, dear, not in her '50's.
DeleteBut when someone is full of the hate Sarah carries with her like a medal, well, it begins to show outside.
It's Juvaderm injections. None too subtle I might add.
DeleteApologies if already mentioned - have you seen the McGinniss blog on Romney?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.joemcginniss.net/rogue-blog
I can't believe I'm doing this to myself. I'm watching the debate on CNN and watching the tracki of Flordia undecided voters.
ReplyDeleteWhen Romney said he'd repeal Obamacare -- it trended down both women and men.
Something that I don't believe Romney has said before and I didn't hear MSNBC Rachel et al make mention of it that I'm aware.
ReplyDeleteWith regard to Afghanistan -- Romney said the surge worked. I don't believe there has been one Rethug say that. Romney at one point and all the other Rethugs have pushed back saying he didn't listen to the generals and send the troops in that were needed.

This is going to be interesting to watch play out tomorrow.
haven't read the comments yet but wondering if anyone noticed that Rhomey did not want to exit the stage, even though Ann was trying to guide him off stage, even after the President left the stage. Reminded me of Sarah Palin, just not budging off the stage until McCain turned off the lights. What was going on with Ann RMoney "hugging" him when he was trying to reach the audience. Weird.
ReplyDeleteI think she/he are threatened by the younger and sexier Obamas, and she wanted to pretend that they were physically close, when, I'd bet, they aren't.
DeleteAnd all those kids!...Gads, all those kids! Another thing that struck me was how, at least once during the debate, President Obama said, "I'm glad you endorse my plan (or action, or policy). I think it went over Romney's head, but in essence he was endorsing the President. Let's face it, if he thinks Obama is doing such a great job, why on earth would the country want to vote for anyone else?
DeleteI thought the "hug" was to keep Mitt Romney from falling off the stage and on to the audience.
DeleteHe saw the good press President Obama received after debate #2 when he stayed and talked to the audience for over an hour after debate. Romney, who has never had an original idea in his life, decided that he, too, would stick around and make nice to the 47%...
DeleteI noticed that too and it was very weird. She had had her hands on each side of his body, trying to suggest that it was time to go, but then she actually gave him a bear hug while trying to pull him away from the audience. Meanwhile, both Obamas were shaking hands and greeting the audience members. Something odd about Ann and Mitt.
DeleteI noticed that Princess Ann seemed to protect Romney while he was handshaking the crowd. She seemed to be afraid that he'd fall forward into the crowd was my take on it.
DeleteSuspect there might be something actually mentally and physically wrong w/Mittens. Watch how he walks - he's one weird, weird guy and we don't need he and Ryan in the White House. They scare the hell out of me as do their Mormon clan.
Speaking of aircraft carriers, here's an interesting graphic (at the bottom):

ReplyDeleteWatching their closing arguments:
Obama - both men & women tracked majority above the baseline for the whole closing.
Romney -- flatlined and at times below the line. One sliver he tracked just above the flatline - but so minimal in time, it's not worth mentioning.
And CNN says there is no clear winner. Their poll shows Obama by 8.
Oh...you're gone love this classic Palin projection!

ReplyDeleteWith pet-ulant Hannity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPvrJbSojy0
And yet the NY Times headline this morning is something about both candidates "bristling" from the beginning of the debate. I thought President Obama was brilliant last night. I loved the "horses" and "bayonets" statement because it is perfectly true. When Romney talked about all of the new ships that he would add months ago (as a sop to the military industrial pals), my first thought was that the last book he's read was Barbara Tuchman's "The Guns of August" about the naval arms race (ships) between England and Germany prior to WWI.
ReplyDeleteAnd, last night, for the longest time, I couldn't understand why Romney kept trying to change the subject and why he kept bringing up his term as governor (although as my husband said - he never mentioned the state). He was equating being governor with being president. What kind of foreign policy was he dealing with in Massachusetts? Oh, the Democrats, I guess.
Romney, with his idiotic smirk, was his usual jerk-ish self last night. And he topped it off with that ridiculous "family reunion" on the stage at the end. His obnoxious grown children kept turning their backs on the President and the First Lady. I do not think they should have been allowed to crowd the stage like that. It was an attempt to make it look like Mitt Romney had "won" the debate.
But we all know that President Obama knocked him out of the park last night.
Beaglemom
Romney has idiots advising him. The 1917 comparison based solely on the number of vessels is incredibly weak. Romney was stupid to voice it in a debate where the fallacy could be exploded so easily.
ReplyDeleteA candidate should know that you save that kind of idiot argument for the stump speech. A moronic supporter will remember and repeat it, boosting the base with mindless slogans.
Burbling it in a debate shows that Romney does not comprehend the difference between stump speech and actual POLICY.
BTW, Mitt, how many missiles did we have in 1917?
