UPDATED 11:30 p.m. ET -- President Barack Obama repeatedly ridiculed GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s foreign policy views as dated and haphazard in his third and final debate with his Republican challenger, who in turn accused the president of diminishing American leadership during his first term.
Vote in our poll: Did the last debate influence your 2012 decision?
Obama took advantage of incumbency to remind voters throughout the 90-minute debate of his experience as commander-in-chief, and Romney’s lack thereof. The former Massachusetts governor, meanwhile, sought to project a deep familiarity with vexing global issues.

In the final push in the 2012 presidential election, candidates Mitt Romney and Barack Obama make their last appeals to voters.
The debate, held just 15 days before the election in the battleground state of Florida, veered at times from its stated emphasis on foreign policy and into issues of the economy and the budget – topics on which Romney holds an advantage over the president in most polls.

President Barack Obama (R) listens as Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney (L) speaks during the final U.S. presidential debate in Boca Raton, Florida October 22, 2012.
But Obama sought to do to Romney with foreign policy – disqualify him in the eyes of voters – what his re-election campaign had tried to do on Romney’s economic proposals. The president openly mocked Romney’s suggestion, for instance, that Russia is the top geopolitical foe of the United States.
"You seem to want to import the foreign policy of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s," he said.
Andrea Mitchell and NBC's Truth Squad examine claims made by each candidate at the third and final debate of the 2012 presidential election in Boca, Raton, Fla.
Obama also derided Romney’s vow to grow the size of the Navy as indicative of the GOP nominee’s dated views toward national security.
"Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military's changed," Obama said. "We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines. And so the question is not a game of Battleship."
The president says credibility is what’s important in dealing with world affairs.
Romney used his time at the debate to more broadly accuse Obama of presiding over a period of diminishing American leadership abroad.
“In nowhere in the world is America's influence greater than it was four years ago,” he said.
The former Massachusetts governor also voiced directly to the president an accusation – that Obama had apologized for American values – he has made throughout the campaign.
The president says a strong economy at home will strengthen the U.S. overseas during the third and final presidential debate of 2012.
“You said that on occasion America had dictated to other nations,” Romney said. “Mr. President, America has not dictated to other nations. We have freed other nations from dictators.”
That attack prompted Obama to respond with a blistering characterization of Romney’s own trip to the United Kingdom, Israel and Poland this past summer.
“When I was a candidate for office, the first trip I took was to visit our troops. And when I went to Israel as a candidate, I didn't take donors. I didn't attend fundraisers,” Obama said in reference to a fundraiser Romney held while in Jerusalem this summer. “I went to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum there, to remind myself the nature of evil and why our bond with Israel will be unbreakable.”
Obama’s tough rhetoric, though, betrayed his campaign’s outward confidence amid a series of national and battleground state polls suggesting the election had tightened to a dead heat over the past month, since Romney’s strong performance in their first debate on Oct. 3. Republicans argued that the president’s posture was that of a candidate who has fallen behind Romney over the past few weeks.
Romney used a number of opportunities to steer the debate back toward domestic issues, on which the former Massachusetts governor has mostly staked his campaign. Romney got an opportunity to recount his five-point economic plan, and his direct-to-camera closing statement emphasized the economy as much as foreign policy.
The Republican nominee also largely declined to make as sharp of a case about Obama’s handling of the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, which resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Romney has used the administration’s response to that incident to make up ground versus Obama, but scarcely dwelled on Libya – the opening topic of Monday evening’s debate.
The Republican presidential nominee says America must take a leading role in promoting U.S. values during the third presidential debate of 2012.
Romney also tried to dissociate himself with Republican hawkishness, refusing to engage a hypothetical question about Iran’s nuclear program, ruling out a military strike against Libya and stating the U.S. “can't kill our way out of this mess” as it relates to al Qaeda.
The debate’s tangents offered Obama other opportunities to go after Romney. The upcoming “sequester” – the automatic spending cuts, particularly to the defense budget, set to take effect at the beginning next year – prompted the two candidates to renew their squabbling over Romney’s tax plan.
And Obama – whose decision to extend federal aid to Detroit’s troubled automakers in 2009 has become a pillar of his pitch to voters in Midwestern battleground states – eagerly pounced on a tangent involving the auto industry to criticize Romney.
The Republican nominee also largely shrugged off Obama’s attacks as obfuscatory.
"Attacking me is not an agenda," Romney said early at the debate, at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla.
Whether Monday’s debate would provoke a thinning sliver of undecided voters to make a decision was another question, to which the answer wasn’t immediately clear following the debate.
Both Obama and Romney had arranged major rallies with their running mates on Tuesday so as to project momentum in the closing two weeks of the campaign. Both campaigns left Boca Raton with a self-professed sense of confidence, validation or dismissal of which will come on Nov. 6.

thank god it is the last debate!
FOR REAL!!!!
Do you think Obama will prepare for this debate the way he did for the first debate? You know, the strategy of "Drink a six-pack to relax."
Romney/Ryan
Let's hear how the Republicans want to take us to ANOTHER BLOODY WAR!!!
Vote Democrat! Don't allow the party that took the country to disaster by putting 2 wars ON CREDIT CARD, TO PUT ANOTHER ONE IN YOUR BACKS
They want to pay for weapons with your Medicare and Social Security!!!!
NO MORE WARS
NO MORE WARS
justdumbfux, how many times are you going to post that tripe? Oh, never mind. Troll, I get it. Carry on. :)
We need to treat the hundreds of vets that are coming home with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, before we send more innocent victims there.
TELL MITT ROMNEY TO SEND HIS 5 SONS to war. THEY ARE BULLIES JUST LIKE HIM.
tHEY ARE ONLY " WATCHING" FROM THE SIDE.
COWARDS!!!!
R O M N E Y ~ C U L T u r e
Will Governor Mitt Romney Etch a Sketch his own faith, and disown his 4 deferments, in order to appear like a Commander-in-Chief?
"I bet you $10,000" Mitt Romney
Hey Just No facts. They did not know for sure whether that was really bin laden. It was Obamas decision to go in with a Seal team, other advisors wanted to use drone strikes and it wouldnt have been certain if we had really got him. Bush said he wasnt concerned about binladen and Mittens said it wasnt worth it. WEAK! WEAK! WEAK! Under Obama most of the leadership of alqaeda has been taken out. And just who got a memo saying saying AlQaeda determined to stike inside US. Richard clarke told worst Weezie Rice that #1 concern would be Alqaeda. WEAK,WEAK,WEAK!
Hey NO-Facts it was the Republithugs who cut funding for State dept security! What congressman just said you have to set your priorities when asked about the funding,hmmm? Quit watching your Faux Noise propaganda and get some perspective before that tripe they spew gives you a brain tumor
Romney's foreign policy experience is eating at the International House of Pancakes.
And all he did there was his specialty...
Waffles!
Johnny.... Under oath, State Dept. officials stated, funding for the State Dept. had no, repeat NO bearing in the decision to not provide Amb. Stevens additional security. Keep spinning.......
Suggest you bone up up a bit if you want to challenge sworn congressional testimony. Check it.... FACT....
Just Think right after the attacks on the US Embassy in Tanzania, and the Sudan, in 1998. Under William Jefferson Clinton! Where hundreds died. the Sudanese Govt,. took ULB, Usama Bin Laden, into custody. they the Sudanese, asked Clinton, if he, wanted ULB. Clinton said NO, as a result of that decision, THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS HAVE DIED! Including three American citizens by US drone strike, in Yemen, Obama killed them, without a trial! So much for Waterboarding, under Bush!
Here we go. May the lies tie their tongues.
The president will continue to lie about Libya because he can. The MSM doesn't challenge him on it, even helps him to fabricate them. Worse is that the libs eat it up hook, line and sinker.
kEEP FOCUSING ON THE ANT HILL, WHEN YOU ARE MISSING THE MOUNTAIN. Remember Iraq? HOW SOON YOU REPUBLICANS FORGET!!!!!
thank god i voted early, i don't have to concern myself with this anymore.
Romney still can't answer a question.
Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!!!
Romney laying it out!
Nice job Mitt!!!
Romney is saying that he would go "against the bad guys"
What the F? Does he thinks that he is Superman?
He is offering more education and create "civil"societies"and fix the whole world, EXCEPT US!!!!!
What a MORON
Wow! DEBATE just ENDED and it was PAINFUL to watch MITT ROMNEY make a TOTAL FOOL of himself.
It was EMBARRASSING to see how INEPT Mitt Romney was and is!
and how MASTERFUL President OBAMA is!
President OBAMA, you were BEAUTIFUL, you TOASTED Mitt ROMNEY,
and STUCK a FORK in him, you made sure MITT ROMNEY is well DONE.
POOR Mitt ROMNEY,
All his MAJOR CHARACTER FLAWS were EXPOSED tonit.
All his Hideous and Horrific SHORTCOMINGS were EXPOSED,
his LYING, his CHEATING, etc. etc.
Obama is trying to restore foriegn relationships that Bush ruined because he needs all of the countries to stand together against the companies that will not contribute to thier countries. Romney wants to ruin the relationships so that companies can stand on thier own and not contribute to their countries. Romney benefits from war, Obama doesn't. Notice how the infrastracture isn't being taken care of? Government can't do it alone. This is what it's all about, period.
Obama has gotten in a few good zingers. Too bad being a president isn't about zingers. Be nice if he talked about what he would do if he were president. Wait, he is.
Heh, yes, the debate is "over". Romney touts tying our "increased aid" to middle eastern countries to their committment to "gender equality and rule of law" - laughable coming from him considering his view of gender equality (and his concept of rule of law too).
Obama is right, meet opportunities and challenges with an eye to building friendships there into future without making a huge footprint or staying in countries for decades longer.
Obama, busy attacking Romney, rather than telling his vision. Typical, same guy.
Booyah! Tell him Mitt!
RepublicanforObama:
Uh, the debate just started, buddy. It is far from over!
What an oxymororn listening to Romney talk about "Humanitarian disasters" WE WILL HAVE AN HUMANITARIAN DISASTER HERE IF HE GETS ELECTED!!!!
These idiosts want to cut our Social Security, they do not want to pay for universal health care, BUT THEY WANT TO SEND WARRIORS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
MITT ROMNEY IS A LUNATIC!!!!!
TILT.
"GAME OVER".
What a CLOWN Mitt ROMNEY is!
His SNAKE-OIL, CON-GAMES, and AMWAY-type Sick-Slick SALES Pitch
just didn't "Cut the Mustard" tonite.
Thank GOD, that Mr. OBAMA will be our PRESIDENT........ and the RULER, MASTER, and OVERLORD of all you evil Republicans and you crazy WACKO Teabaggers!
Now REMEMBER all you OHIO and FLORIDA RETIRES, don't Forget to
VOTE a Straight DEMOCRATIC ticket, so this DANGEROUS CLOWN
Mitt ROMNEY doesn'tget his Hand on the NUCLEAR TRIGGER
and START a THERMAL-NUCLEAR WAR with RUSSIA
all with the Blessing of that "little-turd" KARL ROVE
and DICK (Darth Vader) CHENEY.
Just say NO to ROMNEY
RepublicansforObama:
Come on, get a grip. You are posting before the debate has even warmed up. You are a complete and utter fraud.
Romney/Ryan for our nation and children!
Romney is trying to pull a etch-A-sketch on foreign policy...
He want's to be a peace President now.
LOL
Romney seems to be trying to say that he'd be "better" without saying how. He echoes the President more closely than he does his own VP pick! Supposedly there was "no daylight" between Romney and Ryan. Really?
More defense spending, no taxes on the wealthy or regulation of banks and corporations, and no abortions? I don't like what Republicans have been doing and saying, and I don't want a these Republican candidates put together with a Republican House of Representatives and appointing an even more conservative Supreme Court. This debate is interesting enough, but not informative to my vote - I voted for Obama/Joe today!
See, this is why you guys are lemmings. You believe this stuff. Can't you think for yourself? Does your wife have to pick out your socks each day?
Sheesh. I know most people have to be worker bees but it's so sad that they don't even realize it and try to rise above it.
I like how Obama has this new stare on Myth.
I tell ya, Romney is saying peace peace peace.
You know what that means?
"SAY ANYTHING"
and Obama just got denied a chance to rebut.
Not cool.
Wow!
Mitt ROMNEY is FLOUNDERING in the DEEP END of the POOL.
ROMNEY is so OUT of his LEAGUE, that he's "FOAMING from the MOUTH"
SPEWING PSYCHO-BABBLE, always AGREEING with PRESIDENT OBAMA
when he does NOT UNDERSTAND the Foreign Policy QUESTION.
GOD what a JOKE Mitt ROMNEY is.
Here's the KEY EVERYBODY.
Mitt ROMNEY is LOSING the SALE
He KNOWS it.
You KNOW it
and Now your "REPUBLICAN MOMMA" knows it.
ROMNEY still thinks he's SELLING a USED CAR,
and he's watching the ELECTORATE walk OFF the CAR LOT.
and he's practically BEGGING on his KNEES for all you VOTERS
to COME BACK to his USED CAR LOT and BUY his CRAP.
Let's FINALLY send MITT ROMNEY and KARL ROVE Back to the Dung Heap of History.
hokey-dokey?
The cult leader Rombot looks weak tonight.
Absolutely beautiful wording Mitt!
Romney sounds like the football coach being asked how they will win the game. we are goin to play hard, try to score,yaydayadayada. he just spoke for 2 minutes and said nothing but feel good phrases.lol
Romney is all over the place.
Even Obama doesn't believe what he's saying.
RepublicansforObama:
Your posts don't even connect to the debate.
Coral:
Obama still has no plans. Calling Mitt a coach is a wonderful title. Our nation needs that at this juncture in our game. We are down by 16 trillion, with O time on the clock. The best coach ALWAYS knows how to win!
Anyone notice the increase advertisement for Mormon recently? I watch some rerun of old TV episodes and 2/3 of it from Mormon...
I think the cult leader just soiled his magic underwear.
Reform education my ass!
We can't risk big business or medium business, says Romney
"Medium Business"For Romney is the Koch Brothers business and Adelson
They want MORE MONEY
PFFT!
OBAMA/ Biden for better America: Education, Health
Shhhh...
I want to hear Romney's lies now.
He's talking about small business.
Remember small businesses are people like Trump per Obama. True.
The middle class make avg 250,000 a year per Romney. False.
Here comes Jacob Marley Mitt, International Man of Business Mystery...yet China's currency has been forced up more by Obama than by the previous two admin's combined.
Now Mitt will echo the President's call for more teachers and the job creating programs (that this administration has championed very successfully, despite the hype over Solyndra).
Nailed it. Now the question to Mitt was where does he find the money to pay for all his new destroyers etc. etc. (we use a "whole series of programs"). Sorry Mitt, tic-tacs don't cover the smell of what's on your breath.
Key word:
Bipartisan!
WTF is Obama blathering on about? He's talked about three of 17 different things about education, the work force and the friggin' kitchen sink.
Our educational system is horrid. Our work force has been decimated and Obama doesn't understand why.
Romney is empty.
'Trust me I know.' Well Mr Romney how will you do it. " I know how to do it." Will you answer the question? " I know how to do it. There I answered your question."
REPUBLICANS are now "FLOCKING" towards my AWARD-WINNING Posts,
because I WAKE them up, and they then REALIZE that Mitt ROMNEY is a CLOWN.
First the TRUTH p*sses the REPUBLICANS off, but then they THANK me for showing them the DARK-NATURE of their Evil HEARTS.
and NOBODY, and I mean Nobody, is BUYING INTO that STUPID "SH*T EATING GRIN Romney always tries to PAINT on his FACE when he PRETENDS to LISTEN to the Kind and Good and Merciful PRESIDENT OBAMA.
And REMEMBER Everybody, KARL ROVE and DICK CHENEY and GROVER NORQUIST and RUSH LIMBAUGH are really PULLING the STRINGS of MITT ROMNEY.
Make NO MISTAKE abou it.
Does anybody want to go BACK to the DARK-DANK DAYS
RepublicansForObama:
Joker
Give up the 5 trillion. Let it go. It's been debunked.
Yes we need a strong military. That's actually the only thing the fed really needs to do. Everything else should be handled by the states. But yes, we need a strong military because the rest of the world looks to us to fight their fights.
@independent;
Obama is all about plans and has had a 2013 budget for awhile. My point on the coach thing is that he is stating the obvious on how they will do good.
We spend more than most of the countries combined on defense. There is room for cuts. We are light years ahead of every country.
Get him Obama!!
Yes you mess with Israel you mess with us!! Obam sold them our newer deeper penetrating bunker busters. We also have successfully tested cloaking technology with Israel in Israel. Iran will not see us coming.lol
Romney's face keeps morphing.
And NO the $5 TRILLION has NOT been debunked.
Romney won't say how he will pay.
When he states how, then we can debunk it.
It is mid way through the debate and they are both avoiding the main topic: foreign policy.
Oh! You sunk my battleship! (The USS Willard just went blub blub blub)
next...There is no question as to what would be the reaction here if Israel were attacked. Our policy is unchanged but our rhetoric is toned down. Mitt should not pretend he has a "stronger link" to Israeli future well being or a "better solution" to ending the stand-off with Iran etc.
No, you never made that clear. NEVER.
You gotta give Obama credit, he is a master politician. He can spin anything. It's sadly impressive if he hadn't messed up our country so much.
Obama doesn't have to spin anything.
All he has to do is "make sense" and he's a natural at it.
Romney spends too much time back tracking his lies and has not originality.
obama's nose should be growing as he speaks because of the number of lies he spitting out of his mouth.
Oh YEAH! CUT THE OIL shipments with Iran Mr. Romney!!! That will get us to pay $10.00 a gallon.
And he says that he has been "in business" all his life..
REALLY? Because Ann drives 2 CAdillacs, and she has NO idea how much gas cost! She has a driver!!!!
They don't give a rat's ass if we cut the oil ships to them. THEY WILL SELL IT TO CHINA!!!!
@independent;
The only problem with your statement is that this is no game mam. This is the real world.
Yes I found no evidence of apologizing by Obama.
Ha he was related to an Iranian company! zing! didnt see that comin.lol
Obama a long time ago has stated the "unbreakable bond with Israel" many times.
Ha Romney says lets not get hypothetical, aint that rich!lol
Romney does not understand that you can't prosecute someone for genocide without genocide having been committed. Talking about wishing that a people would disappear is not in itself a crime. This idiot has a law degree!
Romney LIED again...

