Hey, Golly Gee, FITS you told us President Obama has the youth vote locked up. Does that mean he’ll get re-elected? Please say “yes.”
I think young voters are So Gee-Willikers dependable to vote, aren’t they?. Thaank yo so much for your informative report. I have been so scared until you gave us that information. I feel good now.
I heard Romeny is going to close all the colleges and only let us work for minimum wage at McDonalds. But President Obama will give us all ‘Green’ jobs with solar panels and the Volt or helping in the inner-city as a Community Organizer if we volunteer.
…. but you can’t keep the battery charged with solar panels, and a battery charger you can keep in your garage costs $4,000.
Obama’s problem: He’s like the guy who says:
My Class Reunion is next week: so I have to lose 40 pounds and get a job.
HAW! HAW!
Budget Mr President, what freaking budget are you talking about!?! You haven’t had a budget in effect since you took office.
He sort of mumbled, but I think he actually said “budgie”, like the little birds my spinster aunt kept for 55 years.
PS: …and I hated cleaning and changing their damn cages, except for the fact that I earned extra Moon Pies and RC Colas, or Dr Peppers and grilled cheese sandwiches.
BORING…at best…
All Obama has is lies. And sadly for him, he has a record so everybody knows he’s lying…
Do Not see this doing Obama any good or getting him anywhere near where he needs to be.
Not to mention he looked petulent againn, a lot.
Shieffer made it 2 against 1, continually challenging Romney…but Romney made him look worse than Obama looks…
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….this debate is better than ambien and I don’t need a prior authorization from BCBS
Doesnt’ seem like a lot said about Libya. I missed early part.
Wonder if that’s because the released intelligence cables, early ones, contain the language the administration used?
Did our Commander in Chief release classified information in this debate? I mean he went on to tell Romney that we have boats that planes can land on and boats that can go underwater. I hope our enemies don’t get ahold of this information.
you are correct…. a slip of the tongue
People are not really that interested in foreign policy…except they know of the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Libya debacle, slaughter in Syria and a Nuclear Iran…it’s ALL a mess under Obama…
Therefore: Obama looked craping attacking Romney on it…
This was Obama’s worst showing…but the media is bending over trying to say he won, at least on points…he did not…
It’s a Leadership issue. And Romney made that point over and over…and that is fatal to Obama’s chances, because Romeny is RIGHT…and everybody knows it.
BigT – YOU NAILED IT ON THE HEAD==== “LEADERSHIP” (the lack of)
Debate Ends Abruptly as Obama Punches Romney in Face
BOCA RATON (The Borowitz Report) — The third and final Presidential debate ended in dramatic fashion tonight as President Obama punched Republican nominee Mitt Romney in the face, knocking him unconscious before a national television audience.
As Mr. Romney lay motionless on the floor at Lynn University with 35:06 remaining in regulation, moderator Bob Schieffer declared the debate over, calling Mr. Obama’s punch “a clean shot.”
The President’s uncharacteristic explosion of anger came after Mr. Romney repeatedly needled him about going on a global “apology tour” on behalf of the U.S.
As the former Massachusetts Governor continued his harangue, TV viewers witnessed Mr. Obama glaring at his Republican opponent, a vein visibly throbbing on the President’s forehead.
Still, few observers were prepared for the sight of Mr. Obama leaping across the table and cold-cocking Mr. Romney, dropping him to the floor.
Moments later, Vice-President Joe Biden jumped onstage to congratulate Mr. Obama with a jubilant high-five.
“You literally cleaned his clock,” Mr. Biden said. “I only wish I’d done the same thing to that punk Ryan.”
After the debate, the usually mild-mannered Obama was at pains to explain why exactly he had struck Mr. Romney in the face: “I guess I just couldn’t take it any more, and I sort of snapped. It wasn’t optimal. But he was being such a dick.”
Minutes after Mr. Romney was carried out on a stretcher, the debate was declared a victory for Mr. Obama by all the major networks except Fox News, who called it a draw.
I guess the next time my unit draws weapons we’ll have topeave those funny looking knives in the arms room…
“…have to leave…”
I added a few more items to the “Drinking Game”, but missed out on this debate:
OBAMA: “folks” (23 hits last debate)
ROMNEY: “if he points his finger at O” (11 hits last debate)
======
From the original game:
2nd debate: I tallied 30 drinks from Romney and 20 from Obama; I’ll have to carry-over 40 drinks(plus tonight’s count which I will determine tomorrow); maybe I’ll finish them by election day.
In any case, I’ll clear the board the next day – win or lose.
@The Colonel
The President and Your Commander and Chief sir did not say to you have to leave you funny looking knives in the arms rooms sir.
His quote was simply “Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military has changed,” Obama said,
Mr. Romney’s policies are out of date and out of touch. He is throwing anything at the wall hoping it will stick long enough to land the job. He has not held a consistent position in the last decade.
