Obama Plays Offense Against ‘Severely Conservative’ Romney At Hofstra Debate

October 17th, 2012 7:04 am Henry Decker

President Obama dominated the second presidential debate at Hofstra University in Uniondale, Long Island, on Tuesday night by accomplishing what he failed to do in the first: He prevented Romney from pivoting to the center. If “Moderate Mitt” won the debate in Denver, then Obama was determined to make sure that the “severely conservative” version of his opponent would be on display at the Hofstra “town meeting.”

No longer subdued or passive, Obama forcefully dictated the terms of the debate. Each time that Romney attempted to walk back one of the right-wing stances he had adopted during the Republican primaries, the president directly called him out for inconsistency.

When Romney tried a softer tone on immigration, Obama pointed out that he had spent the primaries promising to veto the DREAM Act, promote “self-deportation,” and adopt Arizona’s controversial “show me your papers” law as a model for the nation. When Romney pushed back on this last point, Obama noted correctly that Kansas Republican Kris Kobach — the law’s author — is a top Romney advisor on immigration. “That’s his policy,” Obama said. “And it’s a bad policy.”

Similarly, when the former governor made his pitch to female voters (using an odd anecdote about the “binders full of women” he used to staff his Massachusetts cabinet,) Obama reminded the audience that “when Governor Romney’s campaign was asked about the Lilly Ledbetter bill, whether he supported it? He said, ‘I’ll get back to you.’ And that’s not the kind of advocacy that women need in any economy.”

Then after Romney answered a question on how his policies differ from those of George W. Bush — saying he would be tougher on China, work more aggressivley to expand trade, and avoid budget deficits — Obama dropped the hammer:

You know, there are some things where Governor Romney is different from George Bush. George Bush didn’t propose turning Medicare into a voucher. George Bush embraced comprehensive immigration reform. He didn’t call for self-deportation.

George Bush never suggested that we eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood, so there are differences between Governor Romney and George Bush, but they’re not on economic policy. In some ways, he’s gone to a more extreme place when it comes to social policy. And I think that’s a mistake. That’s not how we’re going to move our economy forward.

President Obama also went out of his way to revive the narrative of Mitt Romney as out-of-touch plutocrat, which had gained traction over the summer. He repeatedly slammed Romney for investing with “outsourcing pioneers,” for only paying an income tax rate of 14 percent, and — in his closing remarks — for Romney’s infamous disparaging of the “47 percent.”

“When he said behind closed doors that 47 percent of the country considered themselves victims who refuse personal responsibility, think about who he was talking about,” Obama said. “Folks on Social Security who’ve worked all their lives. Veterans who’ve sacrificed for this country. Students who are out there trying to hopefully advance their own dreams, but also this country’s dreams. Soldiers who are overseas fighting for us right now. People who are working hard every day, paying payroll tax, gas taxes, but don’t make enough income.”

“And I want to fight for them. That’s what I’ve been doing for the last four years,” the president continued. “Because if they succeed, I believe the country succeeds.”

Obama has ONE plan and that is to move this country forward without congressional republicans who block an agenda. mitt couldn’t possibly elaborate on the deductions cause he has used tax loopholes as an advantage. why does the percentage of top earners always stay the same???no room for advancement when top earners forget who made them who they are. the window of opportunity only stays open if you are born into it. hope mitt enjoys eating crow.

Romney Nor Ryan Will Give No Clear Plan On How They Plan To Do Any Of The Stuff They Keep Trying To Con The American People Into Believing !! It’s All Just More Lies And Flip Flopping As Always!! I Just Seen Matt L. On The Today Show Asks Ryan Three Questions He Flip Flop, Took The Lakeside Route, Tap Danced, And Did Everything Under The Sun But Answer The Question !!! Matt L. Finally Said That’s The Worst Answer I Ever Heard!!! That’s The American Taliban Plan Avoid Giving Answers But Trust Me And Vote For Us We Will Get It Done?????????? We Are Not All Dumb Stupid And Racist Romney And Ryan You Can’t Con The Smart People Of America We ‘re Just Not Buying You Bullshit!!!!

ALLLLAMERICAN

Fern—-it doesn’t matter what Romney tells you or lays out for you or explains to you—-

YOU’RE A LIB!!!!!!!
You don’t listen and You will say its allllllll lies.

And you’re out of your mind saying The American Taliban talking about Romney—-Your talking about your President of the United States that you voted in and still want in to run down our counrty—-HE IS THE TALIBAN.

THE TALIBAN IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!

•You know you’re an Obama LOVER if you think our dismal economy is all the fault of George W. Bush, who left office 45 months ago, and whose average unemployment rate was 6.3% – almost 2 points lower than under his whiz-kid successor.
•You know you’re an Obama LOVER if you think Mitt Romney is a liar – but Obama has told the God’s-honest truth about responsibility for the deaths of our ambassador and three other Americans in Libya, getting the unemployment rate under 7% if we passed his $832-billion stimulus bill, cutting the deficit in half in his first term, his Justice Department having no knowledge of Fast and Furious (the ATF’s gunrunning-to-Mexican-drug-lords operation) prior to February 2011 and that he’d never dream of raising taxes on the middle class. The Supreme Court says the “penalties” under Obamacare are a tax – on guess who?

