I’m gonna go out on a limb here and predict that when they add up the time at the end of this debate, yet again Obama will have been given much more time to speak.
Obama claims he’s going to hire more teachers? During his administration “Teach for America” turned away thousands of young people who wanted to teach in impoverished areas!
Obama’s flunkies need to whisper in his earwig that his looks of incredulity don’t play well on television. The dopey grin and snarky smirk make him look like someone who can’t take his medicine.
Obama’s fond of saying what Romney want, but Obama fails to say what Obama wants. The military budget is based upon what the president says he wants. The president told the military to cut its budget request by 30 percent this year. That’s directly from the Office of Management and Budget, which works for Obama.
Remember when George W was criticized because our military supposedly “didn’t have the equipment they need”? Now, Obama is cutting money from the military…umm.
The military’s budget is bloated because of non-military pork barrel funding that’s shoved into its budget.
Obama’s using the Alinksy technique of deriding his challenger rather than responding directly to the point at hand. Petty. He’s trying to portray Romney as a throwback. It’s childish and petty.
Obama has rejected Israel. He’s be clear about it. Romney’s for Israel. Oh, gawd!! All of the Jews are rolling their eyes over Obama’s double talk! Jews know he’s an Islamic panderist!!
Sanctions don’t work against Iran. The country’s got too great of a land border. Sanctions haven’t worked since 1979. We need to back Israel in striking its nuclear facilities.
Iran isn’t going to give up its nuclear program, Mr. President. You should’ve prevented Akmadinajab from coming into the United States to speak at the U.N. to send them a strong message. You need to block Iran’s communications to show them we’re serious….but you won’t!!
I’m wanting more red meat from Romney. He’s banking on Obama coming off looking petty, while he looks presidential…and he may be right. But, I’m wanting him to put this narcissist on his heals. It would take him off his game.
Notice that every time Obama gets stung, like with the “Apology Tour” comment, he turns his head and smirks? That’s a sign that he’s hurt. Go get him, Mitt!!!
Obama has fallen back on his claiming that Romney’s a liar. What a pathetic strategy. See! He goes after Romney’s investments instead of manning up to his actions!!
Iran is now stronger than ever because of Obama! Get him, Mitt! Wasted four years! Get him, Mitt! The Obama Apology Tour…skipped Israel. Get your tour t-shirts while they last. Come November 6 they’ll be gone!!!
Obama claims that the “apology tour” is a whopper disproved by “every fact checker out there”…don’t know how that can be since I have watched the videos.
Israel, our most important ally in the region….just don’t have time to meet with them because he has to be on Letterman and when Bibi does visit he has to leave by the dumpster door.
America’s longest war has been the so-called War on Poverty, first announced by Democrats and which has cost us trillions in taxes and wealth transfer. Romney aims to end Obama’s bad economy that has perpetuated the War on Poverty that has been dragged out by Democrats.
A prosperous America is a beacon to the world and a world-wide economic engine. Obama’s policies have caused a prolonged national depression that has been felt throughout Europe.
Romney needs to talk about improving economies worldwide, which would slow illegal immigration to the United States and reduce stress on infrastructure and American jobs.
The veterans already get sufficient treatment. The VA is flush with money; they can’t give enough of it away. An RN is not the same as a medic. A medic doesn’t even qualify as an LPN. They don’t have the same level of training. Obama needs to answer why the Fort Hood terrorism is classified as workplace violence if he wants to connect with the troops.
Don’t forget that Romney’s talking from a position of not getting inside national intelligence briefings like Obama. Not that Obama attends any of the national intelligence briefings he’s offered anyway.
Obama omitting the fact that China doesn’t respond to ANY World Trade Organization suits because they don’t recognize the authority of the WTO. The U.S. wins its cases by default…and it’s unenforceable.
Obama has attacked “Governor Romney’s budget” twice…and Romney hasn’t even mentioned that Obama hasn’t had a budget in four years, and that even all the dems vote against his budget proposals.
China’s going into an economic slowdown right now because its over-leveraged with foreign debt and its markets are saturated. Read “The Economist.” The time’s right to get into a trade war with them. China artificially de-values its currency, too.
