Presidential Debate Thread - Obama vs. Romney (2 Viewers)

[Rohn Jambo]

Both of them are doing better than I expected but this debate is really wonky and downright boring.Hurts Romney because he needs to win these big.

True. Very boring.

 

[Ursa M]

Romney is both waffling and lying here

Most people already voting for Obama are not watching this, it's not a joke it's the truth. Obama really doesn't have to score a lot, can basically smile and act calm.

He even embraced the term Obamacare, that used to be a put down now he wears as a badge of honor.

Here comes some edgy commentary! I just know it!

EXPLOIT Romney'AVOID Obama

As an ex-consultant, it's amusing to see Romney's obsession with mentioning McKinsey....the only one of the "big 3" consulting firms he never worked for.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Why does Romney appear to be crying at all times?

magical underwear shrinks with sweat

This makes more sense than anything either of the two of them has said tonight.

 

[Thunderlips]

Mitt....you can't win on the Obamacare thing. You just can't.

at Romney defending a plan that is largely identical to the one he is criticizing

Obama stepped right into the trap.

 

[Ursa M]

Romney is definitely on the back foot here.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

This debate is so far over the heads of most American's.

And that's why Obama will win and Romney will lose. You've got to win over the stupid to win the election, because the majority of our population is stupid.

But to the extent that the debate affects the race, those people are probably going to go with the guy who looks the part and so far that's been Romney.

The debate has ZERO affect.Romney is winning this debate... but it doesn't matter.

Warming up the Democratic post-debate spin eh

Excuse me but I'm looking for the official confirmation bias thread.

Am I in the right place?

 

[honky kong]

Favorite Mitt lines:

"The free market depends on regulation."

"We didn't cut Medicare (in Massachusetts), of course we don't have Medicare, we didn't cut Medicare by $716 billion."

 

[Rohn Jambo]

Bama sounds too robotic.

 

[phrozen]

DIABETIS reference

Wilford Brimley would be proud

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Obama: "the only way you can ever get healthcare (or jobs, or food, or shelter) is by trusting the govt to provide it"

 

[timschochet]

Mitt....you can't win on the Obamacare thing. You just can't.

Sure he can. He wins by saying he will repeal it.

 

[Ursa M]

Obama had this segment in the bag until he started droning on too long.

 

[shader]

Obama has started saying Obamacare?

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Excuse me but I'm looking for the official confirmation bias thread. Am I in the right place?

Not at all. I'm shocked by the extent to which Romney is owning this debate.

Obama had this segment in the bag until he started droning on too long.

LET ME BE CLEAR HERE

 

[Rohn Jambo]

Favorite Mitt lines:"The free market depends on regulation.""We didn't cut Medicare (in Massachusetts), of course we don't have Medicare, we didn't cut Medicare by $716 billion."

He just wanted to mention $716 billion twenty more times.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Obama is best when he runs out the clock! I guess when you are winning you just let Romney punch himself out.

 

[Dinkle Heimer]

This HC discussion part isn't going very good for Romney...debate is starting to flip a bit over the last 10 minutes.

 

[The Juggernaut]

Obama playing it safe. He's losing though. Does it matter? I'm guessing most have turned to Honey Boo Boo by now...

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Mitt....you can't win on the Obamacare thing. You just can't.

Sure he can. He wins by saying he will repeal it.

Exactly. I would just repeat that over and over again.

Obama has started saying Obamacare?

Yes. Several months ago.

 

[BoneYardDog]

Aggressive Romney blasts Obama for his 'trickle down government'

 

[The_Man]

Is this still the first question?

 

[pittstownkiller]

This debate is so far over the heads of most American's.

Yes, American's are so stupid; unless they share your opinion.

Favorite Mitt lines:"The free market depends on regulation.""We didn't cut Medicare (in Massachusetts), of course we don't have Medicare, we didn't cut Medicare by $716 billion."

those were hysterical lines. but it doesn't matter - it's like basketball...nobody ever remembers how many shots you miss, they only remember the ones you make. it used to be called "Chuck Person syndrome."

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Excuse me but I'm looking for the official confirmation bias thread. Am I in the right place?

Yes/No depending on what side you're on

most of those people are too stupid to realize that

 

[Thunderlips]

Obama's making a mistake by calling him Governor. Should be saying Mr. or Former Governor.

Footless Wilford or Quaker Oats Wilford?

There are some um's and uh's but mostly he stops five times in every sentence.

Obama is losing the thread too many times. It's like he has something else on his mind.

Wait...honey boo boo is on?

Wake me up when Barry stops talking about his horrible plan.

Romney losing bad on healthcare.

That's a good way of putting it.