Obama is just smoke and mirrors, cutting down Romney. Where is your plan Obama?
Obama always stammers when he is hitting a talking point.
Chad:
Silly, the debate is still going on!
Current Vice President?
Hmmmm.
Romney says our influence is receding overseas. He claims we have tensions with Israel. We don't, except Netanyahu is more nervous than we are. Romney over-reaches the truth and makes claims with the benefit hindsight. President Obama tells people (and Mitt) what things are like and how things currently work in the world, it isn't perfect...but Mitt isn't going to improve it.
2annoy,
Representative of the racist Republican right wing.
Would have been much better for Romney and the republicans had Romney slithered off somewhere, hid out, and not shown up for this debate. Me too! Me too! Pitiful!
@independent;
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget
Here read this later, then you can stop asking for his plan.lol
Romney wants to increase military spending by cutting off other programs which he can't name. The math doesn't work if you want to cut deficit and military spending is one of the highest budget currently.
How can we cut deficits if we keep increase spending?
I WORK in SALES and what a CON-ARTIST the COWARDLY Mitt ROMNEY is.
Talk about being a slick-sick "SNAKE-OIL" salesman
Listen, I'm a REPUBLICAN and I'm VOTING for the Honorable BARACK OBAMA.
Just a SUGGESTION,
let's have all you POLICEMEN, FIREMEN, TEACHERS, all you from the LATINO and GAY COMMUNITY, all you OHIO and FLORIDA RETIREES, all you INDEPENDENT WOMEN, all you PEOPLE of COLOR, and all you UNDECIDED VOTERS, and especially all you FREEDOM LOVING AMERICANS, and VOTE a straight DEMOCRATIC ticket come the ELECTION.
Please, can't we ONCE and for ALL, send MITT ROMNEY, KARL ROVE, DICK CHENEY, KARL NORQUIST and the REST of the Old "BUSH REGIME" finally
"BACK to the POLITICAL DUNG HEAP of HISTORY".
It will be FUN and it's the RIGHT THING to do.
I truly believe that MITT has SOILED his "MAGIC UNDERWEAR" tonite.
MITT looked mighty UNCOMFORTABLE tonite, probably because of all that DOO-DOO and POOP-POOP in his MORMON "MAGIC UNDERWEAR.
ps. Is this a Great post, or what?
Funny, Obama is making all the Republican talking points.
Stammer, stammer as I tell my story.
All pathetic, psychotic, braindead right wing radical cracked teanut dopes should listen to your leaders. They warned you about the Mexican Mormon Moron tax evading draft dodger during the primaries when they were able to tell he truth about this moron.
UNLESS YOU ARE DEAF, HE IS TALKING ABOUT HELPING THE vets, HELPING people AND how american are tired of war and stupid spending on war
Enough of cowboy bullies that act like Yosemite Sam!!!!!
Now they come with magic underwear
Romney clearly shows his intellectual depth. Obama seems like an apprentice.
Independent. Sorry that was for the halfway point. I will post the final when done.
Romney's fake smile is NOT working this time.
Ranting Redhead, you need to look up "Liberalism"
Us progressives have a choice to adapt, make changes and work with others by definition.
"Conservatism" means NO CHANGE period.
So don't expect change from Romney, he'll do the same as BUSH.
Obama will keep us moving FORWARD.
RepbulicanforObama-
You are no Republican. Give it up. No Republican would ever refer to a president as ruler, master or overlord. Obama is just another citizen, nothing more or less. He's really not a celebrity.
BO I don't want to go where your Forward goes. We were once a fine, strong, respectful country. Now we cater to the lowest common denominator. We have no honor left. I want honor again. I want jobs, I want to be proud to be an American again.
Mitt, Mitt, Mitt, has now become another Mitt! WHO IS THIS GUY TONIGHT?
Everything he was for, for, for, he is now...FOUR, the same thing the president is for!
Mitt the LIAR< LIAR< LIAR< LIAR TONIGHT!
@independent;
Actually Obama is more privy to what is really going on. The sitting president always has this advantage. So Romney would be the apprentice.
Al qeada are on their heels, they are even changing their name. People are converting from Islam to Christianity by the hundreds daily,, Romney is kidding himself. Even the Imams admit this.
Apparently you Republicans think Obama is some kind of dictator or something.
You keep blaming him for NOT creating jobs that the GOP voted NO on.
Obama doesn't pass legislation, he just signs them.
The do nothing GOP has failed to pass any jobs bills with their record filibusters.
Cheap domestic tires.
BAM! Currently enjoying the debate. TRULY ...republicans are phony. NOTHING proves otherwise. Seeing the last 4 years culminate to this last debate shows it without ANY doubt. Known it from day ONE! Republicans will continue to win battles, but not this one. The republican leadership (and so many ignorant followers), would not know honor if it were staring them straight in the face. How truly sad that americans can be self polarized to this level of ignorance of what freedom and democracy really means. "F" republicans do not DESERVE to win ANYTHING. MoFos are on my @!$%# list. EVERYONE of em! NO ONE has stained american politics more in our history. NO ONE!
Obama* is trying to take credit for things that were in place before he got into office. Like the Mission to get Osama Bin laden and Sanctions Against Iran, and the tests of the progress of students in schools in america.
Obama is such a BSer. He did an apology tour that was an insult to every american and to our allies.
Obama thinks that alqieda is weaker just because they are waiting for us to leave and then they will try to re-establish themselves like they are doing in iraq now.
Obama* lies. "it is not a tax", no it's not. It is a penalty if you don't buy what the government tell you to buy.
Those are chinese tires with american patent numbers and trademarks on them. Get your apple Ipod but get a real one from a us company not imported from china. you people are so quick to be first and you do not care who you do business with. Lead toys anyone?
MITT AIDS THE ENEMY....IRAN, keeping business as usual with IRAN while the United States and the world set sanctions on not doing business. ROMNEY THE IRAN SYMPATHISER GIVES AID TO THE ENEMY!!!!!!
"Romney argued that Obama had squandered opportunities to liberalize the Muslim world " what? lol Romney wants to "LIBERALIZE" omfg.
Romney said "I congratulate him on taking out Osama bin Laden and going after the leadership in al-Qaida," Romney said. "But we can't kill our way out of this mess." What? isn't that what Bush tried to do? kill our way out of a mess?
Mitt Romney has officially become the class idiot. LOL O dam near fell off my chair laughing. Yet look at the posts of these tea bagging republican , america hating, neocons. you guys are more screwed up then Mormon man. wtf has happened to America? did they put stupid pills in the coffee????
Coral:
My comment stands, as to depth of ideas and vocabulary. One is the apprentice. Obama
Here's "Day One Mitt" again...he's going to be a very busy fellow on "Day One" if he get elected and tries to do the things he says he'll do on "Day One".
Mitt did more than "watch for years" as American jobs were being shipped overseas - HE was shipping them there. I think the President wants to continue to increase trade with China and maintain mutually respectful, peaceful, relations into the future. But I think the President has an eye to pushing manufacturing in this country that Mitt misrepresented. Obama was much more friendly to American business than Mitt suggested at the time.
How can Romney say the biggest threat to America will be a nuclear Iran, when the both have stated that Iran will never have Nuclear weapons, and they will use all means necessary to sure they never get them.
Ouch, Romney left Obama hanging. He was expecting him to bite but he didn't. Stumble, stumble.
Romney and the Republicans just want to keep defense contracts going.
Tax dollars is big business to them.
Listen to Mitt Romney shifting back and forth about China. His company shiped many jobs to China.
Bain Capital has shiped more jobs to china than anybody else!!! And now he wants to make them pay!
Sorry bully!!! You can't have it both ways! You are badmouthing them, while at the same time you are pocketing the profits from their job!!!
Look at your magic underwear: MADE IN CHINA!!! ha ha
oF COURSE! hE WON'T LIQUIDATE THE COMPANY: he will!! Why can't he shut the F*** UP??????
Boring, can't wait until the political season is over. Obama is obsessed with Romney's investments which by law have to be in a blind trust so how does Obama know so much about them. I want to hear about Obama's investments. Too much smoke and not enough real answers.
How come Obama only has balls when he's in a debate? Why can't he find them when he's governing?
Apparently Obama never actually learned that assertions have no place in a debate. But I guess since little Barry has no foreign policy record except that of being in sympathy with Islamic terrorist organizations, he is forced to try to make his points by assertion. His main problem: NO ONE BELIEVES ANYTHING OBAMA SAYS ANY LONGER. He has lied so much about everything that his assertions fall on deaf ears.
MITT is going to be tough on China...he is going to outsource American jobs too fast for them to handle!!!
Mitt bought a barbwire company to sell more barbwire to China so they can keep the sweatshop children from escaping from forced work...making it tough on children in china ....wow...
Iamnotyou,
Well thank God for that because I would not want to be that stupid. So glad that that I am not you.
This is another 2 against 1 debate. What a Farce..!!!
there are more chinese students here and in american schools than ever before. sorry that your kid was displaced. Thanks Obama* for the foodstamps...
@ independent;
Yes you are correct the vocabulary get so deep with Romney, I have to put my boots on.
Romney says "lets make America more competitive" wow what an epiphany.lol How Romney?
Romney's now lying about the auto industry.
Your TV screens are going to break whe Romney's nose hits the glass.
Watch out.
Obama, the US should not be Venture Capitalists.
Romney whines about the economy.....point your scrawny finger at your repubs and Ryan who pledged to vote against America to make president Obama appear to fail...when repubs caused it all along.
If Obama* gets re-elected you will need chest waders....
ED...if you were that stupid, you would be smarter than you are now.
if you do not have anything, just call people names and insult them.
FINAL CNN POLL
iamnotu
2 against 1. you and Willard against the President.
BS
Sacrificing the truth and what works, to say whatever is politically convenient at the moment. Hmmmmmm
Chad - It's a CNN poll what do you expect?
Romney talks about the food stamp rise , but never mentions that all but 4 states had been granted waivers from the work to welfare law before Obama came into office. This is why the foodstamp increase happened, the number also includes young adults struggling that are eligible for three months.
The deficit was already at 1.3 trillion annually when Obama took office, with a predicted 8 trillion $ increase over the next 8 yrs.The deficit has been rising at a breakneck speed since 1982. ie It was here before them it will be here after them, you can only tame it, I do not see any one stopping an increase.

How can any American honestly hear this debate and think Romney is the answer?It is mind blowing. If Obama didn't lay it out enough for even the most biased repub to digest then I'm sorry but, you have no ears.
I gotta say, this is the best part of the debates - when the families all come one stage, mingle and talk. We might be a divided nation politically but we can still all hang out and chat with one another.
bye bye obama.. hope you enjoyed your first and last term trying to destroy America!
Romney/Ryan 2012
The GOP's #1 foreign enemy is Obama.
Romney is in every other nation's side as long as Obama's President.
I just wanted to reach thru the tv set and slap the shyt out of Romney's lying face over and over. Robme Romney and Lyan Ryan are both an American disgrace.
OBAMA 2012
Robbed-Me is the head coward! Running away to France when he dropped out of school in order to avoid the draft. Like father like son. Let the poor die fighting for freedom. Robbed-Me only wants freedom to make billions by out-sourcing American jobs and off-shoring the profits to avoid paying his fair share!
2annnoy.....glad you are annoyed.....your woman lost tonight!
THE RICH NEED TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE! THEY DON"T and Romney wants them, including himself to pay nothing!
We just watched another ETCH-A-SKETCH debate by the always changing Romney
What the hell was that?
He was declaring war to Iran just one month ago.
THE MAN IS AN ETCH-A-SKETCH BIG TIME!!!!!!
There are 170+ people in Wisconsin about to lose their jobs and have already been forced to train the Chinese to take over production of the part that will now be made in China. This is thanks to the next President, President Romney. Not if my vote changes it! Shame on you that vote for Romney! Shame on you for not having faith in Americans.
Those are CHAD's polls. Pulled from thin air.
Romney is clearly full of ___— . His foreign policy advisors are mostly ex-Bush neocon warhawks.
The reason he is asking the rich to pay more is because they are making record profits. Aren't we all supposed to tighten the belt and feel the pinch a little to get this country back on it's feet? Why do you side with filthy rich people? They won't even notice what's being asked of them to spare. You are leaning against your own interests!
Liar, Liar-obama's tongue needs to be tied. That man does nothing but lie. I pitty the poor fools that believe him and suport him-for you know not what you do-he is making of fools of you-using you for his personal agenda. Are the poor and middle class better off today-no they are worse off and it keeps getting worse. Romney is the only one who has a brain and is intelligent enough to start to fix the damage the incompetent and ignorant one has done to this country.
Romney/Ryan 2012
Myth Romney, who is now the "Leader of the non-working, do nothing, filibustering GOP controlled congress with an all time low approval of 7%."
With a record 500+ filibusters, PLEDGES to NEVER generate more cash for the government, ZERO compromises, voter suppression and intimidation, voting NO on every Job bill, creating war on women, and with NO record of any accomplishments or anything done for the country in 40 years.
The undecided voters keep ignoring or are not aware that the REAL culprits behind the slow recovery on the economy and jobs are the "obstructionist" Republicans controlling congress with cloture and filibusters to stop job legislation and halt Obama's agenda to fix the economy.
Only a "super majority" can stop the Republican obstruction of the past 3.5 years.
Obama doesn't have a supermajority, Obama only has the senate by ONE and the GOP owns the house and CONTROLS all legislation.
We have a communication problem if these undecided voters are not aware that the GOP has done NOTHING but get in the way of passing bills to promote job and economy growth.
Remember that the President doesn't pass the bills, he just signs them.
Obama has a 51% approval and has been waiting for job bills on his desk to sign but the GOP losers just won't pass any.
Stop "blaming" Obama. Put blame where blame is really deserved, on the 7% GOP owned congress.
I was stunned to hear Lanny Davis call the debate a draw. He also had ire for both veering off the foreign policy into domestic issues. Hearing disappointment over Libya not being hit again.
The questions to be answered are did Obama look angry instead of forceful, he certainly was agressive.
Romney looked to some to be to agreeble with Obama's postitions.
THIS JUST IN:
Romney votes for President Obama because he believes everything that President Obama is doing is already working, and is the correct path for America. Thanks Mitt! We're glad the real Mitt, the one that wants to copy Obama, but claim credit for himself showed up tonight.
Obama/Biden 2102!!!
VOTE A STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET AND VOTE ALL GOP CANDIDATES OUT OF OFFICE!!!
Well,,,,,
,,,,,it just ended.
.
How very appropriate that the last debate BETWEEN THESE 2 LIARS,,,,,
,,,,,took place in "Boca Raton",,,,, which literally translates to,,,,
"MOUTH OF THE RAT" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
They BOTH suck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
This turned more into an economic debate than foreign affairs.lol
Funny how Romney toned down the war drums. I made the point all week at this wrong tactic of his. That cat is out of the bag already Romney. The kinder gentler Romney is not working on me. A little bit like waffling.or backpedaling.
Romney lied....flip flopped, etch a sketched...and repubs call it...flexability......aaaahahahahahahahahahahha.
Mitt washed out. It is as if he changed his mind about being president and handed it to Obama. All he did was mirror Obama.
So much for the debate at Rat's Mouth.
Obama wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on the a$$! He forced through Obamacare as quickly as possible so, as Nancy Pelosi said "We need to pass this bill so we can find out what is in it!" He and his state department tried to foist an assinine story about "protests" about a 15 minute film that escalated into 4 American's being raped and slaughtered. They just did not want to admit that anyone could still hate America and the Dear Leader, Obama!
He has consistently blamed Bush for our economic problems even though he promised 5.4% unemployment, deficit reduction, and a growing economy IN SPITE of the economic issues we were having! It must be convenient to always be able to blame your predecessor! I never even once heard Reagan complaining about the disaster, economically and foreign policy, that Carter left him! Obama is just a wimp who never can take the blame for anything! He even had Hillary take the blame for not increasing security in Libya! COWARD!!!!!
Obama and the looney left has said that Romney wants to start wars because he wants to rebuild our military after two long wars. We need to project strength, not speeches!