Obama is going back to the “you invested overseas” rhetoric. Fact; Obama has given more than $250 million in scientific grants to Chinese post-doctoral candidates and foreign scientists. He’s furthering the U.S. brain drain.
Manolo, the dems have been GIVING technology to China going all the way back to big dem donor Bernie Schwartz and his Loral Electronics GIVING technology to China under the Clinton administration.
Why did Obama shuck off auto parts manufacturers that made parts for GM and Chrysler and send those jobs over to China? Don’t forget that Obama offered to sell of majority shares of both companies before using our tax dollars to prop them up and give the UAW preferred stock shares. Obama tried to sell off U.S auto companies to Fiat and Volvo. Speaking of Volvo, under Obama Volvo bought out U.S.-based Mack trucks!!
I think Mitt took it. Obama came off as petty and avoiding his foreign policy record. Romney got him on the president making us weak overseas. Obama took the low road too many times. Notice that Romney didn’t brink up Obama’s refusal to meet with the Israel PM? Romney was very focused; very presidential. Obama looked like a child.
The CBS analyst is right. Foreign policy is second to the economy. Romney didn’t get dragged into Obama’s petty jabs. He stayed poised. He came off as presidential; he shifted focus to the economy.
I wouldn’t want to play cards with Romney.
He mostly had a killer poker face while o was speaking except for a few times when he looked out at the audience as if to say, “Did you guys get that?”
I wouldn’t want to play cards with Romney.

No kiddin 4/7. Not only did he show a poker face the whole time, but he refused to be drawn into Obama’s tactics, where obviously the president had prepared talking points. Obama even tried to get him into talking about Libya. Romney wouldn’t bite.
My wife is right. Romney agreed with Obama quite a bit. So if they are the same, then foreign policy will stay the same no matter who wins. So the other big topic is the economy. Romney wins every time while the economy is the issue.
I want to point out one important fact: No, Mr. President, we do not have “less…bayonets” than we did in 1916. We have more. That’s because the military has more members on active and reserve duty worldwide than it did in 1916… and it also has more rifles. For every rifle in the U.S. inventory there is an equal number of M-7 bayonets in inventory. Plus, there are the new M-9 bayonets that have been brought into stockpile. The two different types of bayonets have been kept in inventory because they have different utility. For instance, in classical war covered by the Geneva Convention, only the M-7 bayonet can be used. The serrated portion of the M-9 makes it illegal for exclusively use as a bayonet. That is why it is referred to as a wire cutter/bayonet, vice as a bayonet exclusively. Therefore, Mr. President and Commander in Chief, the truth is we have MORE bayonets now.
Romney agreed with the President on the easy stuff…policies that any idiot would agree to.
He disagreed with the president on the hard stuff. Like using diplomacy to project strength to our enemies. Like working closely with Israel and being public about it vice “phone calls”. Like holding China accountable for manipulating the market. Like not bowing to Russia and leaving Eastern European countries high and dry by taking anti-missile batteries away, like showing Russia backbone instead of flexibility after the election.
Post-debate, CNN showed us a life-size replica of the missile that Iran has that will carry a nuclear explosive. I don’t remember anyone on CNN mentioning that the night that Joe Biden repeated over and over that Iran doesn’t have a missile that will carry a nuclear device.
Schieffer asks longest question ever asked by a human…
There just never seems to be a timer ticking when Obama is speaking in these debates…
Romney’s flag lapel pin is Still bigger.
Winner!
Wow, we immediately stopped the massacre in Libya…after everyone was dead. Good job O!
“The Libyans stand with us” – I don’t think that means what he thinks it means.
Where did tanks run over people? I must have missed that.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and predict that when they add up the time at the end of this debate, yet again Obama will have been given much more time to speak.
I wish there was a referee for every time Obama lied. He should be penalized a minute for every lie. That would even out the speaking time.
Have you noticed how obtimal always talks about ‘ending’ the wars and never about ‘winning’ the wars?
Wow…whatever alternative universe Obama lives in sounds like a nice place. Nothing like here.
