uhhhh?????
Maybe Paul Krugman could explain that one to me.
OOPSIE! More stupidity!!!
Obama just said that he cut taxes to small businesses 18 times. No you dint. I own a small business. I call bullshit.
MORE STUPID!
If the wealthy just pay a little bit more, we could all live happily ever after. Just a little bit more will close a trillion dollar annual shortfall. Yeah. Right. Paging Paul Krugman. Mr. Krugman, you have a call on line one.
MORE STUPID!!!
Holy effing shit.
Obama is going with the 5 trillion dollar Romney tax cut which has been completely demolished as a lie over the last two weeks...but WAIT! he's doubling down, saying it will be closer to 8 trillion dollars.
FATAL STUPID! (Or it should be.)
Obama is outraged that businesses are allowed to set their own wages. HOW DARE THEY!?!?!
VOTER STUPID. ARRRGGGHH!
Undecided voter asks why Romney reminds her so much of George Bush. Is he Bush? How can he prove he isn't Bush? You're really Bush...aren't you? (Undecided my ass.)
Crowley asks O a question starting with "Mr. President..." and I've noticed myself thinking "Why the hell is Obama standing up? Oh, yeah." twice.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA! Yeah...it's still a horrible horrible dream.
DeletePromises don't help anybody. Results do. O's results have sucked as he just admitted.
ReplyDeleteHeh heh heh. Romney slamming on exactly that point.
DeleteRomney is hammering him.
DeleteReagan created more jobs with a smaller population too.
DeleteWE HAVE A RECORD TO LOOK AT.
DeleteDAMN!!
What ya gonna say to that, O?
Hah! Obama sent back to his seat like a misbehaving schoolboy.
ReplyDeleteLove that slow blink Obama's doing. He knows he's losing.
ReplyDeleteHis blink is a sure sign of when he's lying (fast), pissed (slow).
DeleteFlow across the border is slower because the economy is in the toilet you idiot.
ReplyDeleteWham! Wham! Wham!
ReplyDeleteSo, what was the answer to who refused enhanced security at Bengazi? Never quite got around to answering that did he?
ReplyDeleteHe completely bullshitted away his time on that answer. SO OBVIOUS he didn't want to answer.
DeleteThen trying to take credit for being responsible. Is he trying to steal Hillary's thunder now, too?
The Bengazi answer was the only one where he had a lot of "uh"s, which would seem to me to show that he really wasn't sure about things, and was therefore lying.
DeleteOn the whole O didn't due too bad for himself. Better than I hoped. Probably the best job any complete failure could do. I don't think it was enough to stop his slide in the polls though. More pandering to the base than you'd expect from an incumbent. In my entirely unbiased (is that code? gonna need a ruling from the judge) opinion Romney crushed him like a bug.
DeleteI'm sure Obama's relieved that they left the foreign policy minefield.
ReplyDeleteI take it back. Here comes his Fast and Furious nightmare.
DeleteThis talk of semi-automatic weapons is complete bullshit.
DeleteSemi-automatic weapons are NOT assault weapons. MANY guns would become illegal if this legislation passed.
DeleteBasically any weapon with a magazine would be illegal. Only single load, single shot weapons would be allowed.
How the fuck did we get to education from Fast and Furious????
DeleteWait, did I blank out for a new question or was that a bizarre segue from guns to education? He must have trained on it and wants to squeeze it in somewhere.
DeleteYeah, Mr. President, the question was about GUNS.
DeleteYou fucking idiot.
Yeah assault weapon is a scare phrase. Doesn't mean anything in the real world but "scary looking". Full auto weapons are already highly restricted.
DeleteI thought the idea that hiring more teachers would mean less gun violence was interesting.
DeleteAnd by interesting I mean WTF?!?!?
I found it really irritating that the moderator had to (surprise!) chose that discussion to cut Romney off.
Wait, I saw that part. Romney brought up education, not Obama. I thought it was well said, too.
DeleteRomney did bring up education, because yes, folks with better educations tend to have better job prospects and be less likely to get involved with crime in general, never mind violent crime. It was Ø who took it too far and somehow equated spending more gov't money to hire more teachers with cutting crime. He stressed the teachers not the education, and that bit isn't true.
DeleteI'm just saying if there was a 'bizarre segue' then you have to blame Romney, cuz, you know, he brought up the topic and that is what a segue is. Obama's response was not a segue. It wasn't even bizarre. Standard Dem meme is to connect education with educators while Reps connect education with students. My response was really at RG.
DeleteOK I was probably distracted and not paying close enough attention at that point. If you say it made sense in context I'll accept your word.
DeleteThanks. I really thought that was about the most adult part of the debate that I saw with the most sense and least nonsense. That was the only reason I commented.
DeleteDamn, I hate it when pols say "folks". It always sounds fake to me.
ReplyDeleteIf you'd announced you were going to blog this you might not have been stuck with just me.
ReplyDeleteTime to walk the dog, more productive than listening to the last two minutes of Odumbo
I did a sort of minutes of the debate with a few comments of my own over at my blog.
DeleteOne of the last exchanges was a bit odd, where Ø was claiming that without gov't putting up the funds for research we won't have the next Apple. I don't recall Steve Jobs getting any fed money, and for that matter, the folks supplying the ISS didn't do that on fed money either. Which is probably why it's working, and why it's affordable.
It's all about the O. For Obama, he really believes that nothing of any import or value happens without government. To think otherwise is to minimize his own importance and we mustn't have that.
DeleteOne of my favorite lines of the night was Romney repeating, "Government doesn't create jobs." Said it a couple of times.
Romney's other BEST line, "We don't have to settle." YEAH, BABY!
Damn straight.
And I would say that government NEVER invests. It has no money of its own to invest. It only steals and then distributes the money for political reasons.
RG, if I had thought I would be live-blogging, I would have put out the word. But I never know what I'm going to be doing with this blog until I am doing it.
ReplyDeletePlan ahead? What's that???
But I did pop over to Twitter. Fast-paced over there.
DeleteI was looking at Twitter but it stopped refreshing. Had Ace's liveblog open but the comments tend to go by faster than I can read.
DeleteOn those 18 tax cuts for small businesses.
ReplyDeleteHere you go.
“The temporary, highly-targeted nature of these, don’t apply to most businesses,” Keating said. “Many are gone, and some were not very useful to the average small business owner.”
The tax increases the president is proposing for those earning more than $250,000 annually trump any cuts on this list, he said.