Independent Thought- You can go to CNN for the live blog and that was the final post on the blog. Sorry your draft dogging cult leader didn't win again.
Note: One commentator was watching his twitter feeds. The two things he was seeing was the president being so aggressive to a challenger was not taken well. The other thing again, was that Romney perhaps agreed a bit too much with the President.
@bo; Much better, you see no delete or collapse.
Coral Taxi,
It's kind of easy to tone down the war drum beating when you take the drumstick out of your opponents hand who is the one beating the drum for you!
CNN MAIN PAGE POLL
Who do you think fared better in tonight's presidential debate?
Obama
76%
4169
Romney

Romney agreed so much with the president , Romney just endorsed the president and left for his new country he is developing China!
did you see the "I'm getting my flip flop ass kicked" grimace that Myth wore all debate? Let's hope that, other than Faux News spews contaminated pea-brains like Red Heat Ranting for example, most of us give the Prez his dues and another 4 yrs to guide us to better days. Insofar as Red Heat goes, it's bad enough reading your rants, then you make us look at that ugly picture so PLEASE don't mention your ass again. I retasted my pizza on that one and it wasn't nearly as good as the first time around
All these Republicans calling Obama a liar. I wonder if their tone will change when the fact checkers point out that Romeny was the real clear liar in the debate.
I have a feeling they will say the facts are lying at that point.
Romnesia at it's worst.
A clear difference in Foreign Policy mind sets.
Romney = A bloated lumbering military, Gunboat diplomacy, carry a really BIG unwieldly stick and make lots of noise. Then blink.
Obama = A smaller, well armed and deadly force, Strategic Asymmetrical warfare, have a credible lethal threat and calmly but clearly stare down your adversary and make it known it will be used.
Romney would plan with a Cold War mentality. Probably thinks there'll be battleship duels at sea in the Pacific and tank battles on the open, frozen plains of Mongolia!
Did anyone count how many times Romney said,
"The President is right."
Did you hear him say the surge in Afgah worked.
He seemed to agree with the Presidents policies alot.
Re-elect President Obama 2012
Wow, that was painful. Romney looked like some one who know nothing about a subject and has been given cards with talking points that he has to get out come hell or high water regardless of whether they are relevant or not. There were times he seemed to be looking for the right answer in the cards and just couldn't. He was pretty good with Pakistan but wow, that was really painful to watch...you know, if you are watching this to see whether they know what they are talking about or just to swear up and down that your guy won because he is not the other guy.
Romney/Ryan 2012.I am for a president,Mitt Romney,who want jobs so that people can work and get off of the government dole.Obama is for socialistic programs that help the poor stay poor and dependent on government and making sure that the middle class slowly sinks down to the poorest level since the depression.He's lied,back peddled,back stabbed and has no clue on how to bring about a bi-partisan government.Mitt can get Congress to get back to work for the good of all Americans. Romney/Ryan2102
I was disappointed that Romney let Obama off the hook for the fiasco on Libya. Romney mirrored Obama far too much. He flattened out. Romney did do well on deflecting Obama's personal attacks. Obama acted like he was better than Romney so Obama came across as arrogant and condescending. Having the candidates sit favored Obama. Obama over all won the debate. Romney must have decided at the last minute to let Obama get his four more years. I wonder what changed Romney's mind? It could not be that Obama bought him since Romney has plenty of his own money. I will still vote for Romney but I was disappointed with his performance on this debate. I wish that Romney had the courage to take Obama down on the Libya issue. Obama lied for 14 days saying that the deaths was the results of a film protest. This was a well organized terrorist attack which included the attack of a CIA safe house which is supposed to be secret. Obama insisted that it was the result of a protest not terrorism. Obama refused more security to protect the Ambassador and the three others. Romney should have never let Obama get away with these events. Obama blamed the intelligence community for bad information regarding the deaths at Libya. In only a few hours the intelligence came out that it was a terrorist attack. Obama went to a fund raiser rather than talk to his intelligence people and get the usual Presidential intelligence briefing. If it were Reagan, Reagan would NEVER let Obama get away with out taking the Libya attack to task.
Its good to know that Obama and Romney agree on foreign policy
WHO cares I want the things getting messed up at home fixed !
Wow.
The President clearly won the debate on foreign policy, but I would still give Romney the title of Miss Congeniality for being so agreeable with everything the President is doing, and for the number of times he said he wanted "World Peace."
Message to all you libs on this post: The only, and I mean only poll that means a damned thing this year is the election of November 6, 2012! I am just waiting to hear all of the screaming and complaining of "voter fraud" that will be vomitted by your ignorant mouths.
Romney/Ryan 2012..... Return to Sanity!
Chalk up another win for Obama.
Romney agreed with almost all of Obama's foreign policy initiatives, as well he should. Obama has been very successful in dealing with our allies and keeping a firm hand on our enemies.
Romney didn't say a word about Benghazi.
Obama clearly knows his stuff, while Romney looked like a high school kid who had memorized a bunch of information for the debate.
Obama is in a position of strength for the final two weeks of this election cycle.
VOTE OBAMA/ BIDEN
FOUR MORE YEARS!!!
Sandy:
A true leader, acknowledges things well done. It is called confidence. He also has a plethora of plans to make our nation more robust.
Romney/Ryan 2012
The bottom line is that Mitt just wants to help the help the middle class and create more jobs.....in CHINA.
LOL! The next article in line was just deleted. It was funny though, they were doing a poll that looked like this:
"Did the final debate results change who you would vote for" (roughly paraphrased).
Option 1: Yes, more likely Romney
Option 2: Yes, more likely Romney
Option 3: No change
Obviously the poll had to be fixed, but they just went ahead and deleted the whole article, and by extension, everyone's comments. I also noticed there was a strong conservative base in the beginning comments, but that's not allowed on National Barack Channel (AKA NBC)
Was surprised at all the rope-a-dope tactics by Romney, a lot of ducking and dodging but little punching. I guess Romney was more concerned about surviving the battle than scoring points, he was all huggy-huggy with Obama on foreign policy.
It's hard to dispute foreign policy with the President - he's been following President Bush's lead and implementing President Bush's plans .....because he's had none of his own?
The President has been distracted, though, with his own re-election. So he didn't meet with the Prime Minister of Israel and went on the View instead; he's urged Russia to wait until the election was over; he's been totally absent in the dealing with the Euro Crisis (granted, with our fiscal mess, he has no credibility...).
Governor Romney at least has the where with all to commend the President on the things he's done right. Whereas the President is still in 100% campaign mode during discussions about serious issues like foreign policy.....and tries to spin the Governor's positions when they should really be focusing on the security of the nation.
I have to apologize for what I said about Romney while he was at Bain Capital. Based on his performance tonight he never knew what was going on at Bain Capital because he doesn't have the ability to make a decision and stick with it. He had other people doing the work. He was just a figurehead at Bain Capital and he would be the same as POTUS.
How come when Romney was a blustering bully in the first debate, that is okay with the GOP/TP, but when the President calls Romney out for ping-ponging on the issues back and forth in this debate, the GOP/TP labels that "attacking?"
The GOP double standard.
@db Akron;
But I say it is easier when your advisors tell you that you are losing parts of the voting public with the "tough guy act". He backpedaled tonight, and tried to show a kinder gentler Mitt. Well like I said earlier I will not fall for it.
This is the same guy that allegedly held a fellow student down and shaved his head, because his hair was long. Then blows it off like some school yard prank. Scarring someone for life is no prank sir. I believe he still has these same tendencies, and I can see it when he is knashing his teeth waiting his turn to talk ,when he feels he is being wronged.
Also the next hoo rah speech he makes notice his head go side to side and scan the audience after some feel good remark, to see if they are buying what he is selling, I noticed him doing this last week. Smile,look side to side, are they buying it? Are they buying it?lol
3-1 Dems. Now lets get to the booths where it really counts.
ROFLMAO
I just saw Barack O'Romney debate Barack Obama!
WOW......
Frankly all I heard was Romney saying that he agreed with the President.
Did all the Republicans here enjoy that? I did!
Obama/Biden 2012
While I'm a strong supporter of Obama I have admitted that I felt Mitt won the first debate,C they broke even or close to even in the second debate, but being the Commander-in-Chief has its advantages and tonight that was very clear as Mitt was run over by a freight train with his shifting stances that were sighted. At times he was laughable! If this doesn't show some shift in the polls then Americans are dumber or more stuck to party loyalties than I imagined. I left the republican't party years ago as it represents nothing that I remember of the party I believed in. Now it is the tool of big business, the corporate world and militarism! I pray to God to wake up Americans to the evils of the extreme right that now has become the republican party that Ike warned us about. "The military, industrial Complex!"
After the second debate, the left said Obama won, but the polls continued toward Romney. After this debate, the left is saying Obama won. I can hardly wait 3 days to see the polls, IF NBC's own facebook was any indication.
clwyd,
I hear you. I left the GOP after Bush/Cheney thrust us into two wars, dropped the economic atomic bomb on this nation, then high-tailed it out of the Oval Office, riding off into the sunset on their golden retirement plans to a life of luxury on their ranches in Texas and Wyoming.
President Obama has proven he has what it takes to be our Nation's Commander in Chief. He was every bit of the leader tonight in the debate.
Congratulations, Mr. President! Here's to four more years!
DB Akron, look at other channels except FOX. FOX would say Romney won even if he left the stage crying.
Good job Mitt, good BYE obumbo!!
The score: Obama/Biden 3, Romney/Ryan 1, We have a decision.
Ho hum, so it's over? Good. I had more growing grass that needed watching.
Romney looked like a total Fool on this debate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite moment of the debate was when President Obama said the reason the Navy is different now than in 1916 is because back then we had "more horses and bayonets" and now we "have aircraft carriers and fighter jets."
Priceless!
But, let's face it, Gov. Romney walked right into that one. As soon as Romney said something about us having less ships now than in 1916, I thought, "Well ... yeah ... technology is a bit different than it was 100 years ago ..."
And then when the President said, "We aren't playing Battleship ..."
Perfect response!
Watched three of these damn things now. Gave him his shot to prove otherwise, however, after three debates, I still see Romney as an out of touch old fool. Sorry guys, your horse needs to be put out to pasture, his best times are in the past at this point. Give him some warm milk, a fresh pair of Depends, and put him to bed. Try again in 2016.
If Robme agrees with the president so much why do we need to change Presidents? Romney wants the same tax breaks for the wealthy that Bush wants and more, and we seen the economy collapse with that idea, POTUS Obama is taking us forward Mitt wants to take us back to 1899.
Obama/Biden 2012 because Mittens does not have a clue
President Obama clearly won this debate. Mitt Romney while trying to display a presidential demeanor, he has once again changed his stance on just about every issue. Is this the type of person that America wants to meet with world leaders and the American people be on pins and needles because we don't know what he might say. He would be an embarrassment. Do we want a worldwide reputation of being dishonest, because I know he will tell a leader of a foreign country (or promise) something and not follow through or deny even saying it. We actually wouldn't know what to expect if this man is voted into office. Why would anyone believe anything he says, he changes his stance according to the situation. I don't know what he stands for and thats a damn good reason he doesn't meet the requirements for the office of POTUS.
For the 3rd time and before millions of our citizens, Romney lied.
He "flip-flopped" and ducked.
Romney has a dangerous view of America's foreign policy role.
Mitt is aiming to send U.S. troops into unnecessary wars.
Romney states that America's goal should be to "bring peace on earth."
His above statement is not logical foreign policy.
Mitt's statement reveals his political naivety and future military blundering. Historically, there has never been a time when the entire world was at peace. The nature of existence is conflict. Thus, Romney is aiming for an unachievable goal. He is aiming for a goal that will cost our daughters and sons their lives, and in other lands cause "collateral damage."
Romney's foreign policy vision will lead to this country increasing our debt, having less resources for our infrastructure and strained diplomatic relationships.
Romney states that America must ["get rid of the fanatical thought process that is in the middle east."] It is not this country's role to be deploy our military to go to these foreign lands and "change the minds" of millions of people, millions of people who have held their religious beliefs for many centuries.
Mitt's above foreign policy stance would put this country in the position of being the world's "thought police."
Romney did state that Russia was this country's biggest threat.
He flip-flopped and says that it is Iran.
President Obama is credible when he states that terrorists networks are this countries biggest threats
Romney stated that he would deal harshly with China.
If Mitt was sincere about rendering China less threatening, he would have severed his business relationships with this Communist country, which aids and arms Iran.
Romney puts profits before people, and this is the reason that he has not "closed the deal" with China.
Romney states we should make Iran a "civil society."
He should tell us how he intends to make the Ayatollah take off his religious cloak.
Obama is right. It is the responsibility of the great majority of nations to take care of their own affairs. President Obama believes in effective diplomacy. This does not mean that we are abandoning human rights.
Diplomacy before bombs makes sense.
Romney lied when he stated that he was for a "managed" bailout of the auto industry.
When Detroit was on the verge of financially collapsing, Mitt's response was to let our automobile industry become bankrupt. He did not care about the blue-collar workers on the assembly line. He did not care about the families that would not be able to pay their mortgages, buy food to eat, or pay for their children's education.
If Mitt truly cared about this country's economy, while he worked for Bain, he would not have "pink-slipped" so U.S. many workers.
When President Obama mentioned Mitt's inconsistencies, Mitt falsely accused the president of "attacking" him.
Romney knows nothing about "statesman" foreign policy!
To work toward prosperity, global competitiveness, and peace, the choice is clear:
Obama/Biden, November 6, 2012!
Obama/Biden, January 20, 2013!
Redhead Ranting:
How come Obama only has balls when he's in a debate? Why can't he find them when he's governing?
Because Michells wearing them.
Romney was actually NOT all huggy huggy with Obama. IF you were paying attention and listening with real comprehensions skills instead of hearing the Obama BS tapes your instructed to believe so that you don't need to ever listen to differing points of view then you would understand there were some very basic key differences between BO and Romney. Romney is right in saying we can NOT reduce the size of our military. We absolutely need to be the strongest and best trained and armed nation. We have to be to seen as a leader among nations to have any sway with the countries that hate us. Romney was right in saying Obama appears weak and soft to those that hate us and would destroy us if they could. We don't have to necessarly use that superior might but we HAVE TO HAVE IT TO BE RESPECTED by these backward, hateful, warring nations!!!! Romney is also right in saying that the Obama style sanctions are NOT working!!! We have to be much tougher to stop Iran from being armed with nuclear weapons!! Obama saying that terrorists are on the run and aren't any real threat is plain BS. Proven by what happend to Ambasador Steven and our 3 other American hero's. These SOB terrorists threw this in our faces!!! "Obama, Obama, we are all Osama says alot!!!! Romney didn't even need to take Obama to task for his lies reagrding this incident! Every news station is reporting the same things. The Obama administraton watched events in real time and did NOTHING!!! Ambassador Steven repeatedly warned that trouble was coming and had been asking for help for months before and continued to do so right up until the day he DIED!!!! Intelligent Americans don't need Romney to read Obama the riot act to know and understand this!!!! IN not tearing Obama apart over it Romney proved that he is ready, prepared and able to take on and do the job that is reqiured of the President of the United States of America. Romney did NOT stoop down to Obamas' low level of insulting, rude, belitting and childish behavior. HE didn't need to, didn't have to. Obama just showed all Americans how childish and incapable he is for the job, to lead and to bring ALL AMERICANS TOGETHER!!!! A vote for Obama is a vote to further divide this nation. A vote for Romney is a vote for turning this country around as a world leader, a economically sound country, as a bi-partisan nation working together for the bettermentof us all!!!!
Has anyone bothered to add up how much all that military hardware Mitt wants would cost?
I thought Ryan said we can't afford Medicare anymore.
Personally, I'd rather have Medicare than another 100 battleships.
3. 2.... 1... and here come the RWNJ whinning, wait I hear the WHAMBULANCE
Larry, I checked all the channels
Fox - commentators thought draw to Obama win.
I think it was ABC or CBS (had both on at the same time) that said Romney, but all the rest said Obama.
What counts is what the voters think, not the News media.
ROBMEHOOD was a JOKE in this debate, the World was Laughing at him, I feel sorry for Mitt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is funny they said Romney won the 1st one, then Biden took the VP one, then Obama the 2nd hmmmm then how come Romney gain so much ground on Obama? and as for Romney not have any foreign policy experience, what foreign policy experience did Obama have when he took office? none at all. so I have to say the real loser of all this will be known after the people vote no sooner no later.
Peace?
...in this world it means less conflict, not more.
President Obama proved tonight that not only is he is the Commander in Chief and that he has earned and deserves our respect.
Not only is he slowly turning our nation's lagging economy around, and taking care of dozens of issues a President faces on a daily basis, but he is fully in charge of what is happening in the White House and with our foreign policy around the world.
Well done, Mr. President!
And now we see it: The Republicans are mostly religious mutts and bigots.
I've never seen a bigger sap on T.V. than Romney!
He's the same as Bush and Cheney. All for money for the rich and war to clean up with another corporation like The Carlyse Group and Haliburton.
They have nothing in common with NORMAL America. Just the religious and bigoted right.
Real American,
I thought Obama showed great improvement in the knowledge of the military, but what still is alarming is his attitude toward it.
We have to be very careful with military cuts and he was very cavilier about it.
His comment to Romney about "they have these thing called aircraft carriers" comment came off like the chick hicks pit crew to Guido. That will not play well with women.
Yes, our aircraft carriers are the biggest and strongest in the world. Yes we have the most. But they are like fire departments 12 hour 4 day shifts. You only have half the total available at a time. They are supposed to be on 4 months and off 4 months. To handle our needs we had to run the 6 months on and 4 months off.
This left silly crap like the pirates have a lot of success attacking and taking shipping off the coast of Sudan.
In 3 years we will no longer have a numerical superiority of aircraft carriers. We will be dependent on Great Brittain and Australia to maintain equality in numbers and theirs are not as powerful. Three years beyond that we will be behind in numbers.
Going to low in the numbers will invite nuclear war and leave us strapped to answer emergencies.
Our current group of planes are aging. One reason is that the designed replacement failed, the other reason is that age is exposing flaws that will prove the current fleet at risk of being beaten by the newer generations of competitor nation's aircraft. This is a big hole until the new generation design reaches deployment assuming it doesn't flop too.
What a bunch of cheerleaders many of you are...
I wanted the President to ask Mitt about his son Tagg buying stock/controlling interest in one of the voting machine companies who's product will be used to determine the outcome of this election. Why is it not a conflict of interests? Either Mitt should not be able to run for office or Tagg should sell of his interests in that company.
So who does Mitt think actually pays for it when a company goes into bankruptcy? Does the debt they owe magically disappear? NO IT DOES NOT. That was his great answer for the auto industry, have the taxpayers PAY FOR IT ANYWAY. He just wanted the chance to swoop in and make some money off the deal is all. Can he do this with America? NO HE CANNOT.
I bet Netanyahu is not happy with lose lips Mitt. Cannot even keep it a secret that the two of them have been talking...lol. What does that say about him?
Would our economy, government, debt, etc. be doing as bad as it is if the top tax rates were returned to the 70-90% that they were during this country's "golden years"? NO IT WOULD NOT. Why do we let people like Mitt get away with paying only 14% and how can you defend that? They should be paying at least 35%? How much more revenue would that generate if they pay 60% of the income taxes? What effect would that have on our debt?
A tax cut is a revenue reduction regardless of if it adds up to more or less then 5 trillion and can only add MORE to our debt. 2 trillion more for the military they do not need is even more added on to the debt. It only helps defense contractors make even more money off the taxpayers. There is only 1.2 trillion in loopholes and deductions which still leaves a big gap even if all were cut not to mention we are already over budget. We have been over budget for almost 30+ years. Small business also started to decline 30 years ago, I wonder why? Ever since we reduced the top tax rate to lower then 70% our debt/economy has been having problems. Worker's wages started to go stagnant back when the top tax rates were lowered from 90% to 70%. I went into more detail about how systems without taxes or limiting factors FAIL in my previous post/reply in another article, look it up if you want.

