| "Let me just say right now, I got this." |
It would seem to me that the town hall format for tonight's debate favors the President, but Romney has demonstrated himself to be an incredible opportunist who will take advantage of any chance to change his stated positions to fit the expectations of the crowd. Essentially if left unrestrained by the kind of fact checking provided by Joe Biden during the VP debate, Romeny will present himself as all things to all people.
So the President is going to have to be not only on HIS game, but nailing Romney down on his positions as well. Unless of course moderator Candy Crowley is willing to take a stand for truth and refuse to let Mitt the Twit bullshit his way through yet another piece of political performance art.
I will, as usual, be tweeting my impressions during the debate which you all can check here. I will also try and keep up with the comments here so that you can share your thoughts and feelings as well.
While we are waiting I thought I would share with you this picture of a beaming Michelle Obama, who sent in her absentee ballot yesterday.
The President did as well, which I understand is the FIRST time that a sitting President of the United States has ever taken the opportunity to vote early. Something by the way that I think we ALL should take advantage of just as soon as early voting starts in our area.
So get your popcorn out kids, and the beverage of your choice, and let's get ready to witness the rematch of the century. Let's just hope that this time the Champ is ready to go all Mike Tyson on Romney's ass if he starts using cheap shots or low blows.
Update: The moment Obama won the debate:
What's the drinking word...?
ReplyDeleteor just
Every-time rMoney Lies?
FlOTUS looks beautiful and wtf is Ann wearing around her neck? Glass? tacky, tacky.
Let's drink to every Mitt lie. I'll go first...he said he was for Pell Grants. You lie!
DeleteAw, no team pcked Bitchtol - ha ha ha ha!
ReplyDeleteBarstool got voted off!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha. Fatty got eliminated. Or, er, should I call her Chinny?
ReplyDeleteBristol has left the building...
ReplyDeleteOT Spoiler Alert!
ReplyDeleteBeefy and Mark are toast!
Gone!
She doesn't look happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mitt is morphing into obama - all of a sudden he is pro-college with student loans?
Deleteobama hits the first "He isn't telling the truth"
Deleteromney has a 1 point plan - folks at the top play by different rules.
candy lets romney interrupt her? guess not - so romney doesn't get to lie about him lying about jobs.
DeleteHA.
build new energy sources right here in the united states....obama
Deleteromney is countering that oil production is down on federal land (like 9 or 10 percent) because obama....blah blah
bakken shale in wyoming was stopped for a couple of birds....romney
romney is spinning energy independence in 8 years.
candy asks about gas prices -- she knows and we know that the president controls the damn gas prices.
not true governor romney
Deleteromney is interrupting obama about offshore and public land
obama kicks RR's ass by showing that we won't let oil companies sit on leases where no one has acted.
romney is stepping on candy. candy needs to give him some evil eye.
Deletecrap -- i meant everyone knows the President CANNOT control gas prices.
DeleteWhat will Sarah say about Romney with Crowley?
Delete"It reminded me of watching a musk ox run across the tundra with somebody underfoot and in this case when it came to style it was Paul Ryan underfoot of the moderating allowing Biden to do the interrupting, to kind of take control of the conversation."

Bitch went down! Bitch went down!
ReplyDeleteGreat news and start for the Debate, lets home POTUS knocks rMoney out of the running too!
DeleteOMG! The bitch went down...RMoney bitch! 47% &POTUS took his ass out....!
DeleteBristol goes home! Yae!!! Now on to the debate.
ReplyDelete10cats
Remember its a double if anyone mentions Palin.
ReplyDeleteOh Shit!
ReplyDeleteRomney just started and I need to restock my liquor cabinet!
President Obama is nailing him!
If this is gonna be a contest on who can Bill Clinton the best in this town hall format, which is what Chris Matthews suggested earlier on "Katie", you know Romney is going to fail big time at making that personal connection.
ReplyDeleteLooks like President Obama has taken the gloves off!
ReplyDeleteI'm still convinced that Obama was instructed to purposely throw the first debate. My partner and I have both commented that Obama didn't even *attempt* to change his basic tactics during the debate. I think most politicians, let alone anyone as smart as him, would know enough to try new techniques if they were taking a beating in a debate. The fact that he didn't even attempt to change course during the debate makes me think that he had been specifically instructed *not* to.
