Romney wins presidential debate

[giblets]

Romney did well repeating that we need to try something different because what Obama has tried hasn't worked, and Obama didn't have a good response. They are going to have to come up with some strategy or I think Romney will win.

Obama's response was that Romney just wants to try the same things Bush tried and failed with while he wants to try what Clinton tried and succeeded with. Did you watch the debate?

Oh, and for Romney: Shake shake shake!

Obama's response was that Romney just wants to try the same things Bush tried and failed with while he wants to try what Clinton tried and succeeded with. Did you watch the debate?

Yes I watched the debate, and I remember Obama saying that exactly one time, while Romney repeated that we need to try something new several times.

You're ignoring your own argument here. For instance, who are these mythical Republicans you claim the was so desperate to please that he changed his own bill to please? I'm genuinely curious as the general consensus was that it was a desire to get the approval of the Conservative block of Democrats that existed at the time before they decided to die on the hill Obama was charging for that led to the changes you decry. Stop hoping other people save your argument when they still haven't done so.

Paul Ryan discusses the matter in an Uncommon Knowledge interview I believe.

On a primal level, we saw the president reduced to beta-ness, submitting in body language and tone to an alpha dog. He barely even made eye contact with Romney. His behavior was the human equivalent of a tail between one's legs. The human subconscious picks up on these socio-biological cues and it's evident now to the average primal subconscious who our next tribal leader is.

Ann Coulter: Michelle wanted Mitt

Ann Coulter hit President Barack Obama close to home over his performance in Wednesday night’s debate.

“Obama was depressed and looking down,” the conservative commentator said Thursday morning on Fox News’s “Fox and Friends.” “You could see, at the end of that debate, he knew — anniversary or not — Michelle wanted to go home with Mitt.”

Tuesday was the Obamas’ 20th wedding anniversary, a fact both he and GOP nominee Mitt Romney addressed at the opening of the debate.

“There are a lot of points I want to make tonight, but the most important one is that 20 years ago, I became the luckiest man on Earth because Michelle Obama agreed to marry me,” Obama said. “And so, I just want to wish Sweetie, you, Happy Anniversary and let you know that a year from now, we will not be celebrating it in front of 40 million people.”

When his turn to speak arrived, Romney said, “And congratulations to you, Mr. President, on your anniversary. I’m sure this was the most romantic place you could imagine — here with me!”

Obama looked at Romney plenty of times. He looked down when he was writing stuff. "Writing" is a thing where humans are able to store information on sheets of mashed up tree matter. What were you snorting during the debate?

Obama has been accused of being too "professorial" during the debate, which is a problem because most Americans are too stupid for college.

[Tupac Shakur]

"Professorial" is the media's nice way of saying he was long-winded and boring.

[Hauldren Collider]

No, he wasn't "professorial". He meandered and seemed unsure of himself.

EDIT: what Drake said.

[regexcellent]

Obama's entire campaign is based upon saying that Mitt Romney is the devil and ramming attack ads down our throats, so when he doesn't use ridiculous baseless attacks like accusing Romney of murder, he has nothing left. That's why Obama did badly, and it's why he'll continue to do badly unless he starts throwing personal attacks into the debates too.

[Tupac Shakur]

I never understood why the Obama campaign decided to portray Romney as an eeeeevil arch-conservative (which is ridiculous) rather than a craven flip-flopper who will say anything to get elected (which has enough truth in it to be effective).

"Dat guy talks like he's smart or something and he uses them numbers things! He's some sort of fancy pants."

"Dat guy talks like he's smart or something and he uses them numbers things! He's some sort of fancy pants."

It was Romney that was dropping a multitude of numbers and stats, not Obama.

You'll change your tone real quick next week when it's Ryan vs. Biden.
