Debates

[OreBama]

Obama looked and sounded like a one-termer tonight. Obama can't defend what he has done or hasn't done in many cases. I still think America is dumb enough to re-elect him, though.

Did I miss something? Obama's actually been running the country?

He has been running the country... right into the ground.

So, one of the excuses some of these guys like Matthews and Carwell are making is that Obama has had a country to run while Romney is able to build his campaign.

Did I miss something? Obama's actually been running the country?

Members of the DNC and Obama campaign said within the last two weeks - "Romney is more prepared because he's gone through several debates in the primaries" and "He's been preparing for this. His campaign depends on the debates."

Personally..I can't stand either one..It's kinda depressing knowing either one of them will be the leader of the free world..

My girlfriend knows very little about politics and doesn't care all that much for them. She knew I wanted to watch the debate tonight, so she dealt with the political world. She immediately noticed something - President Obama would immediately look down at this podium when Governor Romney would look his way. This has been a big criticism during the post-debate talk.

I refuse to watch it. But according to my facebook it seems like Romney monkey raped Obama in this one.

Lol.....

Yes, I understand Romney has done that. But "running the country" is decidedly not what Obama has been doing over the last several months.

Who are these supposed hundreds of thousands of people who are just interested enough in politics to watch this debate without having already made up their minds on who to vote for over the past year?

 

[RTR91]

My post was about the Obama campaign making excuses for the past two weeks. "Running the country" is cliche, and some will believe it.

generally i agree, but we are no longer free.

Axelrod was trying feverishly to throw in the towel all during the debate. Unfortunately he throws like Obama so it never made it to the set.

I like how the only major countries that think Romney is winning are China and Mexico.

You left out the good ole USA.

Obama has a very busy schedule. Convincing people he's done more than pass a healthcare bill many Americans didn't want, hanging out with Jay-Z, making appearances on late night shows, unnecessary apologies to other countries and taking "much needed" vacations.

I guess if he put all of that aside he could have took the time to plan out his debate.

 

[TideMan09]

You make a valid point..It's still depressing..Out of all the Americans that populate the US..These two are the best of the best too become our President..Dang..That's pretty freaking pitiful..

generally i agree, but we are no longer free.

A pundit with an ounce of honesty needs to point out the Head Scumbag has had plenty of time to go to fundraisers the last two years. Obummer himself mocked McCain with the notion that Presidents have to be able to handle more than one thing at a time. If he is incapable of doing that then he needs to resign and check into a stress center.

Once again he does something terrible - and tries to blame it on something other than himself.

 

[Bama Reb]

The one thing I noticed is that Obama constantly made false statements about what Romney's outlined plans would do, or what was Romney's intent, while Romney was steadily calling Obama on his statements and correcting him on it.
I really liked that neither candidate knew the questions ahead of time or had time to prepare for them.
Romney had his head about him and was able to clearly separate himself and rebuke the left-wing talking points.
The "teleprompter-in-chief", otoh, was lost without his puppeteers telling him what to say.

Jeff Greenfield (not exactly a Goldwater Republican) said this:

Even on the most basic political points, Obama seemed clueless.

Debates, like conventions, are now all about production and image. The dems produced a better convention. The reps produced a better debate.

Personally, I wouldn't equate conventions and debates.
