[the truth]

Its generally agreed Obama wasnt exactly on fire at the first presidential debate

However, as with the 2008 campaign, he didnt do punch and judy politics and didnt engage in trading insults with mccain. I remember after the first 2 debates, most pundits asked whey didnt obama destroy mccain. why bother? obama let mccain destroy himself.

Its like big brother last year, the outsiders rightly said, all we have to do is sit out here and smoke and stay out of trouble, whilst the insiders destroy themselves. hey presto the outsiders were the top 3 left standing

petty arguments and trading insults reduce everyone

yes romney stared at the president , yes he sounded more aggressive for the viewers and yes he attacked him more, his "I dont have a clue what youre talking about" was a particular low point in this baiting.

obama stood back, employing the usual laid back, methodical, rope a dope counter attacking position. basically he let romney expose himself, now the critics pick outromneys lies and contradictions

today the jobs rate is the lowest since obama came into power. the timing couldnt be better. the stock market is the highest in 9 years too, a factor obama should mention, but must also be careful not to sound like hes a champion of the rich

all this without the american jobs act being passed?

Retail sales are at their highest too since 2009 at $360 billion

For me romney is just about the very rich. hes said so in his own words. he doesnt care about the 47% who he thinks are freeloading scavengers. He also wants spend $2 trillion more on the military, yet doesnt tell anyone why? talk about playing to the far right corporations and weapons brokers. disgusting. knowing the country cannot afford more stupid wars at phenomenal expense in terms of soldiers and finances.

he dismisses obamacare, yet used the same structure in his own home state?

since romney is through his talking points which he trots out on fox news on a daly basis, does he have anything else to say?

I dont even understand why this venture capitalist even wants the top job? do you? is it just another hobby, another feather in his hat, something to boost his ego? he doesnt even care about half the nation, doesnt pay much attention to the bottom 47%, so why doesnt he simply go back to running his companies and playing his mone games?