ReplyDeleteWhen you think about it, it makes sense. Before the first debate, Obama was widely touted as the greatest orator since Lincoln while it pretty much sounded like all Mitt had to do was avoid accidentally setting his podium on fire. If Obama won it would have gotten a giant "so what? He was SUPPOSED to win" from both liberals and conservatives alike.
By letting Mitt win Round 1, Obama's campaign has created an opponent that actually seems to be worth beating to some people (yes, they had to do this themselves - Mittens certainly wasn't stacking up on his own!) Nobody is impressed when you jump over a six-inch hurdle - you have to raise the hurdle up a bit before anybody starts to call you a good jumper.
My prediction is that Obama will absolutely eviscerate Mitt in this debate (looks like that's what he's doing so far! Booyah!) and continue to trounce him in the third. The only difference is that now it's exciting and a comeback and news worth reporting, rather than simply "what was supposed to happen".
I agree! He also saw the salesman Romney and knew he would repeat the same things, which he is doing, and O is kicking his ass because he set him up in debate 1. As he said right after the bump from Palin in the polls, Chill the fuck out. I got this!
DeleteAgreed!! Obama plays the long game, he totally set up Mitt to take a giant fall!!
DeleteI agree and have thought that from the beginning. You summed it up really well!! As many have said Obama is playing chess and the rest are playing checkers.
DeleteAgreed.
DeletePresident Obama made himself the under dog.
Think about the intestinal fortitude it took to "throw" the first debate, and receive the nation (world?) ~ wide thumping?!
This President has earned four.more.years.
President Obama comes out swinging... and connects on Romney's glass jaw right out of the chute.
ReplyDelete(paraphrased)
"Mitt Romney doesn't have a 5-Point plan, he's got a One-point plan. And that is making sure that the richest 1% play by a different set of rules"
---President Barack Obama
GAS PRICES ARE SET ON THE WORLD MARKET! Jeesh!
ReplyDeleteWhat part of lets get off the oil teat can people not understand?!
i am with you hedgewytch -- the gas price myth is media-driven and something they think folks will fall for......obviously the international gas suppliers control the price.
DeleteHahha! Snort on "I'm just being consistent". Direct hit!
ReplyDeleteTalking about energy...Obama said that "little of what Mitt said is true" Love it! Go Obama!
ReplyDelete"Much of what Governor Romney said just isn't true..."
ReplyDelete---President Obama
Oooh, where I have heard that "unproductive leases" being yanked before?
ReplyDeleteA little tussle between the two on energy. PBO is repeating over and over "it's just not true Gov Romney"
ReplyDeleteYay!
"Its conceivable that Governor Romney could bring down gas prices with the same policies that put us into this recession, the worst since the Great Depression."
ReplyDeletePresident Obama
Obama is doing great and Romney is being a bully.
ReplyDeleteSurely the American people are seeing this.
The "That was a statement, not a question" comment by Romney will bite him in the ass, big time. Debate the facts, but don't disrespect the office of the President.
DeleteRomney's super anal retentive about getting his share of the time, what an asshat!
I watched romneys time clock go to zero,
DeleteAnd he continued to talk,
And talk,
And talk,
And TALK!!!
I was yelling at that bitch to shut him up, and THEN she says to OUR PRESIDENT ~
"QUICKLY"
!!!!
She disrepected my President WAY TOO MANY TIMES!!
I think Romney is making it up as he goes along now!
ReplyDeleteMitt is coming off as a bully and he's spouting the same lies he spouted last time.
ReplyDeleteGov. Romney, who now says he's the "energy-independent" candidate stood in front of a coal plant in 2003: "I will not create jobs that kill people."
ReplyDeleteRomney is a control freak!!! An arrogant control freak!!
ReplyDeleteMy big although not unexpected takeaway. What an ass.
Deletewhat is up with Romney and his tax "plan" where he says "i will just throw out a number" for deductions. now it is $25,000 for deductions.
ReplyDeleteif folks just thought about that for a second - if you had high medical expenses, kids in college, young children, and a mortgage -- would that be more than $25,000 for middle class?
President Obama is on point tonight!
ReplyDeletenow romney is not going to cut taxes for wealthy people...says they will continue to pay 60%
ReplyDeletewhen did wealthy people pay 60 percent?
I think that he is saying they pay 60% of the total taxes paid, not a 60% rate. I don't know if this is true or not.
Deletefuck romney (ooh i hope that gets through) - blaming the years of high unemployment on obama is SICK.