4of7…exactly
Obama runs against Bush and Cheney again! Still going back to the 2008 bag of tricks. Own your economy and run against your opponent, you coward!
How are we talking about education in the “foreign policy” debate?
Obama claims he’s going to hire more teachers? During his administration “Teach for America” turned away thousands of young people who wanted to teach in impoverished areas!
Is Obama really criticizing Romney’s budget proposals? Obama hasn’t had one passed in four years.
Obama keeps saying his plan will get us back on track, but his plan is the same as the past four years. How does that work?
Schieffer asks Romney a question about funding the military, then won’t let him answer.
Obama’s flunkies need to whisper in his earwig that his looks of incredulity don’t play well on television. The dopey grin and snarky smirk make him look like someone who can’t take his medicine.
Obama’s fond of saying what Romney want, but Obama fails to say what Obama wants. The military budget is based upon what the president says he wants.

Remember when George W was criticized because our military supposedly “didn’t have the equipment they need”? Now, Obama is cutting money from the military…umm.
I’ve yet to see Obama interrupted…yet Schieffer tries to cut off Romney every time he speaks.
Romney’s numbers don’t add up? At least he has numbers Mr. president.
“Our deficit is a major national security concern.”
First honest thing he’s said.
Too bad he didn’t add, “My bad”.
The military’s budget is bloated because of non-military pork barrel funding that’s shoved into its budget.
Obama’s using the Alinksy technique of deriding his challenger rather than responding directly to the point at hand. Petty. He’s trying to portray Romney as a throwback. It’s childish and petty.
So, aircraft carriers are a new technology that’s revolutionized the Navy? Wow.
First time Obama was interrupted, and it was because Schieffer wanted to help him.
Obama has rejected Israel. He’s be clear about it. Romney’s for Israel. Oh, gawd!! All of the Jews are rolling their eyes over Obama’s double talk! Jews know he’s an Islamic panderist!!
A nuclear Iran? But they don’t have a weapon…right? Or was Joe wrong?
Why has Obama permitted Iran to develop nuclear capability? Why didn’t he back Israel on striking their nuclear facility? What a liar Obama is!!!
“Premature military action.” In other words, we should wait until AFTER Israel is attacked.
Iran has the means to weaponize its long range weapons any day now. They can also procure from North Korea, Russian and Pakistan.
Sanctions don’t work against Iran. The country’s got too great of a land border. Sanctions haven’t worked since 1979. We need to back Israel in striking its nuclear facilities.
Iran isn’t going to give up its nuclear program, Mr. President. You should’ve prevented Akmadinajab from coming into the United States to speak at the U.N. to send them a strong message. You need to block Iran’s communications to show them we’re serious….but you won’t!!
I’m wanting more red meat from Romney. He’s banking on Obama coming off looking petty, while he looks presidential…and he may be right. But, I’m wanting him to put this narcissist on his heals. It would take him off his game.
Obama believes in Roosevelt’s “speak softly and carry a big stick” idea. Problem is he is carrying a whiffle ball bat.
The clock is ticking on your presidency, Mr. Obama. Then it’s “Romney Time.”
There we go…finally talking about the apology tour. That’s better.
Notice that every time Obama gets stung, like with the “Apology Tour” comment, he turns his head and smirks? That’s a sign that he’s hurt. Go get him, Mitt!!!
The Army doesn’t use horses or bayonets anymore so why does the Navy need so many ships?
T-Dog…the real problem is that Roosevelt really would fight back…Obama wouldn’t
Obama has fallen back on his claiming that Romney’s a liar. What a pathetic strategy. See! He goes after Romney’s investments instead of manning up to his actions!!
There we go…Obama’s angry and snarky because Romney finally went after him. Game on.
Obama’s been on the attack the entire debate. Romney goes after him once and he’s off his game.
Iran is now stronger than ever because of Obama! Get him, Mitt! Wasted four years! Get him, Mitt! The Obama Apology Tour…skipped Israel. Get your tour t-shirts while they last. Come November 6 they’ll be gone!!!
He had to go to the Holocaust to remind himself of it? Umm…what do you even say to that.