• You know you’re an Obama LOVER if you think the Muslim Brotherhood is a fraternal order. Their initiation rite is killer.
• • You know you’re an Obama LOVER if you believe Joe Biden’s claim that the intelligence community initially told the administration that our Benghazi consulate was attacked by a spontaneous mob – a spontaneous mob of al-Qaeda fighters armed with AK-47s, rocket-propelled grenades, mortars and gun trucks.
•You know you’re an Obama LOVER if you think the president has done a consummate job of keeping Iran from getting nuclear weapons – by enacting more sanctions (which have never worked before), working with our “allies” China and Russia and refusing to draw a red line which would elicit military action against Tehran– while the mullahs spent the last four years developing fissile material.
•You know you’re an Obama LOVER if you think Barack Hussein has “got Israel’s back.” By having Israel’s back, the president means sending hundreds of millions of dollars to Palestinians committed to Israel’s annihilation, seeking to dictate Israel’s future borders (so as to make the Jewish state impossible to defend), helping the Muslim Brotherhood come to power in Egypt, and telling the former president of France how much he hates Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.

•You know you’re an Obama LOVER if you think Islam really is the religion of peace – and that al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Taliban, Ahmadinejad, the scholars of Cairo’s Al-Azhar University and the imam of Mecca’s Grand Mosque don’t understand their own religion.

•You know you’re an Obama LOVER if you think it doesn’t matter that this president skips more than half of his daily intelligence briefings. After all, he reads the reports at night – or on the golf course.

• You know you’re an Obama LOVER if you think Obama and Biden care about the middle class – instead of looking at them the way Dracula views a blood bank.

• You know you’re an Obama LOVER if you think raising tax rates on businesses, in the weakest economic recovery in history, won’t devastate job creation.

President Obama accomplished his main goals last night, which included rallying the base, challenging Gov. Romney’s claims, defending his record, and providing a high level vision of what he believes is needed to strengthen the economy and maintain our privileged position in the world. I believe he won the debate, not only because the enthusiasm and focus he exhibited, but because of the consistency of his message and the contrast he established with an opponent whose only consistent attribute is the inconsistency of his positions.
With the exception of proposing more tax breaks, the Mitt Romney of the last few weeks is not the same Mitt Romney that talked at the RNC and won the nomination of the Republican Party. His shift to the Center made the debate look like a Democratic primary at times. The Tea Party demands for spending reductions have been replaced by promises to restore MEDICARE savings and restore DoD programs that even the Chiefs of Staff agreed were not necessary. The plan to gut MEDICAID, dismantle MEDICARE and privatize Social Security has been set aside in favor of a resurgence of social programs that would make the most liberal Democrat blush with envy; deregulation is conspicuous by its absence, and just in case the reversal from traditional Republican orthodoxy is not enough, Romney has gone as far as embracing the Arab Spring after months of demonization and ridicule. Heck, he even proposed giving sophisticated weapons and training to Syrian rebels the CIA believes are linked to Al Qaeda. I was disappointed the President did not press him on that issue.
Hopefully there are enough intelligent people out there to realize that a 20% tax reduction across the board, and the subsequent loss of $5T in revenues, cannot be offset by eliminating the dividends and capital gains deductions. According to analysis conducted by the Congressional Budget Office the mortgage, charity, education deductions will have to be eliminated to offset such a drastic loss of revenues. Children love it when they get candy, they are not as appreciative when the dentist has to fix their cavities…
President Obama won the debate, but it was not a grand slam and Democrats would make a huge mistake if they dismiss Mitt Romney’s intelligence and experience. Elections are often decided by the illusions or perceptions the candidates and parties project, rather than substance, and neither Romney nor the GOP are pushovers when it comes to campaigning.
The big issue for me is not so much weather both candidates stretched the truth or omitted relevant information to make a point at times, but the fact that Gov. Romney’s position changes, literally, from day to day. The question that people should ask themselves is which Romney would occupy the Oval Office if he is elected. Will it be the man we heard at the RNC and during the past several months who owes a debt of gratitude to the neocon establishment, or the man who changed his tune when he and GOP strategists concluded a few weeks ago that the GOP message was not selling and the only way to win was to move to the center?

Yes He Did He Nailed Romney On His Lies And Flip Flopping And Like Joe Biden Did To Lying Ryan He Left him No Wiggle Room !!! Then Romney Got Caught telling A Lie That Was Fact Checked Right There On Stage!!! OBAMA WON!!!