ReplyDeleteit was BUSH and obama has brought us back from the brink of destruction to positive growth for the past year or more.
It got through, it's ok, we're adults!
DeleteAnd people think Ann never worked outside the home?
Romeny says "energy independence in 5 years" - Where the hell did he pull that out from? Oh, yeah, out of his ass.
ReplyDeleteHe said 8 yrs 15 minutes ago,,,lol
Deletefirst: I do hope obama,mops the floor with Romney.
ReplyDeletesec: has anyn one noticed that when ever romney is speaking to the american public(like Now) he suddenely has way more grey at the temples. Now why is that?
borrowed from a poster at Juanita Jeans..no explanation needed,
ReplyDeletehttp://www.romneytaxplan.com/
That's hilarious cause it's true that you can't pin him down. When a lady asked what tax deductions he would cut, he never answered that and droned on about other stuff.
DeleteDammit, I can't catch up with the details... lol
DeleteMyth Romney - Of course the numbers add up! I'm wearing my Magic Underwear so it will work just way I want it to! Just like my Olympic budget that somehow now was balanced....LMAO!
ReplyDeleteDuring the last debate when we all assumed our president would provide nothing less than an absolute bloodletting against Romney, my beloved and I had a laid back, humorous approach toward watching it. We had friends over, had it catered with fun foods, etc. Then it was dismal. Nobody was laughing, nobody was eating the Obama Po'Bama sandwiches- it was just no fun.
ReplyDeleteFor the VP debate, we had a smaller group and made the food ourselves. We knew Biden had the kind of attitude which would not allow for Ryan's asinine lies and fake anecdotes. And it was fun- we even had to abandon our drinking game shortly after it started in order to stay conscious for the rest of it.
But THIS debate. . .we have approached with great trepidation. Although we ate truly stunned so many tens of millions in America seem to back Romney in the polls- the truth is this is a close race. I feel if Romney gains any more momentum tonight, the republican powers that be (the money guys) might just feel confident enough to try stealing this election, too. They did it once and got away with it- and look how our country suffered.
No, tonight Menschie and I are alone- no guests, no party noisemakers, no plates of "limbaugh cookies" (sugar cookies with "oxy contin" iced on them.)
Tonight we are solemn and scared. We NEED the bloodletting we thought we were getting at the first debate. We know our President has it in him. Run wild, Mr. President. Tonight, take one look at that smug son of a bitch and run WILD.
Nyah....LMAO! Girl he DID run wild all over that smug magic underwear LIAR! It was a thing of beauty! And then the cherry on top...
DeleteBEEFY GOT THE BOOT ON DWTS!!
Addendum:
DeleteOk- now we're laughing and having fun!
At one point, President Obama was tooting his own horn about all his achievements. Ann Romney up in the left side, but in the group PResident Obama was addressing, as he ticked off accomplishment after accomplishment to the audience, the look on Ann's face was priceless. Her face went from lily white with rouge on her cheeks, to beet red. Clashed with her dress something awful!
DeleteShe sat there, transfixed and focused like a laser, she was seething inside, and you could see it got under her skin.
what if they don't add up -- of course they add up - i ran the olympics, i balanced the budget in MASS....
ReplyDeleteooooh.. romney says obama sounds "foreign"
bingo -- drink em padres.
I wish Obama had nailed him on the Olympics. The big balancer ONLY saved the Olympics by using a billion and a half of OUR money...and then he funneled contracts to his Mormon buddies, so they made a nice profit. And the legislature in MA balanced the budget because they have to. And he left the state bleeding jobs. So yeah, Mitt is a liar.
Deleteromney is fucking rude now by talking over candy.
ReplyDeleteshut Romney Up!!!! make him sit down
ReplyDeleteRMoney is coming across as very rude, running ramshod over Candy. He keeps interrupting her and shouting her down.
ReplyDeleteWhat a jerk!
R in NC
P.S., Glad the fat piggy is gone on DWTS!
Romney keeps talking and arguing with Candy. Does not look good. PBO talking Lilly Ledbetter.
ReplyDeletepay equity for women.....lily ledbetter
ReplyDeletenow romney is a supporter of women by asking folks to go finds some that are qualified for cabinet positions.
romney is going full liberal now talking about flex-time for full-time working moms.
Romney said
Delete"if" companies want to hire women (wtf?)
He will make them "incredibly attractive" to the workforce.