Your post would make more sense if Obama himself had been in the Military.
BO 2012
Are you kidding? I think Obama interrupted Romney at least 20 times.
Obama kept butting in on Romney while he was speaking. Romney could have done the same thing, but he politely waited until Obama finished his lying and then spoke. Romney was the most Presidential. Obama sounded desperate. Obama has nothing to run on and must lie to the American people, who more and more are seeing through all the lies.
I really hope that people in the swing states of Ohio, Florida, Colorado, and Virgina will see through all the Obama lies and vote for Mitt Romney so this country doesn't really go into a tailspin.
WoW! After watching Romney tonight I actually think the courts have got it right...Corporations are people. Mitt proves it!
Damn you Romney! You had a real chance here, and you let Obama make you his bitch. I'm ashamed to say I ever even thought about voting for you, you effin' pussy!
Love this post:
Did you watch the post debate? Romney’s grandson (I think) made a bee line to get to Obama to shake his hand so someone picks him up and then he’s still trying to get to him and then they pass him around and then Romney gets him for about 10 seconds and the kid is STIll trying to get to Obama and Obama knows whats going on and it looks like he’s about to hold his arms out for him and then some unseen arms snatches the kid away and off the stage!! It was priceless and goes along with what you’ve said about kids and Obama… THEY LOVE HIM!! Even Mitts own grandson!!! LOL, this was a great debate… CBS poll — 30 pts OBAMA!!!
Impressive drubbing the President put on Romney in the debate... Obama looked very impressive and Presidential while Romney looked like a salesman and clearly not qualified to be Commander in Chief.
@Redhead Ranting; Howdy young lady. In your post #1.39, you were saying that "even Obama doesn't believe what he's saying"..do you mean that Obama doesn't believe what Romney is saying? G'night, look for you tomorrow.
21 years in the military. I do not think i am entitled, I think I earned the things the government promised me. Fock You, Romney for even thinking I am this entitled 47% that you say I am. At least I know Joe Biden has had a son actually risking is life serving in Afghanistan making him invested to the troops over there in harms way. What do YOU want to do Mr. Romney? You want to tax the middle class and the poor heavily while giving tax cuts to the wealthy so that (even though in more than 30 years it hasn't) their wealth might "trickle down" to the rest of us. OLD $#!+ THERE!!! That crap just never worked and it won't again!!!
Re-elect our Commander-in-Chief President Obama 2012
Leader of the free world.
Romney is a talking point bullimic: he stuffs in as much information as he thinks he can memorize and then he regurgitates it.
Alan, the reason Romney didn't butt in tonight is because President Obama was telling the truth and knew what he was talking about. Romney, however, was out of his league and knew it. The President interrupted to put the lies to bed. Romney had nothing to correct and nothing to add.
watching, your full of crap and you know it. Obama was beinghis usual self. Arrogant, narcissistic, rude, crude, immature, and untruthful. This trash mouth jerk who think his agenda is slamming the opponent rather than running the country doesn't deserve 4 more!!!!
Read the headline Obama's is calling the kettle black. What did he do on foreign policy when he 1st won the presidency? Go around bowing to foreigners, kissing ass & apologizing to people he had no business doing. He is the biggest hypocrite I've ever seen.
They were both lying & telling half truths in the debate go to politifact . com
Robme has flip-flopped so much that he now spells his name Ttim! I can remember back to when JFK was elected and in all the candidates since, I cannot remember one who changed his position on things as much as Robme has and he does it all without batting an eye. What is scary about him is that he actually expects people to believe that what he says is legitimate. Even he cannot believe what comes out of his own mouth! Lastly, the fact that Robme has to keep "walking back" (flip-flopping) his statements tells me that he will lie to you while looking you in the eye swearing he is telling the truth AND that as far as people who do that, any halfway decent psycologist or psychiatrist would tell you that there is something wrong going on with the mind of that person. Robme will not be the president, thank goodness and the rethuglican party have only themselves to blame. NO ONE ELSE! Let us develop a long-term plan for keeping the rethugs and t-tards out of office for quite a while. They deserve it!
O and JOE 2012!!!!!!!
RR- We were once a fine, strong, respectful country. Now we cater to the lowest common denominator. We have no honor left. I want honor again. I want jobs, I want to be proud to be an American again.
What are you talking about? If your not proud to be an American,take a hike.And honor is a personal quality,that you have or not.
Clearly Romney lost this debate by embracing every single policy of Obama. If, as Romney says, the original is working, why settle for an imitation? Especially when the imitation is going back on everything he has been saying, all the time saying that a leader needs to be clear. Mr. Romney, you are not clear, you do not lead, you follow. You are weak! Iran will run all over you. Please do this country a favor and go back to living off the proceeds of your Swiss bank account. You're rich, we get that, but the Presidency is not a prize that you get for getting rich screwing people.
I can top that! I spent 31 years in the military and to have Romney conduct a convention acceptance speech and three debateS and not mention the troops at least once in any of those events is downright disgusting, deplorable and sickening. Obama mentioned the troops at his acceptance speech and in the third debate. This POS of a Romney candidate, who draft dodged during Viet Nam, who's five children cannot see themselves in uniform, who ignores the troops, wants to be Commander in Chief!? I DON'T THINK SO! This rich, spoiled excuse of a human being needs to go back to his venture capitalist world, where "stick it to the employees" is the main objective.
You right wing people may support this POS, but you better hope none of your kids wind up in the military and go off to war. With Romney as president, they can expect crap when they return.
What's even more infuriating is that Romney will spend two trillion dollars of tax-payers' money on weapons systems that the military hasn't asked for--so he can fatten the wallets of his defense industry CEOs--but doesn't seem to give a crap about the troops.
Anyone here that comes back on this post with "thank you for your service" and then vote for Romney would be handing all military people and veterans the worst insult possible.
RealAmericansFirst
Hmmmm, if you want Medicare maybe you need to be willing to either pay more for it or privatize it.
A typical couple retiring last year will, on average pay about $150,000 in Medicare taxes over their lifetime. The problem is, they will receive more than $350,000 in benefits.
Even you predominantly illiterate Libbies can calculate this disparity. If this isn’t enough, how about this little factoid?
Last year, Americans paid $274 billion in Medicare taxes and premiums. At the same time, the program paid out $564 billion in benefits. That amounts to a shortfall of roughly $290 billion. Looking into the future, even the most optimistic estimate by the program's trustees puts Medicare's future unfunded liabilities at more than $38.6 trillion. More realistic projections suggest the shortfall could easily top $90 trillion.
So, what do we do about that? You can confiscate all the wealth in our nation and not cover our ever-growing Unfunded Liabilities.
Of course your typical, irrational, knee-jerk reaction is to blame the usual bogeyman, the Military Industrial Complex. One of the Constitutionally mandated requirements of our government is funding the military.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say to pay for health care. Please don’t embarrass yourselves by claiming the “General Welfare Clause”, the “Commerce Clause”, the “Necessary and Proper Clause” or any other bastardization of the Constitution, none of them work.
Just because Barrack Hussein doesn’t believe our Constitution is a “Charter of Negative Liberties”, doesn’t mean you have to lower yourself to that level.
Now, if this doesn’t convince you of the dysfunction of our criminal government that all you Liberals worship, there’s a very simple solution to funding everything our government should do, even retaining Medicare.
Eliminate the $750 BILLION we lose to waste, fraud, abuse and corruption in our health care system EVERY YEAR!!!!!
Simply correcting this massive loss of our tax dollars would provide 150 MILLION Americans with $5,000 of health care insurance EVERY YEAR!!!
Please stop complaining about our Constitutionally required functions of government while it is so incompetent at taking care of our hard earned tax dollars.
Every year we waste what it costs to run our military because of another failed Progressive wet-dream that doesn’t work effectively, efficiently or affordably.
Your priorities, as usual, are misguided.
Stop worshipping at the altar of Big Government.
It’s ripping you, and every American, off and you don’t even realize it.
ROMNEY/RYAN 2012 FOR REAL AMERICANS©
The President came across clear, concise, strong, authoritative, capable, decisive and ardent..Mitt came across confused, weak, meek but clear about his NEW stance for the day....which, when he was not agreeing with the President, was rather woosie...I saw no backbone...no strength...
Integrity, credibility and strength are key to foreign relations...Mitt showed none of these traits.
Our allies have got to trust what we say we will do and our enemies have got to trust we will do what we say..............I doubt if any of allies or enemies were watching this debate they were neither feeling Mitt was trustworthy nor a force to fear.......
President Obama IS our commander in chief...........and the world knows it.
Well, another debate over, and Obumba has delivered another couple of dozen lies amongst his 3,000 lies that the stupid public with a 4th grade education have no better sense than to believe. Luckily, the reputable polls show Romney still 4% ahead, so maybe we will have a decent president soon, although it's probably too late to save America with over 16 trillion in debt.
Jon... very well said!
What values does Mitt want the world to look up to us for? He ran off to France instead of joining the military during a time of need. His Grandfather ran off to Mexico instead of facing Polygamy charges. How is Mitt the man with values?
The people of Massachusetts are happy to tell you why Romney should not be the next President of the United States and that is the reason he did not run for a second term as Governor. He would have lost to Deval Patrick overwhelmingly.

