Obama look like he aged 10 years after his 4-year term. What the US presidency can do to someone. I remember meeting him in the collegiate in CA four years ago and honestly, he looked like a cool late 30s dude. He looks ancient now.


Have you seen the pictures of Abraham Lincoln? Being president durring the US Civil War destroyed him


also, people often serve as president in that period of their lives where they start to begin looking old. fifties to sixties, people start getting real wrinkly.

What did Romney sayyyy that caused the moderator to say something?!?!


He said Obama didn't call it a terrorist attack (the Libya incident). And he wanted to show Obama stated it wrongly at the debate and the moderator corrected Romeny that Obama phrasing was always consistent. Bassically Romney tried to call Obama out and eneded up saying something false.


that's incorrect.

Romney claimed Obama didn't call it a "act of terror" when he meant to say he didn't call it a "terrorist attack". Obama did say the first, but framed as a "tragic moment" type thing instead of an assassination, which is what Romney was trying to get at. Romney just used the wrong words.

Obama has the advantage on this kind of debates. He has the natural open persona about him and he has the Presidential experience to talk to a crowd in this scenario. Romney is apparently off his bowl.

I have no idea what he was thinking. He got too clever for himself.


That couldn't have possibly have gone better for Obama. Mind=blown.

He's saying that an educated populace, or a citizenry that puts school at the top of their priorities, will keep crime down.

Nah, his point is valid (beating the violence culture via improved education), the question is just silly and hard to answer.

Romney's answers regarding his tax policies were disgusting.

This is a completely dishonest man. He says in one sentence he's just reducing rates across the board, then he says he's just reducing taxes for middle income -- he's not going to give the rich tax cuts, oh no, "I counter that with deductions".

But the woman who asked the question named some of those deductions in her question -- things like the Tax Benefits for Education deductions. The woman's question contained more specifics regarding these deductions than Romney's answer!!!

Barack counters by asking Romney, where is the math -- how do you pay for these across-the-board tax cuts, and how are they not a tax cut for the rich? He comes back with more simplistic lies -- I'm just cutting taxes for middle class families. No specifics, just a simple lie.

Republicans really've shown the concept of governance is just a game to them by electing Mitt Romney as their candidate. This is a true do-anything, say-anything SOB. This is a man who can not answer simple questions with any specifics, no matter how hard pressed into doing so. He wants to cut the Estate Tax, and he'll look at all of us and say he isn't planning to cut taxes for the rich. He can not represent his own policies truthfully -- he contradicts himself in a matter of seconds. Most Republicans will admit to their "trickle down" policies, Mitt Romney instead just pretends to be something else. Does this not disgust his own base??? No, they apparently like seeing their policies misrepresented as something almost progressive.

The guy is a true snake who really has appealed to the sound-bite generation in this debate. His whole answer on economic policy was "Don't look at my specifics, just let me tell you I'm not cutting taxes disproportionately for the wealthiest and will somehow pay for the decreased revenue by closing loopholes that don't exist."

A lot of these tax deductions that Romney is going to close aren't even for the wealthy. The tax benefits for education are something completely designed to help the lower and middle class, and those are deductions that Romney has targeted for closing. The lady even mentioned it in her question, and he just completely ignores it and talks about the middle class.

TL;DR
The truth is Romney's tax cuts will benefit the wealthy, and will result in much less revenue for the government, increasing deficits. The few deductions Romney has admitted to targeting for closing are deductions that are useful for all Americans in all tax brackets. Everything Romney said tonight about his tax policies was a complete, total, shameless fucking lie.

What's an assault weapon? No one even knows. But great question! /sarcasm.


Heavy caliber automatic weapon mostly.

Heavy caliber?

Is a semi-auto AR-15 an assault weapon?


The ar-15 is made from the base of an m-16 so yes its an assault rifle. Thats why I said mostly. Basically if they make a barrel mag for it its an assault rifle or something else fucked up.

Mostly ah... So in other words there is no real definition of an assault weapon. But it's a scary term and they LOOK scary so ban them.

Fast & Furious had nothing to do with that question. It was like he was hoping for something tangentially related to start hammering Obama on it.