I missed the binder comment.
He got me at IF!!
romney says he knows what a good economy looks like.
ReplyDeletesooooo, when bain outsourced jobs overseas was that a good economy?
We all know that...see the Clinton years. See the past year under Obama. See the future with a Democratic Congress and Obama...the economy will thrive.
DeleteOh so it's the magical solution again - to get more woman equal job rights, he'll just make more jobs and the bosses will just hire women naturally and it will all be wonderful and sparkly.
ReplyDeleteBut really, since they refuse to work unil 10PM, they will be 'allowed' to return home to cook dinner and help with homework, but they can't expect to receive the same pay because they are women, and they don't work 60 hour weeks. Or something. He lost me in there.
DeletePBO is kicking ass on women's issues!
ReplyDeleteApparently Romney loves the ladies.
ReplyDeleteHas "binders full of them."
that was weird.
Deletei like that obama is taking time to call romney on "getting tough on china" when he outsourced to china....
Deletegovernor - you will be the last person to get tough on china
obama -- we are bringing cases against unfair trade practices and won every one of them.
And it was a lie, of course. Women put together those resumes before the election and gave them to both candidates. I can find no proof that Romney ever hired one woman for his cabinet..WIKI says he chose people based on their managerial experience...how many women does he know with that?
DeleteI love this from the Pres "These are not just woman's issues, they're family issues."
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteSo, SO important!!
DeleteWow, RMoney is coming across as a big douche.
ReplyDeleteYes, the real Romney is on full display this evening. And he is not a nice man.
DeleteRomney - I'm not Bush - I want to invade Iran, not Iraq. And I want to punish China while I continue to ship our jobs to them.
ReplyDelete"Governor, you're the LAST person who is going to get tough on China."
ReplyDeletePresident Obama
Out sourced jobs? funny just this week Bain sent more jobs to china
ReplyDeleteUnder Obama, Chinese companies send job to the US. Check out Lenovo.
Deletezing -- obama calls out the differences between romney and bush -- and not the good things.
ReplyDeletejabs romney about medicare vouchers, banning planned parenthood, etc.
Oh, slam again! The response from the PTOS with the mostus on how Romney is different than Bush. LMAO
ReplyDeleteObama on difference between Bush and Romney: "George Bush didn't call for turning Medicare into a voucher system. George Bush never suggested eliminating Planned Parenthood. George Bush supported comprehensive immigration reform—he didn't call for self-deportation."
ReplyDeletenow romney is saying obama said that unemployment would be 5.4 percent.
ReplyDeleteanyone ever heard of that before?
is mitt making up shit or what?
Obama should tell him that had his party passed the American Jobs Act, it probably would be 5%..which of course they plotted not to allow to happen.
Deletereagan recession -- romney gets a gold star from the base for bringing up reagan before the first hour is up.
ReplyDeletedrink.
romney - we welcome LEGAL immigrants.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama is kicking ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd without ever raising his voice or giving an angry look. I LOVE our President, and he just earned himself anothe r four years.
Deleteagain with the green card stapled to visa application....romney
ReplyDeleteromney will not grant amnesty to immigrants who come here illegally.
RR will sanction them
RR will not give drivers license
RR kids should have a pathway to permanent to citizenship - and military service is one of those pathways (romney)
If the GOP had agreed to the national ID card, we would not be having this discussion.
DeleteAnd by the way, Mr. Romney, just where will you be voting? Since you own property in three or four states, what will stop you from submitting multiple absentee ballots? We know you lie; are you guilty of voter fraud as well? Prove it.
Yea, give them all green cards with their diplomas so they can come here and take our jobs..this guys so full of Bull Shit!!!
ReplyDeleteobama -- fix the broken immigration system. fixed all i could on my own (streamline the system)...but have been stymied by congress.
ReplyDeleteI think Romney burned his toast on the immigration comment.
ReplyDeleteobama calls out romney for saying he would veto the DREAM act.....calls out romney on the arizona law of checking brown people's papers.
ReplyDeleteVery telling when PBO said he didn't want his daughters ~ or yours ~ to be pulled over for not looking American.
Deleteromeny makes me ill.
ReplyDeletenow he is defining "self-deportation" as a humane way to deal with immigration by denying people a place to live and a place to work.
so what kinds of federal laws would be enacted to do THAT?
blind trust explanations by asking obama if he looks at his pension.