@ JimSpence,
How do you come up with a cost of $350,000 of coverage? At what age do you calculate that number to? Are you taking into account people are living longer? How long and if they are living longer is that because they are healthier? How many of those people have retirement or have saved for retirement? That's a lot of questions I know, I'll give you a few hours to figure them out. Being a Romney supporter I realize you may be a little slow.
Mr. President, you have my vote! Just like last time. It's in the mail!!
Your going to be super shocked when Romney wins the presidency and its because you are all living in a MSN and CNN biased shell! You don't have many republicans that comment on these threads because you are all so freaky and rabid! Do you see the rant after rant after rant from the same wackos on here saying the same thing over and over! Thats crazy! Anyway, you don't realize that the rest of the world has a say and Romney WILL be president! I was looking at Fox news and they said some MSN reporter was spewing some garbage out that republicans only want Obama out of the White House because they are racist! Well, for people that have an actual brain and people that can come up with REAL arguements we know that is all hype to get more Obama votes and its DESPERATE at best! Seriously, if your at the point where you have to try to use scare tactics and make up RACIAL lies to push voters then your really desperate! The idiocy of most of you people that just believe whatever you are FORCE FED by these idiots is astounding! Republicans are not RACIST, were not all prolife! I would never have an abortion but I don't care if you do! I have a mixed race daughter, my daughter has Asian mixed sons and black mixed son. You can spew your lies all day to make people fearfull of us just to get votes but YOU ARE THE ONES RUINING THE WORLD AND CAUSING RACE ISSUES EVERY TIME YOU ACCUSE SOMEONE OF BEING RACIST UNLESS YOU KNOW THEY ARE!!!! This is NOT a game!!!!!!!!!!! We are all people on both sides that care about most of the same things!!!!!!! STOP PITTING US AGAINST EACHOTHER FOR YOUR GAIN!!!!! People you have to realize this helps NO ONE!
One year when Yogi Barra was preparing his team for a world series, his hitters were in a slump, someone ask him who he was going to start and he said, "we are going with them that brung us". He was staying with his lineup of the players who got them into the world series.
This election really begs the question of who do you believe? President Obama came from a surly middle class background. His mother and grandparents raised him in Hawaii to a middle class standard. He knows what it is like to struggle economically.
Romney was raised in very affluent circumstances. I doubt if he ever had to struggle financially, if he ever had to ask where his next Krugerrand was coming from. So if Romney is elected who do you think he will favor. Do you really think he will favor the middle class, a class he has no connection with.
As president, he appoints members of the Supreme Court who reflect Romney's vision of American, where corporations are people, or will he get back to a court helping working families.
What about our troops, will he honor them or just treat them as expendable items on a spread sheet? He never mentions them during the debates, none of his five sons will never spend a day wearing a military uniform or serve our country in wartime. He can have all the wars he wants, it won't cost him anything personal, as long as his corporate buddies make money, who cares, just like Cheney and Bush.
He already said he won't put one dime of taxes on the wealthy, so where to you think the extra money will come from when Romney's tax policies start going south, what deductions and loopholes will be closed. I can guarantee you it won't be the wealthy's taxes that change. I imagine Social Security, will change, medicare will change, as the mortgage tax credit. No matter what Romney has said, the middle class will almost be destroyed under his leadership, again because he has no connection with middle class people. It's simple, if he's elected and then gets in trouble, he is going with, "the people what brung him", his buddies from Bain and the like, that he knows, and is familiar with and trusts, the ones that have elevators for their cars in the garages too.
I live in Hawaii, a vet, who is a retired union carpenter, my wife is a teacher and we have already voted. Now we'll sit back and watch how real it will get. "Hold ye with the truth, and the truth shall set you free".
2annoyalibusefacts: No, to annoy a lib be a patent racist. Mongrel? Really?
Redhead, we watched different debates apparently; Romney was the one stammering throughout the entire debate (did he have the flu or something?). Obama won it with the 'horses and bayonets' line. And I have to call you out on this one: "We were once a fine, strong, respectful country. Now we cater to the lowest common denominator. We have no honor left. I want honor again." What, under GWB, our last republican president? Are you for real?
Im still trying to figure out what math and science teachers have to do with foreign policy!
niece1964,
If CNN and MSN (MSNBC) are saying the same thing, don't you think there is some validity to what's being said? In fact I'll take you a step further, if the Washington Post, ABC, CBS and a slew of other TV and newspaper sources are saying the same thing, don't you think there's added validity?
I also noticed that you mentioned FOX News. The difference between FOX News and MSNBC and CNN is this - MSNBC and CNN have shown that they will criticize this President as we as Mr. Romney. FOX News is biased and will never criticize Romney; they will always be on the attack when it comes to the President. So, I, like a majority of America, don't pay much attention to what FOX News is reporting. FOX New Journalist are not paid to be unbiased and any credible news agency or reporter that's worth their salt will tell you so.
I will stipulate that not all Republicans are Racist, Pro-life, or gun toting bible thumpers, if you will stipulate that there is a good number of Republicans that are...and it's damned scary. Specifically in regards to the racist remark, several prominent Republicans and their son's have so much as said that "we have the opportunity to send President Obama back to Chicago - or Kenya!" If he would have stopped at Chicago, no problem...but Jason Thompson didn't. I will agree that people have a tendency to say things in the heat of the moment...but I've learned a long time ago that people usually say what their really thinking when they believe what's being said will be held in confidence.
How about the birther issue? When it was finally put to rest, Tea Party Republicans never let it rest. Why? Fear perhaps? Because his name is Barack Hussein Obama and to some that name closely resembles what Americans fear the most - Muslims. Any to many what do Muslims represent terrorists.
I mean this list can go on and on and unfortunately for the Republican Party - the racist tag is going to stick until the party gets back to it's roots - the Party of Lincoln.
Mr. Romney has said so many things over the last 6 years and flipped on almost everything he has said, I don't know exactly where he stands on anyone position. Now, in order to get the vote, he has moved positions to the center, but once he receives your vote, will we still see the same person in the oval office? The answer...well you just need to do an audit of Mr. Romney as Governor of Massachusetts - I must say the picture is pretty bleak for Republicans.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
CLINTON/???? 2016
WOW, what a debate performance by President Obama! He was focused like a laser and on point at all times.
By contrast Mitt was off balance at all times, careening off topic repeatedly and constantly agreeing with President Obama in contradiction to Romney’s own previous positions!
The winner of this one was clear…President Obama takes two in the three game series.
Really enjoyed Ranting Redheads blow-by-blow... republicans, you've got the sucking part down, now we need to work on the head bobbing!
Obama went into Libya and overthrew their government and look at the MESS it is in now!
It's ironic that Obama has the balls to critisize Mitts lack of in-experience in foreign policy when in fact when Obama came into office this President didn't have any himself, or even know how to run a state or create a job. So, I say to you Obama I find you a arrogant, hypocrite. As far as Lybia you have failed on that Policy and lack of leadership and tell that to those 4 Americans that died & families by refusing security for them. Any moron would always put high security in any Muslim country,especially when they all hate us and want us killed. Obama STINKS.!!!!!!!
Obama keeps saying that Romney wants to go to the failed policies of the past. does he mean the time Osama Bin laden was in custudy and the sitting president said Oh no we don't want him so he was let go. Or does he mean the failed policy that let the banking industry go wild and loan 125% of the equity in a home to people who they knew couldn't afford a home of any kind ?, Of does he mean the poicy that single handedly caused most of our manufacturing jobs to leave this country ? thsoe to me are the poicies that put us here today. over 3000 American lives were lost because that President said no let bin laden go. Millions of jobs have been lost because that President signed NAFTA ,GAFT and other "free" not "fair" traade agreements. Millions of people lost homes when their jobs left and they were in upside down mortgages. That President so many revere so highly too just as many do President Obama today.That President also lied to congress, straight faced and was let off.Obama lied many times last night. One example is the auto bail out. He said Romney never said he was for any government bail out. Go check it out for your self. Romney did say in 2008 that after a full structured bailout if government assistance was needed then and ony then should it be given. He knew that unless GM went through a total make over and management change the company would only fail again in time. Well the time is here AGAIN. GM is faultering because of the same ole executive principles.
Do i really like Romney ? Not necessarily. I do know that for 4 years I have entrusted in Obama to turn this country around and he hasn't. His only real claim to fame is getting Osama Bin Laden on his watch. To hear him tell it he is the one who actually pulled the rigger that night when in fact is was aconcerted effort of over 10 years that finally bore the fruit of the person his Democratic predecessor let go.I don't trust obama with the Iran situation either. He and his VP both seem to think it a laughing matter when the subject is addressed, Biden says "they don't even have a missle" . all I can think is. The missle is the easiest thing to get when they are ready. This type of lack of concern for real foriegn dangers is what got 4 people killed just a few weeks ago. Jo cool and cool cat can laugh and make up little ziggers while innocent people are dying. Americans are struggling more every day and these two think it is comical.
I don't praise Bill Clinton for his failed policies that Obama so highly talks of. I don't worship the smooth talk coming from Obama again. The same empty promises of 4 years ago. Remember those commitments he made to us ? Many of you have either forgotten or choose to ingnor that he has not fulfilled them. I did vote for President Obama in 2008 but I will not in 2012. I have yet to hear ANY real policy come from the President to fix our economy. NONE. If any of you have let me know. It is time for change not talk of change.We are rapidly running out of time.
Hey pie, you're really gonna scream over the deaths of four Americans after your president ignored the facts and led 4,409 US servicemen to their deaths for nothing? You republicans need to get things strait in your head.
1.) Bob Schieffer did a fairly good job and some of the other moderators should take note. (Candy I'm looking at you.)
2.) This was probably the least likely debate to change anyone's mind.
3.) Both candidates did a good job and accomplished what they set out to do.
While I think Obama did a good job I think the strategy for this debate was very different for the two candidates. Obama seemed on the attack which may have helped him look like he won the debate and helped with the base, but his like-ability which he had a good lead over Romney on is going to take a hit. (Polls already show this) Romney on the other hand came in wanting to look Presidential. He talked seriously about the issues, showing solid knowledge of the world and the problems we face, but tried not to get too aggressive with Obama and cross some line. I would of liked him to be more aggressive, but his strategy of looking more presidential I think will pay off in the end. Like in the second debate Obama was going after Romney charging up his debate, while Romney looked to assure women voters and get more independents.
Had a lack of seasoned foriegn affairs really mattered to voters obama would have never been elected in the first place. obama does have experience now, however; he seems to screw-up everything he does. Romney displayed himself as the presidential material we need to make the USA strong, and UNITED. obama, and his enforcer eric holder seem to work overtime on dividing the country. What was obama talking about when he told the Russians to wait untill after he gets re-elected as he will have more flexibility????. There's a reason Russian troops were in Colorado training with our troops on dealing with civil unrest and rounding up people, and if there's a majority of Americans STUPID enough to re-elect obama we may find out the hard way. ........ROMNEY/RYAN 2012-2020
@RepubforObama
Funny thing is this was posted 11 minutes after the debate started. Not after it ended. I know you Libtards like RepublicansforObama are comfortable with lying and being lied to but come on man. The site fact checked you and showed you to be a lying sack of @!$%#.
"Arrogant, dismissive, derisive", who knew that in 2009 Mr. Obama would so accurately describe himself to the world while on his apology tour denigrating the US. Romney is light years ahead of Obama in leadership skills and understanding of the fundamental values of our great nation. If you think a nation weakened by $26 trillion dollars in debt (Obama's proposed budget) and that" leads from behind' " and lies to the American people about the nature of a 9/11 terrorist attack is good, vote for Obama.
If you think we need an economic plan that creates jobs and balances our budget (leaving us fiscally strong) and leadership that does not denigrate our country and is willing to actually lead in our best interest on the international stage while being straightforward with the American people is good, vote for Romney
I can see it now"" Four more years of Republican haggling, Four more years of Republican scrutinizing"""
Why would you want to be Obama around a bunch of hateful Republicans..
"Governor Romney, you have absolutely no foreign policy experience!"- O'bama
"With all due respect Mr. President, you had no foreign policy experience!"-Romney
"I think I've made my point.."-O'bama
New unemployment figures just came out 5.8%. This will help Obama, without a doubt, so close to the election day.
Mitt's new military strategy.
We'll put lanterns in church bell towers, oneth by land twoeth by sea.
Lets apologize to the terrorists every time they attack!
Gas prices are coming down, that will help Obama. The president does not set gas prices, but that is irrelevant in politics.
But our Navy is fine, and Russia isn't a Geopolitical foe. (Sarcasm)
Chris Matthews is right that Romney wants to be the BOSS of America. The White House is the only thing that he hasn't conquered. The fact that he has been denied the office of presidency once already makes it all that more appealing to him. He thinks and talks like your boss already - changing his tune anytime he feels like he's offending too many of his employees. Thing about the boss is that, he only gives a crap about you or me as long as he's collecting profits from your talent. He doesn't care for your input no matter how many times he tells you about his open door policy and in the end, when he has milked you for all he can, he will let you go without a second thought.
I don't understand why Obama feels the need to tell the Middle East to BE RESPONSIBLE for themselves and yet doesn't want Americans to be responsible for themselves????
Seems like quite the double standard
"If it were Reagan, Reagan would NEVER let Obama get away with out taking the Libya attack to task." Ray Gun appointed Rumsfeld to visit Saddam and work with him in support of his war against Iran. Later, 300.000 Iraqis massacred under Bush 1 in Iraq all in one go and you have the audacity to point fingers when you know they just now came out with the news that the administration followed the infomration of the CIA on Lybia? All you silly repugs yapping out your crap, remember all these familiar folks in your party? They lied. Enjoy the Rumsfeld handshake with Saddam and all the rest of the complicity now proven!

Amazing! Obama was beyond horrible in his first debate and MSNBC, Democrats in general and everyone on that side collectively (to a man, to a women, to a pundit) said so and called him out (I wrote and thereafter, several times on line that he looked like he was trying to loose the election)!
How is it then that when the President has 2 out of 3 wins (the last 2 debates) the far right can invent such obvious and laughable fictions? Honestly, if Mitt had jumped up on the top of the table in the last debate and took a proverbial bowel movement he would/was applauded by FOX and these "I hate Obama more then I hate Mitt" types for being manly assertive, in your face decisive, take no prisoners all while simultaneously being a really nice guy and Presidential... but somehow (to the point of ad nauseum) Obama was just an "angry Black Man! I'm sorry but you guys can never own it because even though you can dish it out... it appears YOU CAN NEVER TAKE IT! By the way for those who did not watch the last debate... Obama decidedly won and in the less then nuanced vernacular of boxing, "it was a knock out with Mitt going down for the count". Proceed Mr. Romney...
"Obama casts Romney as unseasoned on foreign affairs"
Like the Community Organizer-in-Chief had "seasoned" foreign affairs experience when he assumed office after being a Congressional representative and voting PRESENT during his two year stint in Congress.
Another Un-Presidential moment.
LOL.
The race card, it never gets old!
Most republicans I have heard have said they thought Obama won on points (if it were boxing) and won on being more aggressive, but htought Romney looked more Presidential. (Which was the strategy to try and win women and independents.)
Well decidedly is your biased take on it. I thought Obama won the debate, but lost the like-abilty / Presidential image war. Debates are more then just debating points and that is what you on the left aren't getting. You can come away from a debate and say that guy won but that guy is who I want for President.
Obama in the first debate lost on points, style, credibility, trust, and knowledge. The second debate Obama won overall, but Romney won (even according to polls) on the economy, which is Americas number 1 issue. (Which is why there was no bounce for Obama and actually Romney continued his surge.) Last night Romney lost on points, and either won or tied on everything else. Most importantly the last debate is when people look to see who do I want as my President, and Romney looked like he was the President, and Obama looked like the Challenger.
I keep getting these ridiculous emails from the DNC...how pathetic! At least they are ADMITTING the race is TIED!!!! My lousy $3 is going to help them win? ROFL!
NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll: Obama 47% - Romney 47%
This race is tied.
Right now, Republican Super PACs are flooding the airwaves with a $40 million dollar ad blitz that they hope will “deliver a knockout blow” to our chances. We can fight their attacks and win this election – but we have to start closing this spending gap TODAY.
We have 9 hours left until our next ad buy deadline: Chip in $3 or more to fight Republican attacks before tonight's ad buy deadline.
LogicRequired,
You say, "Romney looked like the President and Obama looked like the Challenger?"
LOL
In a pig's eye!