How can you be a small business owner and a lib? Isn’t that an oxymoron (sarcasm)? The small business I work for used to be run and owned by a liberal and the company did very well. In 2006 he sold the business because of personal reasons and also because of a down turn in the economy, mind you, I said 2006. I was a hold over for the new owner and he has completely gutted the business and we are not doing so well. We are so small now that we have actually lost business because we can’t accommodate every potential customer. So, the down sizing method hasn’t helped one bit. It may actually prove detrimental.
old_blu

I actually just run this shop for the owner, but he wouldn’t know what was going on in this little shop if he had to, there are only four of us, me and three mechanics, and we are not doing too bad, we make money and so does the owner. (thanks to a good clientele)

WhutHeSaid

I think Obama opened a can of whup-ass on Multiple Mitt, and the last debate only served to make this a bigger win by comparison. President Obama clearly rattled Romney, who began acting like a spoiled CEO outraged at the gall of some underling daring to challenge him.

I believe that the next debate is about foreign policy, so we’ll get a chance to see Obama administer another public spanking on that issue. I can’t wait.
darkagesbegin

It is clear that the Romney that would occupy the white house is the puppet that would be controlled by the people who put him there: the Koch brothers and Karl Rove. It doesn’t matter what he has to say to get himself elected, his policies and positions while in office have already been bought and paid for.
YepThatTell

As usual, Dominick, your points are well spoken and quite clear and correct. Thank you!

I think we Obama supporters will not underestimate Romney – a pathological liar can never be expected to remain true to himself, and the reversals and lies are to be expected.

We need to expose in the media the strong-arm tactics of Romney-supporting employers and major donors like the Koch brothers, who apparently stop at nothing to see their puppet elected – fairly or not.

nobsartist

willard looked and acted like the snake oil salesman that he is. He calls himself a “business man” with 25 years of balancing budgets but if you look at his “business record” it revolves around taking solvent business’s, duping them into buying his crap, bankrupting them and then walking away with the cash.

denny mclain did that and wound up in prison.

how is it willard is running for President instead of running from the law?

by the way willard, where are those pesky tax returns and what are you hiding?

dranyamelknur

You hit the point about the tax returns. He only showed us about the $77,ooo deduction for his dancing horse and his Caymans Islands bank account. He wouldn’t fill us in on the other nine or ten most recent ones. He may have been claiming he lived in Utah and Massachusetts at the same time.
I hope Obama lets the public know next time when Mitt gets to bragging about the Utah Olympics he “saved” how he did it. He went to Washington and registered as a lobbyist. The Bush Administration gave him almost $2 billion to patch up the Utah fiasco. I guess most of us could have put on a good show with that kind of dough.
I read later he has accounts in Australia, Switzerland, Germany, Ireland and the Bahamas too. I also read that he has ten factories in China and has invested in China’s National Oil Company which is going around snapping up oil fields.
My hometown of Freeport, Illinois is losing the factory where my parents, grandfather, uncles, aunts and cousins all worked years ago. They make sensors (It used to be called MicroSwitch) for cars, planes and missiles. Bain forced the workers to train their own Chinese replacement workers. The factory sent some representatives down to the Iowa State Fair to try to talk to Mitt. They were shouted down as communists and again when they tried to speak to him at the RNC they were ignored. Now ,they’ve had write-ups in the NYTimes and on MSNBC. And it’s not over. Mitt’s going to regret he didn’t tell Bain to lay off until after the election. Google BAINPORT and tell others, PLEASE!
I heard President Obama say Mitt is invested in some highly sensitive intelligence gathering company for China and then Mitt has the nerve to complain that China is stealing our intellectual property. He’s shipping our sensitive equipment to them along with jobs of loyal, hardworking Americans who pay taxes so he and his rich buddies can get an easy ride.
Thank you Barack Obama for standing down this sneaky clown.

You’re right Fern, our president is BACK!!!!

What I’m worried about is this: the Mormon church holds all the death records in the nation, because those records are public and they “convert” the dead to Mormonism whether or not people would want it and without permission. And they are highly active politically. This raises the possibility of Mormons stuffing mailed ballots with votes from the beyond. Has nobody else thought of this?

Obama/Biden and a blue, blue Congress Nov. 6th!

I saw one of the deacon of the morman church on tv. He said that there were alot of democratic mormans and he was going to try to make more because Romney’s policies were against morman teachings.
jarheadgene

From his lips to GOD’s ears, even though they don’t believe in the GOD of the Bible, which is unfortunate because there are lots of good(by people’s standards)people in the LDS church.
They do not believe in the Virgin Birth of J.C.
They don’t believe Jesus is GOD in the flesh.
They believe they can achieve godhood themselves on the planet Kolab.
I can go on about the drastic differences….but you get the point.

And we need to ensure he stays- We All Need To Spread the word and ensure he is reelected.

Romney will have us in another war about asfast as G W Bush did. I spent 27+ years in the service and Romney sacres the helloou of me every time he says anythiing about our military. He has no idea what he talking about; he shows about as much knowledge of themilitary as he did about foreign relations when he did his world tour!
one_veteran

Romney bragged abou his time as “a missionary”, he was a missionary to keep his ass out of the draft and Vietnam.

He was a bully in High School, college, as a Governor (Vetoed over 800 bills and was over ridden over 700 times while on his PRIVATE ELEVATOR!) and he tried to bully in both debates, once a bully, always a bully!

Planned Parenthood prevents more abortions than any unit in America.
Free contraceptives to poorest of poor women.
Has Mitt never studied the Bible?

