Obama can't even put coherent sentences together.

Voodoo economics

I think we are IN this mess of the last 4 years due mostly to greedy foks at the top of big corporations and Wall street, not from any political party or politician directly.

similar, but not exactly. Biden controlled that debate, but acted too much like an asshole while doing it. Romney has been strident, but not disrespectful in the way Biden was.

Which debate are you watching?

Romney looks like an asshole. Talking over everyone. Interrupting the President of the United States. Who is this penetrating empty suit?

Mitt Romney - Human Weather Vane

Did they include Brock in that statistic?

SBR Lou · 10-16-12, 08:39 PM

Anyone else falling asleep during Obama's answers. I'd prefer to hear the cheesy punchlines against Romney.

that shit about clinton is bull. he had nothing to do with the job growth. an entire new industry was formed during the late 90s. the country has been fukked since reagan was president. the new sector formed was a up swing and an other wise fukked system.

Clinton didn't put every person on food stamps and abortions run wild

please dude, it's a debate. Interruptions are inevitable. The moderator HAS to interrupt. It's only natural the speaker she interrupts isn't going to immediately capitulate. Watch any debate ever. Al Gore, Kerry, Obama. They've all done it. Interrupting a moderator isn't in and of itself disrespectful. Biden's treatment of Ryan was completely different. Romney has not treated Obama like that.

Chi_archie · 10-16-12, 08:40 PM

anyone know if Romney was ever a Governor? he needs to mention it if so

ttwarrior1 · 10-16-12, 08:40 PM

why can't romney respond to any of obamas lies, yet obama can?

ssmann · 10-16-12, 08:40 PM

How anyone could say Obama was more lucid on this question regarding females in the workforce is beyond me.

C-Gold · 10-16-12, 08:42 PM

Obama: Romney's plan doesn't add up.

Romney: and your 6 trillion in debt has ?????

This is another blood bath. Romney destroying Obama again.

GunShard · 10-16-12, 08:42 PM

If Romney wins all 3 debates and then Obama wins the elections.

It would mean that Obama was voted for being a likable person and not voted for his policies.

yeah, because he's not going to stand for bullshit. You really have a problem with Romney demanding a straight answer? It wasn't until he kept pressing Obama to answer his question before Obama got fed up enough to give him the truth. Which was a great answer on Obama's part. I'm glad Romney kept pushing. Obama pushed back with the word. That's what you want.

abortions running wild is a good thing. less population, less people looking for jobs. abortions should be given out free to poor folks. the expense of an abortion is much less than the cost of a child for next 18 years.

2TrivBicc · 10-16-12, 08:42 PM

Don't like either of them but the president has already been selected. Nothing more than puppets selling you a dream. Say who won the debate? The american shepple lost in the debate!

Bostongambler · 10-16-12, 08:43 PM

And into the healthcare for women

C-Gold · 10-16-12, 08:43 PM

Why are we talking about "women's in the workplace issues" anyway?

Obama added 6 trillion in debt and he will add another 4 trillion. Why isn't 80% of the debate about this?

Romney an -800 fav tonight.

Did I miss the line in SBR's book somehow as it doesn't seem to available any longer?

Do people really put so little value on their time that sit through several hours of this shit that is more scripted than WWF?

Leaked Debate Agreement Shows Both Obama and Romney are Sniveling Cowards

Time's Mark Halperin has made himself useful for once by obtaining, and publishing,a copy of the 21-page memorandum of understanding that the Obama and Romney campaigns negotiated with the Commission on Presidential Debates establishing the rules governing this month's presidential and vice presidential face-offs. The upshot: Both campaigns are terrified at anything even remotely spontaneous happening.
They aren't permitted to ask each other questions, propose pledges to each other, or walk outside a "predesignated area." And for the town-hall-style debate tomorrow night, the audience members posing questions aren't allowed to ask follow-ups (their mics will be cut off as soon as they get their questions out). Nor will moderator Candy Crowley.
Most bizarrely, given the way the debates have played out, the rules actually appear to forbid television coverage from showing reaction shots of the candidates: "To the best of the Commission's abilities, there will be no TV cut-aways to any candidate who is not responding to a question while another candidate is answering a question or to a candidate who is not giving a closing statement while another candidate is doing so." The "best of the Commission's abilities" must be rather feeble, seeing as how almost every moment of the two debates so far was televised in split-screen, clearly showing shots of a "candidate who is not responding to a question while another candidate is answering a question."
Which means some of the rules below that both campaigns stipulated to in a desperate attempt to wring any serendipity out of the events may be honored in the breach:

"The candidates may not ask each other direct questions during any of the four debates."
"The candidates shall not address each other with proposed pledges."
"At no time during the October 3 First Presidential debate shall either candidate move from his designated area behing the respective podium."
For the October 16 town-hall-style debate, "the moderator will not ask follow-up questions or comment on either the questions asked by the audience or the answers of the candidates during the debate...."
"The audience members shall not ask follow-up questions or otherwise participate in the extended discussion, and the audience member's microphone shall be turned off after he or she completes asking the questions."
"[T]he Commission shall take appropriate steps to cut-off the microphone of any...audience member who attempts to pose any question or statement different than that previously posed to the moderator for review."
"No candidate may reference or cite any specific individual sitting in a debate audience (other than family members) at any time during a debate."
For the town-hall debate: "Each candidate may move about in a pre-designated area, as proposed by the Commission and approved by each campaign, and may not leave that area while the debate is underway."