One of the most disturbing moments came when moderator Bob Schieffer of CBS News asked: "Would either of you be willing to declare that an attack on Israel is an attack on the United States, which of course is the same promise that we give to our close allies like Japan? And if you made such a declaration, would not that deter Iran? It's certainly deterred the Soviet Union for a long, long time when we made that -- when we made that promise to our allies."
This was a flawed question. The far more important question is: If diplomacy and sanctions and covert operations don't stop Iran from getting the Bomb, would you fully support Israel if Prime Minister Netanyahu feels he has no choice but to order preemptive military strikes on Iran.
Nevertheless, President Obama accepted the premise of the question and replied, "I will stand with Israel if they are attacked." Mr. Obama tried to portray himself as a strong ally of Israel throughout the rest of that answer and the entirety of the evening. But consider his answer more carefully. The President did not say unequivocally that he would stand with Israel in a preemptive strike on Iran, if that were the last option available. Rather, Mr. Obama insisted he would help Israel after Iran attacks the Jewish state. But if Iran attacks Israel with nuclear weapons, it would be too late for American military assistance to do much good. Indeed, it is immoral for an American president to vow to defend Israel only after she has been attacked with nuclear weapons. Yet this is the President's position.
RepublicansForObama-6186389, stop comment spamming. Once was enough.
"I can see England from Cape Cod" - Mitt Romney's foreign policy
Obama, the attack on our Consulate in Libya, lasted 7 hours, Why didn't you as CNC, send US forces, from Signorella, Italy. To Libya, to help our Ambassader, Cris Stevens. Why are lying about his death. And the deaths, of three other Americans. Why the cover-up! America has a right to know!
Could be because those troops are 600 MILES AWAY!!
Look, even Condi Rice doesn't believe there's anything to "Benghazigate", yet the Right just continues to get more unhinged about it.
Not that it should come as any surprise.
The GOP election to the highest bidder Super Pacs must be run by cheapskates and they must be outsourcing the calls from China and India.
They're sending out Robocalls targeting democrats and some Robocalls are calling senators communists while other Robocalls are saying the say same Democrat senator is only on the side of Wall Street, big oil, and big insurance.
The only other explaination for this screw up is that they're trying to sway very stupid swing voters.
Well, it's Friday evening. Scarcely a comment in the news about the debates. No high fives in the news how Obama won. No surge for Obama in the polls. Looked like candidate Obama was attacking windmills, while President Rommey watch in amusement.
Gallup, Rasmussen, ABC/WashPost all have Romney ahead in the general election.
All you Repubs grousing about Romney not attacking on the Libya fiasco. Don't you think candidate Obama's team had been brainstorming cute comments. It was funny watching Obama trying to bait Romney.
Just outclassed, outgunned all the way.
My hope is that both parties tell the truth and give the American people a clear choice of policy. Sadly, too many Americans on both sides get caught up in the rhetoric and start blaming each other instead of working with each other for a better America.
GEO-POLITICAL TRUTH: From Russia With Love
MOSCOW -- President Vladimir Putin said in an interview aired Thursday that Russia can work with Mitt Romney if he's elected U.S. president, even though Romney has called Russia the United States' "No. 1 geopolitical foe."
However, Putin also suggested that a Romney presidency would widen the rift over an anti-missile shield the United States is deploying in Europe.
The Russian leader held out hope for an end to the missile defense dispute if Barack Obama is re-elected in November, telling Russia's RT television he was "an honest person who really wants to change much for the better."
OBAMA FLEXABILITY: "AN HONEST PERSON" Vladimir Putan
OLYMPIC GAMES TRUTH BE TOLD
Governor Romney didn't single handedly rescue the Utah Olympic Games.
I kept trying to focus on the debate, but I kept getting distracted by Romney's lips. It looked like he had pink lipstick on them. What is he trying to say to the American people with pink lipstick on his lips? This does not bode well for America and American values. Governor Romney, tear down that pink lipstick on your lips!
Speaking of the Olympics...My average time was faster than the winner of the 1980 gold medalist's was. The usa did boycot the 1980 games. I could not go without the help of the U.S. government.
Jupiter3 the attack on the embassy was blamed on a video that insulter the islamic Prophet Mohamad...check your facts.
Obama beat Romney like he stole something from his mama tonight!
Pigs in lipstick!!!!!
The PIG trying to get credit for the GM bailout! THE PIG!!!!!!
THIS JUST IN:
Romney votes for President Obama because he believes everything that President Obama is doing is already working, and is the correct path for America. Thanks Mitt! We're glad the real Mitt, the one that wants to copy Obama, but claim credit for himself showed up tonight.
Obama/Biden 2102!!!
VOTE A STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET AND VOTE ALL GOP CANDIDATES OUT OF OFFICE!!!
Even the republicons are tweeting ...who is this romney tonight, he is saying he agrees with Obma's policys!!!!
Romney said... "But we can't kill our way out of this mess. We're going to have to put in place a very comprehensive and robust strategy to help the world of Islam and other parts of the world, reject this radical violent extremism, which is certainly not on the run."
.
This is a contradiction of his long sought policy to increase military spending and going after everything that resembles Islam. We can not eradicate Islam as they can not eradicate Islam either. Mr. Romney contradicted himself by presenting two views:
Increase military spending so we do not have to use the alternative and least expensive way to punish outlaw regimes and groups.
But wait we can not shoot our wait out of war! That is way we call it war! Shoot out and kill the bad guy. Even Bush was after Osama and so were we. Obama has followed a robust tactical means of going after radical groups around the world. Better yet he did so in cooperation with nations where the bad apples were found.
.
Obama did not forget that US is a part of the world citizen; not its unilateral colonial power. I do not know any time in history where in a single year so many Arab dictators were removed from power with disgrace. The US involvement was low key while working with allies and was effective.
.
Radical Islam is on the run!! The number of violent acts in countries we presume violent is about just as violent as US disgruntle citizens engaging on a shootout in malls and work place.
Take Somalia for instance. Radical elements are completely surrounded and the US plays low key but with gradual success. It has cost no US lives so far.
.
I think he played very shroud game against radical Islamic groups and history will not deny him that.
Romney looked weak and undecided. Obama clear and focused. Now, who would you trust to be Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces? Even FOX is less than estatic at Mitt's lackluster performance.
Starsailing, republicons! Can't you think of anything more original! Hope and Change, yeah right! After another four years you had better hope you have some change! Although with Obama foodstamps, section 8 housing, Obamacare, and a nice Obamaphone, we will all be nice little drones doing what the Dear Leader wants!
The real issue is what is going to happen here at home.. and since they both agree on foreign policy's great !
I want things at home to be fixed, and they disagree there !
Obamacare has strengthened the healthcare
coverage my military family receives.
Obama for the health of the Vets families.
Re-elected President Obama 2012
Dan, it's not Star's fault. He's reading from a script.
Anyway, given Obama's responses tonight, his plan for the next four years is attack Romney? How is that going to help us?
President Obama clearly won this debate on foreign policy, but I would still award Romney the title of "Miss Congeniality" for his agreement of everything the President is doing, and for the number of times he claimed all he wanted was "World Peace."
CNN, NBC,CBS, ABC are all backing up Obama on the lies and concealing the facts. The independant polls have romney 49% and Obama 42% with some still undecided.
This is typical of the way the talking heads have been during the entire 4 years of the Obama* administration.
Obama* claims to have gotten bin Laden while the true fact is that the Navy Seals have been on this mission for 4 presidencies. GHW Bush, Bill Clinton, GW Bush and Barrack Hussien Obama*. (Clinton got upset on PBS when they asked him why he missed bin laden 3 times). Maybe Monica had something to do with that...Obama* claims credit for other things too, like the sanctions against Iran, and the pull out of Iraq. btw..The terrorists are back in Iraq,with new training camps. In 4 places. Obama* is getting so much protection from the media.
Obama* wins on the false information
Romney wins on true facts.
Obama* is a joke.!!
Sandy, WTF are you talking about? Obama has weakened the health coverage and everything else for the military! I have heard nothing but complaints about the changes that the military and their dependants will have to deal with when Obamacare starts IN 2014! No matter what you say it has not yet started, only the taxation, the reduction in Medicare, and the coming exodus of highly-qualified, underpaid doctors, nurses, and medical professionals! My wife is a nurse and she knows firsthand that there will be a dramatic shortage of medical care the SECOND that Obamacare actually begins!
Obama does not care at all about the military except to use it for his political gain! He is giving the terrorists a time table in which to take back the entire middle east! This will make all of the sacrifices made by our brave military men and women mean NOTHING!
Romney/Ryan 2012.... Return to Sanity!
The President was clearly the winner tonight. Even the GOP pundits are reluctantly admitting it now, although a few are still stumbling for words, mostly like "the President was on attack."
Oh ... so it is okay to call the President a wimp when he is polite and not aggressive, but when he points out Romney's spinning weather vane, then he is "attacking."
GOP Double Standard.
Would those independent polls be FOX News? Certainly not the rest of the country. Even the Repubulicans on other channels said Obama did good when translated into English means Obama kicked Romney's ass.
Romney brings lies wrapped in tinfoil to the party. The guests are too nice to ask him to leave. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tE31Wd7DF4
Hey everybody, stop talking about the attack on the EMBASSY in Benghazi, the Embassy is in Tripoli, it was a Consulate in Benghazi. Consulates are always guarded by local police, not US Marines.
You have no idea when the phone program started, or how it's funded, do you? Not to mention the food stamp program or section 8 housing. I am pretty sure Obama was still a child or had yet to be born when those programs started.
Nothing like being fed what to believe, right? How does it feel? You know, being told what to think.
You also whine about lack of originality and then go right for the worn out Hope and Change comment. If you post didn't lack complete originality, I may have felt sorry for your ignorance.
Instead, you get lumped into the category of being too lazy to research things and will only believe what they are told by people that tell you what you want to hear.
Why anyone chooses to be a low information voter is beyond me.
Iamnotyou.
That independent vote varies from state to state, but in most states Romney is getting the majority. There are some swing states where that number is 58-28 for Romney with a host of undecideds. You can tell which states those are because the democrat sample is higher than the reality, like in Ohio, New Hampshire, Iowa.
Nah americans don't want a clear choice. If they did they would have backed Ron Paul.
I still do.
I dont even live in the USA and I was at my grandson's birthday party tonight but after six of us decided to watch the debate. I really dont know Republican from Democratic policies I just listened to see who had a plan for the next four years, who seemed to be very experienced in foreign affairs and just would make me feel safe if they were going to be the Commander and Chief of the USA. I didnt have to watch it for very long before it was clear to me that if I lived in the US and Romney became President I would have to move to another country. He is so dangerous because he doesnt know what he is talking about. His performance tonight was awful. He was sweating profusely because he didnt know how to answer half or more than half of the questions and he seemed to agree with Obama on just about everything regarding to how he would run the country. I wish they would have gone into foreign policy more because that would have really showed the people how little he knows about being President. Obama on the other hand was calm, cool and collected and decisive in what he said. He stood up to Romney when he needed to and even made a few comical comments to Mitt which I enjoyed also. I hope this changed some people's minds that think Romney is the be all of the end all. And if they still think that they must not have watched the debates or listened to any of his promises. I dont throw the word idiot around loosely but seriously tonight Mitt Romney looked like a complete and utter idiot.
DBAkron,
sorry you are thinking of yesterday's news ...
From Michael Brenner:
Why would this country EVER turn its foreign policy back over to the Bush boys?
No way. No how.
Was Romney having Seizures on this debate, looked like Annie was worried, is Mitt "OK" ???????????
Hahaha. Bad Romney performance=biased liberal media... Mindless Obama insults...Need a new play book Einstein?
starsailing,
Great Point!
...Obama did say that Romney was "all over the map."
Geez, maybe you should adjust the color on your TV. Obama has dark purple lips.
Interesting how he was focused on Romney's lips. A kiss is just a kiss....
Intelligent people understand that there is a difference between attacking Romney and correcting his lies.
A hopeless Romney, who was totally out of his league tonight, used the term attacking because he wanted to drum up sympathy from his followers.
Some of his stupid followers believe he was being attacked because he used the word. That doesn't make the correction an attack.
Intelligent people understand that stated words don't necessarily amount to fact and that only by doing their own homework, researching issues, WATCHING ACTUAL FOOTAGE of ACTUAL SPEECHES can they learn the TRUTH behind the FACT that ROMNEY LIES.
Calling a lie a lie isn't an attack. It's a fact. Get off your lazy sofas and do the homework and you will learn a thing or two.
Unless you have watched: 2016: Obama's America - you are uninformed. You don't know your president, or his "CHANGE". It is not Obama's America, it is OURS. Voting Obama in again, will make it HIS. His ways are not American ways.
We need to keep America just the way the founding father's intended. FREE. The same country our founding father's and all who fought on foreign soil, and died for. Anything less is NOT acceptable.
Renee Renee Renee
Are you serious? You put stock in 2016 Obama's America. You're even more indoctrinated and brainwashed that most Reflublicans. Ever heard of the word propoganda sweetie? Geez get a clue. It's unfortunate that they let people like you vote.
Only silly liberals would think getting endorsed by the KGB-Putin is a good thing. Of course Putin wants Obama to win, if I wanted to walk all over America I wouldn't want Romney either. Obama is weak so Putin knows he can work him like the silly little community organizer he is.
Stop Loss...
I am very well indoctrinated - AND I am NOT a Republican. I just LEARN from my mistakes in 2008. Sadly, some learn and some don't. It appears that you don't.
I guess the same thing could be said for you :) "Clueless, brainwashed, and not well indoctrinated".
Thank goodness there are people like me that have the right to vote.
I LOVE my country the way it USED to be- the last four years have been SO WRONG.
Ambassador Stevens died, and Obama lied. The cover-up, proceeds in earnest!
SHAR270, that OK, if you live in another country! we either beat your AZZZZZZZZZZZ. Or saved it! It does not matter, to the US, one way or another, it's still the same!
Time for popcorn and doritoes?
ISLAM Etch A Sketch Fantasy
Governor Romney has no knowledge of Islam!
Islam is a religion that has no Pope, or Council of Prophets, that can override the actions taken by individuals, bent on interpreting the intent of the founder.
Mitt Romney should see the speck in his own eye, before telling others to remove theirs...
Pass the popcorn.
He is taking credit for things that happened before he was a Governor!!
SHIP AHOY!
President Obama just sunk Mitt Romney's game of battleship...ship count does not define Naval Strength...
"This is not a game of Battleship" President Barack Hussein Obama 10.22.2012
@Jupiter,
Unless you have ever served in the Armed Forces, especially the Navy, you are clueless. The President in this aspect is totally clueless.
Do you have any idea, what happens when we have less ships in the Navy?
Please enlighten us how ship count does not define naval strength!
Tea1959. is there a nation with more ships then us?? that would be no is there a nation with carriers and carrier groups like ours? that would be no.....wtf are u talking about.
Mitt is taking credit for MA being ranked #1 in education. I grew up there in the 1960's; we've always been #1 in education even when Mitt was still wiping his snotty nose. His arithmetic sucks; he wants to give $5 trillion tax cut to the rich and $2 trillion more to defense and reduce the deficit. Even my 10 year old knows that is not possible.
Mitt just finished the debate by declaring he loves teachers (as much as he loves those women in his binders).
I'm not running for POTUS...

big deal...obama is taking credit for killing bin laden...they are ALL liars and obama is the bigger liar
Romney/Ryan 2012
Jupiter sidesteps like Obama* and the media on these issues. the individual ship strength is important as shown in the USS Cole terrorist attack, that was done by a small fast mover filled with explosives.
Jupiter is a puppet poster. might be being paid by the amount of bs he/she posts. Ignore jupiter3.
Romney agrees with Obama on most issues. Has no clear plan other than giving aid to Middle East nations. Certainly not the tough talking chicken hawk he portrays on the stump.
Republicans hate America so much they are angry Bin Laden was killed by TEAM AMERICA!!!
Romney gives aid to Iran...doing business and getting caught breaking sanctions while America and most nations have sanctions on Iran.
Will Romney and the republicans lie? Will a squirrel sh^t from the top of a tree? Romney has to be the biggest liar ever to run for the Presidency in the history of the United states. No one, especially those who will vote for Romney have any idea who, or what Romney really is, or believes. Fact, no one knows if "Willard Mitt Romney" is His real name. A vote for Romney is a vote against the President, and nary a damn thing more. Romney, like lil Bush is simply someones puppet. Talk about a white man hugging a Black man in the name of a debate? Bayonets and Horses! Romney illustrates all the requirements of a magnificent fool.
Romney wants more horses and bayonets!
After he loses the election, Mitt can start his new book. I have a great title for him "One Lie Too Many" or "How To Lose an Election In 90 Minutes"
tonybeeerm, I have a name for the next Obama book, "How to screw a country into oblivion in four years"! He definately won't need a ghost writer to do this one!
CNN poll says Obama won,,,,48% to 40%....and CNN has more repubs in the polll!
PBS said Romney's refusal to be drawn out made it a draw if not an edge to Romeny. Yeah, guys, that whole liberal media thing...pretty much just echo chamber garbage especially when Fox pundits are looking rather non-plussed at Romney performance. Personally, Romney made a classic mistake of beginning many responses with "I agree with the President". That is a weak move even if you do agree. Find a better way to answer. And Romney looked in over his head with a handful of talking points that never came out where needed. He promised a lot of good stuff but as usual gave no details. He was good on his knowledge of Pakistan.
starsailing, Do you really believe a poll from the Communist News Network? Really!!!!! How are the national polls been treating your Dear Leader the last week or so?

Re-elected our Commander-in-Chief Obama 2012
.If you want four more years of B.S. and watching a president go on the talk show circuit,vote for Obama.The current president was taking glamorous vacations with his wife,kids and mother in law while Americans lost their homes due to losing their jobs.He has done nothing about China devaluing their currency so that they can flood the market with cheap goods.He has done nothing in the Middle East except cost American service people their lives and Al Qaida has actually grown stronger in other regions.The Taliban is patiently waiting it out in Pakistan until Americans leave Afghanistan.Romney does have a stronger stance on certain countries.Romney realizes that Latin America is the direction that we as a nation needs to go in the way of trading our goods which will create jobs. Romney/Ryan 2012
According to Obama*'s campaign commercial.."Romney pays 14% in taxes on investments. and a man who makes 50 thousand a year pays more taxes".
14% of 20 million is 2.8 Million Dollars. There is no way that a man making 50 thousand a year pays more than 2.8 million in taxes.
Obama* is such a liar.
I guess that whole percentage of money taken thing is escaping you.
As a percentage, someone making 50K a year pays more in taxes.
Then again, I think you know that. But like the biased media, you spin things to suit your agenda.
Sandy: God bless you and your husband! You make us proud and keep us safe.
I can not deny that our President knows how to speak. I can not deny that Obama is smooth with words and has the ability to slide out of tough spots in a debate and make people melts at his feet on the campain trail.
I will not however fall for smooth talk again as I did in 2008. I now have a record to judge Obama on. We have a dead ambassador and 3 others at the hands of this president needlessly. The blood is on HIS hands. This country is is bad shape economically for lack of direction by this President. We have seen many instances of disregard for our laws by this President. We are now under the thumb of our own government with Obamacare. No way out of that. our President says you WILL do it his way. We have had gridlock for 3 years because this President tels congress "its my way or no way " then blames them.
The only thing I took from this debate was that Obama must have worked with Biden . Every time Romney was pointing out Obamas failures Obama would smile big and bright and interupt then claim "that's not true".
We will soon find out who will be elected. I have made my choice as most of you here have if not all. 4 years from now I will deside if my vote was wrong. If my choice looses the election I may be able to say I told you so. I may have to conceed as well but the record indicates that won't be the case.
Lets just remember obama had no real foriegn affairs experience when he took office. No president does really at this level. Although some things have happened on Obama's clock that are good,they were not done by him as he tries to claim. He says "I" got bin laden. And said " I , Me alone" did that. He is not the God he thinks he is. Iran scares the tar out of me as it should any American today. Presidnet Obama and his VP Biden see Iran as a laughing matter. I am not laughing and in the years ahead no one in the world will be laughing when they reach missle capabilities.
Well, it must be Fall because the nuts are dropping from the trees like snow.
Geez where do you people get your information? Have you been listening to FOX and Rush Limbaugh again? I've warned you repeatedly that partaking of those two particular information sources kills brain cells.
Obama/Biden 2012
Five Times Obama Has Apologized for America
(QUOTES FROM THE “APOLOGY TOUR” THAT NEVER HAPPENED
In his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, Mitt Romney said:
“I will begin my presidency with a jobs tour. President Obama began with an apology tour. America, he said, had dictated to other nations. No Mr. President, America has freed other nations from dictators.”
( Videos of each Obama quote at link below text.)
1. April 3, 2009: Strasbourg, France
“In America, there’s a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.”
2. April 6, 2009: Ankara, Turkey to the Turkish Parliament
“Another issue that confronts all democracies as they move to the future is how we deal with the past. The United States is still working through some of our own darker periods in our history.”
3. April 17, 2009, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, at the Summit of the Americas
“While the United States has done much to promote peace and prosperity in the hemisphere, we have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms.”
4. April 20, 2009: CIA headquarters, Langley, Va.
“Don’t be discouraged that we have to acknowledge potentially we’ve made some mistakes. That’s how we learn.”
5. May 21, 2009: National Archives in Washington D.C.
“Unfortunately, faced with an uncertain threat, our government made a series of hasty decisions. … I also believe that all too often our government made decisions based on fear rather than foresight; that all too often our government trimmed facts and evidence to fit ideological predispositions. Instead of strategically applying our power and our principles, too often we set those principles aside as luxuries that we could no longer afford. And during this season of fear, too many of us — Democrats and Republicans, politicians, journalists, and citizens — fell silent. In other words, we went off course.”