CNN’s survey of registered voters showed Obama topping Romney 46 percent to 39 percent.* CBS News polled undecided voters, but the outcome was largely the same with the president again besting his Republican challenger by 7 points, 37-30. The remaining 33 percent saw the debate as a draw.

LOOK GUYS suddenly the polls are true…AMAZINGLY SHORT MEMORY INSIDE THE BUBBLE.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_KOPKDFAUQPIIRAFI3HEXNMSHLQ Ed

Romney showed during the primaries that HE HATES TO BE CHALLENGED ON ANYTHING! Born to wealth, raised to wealth and getting wealthier through the famous “Old Boy Network”mhe is unacusstomed to being challenged. His attitude is “Do you know who I am?”. Even his body language during the primaries demonstrated that. An is the same way. Remember,”If we give you specifics “you people” will use it against us.

ALLLLAMERICAN

I think you only see what you want to see—

obama was VERY rude every time it was Romney’s turn to speak
obama thought he could interrupt and try to act like the drunken Biden.
He also kept interrupting the moderator when she said time was up
he would just keep going and say just one more second
and keep going and going even though
SHE is a big Lib and is for obama herself.

BUT obama is not used to having to go by the rules—he does whatever he wants
and pushes bill through illegally without getting approved.
or
Pass the bill and then you can read what’s in it.

That pic of Romney says it all. His entire life has been one of privilige and he’s not accustomed to being questioned or challenged as per photo above. I’m so glad that PO highlighted his numerous lies throughout the campaign and the MSM have allowed him to get away with it for the most part. I would hope some of his supporters are now having second thoughts. PO restuck the extreme RW ideology label back on Romney who has been deceiving people into thinking he’s middle of the road moderate Republican. That was a great play and a good shot.

My biggest question is; d id Romney pay the women he appointed to his cabinet less than he paid the men? He claims he reduced his state budget – did he do that by hiring women and paying them less? As if he wsa trying to avoid the answer to the question asked he never said anything about equal pay only that he had appointed women !

elw

You could possibly find that information in the public records. It would be interesting to know.
highpckts

Appointed women to minor positions no less!!
grammyjill

why do you think he wanted the women? cheap labor. He started out with 49% and by the time he left it was down to 25%. alot of them quit on him.

I was the happiest woman on earth last night watching our President engaging himself in a real fight. Gosh! the man is a real fighter. He has his own style that he doesn’t rush into anything. He takes time to analyse, find out what was the cause, act and deliver. To my opinion he is a very, very thoughtful man. We should take him seriously and let him move the country forward in a real mannered way. We deserve such kind of a person.

You know Alllllllllllll it’s really odd the major difference between the “faux ?news?” bubble heads and the rest of the country, when our guy tanked on the first debate we were disappointed and wondered what was happening, but we addmitted he tanked immediately and wanted him to do better next time. Your guy just got his ass handed to him in a hat and it was easy to do just hold him to his own position and don’t let him waffle. Now the ditto heads instead of admitting thier guy tanked and hoping he’ll do better next time are all just claiming he won and ignoring the (God forbid “FACT”) yes fact that he is a complete clown if you hold him to one position. It’s even funnier that the big secret to pinning Mitt down is to just make him stick to his first lie. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO (added OOOs just so you’d get the ref) simple to do when he continually refers to his top ten talking points that have all been debunked multiple times. for instance doubled the deficit??? has gone from 1.2 trill to 1 trill with no help at all from the tea baggers…it’s a matter of public record buddy two clicks on google and boom debunked…all of mitten’s major stump points are two clicks from bullshit and anyone in the world can tell you the truth in just seconds but not your boy mitten. he’s stuck in the same bizzaro world as you…have a nice life.

Betta,
So what if Fern has her own style, I am also an English geek but I find that her odd style makes me slow down and actually read what she writes. There are probably better ways for her to get her point across but THIS IS THE USA and we embrace diversity and if you can’t handle that maybe you should move. For the record I find it difficult to read Fern’s posts but I read them anyway, if you don’t like them don’t read them. There are little arrows on your keyboard that let you scroll right past them…SIMPLE FIX.

As to your grossly underinformed opinions ….well … if you stick your head out of the bubble of lies woven by FAUX news, you will notice that YES WE ARE BETTER OFF than 4 years ago and yes it takes a LOOOOOONG time to clean up after a nincompoop like GWB and WE the people are not going to sit by and let your giant pile of lies elect another yes man.

Not only your grandson but your entire family has sacrificed for the good of the country, and all Americans hold that sacrifice dear. President Obama has developed an effective plan for dealing with countries that have never seen peace except under dictators. It’s not boots on the ground, which Governor Romney and the neo-conservatives on his team want to see more of, in Iran and Syria, for example; but it is drones overhead and special ops teams executing limited, focused, rapid strikes against the enemy, with diplomats–not troops–on the ground. The Obama administration supports the policy of having the militia of a country protect its own borders and citizens, which is the goal in Afghanistan. The next debate on foreign policy is about families, too, as your post so eloquently illustrates.
http://www.facebook.com/maggie.croft.92 Maggie Croft

Carl, how peaceful the world would be if those who want war had to lead the armies in the war and had to put their children in the war. If we start war with Iran, six other countries might go to their aid. Our military would not be big enough to fight them all and we might have to reinstated the draft. Of course, those who want war would find ways to keep thier kids out of it. They should eliminate all the deferments and then see what happens.

