For those of us who want to watch and analyze, here is a live thread.
If you feel like not giving Obambi the ratings, no one will fault you. You can check here for notes on gaffes, bs, or other flubs by the Obmessiah.
I watched it. Well produced....but that was to be expected. However, I found myself using my brain during it and asking one question over and over and over...WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR ALL OF THESE HANDOUTS AND FREEBIES?
Answer = I AM/WE ARE

The Disarming Democrats

The Wall Street Journal warns of one clear consequence in electing a Democratic President to match with a Congress controlled by fellow Democrats — disarmament. The WSJ looks at the inconsistencies of both Obama and Joe Biden on defense plans, and warns that the US could be looking at a drastic reduction in military readiness during a time of war:
When it comes to defense, there are two Barack Obamas in this race. There is the candidate who insists, as he did last year in an article in Foreign Affairs, that "a strong military is, more than anything, necessary to sustain peace"; pledges to increase the size of our ground forces by 65,000 soldiers and 27,000 Marines while providing them with "first-rate equipment, armor, incentives and training"; and seems to be as gung-ho for a surge in Afghanistan as he was opposed to the one in Iraq.
And then there is the candidate who early this year recorded an ad for Caucus for Priorities, a far-left outfit that wants to cut 15% of the Pentagon's budget in favor of "education, healthcare, job training, alternative energy development, world hunger [and] deficit reduction."
"Thanks so much for the Caucus for Priorities for the great work you've been doing," says Mr. Obama in the ad, before promising to "cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending . . . slow our development of future combat systems . . . not develop new nuclear weapons."
Joe Biden also cut an ad for the group that was even more emphatic: "I'll tell you what we cannot afford . . . a trillion-dollar commitment to 'Star Wars,' new nuclear weapons, a thousand-ship Navy, the F-22 Raptor."
None of this should surprise anyone, especially after recalling this Obama spot from early in the primaries:

We neglected our military in the 1990s when we didn't have a war to fight, or at least one we acknowledged. That neglect handicapped us in fighting the war on terror, which is still ongoing. Now Obama and the Democrats want to replay the disarmament and neglect of the 1990s in the middle of a war. How exactly will that help make America more secure?
I ..want...some....pie. I’m....feeling......sleepy...I...want.....pie
What’s the Luntz short bus crowd saying?
He should have featured his Aunt who lives in the Boston slums!! TRUST HIM? Oh yeah right! NOT even a scrap or bone to the aunt and brother!
LOL! ;^D
Quick. Snap out of it. Samford and Son, The Jeffersons. 1...2...3, welcome back to the grown ups.
If things were so tough on that UAW worker for Ford (who still has his job), why is he out spending 26.00 on take out food?
Stay home...cook for yourself...pay half the price minus tip.
Also, the woman with 5 kids...ever hear of birth control? She and her husband both put themselves in a position to have that many kids and then tell us the struggles of taking care of them all.
Umm...who the hell told you to have 5 kids?
I see we have an NLP victim here.
That wasn’t a positive message- that was a used car salesman telling you that you should pay more for all the dents in the car he trys to sell you.
This was an attempt to make you feel guilty- America sucks- all of these people are so, so poor..
He has changed the level of poor and suffering to now include people who live in 2 story houses, go out to eat with their family, and drive $40K cars. If you don’t let Obama help these people, you are a bad, bad man.
PIE.... PIE...... WE WANT PIE!!! MORE PIE..... MORE PIE
Under $200,00 a tax break
Over $250,000 tax increase.
Those in the middle, I guess, get left alone. :)
Half the price.. heck, I remember we went though a bad spot when I was a kid and we had several meals on a 50c bag of beans, and we loved it.
How can you help those truly in need when you define everyone in need as even those like the examples Obama gave.
I’m trying to fine tune a message.. y’all can help..
Basically, trying to create an example on how, if you have $10 and 10 people standing in front of you. One person is a starving, homeless vet, the others are average folks. If you help the starving, homeless vet, he can eat several meals, if you try to help everyone, no one can eat a full meal..
I would love to know what people think who live in really bad situations...like Cabrini-Green... think of that infomercial concentrating on white folk who drive around in 30k cars.
If you are a PRODUCER, you will pay. If you are a SPONGE, you will be rewarded and get to collect.
Get hold of yourself! You are NOT an Obamatron!
I wonder what ever became of looter guy. It would be funny if he is a successful businessman now.