SoB, I know Roosevelt would have fought. Obama would swing the bat with his eyes closed and party he hits something.
Obama claims that the “apology tour” is a whopper disproved by “every fact checker out there”…don’t know how that can be since I have watched the videos.
He went to the Israel holocaust museum, but refused to meet with the leadership of Israel?!! WTF?!!
Obama’s now completely losing his ability to present a cogent thought.
Israel, our most important ally in the region….just don’t have time to meet with them because he has to be on Letterman and when Bibi does visit he has to leave by the dumpster door.
Obama would have Valerie Jarrett answer the phone and then throw Hillary Clinton under the bus!!!
T-Dog…actually, Obama would apologize, not swing the bat, and call for both sides to give up their bats, with the US giving up their bat first.
Good answer on the “bombers overhead’ question, Mitt!
I like when Mitt goes on the attack. Obama can’t handle criticism and loses his cool every time.
Watch Obama’s smirk. Every time Romney hurts him he visibly winces or smiles and looks away.
That’s all Obama’s got? You’ve been all over the map? Again? Really?
Obama is on the defense big time now! Hit him while he’s on the ropes Mitt! Hit him on the ropes!
He’s been all over the map? You mean like what we’ve heard from Obama about what happened in Libya?
Obama’s trying to portray Romney as a flip flopper, but the facts show that he’s not a flip flopper. I think he’s mixing Romney up with Bill Clinton.
Where exactly is Pokiston?
Funny how every time he mentions getting Bin Laden he leaves out the bit about passing on the first two chances he had to “pull the trigger.”
21:02 – Finally got around to mentioning ‘getting Ben Lauden’.
These little stories don’t make someone look presidential. It’s pandering in the form of folksy goodness.
Wow, he made an “unpopular” decision to kill bin Laden? OMG
Mitt, you’re a Republican. Of course you don’t get a chance to respond.
America’s longest war has been the so-called War on Poverty, first announced by Democrats and which has cost us trillions in taxes and wealth transfer. Romney aims to end Obama’s bad economy that has perpetuated the War on Poverty that has been dragged out by Democrats.
Obama rocking in his chair. Such a child.
A prosperous America is a beacon to the world and a world-wide economic engine. Obama’s policies have caused a prolonged national depression that has been felt throughout Europe.
Is Pokiston located anywhere near Pakistan?
Romney needs to talk about improving economies worldwide, which would slow illegal immigration to the United States and reduce stress on infrastructure and American jobs.
“Nation building here at home”? Why didn’t you do any of that in the last four years?
Obama administration got that doctor captured.
The veterans already get sufficient treatment. The VA is flush with money; they can’t give enough of it away. An RN is not the same as a medic. A medic doesn’t even qualify as an LPN. They don’t have the same level of training. Obama needs to answer why the Fort Hood terrorism is classified as workplace violence if he wants to connect with the troops.
ahhhhhahahahahahahahahahaha he just called him Obama bin laden
I haven’t seen a single Obama administration official humping a pack or rifle, or calling for fire on the battlefield.
Don’t forget that Romney’s talking from a position of not getting inside national intelligence briefings like Obama. Not that Obama attends any of the national intelligence briefings he’s offered anyway.
We know Obama’s position because he used drones like they were going out of style.
I’m getting tired of Romney saying what the president is doing is right. Almost nothing Obama is doing is right.
Manola…Obama doesn’t go to intelligence briefings.
Yeah Manoli, Romney is killing this debate with less info than the president.
Romney needs to talk about the spread of Al Qaeda in Africa, Pakistan, Indonesia and the Philippines, all of which happened under Obama.
Why doesn’t Romney bring that up?
Romney doesn’t have enough of a lead to play it safe…and that’s what he’s doing.
Romney needs to hit on the fact that Christians are under attack in Egypt, Indonesia, and Myanmar.
Let’s talk about China. What is the biggest threat to the United States security? …what?
Romney needs to up his game here. Obama is lying about everything and not getting called on any of it.
Obama omitting the fact that China doesn’t respond to ANY World Trade Organization suits because they don’t recognize the authority of the WTO. The U.S. wins its cases by default…and it’s unenforceable.