CAThinker

AGREE! But I agreed with this concept long before my only child and son enlisted in the Marine Corps last spring. It was his choice and my prayer is that if he is sent into harm’s way that it’s a righteous and justified conflict. I’m convinced that NitMItt doesn’t know what that is or how he would even define it. So far I haven’t seen a Talipublican member have that kind of conscience and responsibility. I still believe the Iraq war was started only to ensure W’s second term… He was deep underwater before that… I sense that if NitMitt is elected president he’s also going to want to be a wartime president – they seem to be the only ones written about in history books… and NitMitt is vain enough to want that… even if for the wrong reason (like W)…

These comments are moronic, juvenile and incredibly strange. But you need to represent those numbers honestly, my friend, which seems to be as absent here as in any republican talking points you’re always running at the mouth about. Firstly, it’s 46/39 Obama/Romney, generally. But that’s not the whole story. Voters believed Romney would do better on the economy while Obama would be better for the middle class; however, the two were tied in one important issue: whether the debate would affect how undecideds and independents will vote. Half said the debate did not make them more likely to vote for either of the two;, but the half were evenly split between them.

Now, I’m not republican lover here, but that is hardly a resounding victory over a guy who, just before the first debate, was viewed as losing this contest in a big way, which is no longer the case. I believe that is the real story: The historic upset caused during presidential debate number one. Romney clearly pulled a Clintonian come-back kid tact that caught the incumbent quite off guard.

What is important, and is the only real measure, ultimately, of how the president fared is did the president put Romney in his place and send him back to his pre-debate losing status, winning over the highly sought after independents and undecideds? Unfortunately for the Obamas, the answer is not even close. That’s the truth, no matter who you like or who you dislike.

I guarantee you that is how the Obamas and even the Romneys are ultimately measuring this. You can believe that team Romney is still feeling very good, notwithstanding the president’s very admirable and able defensive performance. But I’ve always believed that winners usually practice offensive tactics while those who are on the losing side play defensive, for what ever it’s worth…

Now, having said all of that, I do believe, as I have from the very beginning of this race, that the president will be re-elected, only not by nearly as wide of a margin as pre-debates seemed to promise.

This was a better performance. That is because of the nature of the debate itself. It was a meeting where the audience was allowed to participate.

Obama in some cases wasn’t sharp enough on his punches. He has to hit harder, but then he runs the risk of being a bully.

I am looking forward to the 3rd debate. I hope that Obama is prepared for any contingency and be able to think on his feet.

CAThinker

I agree – I’m also looking forward to the next one. NitMitt should be crapping his pants right now – his only real shot at the President on foreign affairs fell flat when he was called out for a lie… I was wondering why the President so smugly said, “Please continue governor…” It’s going to be more of that, and more like that, at the next one. In retrospect, between his 47% video and his premature “press” conference following Benghazi, the guy is sunk – he thought he had a round in the chamber and he used it prematurely, reinforcing how true and important the 47% video really is. Tough to back peddle from words behind closed doors. And NitMitt’s foreign policy is a veritable top 40 of faux pas, starting with the comments about Russia, the insult to the British about the Olympics, the “get tough” on China stance, Israel/Palestine, failure to discriminate his position on Iran from the President’s… ad nauseum…

Romney knows he doesn’t have to worry about the votes of the far right because they would never vote for President Obama. That gives him freedom to scuttle all the promises he made to them and move to the center.

I was very proud of The President last night. He was precise and very direct. He also came
in well prepared to expose the Governor with his lies. Mr. Romney keeps talking about his position as Governor. That is not taking care of the whole country. That’s just one state Being a President has a lot of load to carry and without any cooperation from the Republicans many of the things that would help the middle class they blocked. As far as
the job growth. Many of those people were out of jobs by the end of the Bush presidency.
I have three sons and they are all gainfully employed. They have a trade. That is what the
President is trying do that everyone has the opportunity but needs to get proper education
and without that it has always been difficult to get good employment. The President cannot
fix something that took 8 years to destroy in 4 years. Mr. Romney is making all these
promises. How do we know he can keep them. At least you know what the President has done. He might not have accomplish everything but he tried his very best with two wars
to clean up and all the other mess that the previous President made. He is a genuine person
and cares about our families. God Bless him.

montanabill

The President was up to his usual tricks of calling Romney a liar. The real problem is that when he points the liar finger at Romney, three fingers are pointing back to him. It is okay to define a lie being told, but when you simply spout, “liar”, while using lies and partial truths to back it up, you lose. I don’t think I could find one single segment where the President wasn’t using falsehoods; from his energy ‘success’, to job creation, to ‘saving GM’, to Obamacare, to ‘act of terror’ which should have been more accurately quoted as “no acts of terror”, to his claim of Romney using Arizona’s law as a model, to his tax plan reducing the deficit, et al.
But this is the one which caused me to spit out my popcorn in disbelief:
“And the suggestion that anybody in my team, whether the Secretary of State, our U.N. Ambassador, anybody on my team would play politics or mislead when we’ve lost four of our own, governor, is offensive. That’s not what we do. That’s not what I do as president, that’s not what I do as Commander in Chief.”
In fact, it is what he is still doing! Ohhhh, his nose is so growing!

