Re: 3rd Presidential Debate Tonight 9pm EST!!!!

I watched the debate.

In my opinion, whenever there is a debate like this, we each think our candidate "won."

Years ago I heard "whenever there is a debate, the first to lose his temper has lost the debate."

If we go by that criterion, I would say Romney won. Obama had a look of anger on his face, interrupted Romney several times, and attacked him personally.

Someone has said that Barack Obama's objective for the debate tonight was to paint Gov. Romney as out of touch with reality and as a warmonger. He was not successful with that.

No Obama wasn't successful as painting Romney as a warmonger but, Romney was successful as presenting himself to be a masculine Sally Struthers.

Even though technically, there are more bayonets around today than in 1916, President Obama had a great point and demonstrated a firmer grasp on our military forces and foreign affairs in general, when the "foreign affairs debate" happened to drift in that direction.

Obama's performance tonight mirrors Romney's performance in the first debate.

Jermyn, you've got to be kidding! You sound like Juan Williams! I predict that the rise in the polls for Romney, as we have seen this week, will continue. We'll see!

Obama's performance was like a little boy who was unhappy because someone was messing with his toys.... so he'd just take his toys and go home.....or say anything he wanted to say, truth or not, because he knows the main-stream media will not call his hands on it tomorrow.

In this debate, Romney was a level headed, calm, factual, and I might say, "Presidential looking" debater who did not disrespect his opponent like Obama did him. Forgive me for saying it like this but here goes. "Romney was a man of character and Obama was a character!"

Re: 3rd Presidential Debate Tonight 9pm EST!!!!

This was pretty funny:

http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-T...bama-Bin-Laden

Bob Schieffer accidentally said "Obama Bin Laden" during the debate. I thought it was my imagination, but turns out I heard correctly. However, he did slip an "s" in there, making it "Obama's Bin Laden." LOL!!! Trying to cover up his slip.

Re: 3rd Presidential Debate Tonight 9pm EST!!!!

Romney was very weak. He totally failed in not publicly calling out Obama about the high level government cover up in Libya.

Then he shot himself by commenting that the Chinese who run the worlds largest concentration camp want a "free world".

He advocates war against Syria which would continue the flourishing of Al Quida and make life harder for the Christians there.

Any of the other Republicans would have been a better choice.