Obama has attacked “Governor Romney’s budget” twice…and Romney hasn’t even mentioned that Obama hasn’t had a budget in four years, and that even all the dems vote against his budget proposals.
Manolo…exactly
China’s going into an economic slowdown right now because its over-leveraged with foreign debt and its markets are saturated. Read “The Economist.” The time’s right to get into a trade war with them. China artificially de-values its currency, too.
Romney’s strategy is clearly to look presidential. He’s going way too soft here.
Bingo!!!
China also steals a tremendous amount of business, military, and scientific secrets!!!
The shipping jobs overseas lie again?
The private sector has “NEVER” provided enough jobs? What? Did he just say that?
Obama is going back to the “you invested overseas” rhetoric. Fact; Obama has given more than $250 million in scientific grants to Chinese post-doctoral candidates and foreign scientists. He’s furthering the U.S. brain drain.
Romney in debate three is a lot like Obama in debate one.
China is NEVER going to play by free trade rules. It is a communist country.
Manolo, the dems have been GIVING technology to China going all the way back to big dem donor Bernie Schwartz and his Loral Electronics GIVING technology to China under the Clinton administration.
Obama is the height of sillyness
“Let’s check the record” is code for MODERATOR HELP ME HERE Schieffer missed his cue
Finally told the jackass to stop interrupting.
“I’m still speaking!”
Why did Obama shuck off auto parts manufacturers that made parts for GM and Chrysler and send those jobs over to China? Don’t forget that Obama offered to sell of majority shares of both companies before using our tax dollars to prop them up and give the UAW preferred stock shares. Obama tried to sell off U.S auto companies to Fiat and Volvo. Speaking of Volvo, under Obama Volvo bought out U.S.-based Mack trucks!!
Since when is Romney cutting our education budget? He just makes this stuff up as he goes along.
Bam!!! Romney smacks Obama. Obama is seething!!! Bob S. is letting them duke it out on the economy!!! Love it!!
No stories of people in Wisconsin…just keep killing him with facts.
Knock him out, Mitt!! Knock him out!!
Romney didn’t necessarily win this debate, but neither did Obama.
Fail!!!
Obama wants to cut spending? Since when?
It’s going to come down to the closing statements.
“I promise you I will always listen to your voices” like when you all said you didn’t want the stimulus or Obamacare…lol
Obama’s closing statement was poor. He sounded desperate. “Another four years” came off as “Give me a second chance.”
I think Romney took the final statement. He came out and said the magic words, “I’d like to be your next president.”
I think Mitt took it. Obama came off as petty and avoiding his foreign policy record. Romney got him on the president making us weak overseas. Obama took the low road too many times. Notice that Romney didn’t brink up Obama’s refusal to meet with the Israel PM? Romney was very focused; very presidential. Obama looked like a child.
Romney just kicked Obama’s butt. Holy crap. It was like Debate 1 v. 2.0
Please don’t fall off the stage, Mitt!!!
Romney’s whole clan came on stage.
Where are obies clan?
The 2 girls, the half brother, the drunken uncle and the illegal immigrant aunt?
The CBS analyst is right. Foreign policy is second to the economy. Romney didn’t get dragged into Obama’s petty jabs. He stayed poised. He came off as presidential; he shifted focus to the economy.
Line of the night: (paraphrasing) “We won’t show Russia more flexibility after the election. We’ll show them more backbone.”
Obama was real petty. He tried to deride Romney and it offended the viewers.
I wouldn’t want to play cards with Romney.
He mostly had a killer poker face while o was speaking except for a few times when he looked out at the audience as if to say, “Did you guys get that?”

Someone might want to show Obama this link:
http://www.marines.com/operating-forces/equipment/weapons/bayonet
Ok, we’ve got more bayonets, but not nearly enough dinosaurs with rocket launchers.
I just have to say. that poster was a picture I hoped NEVER to see. My eyes, my eyes…………..
What a wonderful thread. Thanks to Son of Bob especially, and Manolo.
I was hoping Romney would look at Obama and say, “you don’t know what bankruptcy means, do you?”