That was one of the more obviously biased and one sided articles I’ve read in a while, meaning it was not that interesting. I saw the debate personally. And thank God I did. If all I did was read this article, I would have the impression that Obama beat Romney as handily as Romney beat Obama in the first debate, which is obviously not the case; therefore, this article is dishonest on its face and does none of us any damned good! And while I would not consider myself a supporter of the republicans, I detest such obvious, slavish biases from someone who apparently sees themselves as a journalist.

I think a more accurate account of the debate could be summed up by saying that Obama certainly appeared to wake up as the debate progressed and he performed extremely well and admirably, as did Romney. They both delivered attacks that were at times very convincing and penetrating while they also experienced their own respective criticisms from each other, also compelling. I think at the end of the night, Obama was victorious only insofar as he redeemed himself and put up a very able defense. Romney is victorious most especially because he was seen, right up until the first debate, as losing this contest in a very big way, but came out swinging and has not stopped since, which has come off very well for him as reflected in the massive upset that resulted in this once-believed shoe-in for the president.

Given Romney’s disastrous world tour–where he said he’d craft US Policy to appease the right wing of Israel, crowed over Socialist health care as long as it wasn’t American, and managed to insult Britain badly while speaking with the Prime Minister–you have to wonder if he’ll give up the frigging Etch-A-Sketch and just call in sick for this one.

There were several things that Obama did that, I think, won the night for him. (1) The suggestion that Romney would not, as an investor, invest in a plan that had no details about how it was going to work was a very small corner Romney got backed into. (2) The Benghazi “terrorist” falsehood that Candy called Romney on made Romney look like a poorly-prepared high school debater who made a blatantly false statement. Romney’s subsequent stumbling and the fact that Obama and Crowley had to save Romney from himself speaks strongly to Romney’s inability to think on his feet, especially when caught in a lie. (3) Obama’s comment about the size of Obama’s and Romney’s pensions was a classic. These three things (among others), along with Obama’s generally strong demeanor, presented simple but clearly honest images for the folks at home to appreciate. The professor of the first debate was replaced by the knowledgeable expert who, like Bill Clinton, can explain stuff.

DID any one catch the Rupert Murdoch MEAT PUPPET aka Sean Hannity interviewing John Sununu after the debates……They tried to be such spin doctors…..but it was completely laughable. They tried to say in defense of Romney getting caught in his lie about Benghazi that, Obama was speaking about 9-11 2001 as the act of Terror he spoke of on 9-12 2012. HAHA such buffoons.

peteserb

If one analyzes the debate in an unbiased manner, the debate was a draw. However if ideas and substance were analyzed, Romney won. Obama did not put forward one new idea. He merely attacked Romney because Obama has no record to run on. The most glaring fact to come out of the debate was when Obama said “I don’t beleive government makes jobs.” He must have had a change of mind because that’s all he has ever preached. Is this a sign of desperation? many beleive it is.

Have you all heard about the letters sent to employees by the Koch brothers and several other millionaire business owners saying if the right people, Romney and Ryan, weren’t elected there would be layoff and plant shutdowns and gave them a list of people to vote for.
They say they aren’t telling their employees who to vote for just giving them suggestions about the best people for the Country. This is another way of showing that every one knows that Romney and Ryan won’t be elected unless people are threatened with job losses and under handed methods. It seems like to me that the Koch brothers and the others should be charged with voter interfearence (not spelled right) for their threats about jobs.

I was surprised, to see the “snear” on Mrs Romney’s face after the debate when she looked over at the President. She just showed, again, her real attitude toward our President and I say “Go home little girl and grow up, you do not have a clue”. I leave “family” alone, but this was just TOO MUCH OF A HATE SLUR and I call her out for it. Mitt parades her out in her red dress to benefit his image, well teach her some love and she might get some real class…REMEMBER PRETTY IS AS PRETTY DOES…… 4 MORE YEARS OBAMA/BIDEN !!!!!

Did you also notice how after the debate Mrs. Romney didn’t make any effort to talk to the audience members and looked very uncomfortable when someone tried to talk to her. President Obama and Michele went into the audience right away and started conversing and having their pictures taken with them. Big contrast between Michele, who is engaging and warm, and Ann, who is reserved and uncomfortable around “you people”.

Romney looked very much the corporate CEO, who is getting ready for the hostile takeover. He was bullying to the moderator and even to the President, with trying to claim the stage under his own terms, much as the “boss” would do when h’e getting ready to do his hatchet job for the company. Unfortunately for him, the actual President returned last night and would have none of it. He is not one of Mitt’s minions that stand there and take it. Obama learned his lesson fom 2 weeks ago, and couldn’t be “Presidential” and above the fray with the corporate raider who is used to getting his way relatively unchallenged.