"'You know, kids have good instincts, they look at the other guy and say, 'Well, that's a bullsh-ter, I can tell.'" - B.Obama
Good quote Barry... been hanging around Joe again? Too bad the children have better instincts than the Commander-in-Chief & his sidekick.....
Why won't Mormon's allow non-Mormon's into their temples?
Is it a goofy outfits? Are there piles of gold & silver everywhere? Do people run around in Mormon bullet-proof undies?
What's with the secrecy?
Mainstream religions are not secret like this........
If it looks like a cult, sounds like a cult, smells like a cult........it's a cult
Give them 10 percent, pre-tax, and they'll let you in.
Of course they allow you! FOR A FEE!
Not sure where you get your info unless from personal experience. Don't understand how a church would grow if they don't allow non-church members.
Wouldn't necessarily call them a cult, either. Nonetheless, their teachings are by Biblical definition, false teachings.
Enough said. One's religion is one's personal, private choice.
Sorry Revolution but religion isnt a personal, private choice when you bring it into government and discriminate against other people, believe the world is 6,000 years old and rape cant get you pregnant
Only in America, can you hurt an animal, and go to jail, and rightly so! But in America, a child can be torn, from his Mothers womb. And it's called a CHOICE!
A blob of cells isnt a child
Hey John -
Who did that?
You are, right now, a blob of cells. Does that mean you aren't a person? Talk about slippery slope.
obozo hasnt done a damn thing but ruin this country. it will take years to get out of this mess he and his adminstration has gotten America in. all the lies, covering up, and just plain stupid dealings will be felt for hundred of years. yall talk about what the white man has done. well your so called savior has done more damage than all the other Presidents combined. put that in your little black book. VOTE ROMNEY
How "Rich"to listen to Mitt talk about our "Great ALlies"when he SOILED them whit a 3 day trip that he took.
STUPID IS THE WORD!!!!
Obama isn't going to be happy until he has destroyed this country and he moves back to Kenya.
Obama the great divider, please be quiet....What is Mitt bringing to office?
Because they think we are low forms of life, not quite as good as them.
Obama the great divider: please stay out of adult conversations. thank you
ROMNEY # 4.....who the F&&*(*%%U am I going to be tonight....?
I PROMISE TO SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT TO HEAR!
Any foreign policy expertise this former Governor tries to pretend to have is merely based off several weeks of debate prep by true foreign policy experts who look for anything Obama can be criticized for even if they agreed at the time. It's called Monday morning quarter backing. Most of the time the POTUS has no impact on civil wars or terrorist attacks in other countries. Anyone who believes the man who couldn't remember the name of our countries closest allies leader or even use common sense enough to get past his first foreign stop again to our closest ally leaving headlines of Mitt the Twit shows his foreign expertise when not scripted.
Go back to your basement, the great divider. We adults are talking.
Any time you mention Kenya, birth certificate, transcripts...you just showed your tea ignorance.
@ Risk1
Are you female? Have you been raped? What gives you the right to tell me how to treat my body? How would you like it if you where both those things and had a child who's father the rapist insist on visiting his son/daughter and taking them on weekends but not wanting full custody but doing so just to see you the woman he raped? Why would you want to live 9 months with something growing inside you knowing what was created was not created out of love as God had intended? You are no different than the rapist in my book. You Sir are the monster you reward!
Most media outlets agree that Obama wins hands down. Romney looked weak and undecided. This may well have sealed his fate.
Beachbum, your comments about Romney's religion make you sound like the ignorant foes of another presidential candidate, John F. Kennedy! By making these stupid cracks about a religion that you have never been exposed to, or studied, you make yourself into a true idiot of the highest order! Remember the famous quip, "Sometimes it is better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you a fool then open it and remove all doubt!" At this point there is NO doubt!
I don't like religion of Mormonism but lets leave it out of the debate or analysis of the two candidates and their performance. It has no place here.
As someone said on the NYT site, Mitt sounded like he memorized big chunks of the World Book Encyclopedia, lots of factoids, no depth (due to no real understanding).
...a human embryo is not "a blob of cells".
Watch a babys brain being sucked out during childbirth and you will see what the ultimate child abuse is, and what a murder is.
Does the activity of war fit into your definition of murder?
I watched nearly the entire debate. From what I heard, essentially, Romney mimicked all of Obama's policies. His only disagreements were that he seemed to feel Obama should act and speak tougher - all the hard ass symbolic S**t. Didn't we have enough of the brazen "bring it on" and "mission accomplished" crap from folks in the previous administration; those who talk trash, but leave the dangerous work and fighting to others. If Romney wants tough talk, let him join those at the front lines who bear the consequences. He had achance in the 60's; he opted for the oh so dangerous streets of Paris instead.
Early voting began today in Texas with record number turn-outs; Ohio, Penn., and Florida...time to decide what kind of America you want. Pay attention tonight.
RECORD NUMBERS OF white males...Voting for Romney
REMEBER THAT IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL IT IS OVER
YOU NEED TO GO OUT AND VOTE!!!
Obama/ Bidden 2012
Actually, I was the cream in the Oreo cookie! And all races, pretty much, were represented.
But then I bet you think all Texans ride horses and own ranches:) Hey, we even have concrete roads down here.
Oh yeah, Bigbird, you was right about one thing...Romney!:) Ppl in Texas are fairly intelligent; definitely not stuck on stupid.
Revolution, grew upin Texas and any state supid enough to vote for george Bush for Governor, president and to follow that Frak-up by electing Perry ARE stuck on stupid.
What debate?? Mitt Romney is sttutering and agreeing with everything that Obama is saying!!
Ha ha!! The moron does not have any ideas of his own!!!
I am Republican but will vote for the first time for Obama - Democrat.
I think late Dwight Eisenhouwer is turning in his grave "How little Romney knows on Foreign policy"
Did any of Romney sons fight in the wars in middle east?
Stop sttutering......................
Obama isn't going to be happy until he has destroyed this country and he moves back to Kenya.
Obama uninstall….. ███████████████▒ 99% complete
Republicans just hate America for it's freedom.
It's unlikely Romney could find Libya on a map without his debate preps with true foreign policy experts. If you believe anything that came out of his mouth was anything but a scripted response written for him I've got a bridge to sell you.
hey the great divider, that's a Sikh turban you put on Obama's head. Do you even know the difference between a Sikh and a Hindu? By the way, neither are related to Islam.
CBS poll - Obama wins 53% to Romney 23%. Decisive is an understatement.
Georgepauljohn, I am sorry, but, Republicans and conservatives believe in freedom for everyone, not just for the "victim-of-the-day" that Obama and the left seem to bring up every day! Freedom of opportunity does not equal equality of outcome! Some will win and some will lose. Obama spouts "freedom" and believes that he and the looney left are "free" to do whatever they damn well please to everyone in this country!
Darlene, I am write their my friend. This is the GOP? This babbling, ignorant, job outsourcing, money hiding in Switz. idiot is a presidential candidate. Eisenhower would weep if he watched this idiocy.
irespond.....thx for confirming that blacks voting for obama are all racist too. Finally, one of you admits it.
Darlene from California,I'm female and Republican.I will be voting for Romney as will my sister and all of my female friends.As a self employed person I am sick of the welfare programs that Obama cherishes.Romney aims to cut most of them and get Americans back to work instead of living off of my hard earned money.
Governor
Romoney created millions of jobs in China, and his company Bain Capital is
fixing to send more jobs to China like the company Sensata in Freeport
Illinois, where Americans are losing their jobs. Romoney and Bain Capital just
keeps making China stronger (hence the trade deficit caused by you Romoney). (1)In business he raided pension plans (2) he would put in a small investment and
then borrow huge amount of money in the company’s name (3) then the company
would go bankrupt. (4) Mitten invested in
Chinese oil companies. (5) Romoney is the biggest Flip-flopper in history
agreed with all of the Presidents foreign policies cause he doesn’t have a
foreign policy.

Draper wrote that during a four hour, "invitation only" meeting with
GOP Hate-Propaganda Minister, Frank Luntz, the below listed Senior GOP Law

Steven, you sound like a skipping record! Romney bad...bad...bad...bad....! Obama has done nothing but destroy, piece by piece, the fiber that is the backbone of this country! He hates the 1%, dislikes free enterprise, and believes that destructive taxation is "patriotic"! If something goes wrong it is NEVER his fault... 8% unemployment... Bush! 23 million either out of work or unable to find full time work.... Bush is to blame! Terrorists kill our ambassador and 3 Americans... A 15 minute Youtube video is to blame.
I guess the buck never stops with Obama... But after 4 years of his stupidity a buck is worth one hell of a lot less!
Let me give some of you a hint. The American people aren't anywhere near as stupid as some of you think.
When you use Bain, Romney, & outsourceing in the same sentence, most discriminating people tune the rest of your posts out.
When you use the term's Cult, magic underwear, most discriminating people tune the rest of your posts out.
When you say romney is a tax cheat, most discriminating people tune out the rest of your posts.
When you say romney lied, most discriminating people tune our the rest of your posts.
If they were to use the ignore feature, there would be little left in thousands of pages of posts.
What responses you get to your post to the contrary of what you say are mostly well meaning people who think you simply need enlightenment. When you trash them, they just say, Okay, let's just let the freight train of reality run you over and hope you change your way.
Our country should hang It's head in shame for ever bringing forth the candidacy of Willard Mitt Romney as the potential elected President. Wonder what the GREAT Mr. LINCOLN would have to say about such? Romney is nothing short of a Gwaddamn national shame.
Damnit! Right in the middle of game seven.
Gen Wesley Clark another far left liberal nut who got his stars sitting on his duff behind a desk is another idiot who will not face the facts! Obama and his team screwed up and needed to come out and tell the truth instead of trying to spin it!
Clark never did show me much because he went up the ranks because of his suckup to others! He is just like most far left liberal nuts, he is an idiot who thinks he has all the answers but doesn't. We need leaders and he is not one of them as well as his mentor Obama!
Would that be like that great hero Ollie North? lied and betrayed his countryflew a desk and wasn't even wearing a uniform until he had to start showing up in court. Wasn't one of those medals for baket weaving and how to use a compass? Of course this criminal was quickly picked up by Faux News. Motto for Newscorp," You decide and we know it because we listened in on your phone calls."
Mitt Romney is getting his A*** kicked already!
Mitt thinks that his three day trip abroad makes him a foreign policy expert lol
If you believe Europe is the economy we should copy vote for Obama. If you do not believe Europe is the economy we should copy vote for Romney. It is as simple as that. Europe is a complete socialist failure. America was not a failure until we started moving more toward a European style government and economy. How people can not see that Europe is failing due to its huge entitlement programs that are not sustainable is amazing. We should be going the opposite way of Europe, yet we have a President who thinks we should copy their every move.
I served under General Clark while stationed in Panama. He leads by example, not just lip service. He is in his 60's and he can still kick your a$$ any time, Rick.
Gen Clark has always been a moderate, he never made his political affiliation public while he served in the military. His intelligence and his moderate approach to being a leader is what made him a great general.
Right George, and Obama thinks that failing at it for four years makes him an expert.
Americans don't need 4 more years of misery and high unemployment. Vote all these clowns out.
What is the most disappointing about Romney is NOT his religion (I have LDS friends and like most people, they are a great caring lot), it's not the fact that he is republican, I was until Bush 41. It's the fact that he talks about going to war and spending trillions that could be spent on making US better. It's the fact that he says whatever he thinks the audience at the time wants to hear. It's the fact that he is SO pro business that it's scary (The rights of corporations outweigh the rights of the individual). It's the fact that he'll never send his children or grandchildren to fight in the middle east, but because I'm NOT a millionaire, my children may have to go.
But mostly, he always talks about going backwards. Well, unless he really does have some kind of magical powers, we as a nation are who we are RIGHT NOW. The kind of divisiveness that Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and like spew has to end at some point. Romney is a continuation of this hate anything NOT like us belief.
We, as citizens, have to become better informed and start caring about our country at the local, state and of course the federal level.
Understand what your state and congressional representatives are up to! VOTE!
I think for the next election the advertising companies should make really good commercials just like they do for the Super Bowl. Only Rule- No Political Commercials. That would be cool!!!!
Yes, that would be funny. But, if you can find humor in extraordinary bs, political ads are pretty much the same. They've been telling us Romney cares and that Obama has been a good president......that's good humor.
So what did Obama mean when he told the Russian president, “I’ll have more flexibility after the election”?
What did you mean by that Mr. Transparency?

That blog is probably one of the same ones that Myth and Lyin Ryan tout that says his economic plan will work.
and yall think obozo cares about you. LMAO
Listen to Mitt Romney's plan: IT BULLS***t
hE KEEPS ON TALKING bs AND DOES NOT LET ANYBODY ELSE A WORD!
Yes! Mr. President! Tell Mitt Rormney that increasing the military is CRAP!!!!
JUST-D-bs. Investment in America is never a waste. A failure in science still teaches. When gemini capsule burned up at the launch pad, people like you wanted to end the space program. When columbia blew up, people like you wanted to end the space program. people like you also didn't like that newfangled invention called the automobile or the television. if it where up to people like you, we would all be back in the stone age.
I rather invest in American companies than invest in China (and bank accounts in Switzerland and Cayman Islands).
All my money are right here, either in government bond or in American bank accounts. Some companies will fail and some will prosper, that is just the nature of capitalism. You can't blame all the companies that failed on the President and not give him credit for all the industries that he has saved. He saved our economy from falling into the Greatest Depression, that is the bottom line. Mitt would have let Detroit go bankrupt and file chapter 11 on USA.
irespond sounds like a sore loser tonight......can't wait for November....
lonesome george,Obama should have let us go into a depression as we would have recovered already.The best and brightest economists in our country has also stated this fact.If my small business fails the government won't bail me out and they shouldn't bail me out.He used future generations's tax dollars to bail out companies.The U.S. should not be in business of investing in business.They are supposed to govern this country.
irespond is just like Obama, he avoids answering the Russia question too.
This one is serious ideflect. The Russia comment needs to be explained and you should want the answer too. What is Obama not telling us? This issue is one that should be shared by supporters of both candidates. Or, are you so biased you can't see the the problem with his comments to Putin?
The Democrats are getting Desperate, They are even using fake, fake names like "RepublicansforObama"who is really a democrat. what a joke they are. And when they do not have anything meaningful to say, they just start calling people names.
You are worse than Obama* with your lies, "it is not a tax" and, "if you have a business, you did not do that, Someone else made that happen".
There are no bad students, only bad teachers...and you all have been drinking too much koolaid.
Big bird you are as stupid as you look.
When you go to vote, remember...BENGHAZI.
Remember the lives lost in Benghazi and WHY.
Is this the leadership the AMERICAN people want.
Romney/Ryan 2012
lets see if Myth can beat his own record for lies set in a debate.
DO YOU THINK THAT WE ARE not GOING TO ANOTHER war WITH THE GOP????
17 of the 24 "advisors"of Mitt Romnney are FORMER ADVISORS OF GEORGE W. BUSH
ROMNEY DID NOT EVEN MENTION THE AFGHANSITAN WAR right now, but he wants to send us already to Iran, and increase the budget of the military
Condolezza Rice is giving a Speech. CONDOLEZA RICE, THAT HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON IN iraq.
ROMNEY HATES IRAN, JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT. HE IS ABULLY AND HE HAS NO IDEA WHY HE HATES THEM.
Hey, if you love Iran go live there.
No, ignorant Republican. I do not love Iran. I do not want to use my Medicaid and Social Security money to buy weapons to kill them. They have not done anything to me, and I NEED MY MONEY, DUMMY
Romney wnts to go to war with Iran because the Koch Bros told him to.
Romney still hasnt told all the lies and cover ups as obozo. dont you wish it would have been your kin over in Bengazi obozo didnt help. thats what i thought-
Obama gave the terrorist (Palestinians) 900 million of your taxpayer dollars...... pathetic.
Who's side is he on?
He says Israel is our closest ally in the region..... If that is how you treat your friends, don't think I want any.....
How many missiles will get lobbed into Israel that Obama subsidized??
There is only one choice, Romney / Ryan........
And Paul Ryan is giving the same amount to oil companies in subsidies. What are you yaping about?
As if the oil companies needed that money!!!
Romney is not standing by with China. He is helping them take jobs from our shores and bringing them to theirs. Romney is a part of the problem. Today Bain is sending jobs to China. Romney is dealing with generalities. Obama is dealing with specifics. Once again, Romney is in the JV league.
Romney is always complaining about Obama's attacks. It is ok for him to attack Obama. Quit whining Romney! Man up!
If Romney had been president this last four years, our only auto plants would have had their headquarters in Korea and Japan. GM would have been dead and Osama Bin Laden would have been alive.
Every nation is trying to gain more power and more influence throughout the world. It is human nature to want to get more power and control. Every other country is trying to increase their power and decrease America’s power. You can not blame them for their actions. They are just looking out for their best interests. It should concern everybody when almost every nation on the planet would like for a Democrat to be president and will actively help them to win elections. These other countries know that a Democrat in power means a weaker United States of America and more chance for them to increase their power. Do you really think these other countries that are both friendly and enemies of the United States want a Democrat in power because they think it will make them less powerful?
Obama received a huge endorsement from Iran's Ahmadinejad while he was in the United States for the United Nations. That should scare all AMERICANS! When you have a crazy man like Ahmadinejad who states he does not want to make certain comments because that could affect the American election, that is HUGE! Do we really want a president that Ahmadinejad hopes wins the election. Obviously Ahmadinejad knows that Iran gets stronger if Obama is a president and Iran gets weaker if Romney is president. Easy choice to vote for Romney over a current president that is backed by a tyrant.
The president said it best. "You said you would do everything my administration is doing, you would just shout louder."
Romney made a pretty good Jerry Mahoney, including the wooden head.
Up until tonight, Romney has been the hawk. Now he offers the olive branch while wanting to build a navy the admirals don't want.
Irespond,Well your medicare is going to fund Obamacare which means it will finance those with no insurance.It's always wise to pick your battles and the Medicare issue that you hold in high regard will be restored under Romney.
Is it possible that ideflect is just a republican acting like a nut case liberal to give liberals a worse image? God, I would hope so, because no one should be this blind to reason. Maybe they're just drunk????
Just a cleaning lady... why don't you stick to something you're good at? Political punditness just ain't it. I'm sure you can clean a toilet at the same time listen to Lush Rimballs spew his ilk and memorize every word of it. Could you please wipe off the golden lavoratory fixtures better next time? Your rich master doesn't like spots on it!
Obama has a lot of baggage from selling Weapons to the Mexican Cartels in Mexico and using Executive privilege to cover it, To His Latest lying over the Ambassdors Death.
Oh puhleeze - that is so stupid.
So what's wrong with sitting with other Presidents of the WORLD? ROMNEY IS CRITICIZING THE PRESIDENT FOR BEING CIVIL.
Mitt Romney wants to be the "ugly American" HE CERTAINLY IS!!!
STRENGTH IS NOT THE SAME AS bully!!!!
Obamacare is leading to more part-time jobs. This policy that was jammed down our throats really forces the job creators to hire part time workers. Your company does not get taxed for part-time workers. A nation of part-time workers is not what we need. Every person that is working a job that is not essential should be worried about being moved to a part-time worker due to Obamacare. If you are not worried you are simply not informed. If you vote for Obama and you get laid off or moved to part-time you have nobody to blame buy yourself. Every business has to play by the rules of the game. The rules of the game now just forced every business to consider hiring part-time workers rather than full-time workers.
Under Obamacare for a family of four (50 yearold) making $93,700, if you get a raise of 1% to $93,934 ($234) you actually just got a pay decrease of $7,723 due to Obamacare. Please employer, don't give me a raise! Did you ever think you would ask that in America!?
Democrats have controlled congress since 2006. Congress has much more power than 1 singe President. This economic downturn can not be blamed on Bush as he could not do anything the last two years of his presidency.
pity? may i suggest a math class and maybe some research before you spout off lies? Or maybe you should just stay out of adult conversations until you are prepared.
Pitythefool,Your comments are accurate.It's too bad the Obama supporters can't see how he has ruined the future of American workers with his Obamacare.The baby boomers are not happy with Medicare being used for his new socialistic program. Thank you Pitythe fool for being a person who is intelligent enough to see what the shambles the jobs market is in due to Obamacare.
If stupid = true, then you are correct beachbum. You may not like it, but those are both true statements about Obama.
Pity....you should argue with accurate facts. Your assumptions on employment taxes and your inaccurate math regarding effective tax rates are both incorrect. Sorry. The argument should be what Romney has been saying. Reduced taxes on private sector job creators will result in more jobs. 44% effective rates are not American and unproductive.
After how the President lied to the American people about the events that led up to Ambassador Stevens death, he had the nerve to lie to Ambassador Stevens mother. She was on the radio a few days ago talking about how Obama and Panetta lied to her. Vote all these clowns out. This has to be the worst administration we have ever had.

