Polls go other way. Obama wins next week and the election.

Welcome to four more years.

If Obama would have even attempted to show up last debate, this election would be over.

But I think tonight made up for it and then some.

POTUS looked like a lost puppy.following Romney around.

He had to promise candy a few whoopers to back him up with her lies.

She should not have been bias but she was and POTUS still lost even with the extra.time.candy.gave him.
sick...

Obama Lied.

He never mentioned terrorism on September 12th.

I'll post it all night if I have to.

www.whitehouse.gov...

No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.

The real question is this:

Did Obama or Romney fail to swing INDEPENDENTS?

Just what i though !
that was a easy win for Obama tonight
was highly confident on all front

Romney made a fool out of himself in front of millions
he showed that he is just a immature little prick with some insecurity issue
unstable and very arrogant .. always interupting the President and Candy

Obama looked so professional all the time and was also very calm
thats what Americans wants .. a REAL PRESIDENT !

the best moment was when Romney tried to speak about Obama pension
Obama answered back .. that it was nothing compare to Romney pension LOL
i Lol'ed hard on this one

Obama is CLEARLY THE WINNER
he had some Muhamed Ali strategy in him



Let the opponent waste all his energy in the first rounds and then at the end

throw the final KO uppercut !!!

Neither man is a leader nor dynamic


Either man could have won on the first question..

Answer to the kids question...

Come here kid, I am not going to make you the same lies we have heard here. Instead, *putting arm around kid* look into the cameras. All of america is watching, you have got one minute to give the employers watching why the should hire you. Is your resume on monster? Tell you what after the debate come back with me, my campaign manager, and publicist. We will help you pretty up your resume... now with america and the whole world watching you got one minute to give an interview, swing for the fences kid...

After he gives his one minute, turn around and say this is how we fix america one life at a time... we are the greatest country on this planet, its time those in power help those who need jobs... its time we use the same horse sense that we helped us in our darkest moments in our country's history. 9-11, wwII and I, Civil war, 1812 and the ARW...

Our mission is clear our goals our simple... A strong economy, strong leadership, and no corruption at the city state or federal levels...


That was the type of answer I was looking for and did not see



I did not feel the love from either side...

I am disappointed, neither man offered to by dinner first nor brought any protection

Clear victory for Obama.

Romney lying through his teeth as usual.

About time obama called him on it.

Kudos to the OP for pre-empting this thread, and the mods for directing traffic back here.

25 pages? Wow. The debate less then 20 minutes passed. I had to skip ahead to post this.

My thoughts on the debate? I've seen a slugfest in the comments so far, but I'm still voting for Romney. The topic, really, is about jobs, and the price of gasoline, and energy independence. On that, Romney won.

And...the political ads continue.....

This debate was a draw.

Romney up overall, ever so slightly, mostly because of Obama's last 4 yrs.

Wow, second person I've seen on Fox News declare Obama the winner.

Romney must have really gotten his tail kicked.

What did they say about immigrants?
Cause im looking forward to a long visit

I listened to the first question on the car radio.

Those who have stated Romney doesn't actually say anything are correct. Romney talked all around the question and never answered the question.

Obama gave direct answers.

If this is any indication of the rest of the debate - - - Romney is screwed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Romney says: I'll do this - - I'll do that . . .

He never says HOW he will do it.

Don't see it that way Romney can easily win.

Electoral map doesn't look good for him..

But I'm game, how can he easily win?

edit on 10/16/2012 by Ben81 because: (no reason given)

Exactly, I called the Rope-A-Dope after the first debate. But after the looks of this debate, I expect real punches to be thrown in the next one.

taking on the 47% deal by Romney...

Good finish but not quite enough to retake the lead..

Overall, I lean towards Romney taking this one, based on delivery...


as always.. YMMV.. just my opinion.. on to next weeks debate, and don't forget the 3rd party debate on the 23rd...

Thanks everyone for this conversation.. you guys and gals are a blast

And thanks to you, sir.

We have one more to go.

I don't think Obama swung any Independents. I'm still voting for Romney as well.

Green Party presidential candidate and VP candidate were arrested at the debate!

www.foxnews.com...

United Corporation$ of Amerika!


(bizarre i had to go to Fox News to find this story!)

Romneys tough talk towards China was laughable, he is the Outsourcing Messiah.

Typical, they only brought up point that would earn them points and not any that could cost them votes by offending anyone who might be a problem source.

Such as immigration

Obama stated immigrants would create jobs by starting new businesses. That's BS, immigrants come over, Get on government assistance programs,and only aspire to basic labor, make babies, work at Walmart, and build low riders to race and kill each other on the streets at night while we sleep. Not all, but the majority...not all.

Immigrants should take mandated classes upon becoming citizens on how to achieve higher education and better paying jobs. But they are handed a certificate with a smile, and welcome.
I know these things because I have ask immigrants this straight forward, why.

I don't think so.

I think Romney got creamed.