Here’s the FACTS. Your messiah can’t run on his record so he resorts to attacks. Classic psychopath.

When your messiah said he lowered taxes on the middle class…THAT was an outright LIE! The middle class will be hit with over $2,500.00+ in MORE taxes on January 1, 2013 to help pay for obamacare. Not to mention the BILLIONS he stole from Medicare to pay for obamacare. Are you ready? You might have to spend food money on the new taxes you will pay. That is…not unless you are getting FOOD STAMPS then your food is free, paid f or by somebody else

He also said that he ended the war in Iraq. This is another LIE. We were kicked OUT of Iraq. YEP, they wanted us out. THAT’S why we’re out of Iraq. Look it up!

Do you know the number of jobs that will be lost if this illegal alien is re-elected? You all better look that up too. I won’t help you do the research that you should be doing for yourselves.

I don’t support Romney and I sure as hell don’t support an illegal in the oval office. BOTH are LIARS and your messiah is the BIGGEST one of them all. We’re talking about a man who lost his law license because he LIED on his application. LIAR, LIAR, LIAR.

And you guys support this known LIAR? Time to put down the kool-aid and pull your heads out.

He said he lowered taxes. You said taxes are going up. Are you stupid or do you not know the difference between “lowered” and “raising”? By the way, taxes may go up but it is because of the traitors that you support.

As far as Iraq goes, if we were “kicked out” why are we still there?

Throughout this campaign, and before it began, you and your wing nut friends have invented and circulated every scurrilous falsehood in the book about the president. You have attacked him as a “Socialist,” “Communist,” “Fascist,” “Nazi,” Muslim,” foreigner and god knows what else. And then some moron like you comes forward and says the president can’t run on his record so he attacks and is a classic psychopath.

First of all, your comment – or more accurately, attack – makes clear you haven’t a clue what the president’s record is, and that all you can do is repeat Faux News talking points.

But we can get more to the point: those who have no facts and are too lazy and stupid to gather them resort to attacks, too. And the “psychopath” charge looks like it fits you better as well.

The biggest difference between Obama and Romney is this: Romney loves America, Obama loves himself! Romney has demonstrated his love and compassion for America through five decades of public service and missionary work. Obama points to his “community organizing in Chicago” (for a very short period, I might add, as he made necessary connections to usurp political power for himself! Ask any urban youth or family from the ghettos of Chicago what Obama “organized” or how he has improved their lives, and they wont’t have an answer or merely point to food stamps. The difference for me is clear, I’d rather vote for someone who loves America… and not a vainglorious power seeker.

Romney obviously cares about money and success, no doubt. But you missed something that’s very interesting and even compelling. This guy is worth roughly 250,000,000. I think we all know that. Now, what’s interesting is that people who are as good as Romney was at his business are all billionaires many times over today. Romney made the decision to turn all of that, which he very could have today, away for public service, which pays nothing compared to what he made. Now, I’m not a Romney supporter, but I do believe that says quite a bit about his genuine desire and dedication to making a difference in this country.

Romney once again destroyed Obozo, and the survey of objective and undecided voters proves it. Even the leftist freak lap dog Wolf Blitzer admitted it when he started to review the internal numbers of the post debate polls. Romney was way more capable and knowledgeable than the typically unprepared and lying snake Obozo. Obozo is just lucky that Romney chose to not chop the snake’s head off in this debate by discussing the real purpose behind the Benghazi cover up — that the Obozo regime has supplied American arms to Al Qaeda in Libya to take down Qadafi, and they are doing the same now in Syria. All the while claiming that Al Qaeda is dead, while exactly the opposite is true. They planned a coordinated attack on our Ambassador and killed him along with 3 other Americans. The truth will come out once the state controlled media realize that they are hitching their horse to an incompetent, narcissist loser like Obozo.

PS- why are you here? willard sent all the jobs to where you are from.

GREAT JOB MR. PRESIDENT, THANKS FOR FIGHTING FOR US.

Does anyone know how Romney would have answered the question on Equal Pay for Women if he had answered? He went off on a tangent saying he had appointed several women to his cabinet when he was elected governor. He also said he reduced the states budget;- – - ANY CHANCE he did that by hiring women and paying them less he paid the men? Could that be why he talked around the question but never answered it?

Romney went on a mission just as his sons did. I guess that counts for them – BUT – I have known a lot of young men who did their missions and also served in the military. It is a personal choice but when a person alleges to be such a strong American and deeply dedicated to the best interests of the nation you would think he and/or his sons might have at least enlisted in a reserve unit.

I like that story about Sargent York. A conscientious objector, he was still awarded the Congressional Medal Of Honor.

willard is a sissy, cowardly draft evader and as they say, “the apple dont fall far from the tree.”

His sons are all cowards too.