This is how many “Mormons Do Business" - pretty similar to how Scientologist's do business. Lie, cheat, - say whatever it takes to win (with a clear conscience). Hmmm - sounds familiar.
Mormon business people are like post Civil War Carpetbaggers....
Dont forget how Robme "saved" the Olympics from sleazebag fellow mormons with a huge federal bailout.
How much more do we have to "strenght" our military? He keeps on repeating this BS all over again. We already have a strong military. WE NEED HEALTH CARE FOR THE PEOPLE MORON!!!
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR ALL THESE "WONDERFUL PLANES THAT COST 1 BILLION DOLLARS EACH?????"
Obama isn't going to be happy until he has destroyed this country and he moves back to Kenya.
PLEASE LEAVE AND DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE BUTT!
Romney says he loves teachers. On any number of occasions, he has professed disdain for teachers.
He wants the 1917 surface navy back, thus giving contracts to his plutocrat buddies for a surface navy that would get blown out of the water in its first serious conflict.
Romney is not an across the aisle kind of guy. He used a record number of vetoes with his state legislature. This man does not deserve to be president, and is a clear and present danger.
True Leader:
' You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.' ---Abraham Lincoln---
Failed Leader:
' You can ONLY help the poor by destroying the rich. You can ONLY strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You can ONLY bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You can ONLY lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You can ONLY further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You can ONLY build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You can ONLY help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.' --- Barack Obama---
Obama doesn't want to destroy the rich. He wants to retutn to Clinton's policies, which was good for the entire economy. What worked then will work now. Romney would pass a tax policy that would stick the bill to the middle class and even poor. The wealthy would not pay any more than they are now in taxes. So far the wealthy haven't helped the rest of us out. They want no rules and to break unions, and to see to it that they pay ever less in taxes, while we pay ever more while the deficit is continuing to rise to pay for an obsolete Romney navy.
The 1940-60's were the most prosperous years in this country's history wth significant wealth, lots of rich people and a WICKED strong middle class. The tax rate on upper incomes and corporations bordered near 90% yet some how we led the world and had little or no debt and provided social safety nets, medicare, and social security. Amazing how all of a sudden we are told that 35% tax rates (which clearly most corporations and wealthy do not pay) are way too high and the economy keeps getting worse and has since the late 70's. Pick at the details all you want...the overall point is accurate and it is obvious now why we have deficits and a weakening and dying middle class.
Instead of paying for security, ideflect would prefer to pay the medical bills for people who don't take of themselves physically, emotionally or financially. That sounds like a plan for success. Let's all get drunk and obese, and then call the Russians names and tell them they're not very nice people.
Attacking a person by what their religeon is, is so moronic..You are clearly some of revrend Wright's followers and, like Obama*, are of the "God Dam America" belief.
That is so Un-American of you all.
we do not tell you that you cannot be socialists or communists like you clearly are.
Obama isn't going to be happy until he has destroyed this country and he moves back to Kenya
You dumb a$$ Romney supporters: Romney wants to spend $2 Trillion dollars on our military and cut our taxes by 20%,one question-Where the hell is all this money suppose to come from ??? Cut education ? Cut out our mortgage interest ? Cut out child care ? Cut out our much needed programs ? Where ???
Obama isn't going to be happy until he has destroyed this country and he moves back to Kenya. Obama is only out for the unions and his wall street campaign donors.
You are late for your KKK meeting!!!! Get off the computer!
Romney talks from both sides of the mouth. He sounds like a complete fool saying things where lacking knowledge. He ought to hide his head in shame to show such display to the American public. It certainly was amusing the debate, better than watching the 3 Stooges show.
God bless America !
Andrew
Maria,The money is going to come from cutting welfare as it should be cut.He wants Medicaid to be run by each state and not the FEDs.If you's listened to the debate you'd know where the money will be coming from.And referring to Romney supporters in the language that you did shows me that you are not educated enough to use grown up debating skills.
KKK references......nice. You know, republicans hate women, babies, air and puppies too. You couldn't include any of them in your KKK comment at the same time? I guess you would have known that if you went to their secret meetings where they plot to take over the country and give it all to white christian males. Shhhhhh, I'll give you the address, but you gotta promise not to tell anyone.
You guys and your lines are getting so exhausting.
The money comes from cutting the multi-billion dollar payments to the muslim brotherhood in iraq, Iran, Lybia, Egypt,Syria,Afghanistan, Pakistan,Qattar, and many other terrorist sponsoring dictatorship countrys. Do you think that is was wise to tell the enemy where our troops will be?and when they will be out. like the Obama* administratin did. all they have to do is wait now and they can re-start terrorist training camps like the ones in Iraq.
You are an idiot. Cutting any benefits like welfare, Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid so that republican billionaires can have more tax cuts is not my idea of what we do in America. We are coming out of a republican recession and we are going to help those struggling to find jobs and helping the country to recover. The one percent owns 40 percent of the nation's wealth. This is the imbalance of the rich to everyone else in America. These rich people have had all the benefits from the Bush administration's eight years. It is time they pay more taxes and we need to get rid of republican Norquist pledgers against revenue for our country.
at...Inthemiddle...Don't say anything, but The Republicans Abolished Slavery, and Passed The Equal Rights Amendment, and Martin Luther King jr. was a republican, and the demoncrats killed him to stop The Equal Pay For Equal Work Act from being passed. The republicans passed it anyway.
Fact checkers are as wrong as wikipedia that is why they are not accepted for college class assignments.

The president certainly has some experience in foreign policy, nothing like leaving our own people to be massacred in Libya with no explanation as to why he sent no help-what a guy...
Mr Romney is promoting more defense and less money spent on the people, he doesn't care about the average guy on the street or the average American families concerns ! We don't need more battleships or more jets or more tanks we don't need A larger Army,Navy or Air force ! What we need is less foreign intervention in countries and less Nation building ! These measures have only led to more wars and this is something this country does not need period ! Mr Romney and mr Ryan have surrounded themselves with the same guys who started all these wars Cheney,Rove,and all the other Neocons who are war mongers !
spoken like someone who wouldnt put his life on the line for his own mother , let alone to protect people of his own nation
dear logic i am an honorable veteran and one who does not believe that wars create anything ! And i will except your forth coming apology ! A PROUD AMERICAN VETERAN !
dear logic i do not feel that you have any right to post on this website as far as i can tell the only thing you have ever served is lunch !
schooldog...let me guess,...you went into the millitary to avoid jail for robbing people at school.
A proud american veteran would know about WWII and why we won, and Vietnam, and why we lost.
WWII were mostly vollenteers who were real patriots. Viet nam was a political war that was lost by politicians like Obama* who has the leakiest administration in history, and passed the largest tax in human history while telling the lie that, "it is not a tax".
Obama* is for not having a secure border and letting anyone enter the USA illegally, including 7 who were on the "no-fly"list and are from Iraq and afghanistan and are being held in an arizona detention facility untill they can be transported to Gitmo.
Showtime baby!
What a load of CRAP is Mitt ROrmney telling!!! Military spending: NAVY SHIPS are old!! We need new ones
He will cut our Health CAre. He said that!!!!!
How about our BRIDGES WHERE WE DRIVE EVERY DAY MR. ROMNEY?
Irespond,Romney's goal is to put the healthcare back into your own little hands to be a responsible person in control of your healthcare.He funded Obamacare with your beloved Medicare.
Mitt is starting out trying to make it looks like he knows what he is talking about.
Mitt is trying to be moderate! He's starting in big trouble.
Mitt does not know how to maintain any kind of dialogue on Foreign Politic. He is a MORON!
All that he knows is: "We need more weapons and kick ass"
The only ass that needs to be kicked is MITT"S
Mitt tried way too hard to look like a moderate but all he can do was stutter and let his nose grow some more. He even declared that he loves teachers. What he meant was he wants to take away teachers pensions and collective bargain, then he'll love them more.
I'll take that in comparison to "More taxes and welfare!"
"Hey United States Government, no legal citizen of the United States whom you work for gives a @!$%# about foreign policy!" Let's take care of our Domestic Policy before you do anything for any other Countries!
Well Mitt sounded more like a liberal Democrat, wanting to help develop programs for foreign countries to build them up while ironically proposing to gut programs here to help American citizens...
And what has Obama done except to increase Food Stamps, Unemployment, Double the National Debt, yea, that is his domestic policys. His foreign policy is to give billions to companies that leave the USA, or go bankrupt within 6 months and take the money overseas. I hope Romney guts Food stamps and give people jobs instead. We would all be better off.
Obama's first response is to give positive answers. Romney is in deep.
Dream on.
Obama uninstall….. ███████████████▒ 99%

During all 3 debates "the
moderators" have allowed Barry Odumbo to bully and talk much longer than
Mitt Romney. Sometimes Mitt Romney has not been allowed to fully respond. In
fact, Odumbo told the moderators when he was going to finish. What's up with
that? Not level playing ground at all
Mitt throws out the "woman word" right off the bat lol
He forgot to bring his binders though.
Anyone ever thought that Iran and North Korea co-developed sub designs, as well as North Korea sold subs to Iran. North Korea was also one of Iran major arms suppliers during their Iran Iraq War. During the Iran/ Iraq war, North Korea supplied Iran with Scud missiles, and helped Iran to set up domestic production of the missiles. North Korea was allegedly selling Syria a nuclear reactor, also the fuel.
North Korea and Iran appear to have co-designed similar tanks – the tanks designs are similar.
Who has nuclear weapons? North Korea. If Iran wanted nuclear weapons they would buy them from N. Korea, or they would enrich the uranium in North Korea. What Romney is saying is nonsense. Iran could have had the technology years ago by going through North Korea.
The race to produce arms is mind-blogging. American sells missiles to Israel, Israel sells the US missiles to China, and China sells to North Korea. Romney is a war monger. Let’s hear Romney chastise Israel for selling Patriot missiles to China or talk tough and pick a fight with North Korea.
yea we saw "Jericho" too dumbazz
You are right, and what has Obama done about it, besides coddling N. Korea. Like Iran, both have progressed during the past 4 years, Not sure if we have another 4 years to spare, with Obama's policys.
Well it looks like the Biden Strategy has gone by the wayside. I didn't see Obama roll his eyes or laugh or even crack a smile during Romeny's opening statement. Maybe he will et serious this time around.
Obama looks nervous. $10.00 says he craps his pants tonight.
Romney is already crapped. I can smell it all the way here!!!
actually Obama kicked Romney's butt. Like usual Romney lies.
Romney kicked his butt, hands down, shows who has more class and more intelligence!
Romney/Ryan 2012
obamas gonna crap his pants when he finds out that the marines still use bayonetts!
Robmey/Lyin' Ryan smell like crap!
Mitt's minimum bet is $10,000. He'll just snicker at your $10.
Are you on drugs or do you just see things in reverse you racist ass hole?
@Kanic, certainly you lack...
Also, it is quite not so perceptive that you're one out the very few who must've not fully comprehended the 3rd debate correctly. I believe Obama was a much more proactive debater especially on foreign affairs, btw, which debate were you watching...was it the one where Kennedy beat Romney perhaps? Well, you need to be more focused on what's happening today, not yesteryears ago...we are just seeing another repeat of yet another Romney defeat. LOL!
OBama/Biden 2012
Romney took him to the woodshed..again..Like obam's dad should have if, he had been around.
His culture does not require a father. It's not missing fathers that are the problem, it's evil white people....you know that.
TDL-Obama looks nervous. $10.00 says he craps his pants tonight.
Can you sent that as two $5.00 bills.
uuhhh...let's see...MNF and the winning game of the NCLS? Who's watching these two dip@!$%#s repeat the same crap over and over?
Lol Mitt say check the website. So he doesn't know personally how to do it
Mitt is a real JOKE....LOL
Actually, people who add "LOL" to everything they type are the joke. Standard Obama supporter.....nothing but name calling.
no it was Bush's falt
The game is not important. 2 years from now the game will not be in anyones mind, affecting how much you are paying in taxes, and deturminding if you have a job or not. I notice it is Democrats that don't like seeing the two together. Is that becasue Obama comes across different, when confronted, by someone? The president kept saying that he will reduce the Debt, and increase teachers, building, by taxing the rich more, the rich do not make enough to pay for just the building he mentioned, for get about more teachers, police, firefighters, and reduceing the Debt. My question is why didn't he do all of it the first 2 years? Or even start to reduce the debt during the 3 or 4th year? He has not intention of reducting the debt, especially when the amounts he wants to reduce it takes 10 years for every year he overspends. So if we get him out of office now we will be paying for his over spending in 40 years, instead of reelecting him and it taking 80 years, under his plan. So not only are our children involved, our great grandchildren are involved, do we want to add are great, great grandchildren to pay for his spending? I hope not.
The President has begun to reduce the debt. It has come down over 200billion since he took office. If you wonder why the debt has not lowered faster, look to George W and the House GOP who got us into two wars and lowered taxes for the entire nation, plus did the big pharmaceutical give away without any way to pay for it all except by borrowing from China. Factor in the extreme damage they did to the economy, and you have the deficit mess that we are in. Thanks to the 2010 election, we are STILL in the grips of those policies. Ending the Iraq war has helped a bit but not enough. Besides, the focus should be on getting the economy moving...not the debt. Increase taxes on the top 1%, get the economy growing, end the Afghan war, and that debt will begin to come down even more!
