    No that would be me doing that. But even they can't make excuses for the poor performance of the President .

    Will this be a game changer ? I think for the 1st time a significant audience got to see Romney without the narrative the Slimes et al have been trying to spin about him. He looked like he belonged on the same stage as the President of the United States. That is one image that the Obots didn't want .

    Yes it's true that they get about 90% funding from underwriting from those evil corporation and billionaire's foundations. All the more reason to eliminate public funding .They don't need it.

    This is fun watching the left spin this today. The DNC patched some clips to show how much of a mean ol' bully Romney was last night...



    I love that last shot of Obama looking like a whipped puppy. Yeah that's going to make him look better.

    P.S. Romney used 47 percent of the time available. O actually had more time, he just did much less with it.

    Can't believe you guys are so excited by LIES!! What Romney said last night isn't what he has been saying all year. Come on guys who believes he will deliver 20% tax cuts across the board and balance the budget off Big Bird?

    Talk about fuzzy math.

    Obamas were lies and were proven to be... Obama got his butt mopped all over the floor and handed back to him... Barry looked like the little punk on the playground that liked to pick on everyone and got caught. He was stammering and stuttering like a fool.

    Barrack really couldn't have avoided the debate... though its obvious he really wished he could have... and looked like he was considering bolting out of the room and making a run for Air Force One the entire night.. He likes to flap his gums and beat his chest... when nobodies around to call him out on it... He's clearly not the master debater his faithful followers claimed he was. If he's not in front of a TelePrompter reading a speech someone else wrote for him... then he's out of his element.

    Every incumbent president but Clinton has lost the first debate since 1976. Some have gone on to win, some have lost. And while your guy won big as you say, his lies and flop flops are all over the place.

    I get you guys are so desperate for even the falsest of hopes after a long hot summer, but celebrate and get back to work, because this may be a great day for you, but tomorrow may not be.

    Enjoy yourselves, while you can.

    President Obama knew EXACTLY what he was doing.

    A quote from the Denver Post that was negative to Obama -- "Like a bull to a matador, Romney time and again turned toward Obama to deliver attacks on the president's job performance...."

    Who almost always comes out ahead, the matador or the bull?

    You see... that would've been a pretty good come back line. Why didn't the President make the connection until yesterday on the campaign trail in front of the echo chamber ?
    The question you should ask is which candidate does Wall Street support ? Why it would be Obama of course . Why ? Because despite his populist rhetoric pitting them against the rest of the world ,he has let the' friends of Angelo' go about their business .In fact ;he lets them write the financial regs ;he populates his treasury dept with their gumbas .
    So who would be a better friend of 'Main Street ? The President who covertly is in Wall Street's back pocket ? Or Romney ;a proven job creator for the middle income worker ?

    Are you implying that any president/senator/congressman is not in Wall Street's back pocket? I think that would be a very wrong assumption.

    I don't make any broad generalizations on the issue. I judge it based on performance. Where are the indictments for the friends of Angelo ?

    Romney is a proven money extractor for himself, and his job creation record shows that helping the middle class is NOT is priority, or his goal. His plan as a candidate that he shrouds in mystery clearly indicates he THINKS if the rich guys had even more money, the middle class would proper from pee on your head economics, while paying for his prosperity.

    How can a supply side capitalist, ignore semand as part of the equation? Even Henry Ford recognized the need to have his workers afford the products they built. He helped create demand and proper to this day. He and his workers. Romney creates nothing for workers,just extracts profit through financial tricks for HIS clients and investors.

    Obama has 5 million jobs created in less than 4 years after the worse mess in a century, and despite the republicans doing nothing but hollering gloom and doom. Indeed had they worked as much as they holler our progress would have been greater.

    Of course you can't admit that, because unless you can blame Obama for being a failure, you would have to admit your own failures to act in the country's behalf. That's a very sad state of affairs you guys have going as you choose political power over the interest of the people you serve, and kiss the boots of Grover, and Karl.

    What a sham ! The recovery under his watch has been weak at best and is underperforming all historic comparisons .
    Quote:

    .Really ? Do you forget 1929 ?
    The fact is that historically a sharp recession is followed by a strong recovery. I contend that is what we would've had if the President hadn't tried his failed "trickle down government " interventions . Talk about being "peed on " ! The Obots do it with a fire hose.

    Hello again, Steve:

    Let me see. Corzine = Democrat. Corzine = Bad. Obama = Democrat. Ergo, Obama = Bad.

    That IS how the right wing brain works, no?

    No, corruption = bad. You really think $1.2 billion dollars of investor money just went missing?