Enlistment in the military under the All volunteer concept is a personal decision made by most after a lot of consideration. Many enlist due to a feeling of patriotism, many for a job, today a large percentage for the financial benefits for education. When I enlisted (first time) we were under the draft; I enlisted because I wanted to spend a career in the military inspired by many relatives of World War II and Korea. In my years and years of service I met men and women from all over the country. I met numerous enlisted and officer personnel who had been on missions and I do not recall any offering any reasons for military service different than any other person.

It is a personal decision but I would have to think a person who wants the world to honestly believe they are as patriotic as the Romney family wants us to believe at least one or two of them would have served our country in the military.

Talk is cheap; actions speak with far more credibility! I always liked the saying; Don’t tell me what you can do, show me what you have done!

Obama= Of the People, for the people. Romney= Of the Wealthy, for the Wealthy!

He also lied about the hiring women for his cabinet – IT IS A LIE. I lived in Mass for 7 yrs (before Romney) but my friends stilllive in Mass and They told me it’s a BS what he said in debate. He left the state in debt, raised fees on everything he could and he did NOT RUN FOR 2ND TERM because he knew that HE SCREWED UP. He is a screw ball and will win.

willard seems to leave a trail of lies whereever he goes.

Though second debates don’t have much of an effect on these kinds of things, ty wa fun seeing our President kick that corporatist’s ass… What mateers now is if that ass-kinking can translate into votes for the President and not the corporatist scumbag…

It was also nice to see the moderator put Romney in his miserable, lying, greedy place a little, even if that is cheating a bit… But still, when you’re looking out for the many over the few, you take stands where it fucking counts!!

You know what I think is really odd? Romney keeps refering to “HIS” state like it is something to be proud of…but he is losing “HIS” state by 15 points. So the only people who have actually experienced his leadership are overwhelmingly in favor of someone else. I think the Pres should call him on his BS and ask why the people of MA are just not buying his line of crap. “How is it GOV?? that “Your” state is sooooooo sure they don’t want you to be potus???” I mean 15 points and climbing??? how is that “YOUR” state?

nobsartist

which state is his state? in fact, which country is willards country?

That’s actually a pretty compelling point. But don’t forget that Massachusetts is probably the most liberal, democratic state in the union.

EXPOSED!!!!! That’s what happens when a fool puts his foot in his mouth. Romney went all out in the first debate saying the most ridiculous things and manufacturing statistics, saying what he would do and what he wouldn’t do, not knowing he would have to answer to those things later on if he tried to morph himself to fit what was advantageous to his campaign, and he got EXPOSED. He was caught in mid-morph on China. He was caught in mid-morph on women ( and by the way, Republicans/Tea Party, and Ryan abhor affirmative action, and he correctly described affrimative action when he requested his “binders full of women”. Brilliant). He was caught in mid-morph on the immigration issue (which he revealed how illegal aliens will be forced to self-deport, by deprivation, disadvantage, and discrimination, the same thing they are doing to Africans in America). He was caught in mid-morph on the tax issue, and he was blasted out of the water with the Libya thing. In any debate, you need facts to back up everything you say, and if Romney reveals any of his sources to support anything he says, he and they will get EXPOSED. Watch what will happen Monday. Romney will be called out as a war-monger on the Syrian civil war, which is really a religious war between Islamic factions, and the Israeli/Iranian conflict brewing in the Middle East that Romney says can’t be ignored. Not one of his five sons will go to fight in any of those wars. Our sons and daughters will. His sons and daughters will profiteer off of it as “contractors”, and will siphon billions of tax payer’s dollars from it while the economy crumbles and we suffer. So, Romney got exposed last night, and Monday will be the icing on the cake. Stay tuned. And, VOTE!!!!!!!!!!

The President was on the mark. He was aggressive, animated and had command of the facts. He also didn’t get flustered. When everything is said and done,a big night for the President.

President Obama was born in Hawaii. His mother was an American Citizen who married a Kenyan. In the four years that President Obama went to school in Kenya (there were only four) two of those he attended the St. Francis of Assissi Catholic School and two of those were at a public school that said Christian prayers at the beginning of the school day. His official birth certificat has been put on television and the internet and a certified copy was shown to donald trump. If people are completely wrapped up in a lie, they refuse to see the truth. The ninth commandment says, “Thou shalt not bear false witness.” the Bible also says that if you break one commandment you break them all. Repeating lies is bearing false witness.

President Obama’s religion: He attended the Trinity United Church of Christ (same church John Quincy Adams attended) until he joined Reverend Wright’s Baptist Church in 1988. In 2008 he left that church. The family now worships at Southern Baptist ceremonies at Camp David every week.

I think Obama does not watch MSNBC(Ed, Rachel, Lawrence and Chris), I do watch
them online from the Netherlands. He could have won the first as well had he
seen some of Mitt position changing moments. But Mitt watch Fox and I also watch
fox online. During the first debate he took few lines from fox talking points,
example that he never proposed any tax cut of trillion dollars.

Mitt. You will never be our Prez.

I am still amazed at the Lilly Ledbetter question posed to Romney and his divergence from giving a direct answer to a simple yes or no answer, he swerved to binders. What a klutz.
