The First Romney/Obama Presidential Debate

What the @#$% is a "Reince Priebus"? A Republican's name?

And Republicans mock Obama's name?

 

Very Republican!

ReiNCe PRieBuS

 

That would be something like Debbie Wasserman Schultz only with facts.

 

What the @#$% is a "Debbie Wasserman Schultz"? No really, I don't know either of 'em lol

 

It must really suck to be a BO defender today! That had to be the worst performance in his entire acting career, Romney laid a beat down on him so bad it reminded me of lil joe moen taking iqless to task for his stupid (joe's words) posts & comments.
I watched the MSNBC spin after the debate was over & it was pathetic. Chris Mathews was in tears, Al Sharpton was foaming at the mouth and the rest of the freak show was taking BO to task for not doing his debate prep by watching MSNBC & repeating their lies! I do have to give BO a little credit for not standing up there & defending his miserable record by repeating the myths that are manufactured & repeated by the left. I mean, really, how could BO begin to defend the soaring unemployment, soaring fuel prices & the lack of confidence the country has in him after 4 painful years of his watch?

 

Somebody is itching to have a fight.

 

I think Romney missed 2 good opportunities with BO last night.
First, BO brought up the $2.8b the federal gov't gives to big oil every year then he mentioned the supposed tax breaks given to companies that ship jobs overseas. Romney should have asked BO why he hadn't done anything about those two issues in the four years he has been in office. I did like it when Romney took it to him on Solyndra, Fisker, et al

 

I can answer this one for you AND educate you at the same time. Now who do you think has the power to change the tax code? Would it be congress or would it be the president? Take a moment, rub your head and think really hard. BINGO!!! You have learned.

From March 2012: The U.S. Senate on Thursday failed to overcome a Republican filibuster against legislation to repeal annual taxpayer subsidies that benefit the nation’s largest oil companies.

Incidentally, Obama has called for the end to this big oil tax gift in his State of the Union and countless times in stump speeches.

Do you have any other dumb questions that you'd ask?

 

Rasmussen Polls Show that Presidential Debate Last Night May Put Romney in the Lead


On Wednesday night, the first presidential debate between President Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney took place in Colorado at the University of Denver. Numerous talking heads on the left and right had been saying that if Mitt Romney did not knock it out of the park last night, he was done. However, Romney was not the only one with a lot on his plate on Wednesday, as Obama and Romney are locked in a battle over several key swing states. Now that the debate is over, both candidates must re-focus on closing the gap.
Despite the fact that President Obama is outspending Mitt Romney on TV ads, the momentum does not appear to be moving his way in certain states. Florida and Virginia both appear to be reversing course. According to a Suffolk poll, a month ago President Obama has a comfortable five point lead in both states, which now has gone down to only two points, well within the margin of error.
The same poll shows Obama's once commanding lead on foreign policy slipping down, a lead that Romney could eat into further as more facts about the attack on the Libyan Consulate become known. House GOP leaders have begun to investigate the matter, especially after learning that requests by the Libyan consulate for improved security were denied multiple times.
According to Rasmussen, Mitt Romney is now ahead of Obama in North Carolina, 51% to 47%. North Carolina, like Virginia and Florida, is a must-win for Romney. And a recent poll conducted by National Journal showed Mitt Romney once again in the lead with independent voters, 49%to 41% The two are tired overall across the country at 47% each.
That amazing Obamacare everyone is supposed to love? Well, apparently 55% of doctors didn't get the memo. While the sample for this particular poll is not perfect, it's a much more accurate representation of the electorate than some more recent atrocities that the mainstream media has tried to feed people.
Buried within each poll is a series of mixed messages that makes it very difficult to see how this election will play out. While President Obama leads with women, Mitt Romney leads with men. Romney continues to hold commanding leads with independents, while Obama continues to receive strong support from the African American and Hispanic communities.
And there are other developments that will no doubt have an impact, even if it is only a small one. Recently, a special broadcast on Univision excoriated President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder for the "Fast and Furious" scandal, most notably for the deaths of dozens of individuals in Mexico. On top of that, a video of then-candidate Obama from 2007 has emerged which may change some voters' minds. While the video was previously released five years ago, the ad-libbed parts of the speech were not. Many people may come to find these remarks about white people and those living in the suburbs to be rather offensive or inflammatory. (Full video (see link below) appears on the third page of the article.)
Those inside the Obama camp that are hoping that the videos from the past will stop shouldn't hold their breath. The Daily Caller dropped a second video on Wednesday, this time showing Obama in 2002 attacking wealthier Americans. Obama now has to compete with the same kind of bad press that Romney has been dealing with for months.
The presidential debate last night, combined with this polling data, should have President Obama worried. Romney has worked his way back up to striking distance in just four weeks. Last night's debate, which has been called for Romney, could tip the balance permanently.

It seems to me we have discussed this several time before. Somehow it has always been Bush's fault even though it was the democrats who were in charge of the congresses when the crash hit. BTW, it was the Republicans who were in charge when Clinton balanced the budget. Need I go on?

 

When I was about 12, this fat kid, wanting to be a bully, kept trying to punch me, never connecting. He telegraphed every throw, making it a simple manner to evade 'em.

That's a lot like David's & Coin's idiocy when they suggest I take orders from you. That would make them idiots, IMHO ...Maybe I should let them in on how I eventually got tired of the bully and beat the snot out of him. Nah. I'll just beat the snot out of 'em (figuratively, of course) at my leisure.

Weeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaak

 

I disagree, you can't educate "duh" type people.

 

Gore blames Denver altitude for Obama's debate performance​

View attachment 624

It was the altitude. Yeah, that's it.

As liberal pundits cringed Wednesday night over President Obama's debate performance, Al Gore leapt to his defense with a curious explanation.

If Obama seemed like he had his head in the clouds, the former VP reasoned, perhaps it was because he was having trouble adjusting to the Mile-High City.

"I'm going to say something controversial here," Gore said on Current TV, the channel he helped found. "Obama arrived in Denver at 2 p.m. today, just a few hours before the debate started. Romney did his debate prep in Denver. When you go to 5,000 feet, and you only have a few hours to adjust, I don't know ..."

Gore trailed off with a chuckle, but his fellow co-hosts chimed in with agreement.

"Exactly," one of them said off-screen.

Co-host Cenk Uygur noted how when he came from Los Angeles, "You know what I did? I drank two cups of coffee before coming out here."

Another guest added: "It's really different. The first time I ever did stand up in Denver I had the same exact effect. I flew in that day and when your lungs aren't acclimated to that kind of air, yeah it makes you drawn. It makes you off. The president had an off-night."

Other Obama supporters weren't quite so willing to give the president a pass.

"I can't believe i'm saying this, but Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter," comedian and Obama supporter Bill Maher tweeted.

Why did the left wait until March 2012? What was wrong with Jan 2008? Ummm, yeah, that's what I thought.

 

Obama's debate performance last night was worst than his debate performance with Clint Eastwood at the convention.

 

Didn't watch it. Went online and shopped for some Philips Electronics products.

 

Not seen the debate in full only a few snippets but the BBC pundits reckon Romney came out in front.

Bush was president in 2008.

 

OMG! Do you listen to yourself or just post the left's mantra?

Now just think who was in charge of congress in 2008. That would be the dips, right? It certainly was not Bush.