ReplyDelete"let me give you some advice, you also have investments outside the US"
romney compares his private blind trust investments to obama's public pension fund that is controlled by illinois legislature.
Deleteasshole
Romney practiced that line for weeks, there's no way it was spontaneous. Blind trusts and pension investments aren't the same at all.
DeleteI thought Romney had no idea what was in his gigantic blind trust, or even WHERE the money is. Seems he has a lot of knowledge about it after all.
DeleteNext moderator needs to have some fucking balls! None of the telling Romney 10 times to sit the fuck down, we need Samuel L. Jackson up there for the next one. He'll tell Romney to Sit The Fuck Down and Shut the Fuck UP...and he'll tell him once and that's it, then he gets up and gets serious...I hate this fat fucking twit Candy Crowley, she's absolutely worthless!
ReplyDeleteMr. Romney you may SIT DOWN and SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Deletenow a question about funding security at embassies -- uh hey brain trust at global whatsitsname -- the attach was at the CONSULATE.
ReplyDeletewhich was hundreds of miles away from the EMBASSY.
and best to ask republicans why they wanted to reduce the dollars.
They DID vote against the money for extra security. And the money for returning vets. The GOP is the party of hypocrites and liars. One more debate will end their tenure as obstructionists.
Deleteobama -- i am ultimately responsible -- i greet the coffins when they come home
ReplyDeletei mean what i say.
shazam.
Pres. just hit Old rom in the b----.go for it pres.
ReplyDeleteI think President Obama was genuinely angry and upset about Romney's actions during the Benghazi incident.
ReplyDeleteAs we all were.
Deleteromney --- obama lead an apology tour -- total lie
ReplyDeleteYes, the President called him out as often as he could. Romney lied far more often than he told truths...I do hope someone fact checks him today on the whole performance. And the Queen looked a bit haggard last night, while Michelle was shaking hands and tkaing pictures with anyone who was nearby.
Deleteobama is boldly taking all blame for libya. he is being presidential.
ReplyDeleteobama -- you are offensive.
ReplyDeleteto be clear - obama called romney offensive over the politicization of the libya attack.
Deleteobama -- get the transcripts
ReplyDeletecandy -- he did call it an act of terror in the rose garden
Romney: kids getting married will lessen gun crime. Uh...o.k.....
ReplyDeleteHAs he talked to Sarah about this?
DeleteRight,
DeleteBecause married couples aren't serving our country overseas, right mitt shit?
And partners don't die, right?
Single parents are just horny black and latinos who are lazy (except for all that sex!) and live high on the hog with their food stamps and WIC.
YUP.
They don't want the"dignity" of a "job" (hi, queen ann!)
I fucking hate this scumbag.
He is the ODD MAN OUT!
two parents in the home will prevent AK-47's in the hands of criminals.
ReplyDeletetwo parents prevents poverty
change the way our culture works?
romney rolling through the weeds cause he can't say he is for gun control.
brings up fast and furious....
Romney is getting destroyed.
ReplyDeleteSo Romney says "manufacturing is going to China". Ah, that would be a big "YES", courtesy of Bain!
ReplyDeleteD'oh!
PMom_GA
china is the largest manufacturer in the world. romney putting on his sad voice that "some folks think it is more attractive for companies to go offshore....i am going to make it more attractive to have companies come to america"
ReplyDeleteromney is mimicking obama on that message
i find it incredulous that romney would say that companies that outsource to china are bad - when he has done that himself
he says on day-1 he will call china a currency manipulator.
uh...romney...psst - you just did that, but now obama gets to deal with the blowback.
nice.
romney says get rid of regulations and taxes on businesses and magically they will stay in the US.
ReplyDeletebusinesses go to other countries because of PAYROLL
As he knows full well. As usual, he tried to attack Obama rather than give us details on any plans he has hidden away.
DeleteWow!! Romney talking about jobs here? when he, has been partly responsible for the jobs leaving the country.Loike I said before, Bain(Romneys comp) still,just shipped jobs from Ohio to china.Big question Romney, how did that happen?
ReplyDeleteI wish someone had brought up Sensata. Bain has the American workers training the Chinese to take their jobs, and Sensata (Bain) is movin g equipment to China from IN as we speak.
Deletecandy asks how can we bring Apple manufacturing back to the US understanding that the issue is payroll costs
ReplyDeleteromney -- blathered and ran out of time
candy says - we can't compete with wages
obama - high skill, high wage jobs
obama -- solution to china jobs is to innovate the next big industry....
