Presidential Debate Thread - Obama vs. Romney (1 Viewer)

[TPW]

Barry is a complete weasel....arrogant.....condescending......complete embarrassment to the office

Calling president Obama "Barry" is pretty condescending.

He called himself Barry for years before he got into politics and found it beneficial to play the racial angle.Did you mind it when people called George Bush a "smirking chimp?"

Any of you rubes wanna bet $100 on Mitt? I'll take the prez. Hurry, window closing soon.

Dude. Shut UP.

Is that a yes?

If we were on stage I'd TOTALLY be invading your personal space right now.

Obama clearly won, but it wasnt as decisive as debate 1. Will be interesting to see what impact this has on Romney's recent momentum

Basically, not close to the 1st. Next week should be interesting, hopefully back to the initial format?

What? The town hall format is money.President Obama brought the goods tonight, but Governor Romney certainly wasn't a push over. Some of the best moments of tonight's debate occurred when both candidates were standing and neither seemed willing to sit down or let the other get in the last word. Overall, the town hall debate format is the best and tonight was no different.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I think a key deficiency for Romney going down the stretch will be the lack of specifics on the deduction and loophole issue. Romney is running with an n dollar deduction cap, but uses different numbers each time. Giving everyone a pony is going to cost real dollars. It's trickle down logic, and deserves to be discussed as such. There is no guarantee of magic growth in this structure.

 

[RBM]

Libs are going to love the "acts of terror" crap, but all it takes is half a brain to realize what Mitt meant and how badly Obama ####ed that whole thing up.

Government does not create jobs.A+You Obama supporters need to understand the above because it's true and Obama doesn't understand it.

Hey bro, I know its hard to understand, but big business doesn't have your, or anyone but their own interest in mind - ever.

And big govt does?

Yes, Obamacare is one of it not the most important bill ever passed for most Americans. Financial aid and Student loans, also important. Federal funding for education, possibly the most important thing our government does for the future of our nation.

You are in reeeeeeeally latched onto the ### aren't ya?

As a student on financial aid who lost his medicaid when Bush went into office and has never had insurance and has worked since I was 15 (now 24) - yes.

Ok then. At least you are honest about it.

And there you have it...that's who is taking over the USA...the me, me, me generation. Government, take care of ME; you owe ME. Those damn rich people must take care of ME.

You're an idiot. Only a moron would suggest that investing in affordable healthcare or education is selfish. Keep your altruistic bull#### to yourself.

Hey bro, I know its hard to understand, but big business doesn't have your, or anyone but their own interest in mind - ever.

And big govt does?It's absolutely true big business is interested in profits. But that engine also drives growth, which includes jobs.

Profits do not drive growth. Demand does.

What is with this new talking point I keep seeing? It takes both. You can't increase demand without job and salary growth, you can't increase job and salary growth without demand.Clearly demand isn't just going to just materialize. We already tried injecting stimulus into the economy and that did little. Businesses are going to have to hire.

Never trust a man to lead your country's fiscal policy if he admits he doesn't even look at his own pension statement...

Barry is a complete weasel....arrogant.....condescending......complete embarrassment to the office

Calling president Obama "Barry" is pretty condescending.

He called himself Barry for years before he got into politics and found it beneficial to play the racial angle.Did you mind it when people called George Bush a "smirking chimp?"

Yes it is way more beneficial for someone to be named "Barack" instead of "Barry".

I'm guessing fox news won't be showing that clip, that was not a good moment for Mitt.

hang on here, you guys were perfectly fine with "hope and change" and no specifics in 2008, but now you're going to expect the other guy to provide you details? Forget it, you clearly shouted out that you didn't care about details when you cast that vote.You'll have to take it on faith, just like you did in 2008 and over the last four years.

[Maelstrom]

This was the Rose Garden speech...

Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts.

I've been ignoring your posts all night, but this one is spot on. We should reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Not seeing the connection to whether he called it an act of terror or why that is a problematic statement. Any discussion or comment?

The discussion on taxes in 2008 was about Bush tax cuts and whether to keep them or let them expire. Obama has extended them largely due to the political-fueled perception that we can't raise a marginal rate a scant few percent. He wants to end them now.Mitt is asking Americans to buy into a 20% across the board cut in tax rates for everyone. This will cost approximately $4.8 trillion over ten years. A plan this audacious requires a discussion of math. Sorry.

 

[bostonfred]

Before the first debate, we had conservatives talking about why romney shouldnt be losing in the thread called does anyone think romney can win this thing. After the first debate we had a thread pop up saying does anyone think obama can win this thing. Now the hardcore conservatives want otis to give them odds. Seems like pretty sound evidence that obama won convincingly.

Ok?All I'm saying is that govt is not supplying you. The people are the govt. We supply the govt. One of the main reasons the left promotes bigger govt is that it causes more reliance on the federal govt and obligates those to continue to vote for them.

Many of them don't, which is why the discussion on the marginal rate is a bunch of horse poo. GE paid zero taxes.

WAIT. Wait wait wait. Honest question: do you really believe Mitt won this debate?Those of us who think Mitt is a schmuck could still fairly admit that he won the first debate. I can't imagine anyone in their right mind could claim that Obama didn't win this.