ReplyDeletebasically, let's not cry over spilled jobs -- lets move forward and create new ones.
romney -- goverment doesn't make jobs
okaaay.....so how would you make jobs as president?
Actually, the government is the largest employer, and the reason we are not recovering faster is that revenue starved states have laid off teachers, firefighters, and police officers to try to stay afloat. Public sector jobs are the ones fueling this unemployment data...when they come back, the country comes back.
Deleteromney is going full whine -- obama is characterizing me as someone i am not.
ReplyDeleteoh can't wait to hear obama's response.
romney - i believe in god. served as a missionary, served as a pastor (actually a bishop which is not a pastor)
romney - taking credit for Romneycare
romney - taking credit for good schools in MASS that were already top schools before he was elected.
gah.
Notice he did not take responsibility for ruining job growth there...when he left office they were 47th. And about balancing the budget? That is required in the state Constitution, and the Democratic legislature had to sign off on his cuts and fees garbage. He didn't balance anything. What a liar. Exposed. Well played, Mr.President.
Deleteromney uses his whisper serious voice.
ReplyDeleteYep Rom, you were A pastor in your church. and you tried to inforce women, who came to for advice,to give their children away.
ReplyDeleteAnd he tried to make one of the women in his congregation not have an abortion when doctors told her that her life was at risk.She said screw you Romney and had her abortion and left the church.Now living happily with her husband and 4 children.Make no mistake Romney is a piece of shit.
DeleteYup. And he equates his time as a Mormon missionary with time young men spent being shot at in Viet Nam. Romney has simply no concept of where the line is between religion and reality.
Deleteobama - i believe the free enterprise system is the greatest system.
ReplyDeleteeveryone should have a fair shot, should play fair, should play by the same rules
that is what is at stake in this election.
obama - brings up the 47 percent and asks the country "what do you think that means" to you.
i want to fight for THEM - because if they succeed, the country succeeds.
GI Bill wasn't a handout - it advanced the country
obama went to the mat for the 47 percent.
ReplyDeleteobama/biden 2012 -- four more years
DAYUM !!!
ReplyDeleteObama got the last question, and brought up the 47 percent tape and who that represents, after Romney gave his "I believe in God, I was a missionary in france, I care deeply for people, I was a bishop for ten years. I know how to created jobs.
Holy Fricken Shit!! Barack Obama IS the game changer!!!!
Well played, Mr President! Obama won on every point. Three dimension Whack A Mole!!!
+10!!!
DeleteOh yeah, I enjoyed that. Well done Mr. President, well done!
ReplyDeleteWhen Romney speaks of energy independence for North America. I'm sure Canada would tell him to fuck off as it's not his business to deal with their laws and regulations. Canada is not the 51st State.
ReplyDeleteI wish Obama had told Romney that that Canadian pipeline he's so hyped about would carry Canadian tar sands sludge over OUR aquifers and private propperty, to the gulf, where WE would have to deal with the air pollution, asnd then be loaded onto THEIR ships and off to THEIR markets. We would in no way benefit from this. They want to run the pipeline through America because Canada does not ahve a port deep enough for a supertanker, AND some of the Canadian states know the danger and do not want the pipeline runnig through THEIR areas. But I'm sure Mitt's blind trustees have oil stocks, and just see profit.
DeleteI just saw Obama wipe the floor with Romney. I think this was a game changer.
ReplyDeleteWhew! Barack is back in town!
ReplyDeleteAnd George Romney showed his true colors: a patriarchal bully.
Only wished there had been a question about Republican Congressional obstruction...Pres Obama addressed it when he had the opportunity.
Aurora
Was that the first time the Romney's tried this?
ReplyDeletehttp://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/10/17/article-2218856-158A1E22000005DC-715_636x383.jpg
Hah! That picture is hilarious. I think it must be the first time for the Romneys.
DeleteHaven't read all comments yet, so apologize if this is a repeat, but check this out - a website where you can (try) to get the details of Romney's tax plan:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.romneytaxplan.com/
lol
DeleteMy son sent this to his Civics teacher who then added it to his Facebook page. Today they are discussing the issues being debated.
OK, this town hall meeting was a group of 20 undecided voters that represent the American populace. Correct me if I'm wrong, but one African American, two Latino's and 17 Whites IS NOT a representative sample.
ReplyDeleteI think their questions were great, and President Obama clearly connected and answered their questions. Romney kept cutting people off, acting like a fool over allotted time, and evading the answers people needed.
The republicans are complaining that gas is too high and it's Obama's fault, they're saying people can't afford to go to and from work. Well pick one and stick with it. Do unemployed people need gas to go to work?
Wow, Romney and Todd have something in common! "Binder full's worth of women", Hoo Gnu????????
Also, too, I predict Obama gets a big bump that lasts longer than Sarah's last pregnancy, and a four year Wild Ride.
Four More Years!
What a night! Beefy gets eliminated and Obama handed him rope and let him hang himself. The Rose Garden exchange and Candy's live fact checking were brilliant!
OK, this town hall meeting was a group of 20 undecided voters that represent the American populace. Correct me if I'm wrong, but one African American, two Latino's and 17 Whites IS NOT a representative sample.
DeleteHow do you know this wasn't a representative sample of UNdecided voters? Perhaps those three were the only undecided ones who could be found!
That may be a "representative sample" of stupid in this country. How can anyone not know at this point who they will vote for? The GOP has been in our face for two years now. We've heard Mitt Romney's zigzag, flipflop positions on every possible issue known to man - except, perhaps, what he really thinks of the separation of church and state.
DeleteIronic that the Republicans are complaining about gas prices! When George W. Bush was president, gas prices flirted with $5.00 a gallon here in northern Michigan. Remember when Michele Bachmann said that gas cost $1.78 a gallon when President Obama took office? Maybe when George W. Bush took office but then gas prices rose to the stratosphere. Prices may be high now but not nearly as high as when the GOP was last in the White House.
DeleteDon't take anything for granted.Get out and vote.
ReplyDeleteIf Romney's balls aren't throbbing like a toothache, it's because he ain't got any. Because President Obama just finished kicking ol' Mittens where they'd be if he had a pair.
ReplyDelete
DeleteAnd that right there is a beautiful synopsis of the night! Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo. Way to go President O!!!
So damn glad to NOT be a Republican. :-)
ROFLMFAO!
DeleteFor me....the best part was the look, the face, his steeley ass EYES when Obama took down Robme about the terrorist thing. OMG he was so damn scarey, his eyes were so wide and glaring right thru that asswipe when he talked about his team and being there when the coffins came home standing with the families...how friggin offensive that was to make it political. I loved it, you could see how mad he was, it was great. I think it all went great, but that for me...that look and tone should raise fear in the world about this guys balls. Amen Barak, I love you.
ReplyDeleteKudos to Candy Crowley too...the 2 women kicked ass in my book. Bristol losing is just the cherry on top...sigh.
POTUS did a helluva job with his genuine serious angry face. Of course it's easy when he was speaking from his heart and expressing the disgust that many Americans felt toward Romney's asinine, self-serving comments right after our Lybian Consulate in Benghazi was attacked.
DeleteThat's where Obama won the debate, right there.
DeleteRomney came off as a bullying pompous ass! He showed his true colors; certainly not the ones I want to see in a president.
ReplyDeleteBest news, Bitchdull voted off of DWTS...shouldn't have been on to begin with.
Riddle me this ... Romney says "i know how to create jobs", like a dozen times. But he ends with "government doesn't create jobs" WTH?
ReplyDeleteRomney knows how to create jobs - in China. Just ask the former workers at companies shut down by Bain. All of that nonsense about how the "government doesn't create jobs" is pure GOP idiocy.

ReplyDeleteBEST smackdown of the debate - Rmoney asks President Obama "Have you seen your pension lately"? The President replies to Rmoney, "Obviously your pension is WAY bigger than mine". FUCKIN' A MR. PRESIDENT!!! Kudos to Ms. Crowley for doing some fast fact-checking and verbally bitch-slapping the arrogant ass Rmoney!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have stressed so much during the endless campaign (at least on the GOP end) that we simply cannot watch the debates. I was delighted though when our son called about 15 minutes after it ended with the news that President Obama was in grand form. I saw a photo of him yesterday and he looked relaxed so I had great hopes. Of course this morning's NY TImes headline is something about tension and clashes. Our son said that Mitt Romney was testy and that President Obama set him straight on a number of matters. Yay Team Obama!

Romney interrupted, spoke over, disrespected, lied, and spun, spun, spun.
