I wish someone would jump on this.

There are approximately 310 million people in the US.

A work force of about 160 million. An unemployment rate equal to when he took office.

He claims 23 million new jobs. Thats about 14% of the entire work force.

According to BLS.gov, the highest unemployment rate was Oct. 2009, of 10%, its now 8.1%.

A drop of 1.9%

1.9% of 160 million is about 3.15 million.

Simple Jr High math would smoke that number.

I loved that Romney nailed Obama on paying taxpayer cash out to his donors. Good strong criticism from the hard-right perspective that’s too often dismissed as conspiratorial.

Your post caught my eye when I read your comment concerning “The Companion Bible”....I have a large type copy and I find it very unsatisfactory to read any other.....it's a wonderful Bible and I'd highly recommend it anytime.

Yeah, I’d like to have a secret tape recording the supposed “nice” man cussing his staff out. Someone upthread said they hope someone hides the dog-they may have been joking, but I seriously hope someone does. Muslim cultures aren’t known for their kindness to animals at the best of times.

Romney showed the nation that he is sharp, he understands business, and he is knowledgeable about many issues such as health care. We need a man like him in the White House.

There is real hope that he may win. I’m so happy.

I think Dennis Miller said it best . . . .(pardon the language) “Obama better hope that a “kicked ass” is covered under Obamacare........!”

I’ll be real curious if the MSM tries to continue to cook the books by putting Obama way ahead in the faux polls, or what their approach will be for the next few weeks. If they pad the polls for Obama, they will just make themselves look even worse in the eyes of the public, who will think should I believe these stacked polls, or my own eyes having watched the debate performance of Romney. Will be fun watching what the now squirming Lamestream media will do next. Their options are becoming much more limited.

<<> Actually, Obama whined about a deduction for companies shipping jobs overseas and Romney said, --"Well, I've been in business for 25 years and I have no idea what you're talking about..." - meaning that what Obummer had said was b.s. (I wrote this down because it was a great line). That was one of the finer moments. Obama's statements were truly embarrassing. Clearly he was in over his head and got a schooling from Romney. At one point when Romney was clearly trumping Obunga on economic issues, he essentially pleaded to Lehrer: "Jim, you may want to move on to another topic." I can't help but think that many of the anti-Romney Freepers must also be grudgingly elated by this total takedown of King Narcissus. This evening was basically about showing that "the Emperor has no clothes."

——Romney has a sense of humor—he just said, “a deduction for taking shipping jobs overseas—I’ve been in business for 25 years and never heard of this. I should get a new accountant.” ——

Actually, Obama whined about a deduction for companies shipping jobs overseas and Romney said,

I am looking forward to two things:

A. Debbie Waserman Schultz explaining how The Messiah won the debate.

2. Dennis Miller on O'Riely giving his take on it.

I have to say, I was shocked when I turned to MSNBC for some giggles and witnessed Maddow declaring Romney the winner (but it was unfair, of course).

I'm heading over to DU now to see if it's completely burned to the foundation yet.

Ryan and Biden are next. I think we can expect another win there.

The foreign policy one is the final one and should be a cakewalk for Romney. That gives us almost a guaranteed 3 out of 4 wins.

The middle presidential one will be where Romney has to be careful now. It’s town hall format, which I’m not sure if Romney has a lot of experience with. That’s Obama’s best chance to flex his “I feel your pain” muscle.

And Candy Crowley is hosting the town hall one, obviously the biggest liberal hack moderator out of all 4 debates.

you are exactly right. This was amazing.. One of the most interesting debates I’ve ever seen. I wish my computer worked better! There is nothing better than Freeping while watching a debate or some other important event.

“Juan Williams saying obama won. lol So that makes him and Sharpton.

Even Bill Maher said Romney won.”

Juan Williams is in the tank for Obama...as is that Goulsbe ...was undecided...not any more. Oh dont get me wrong...I would never vote for Obama...but was thinking of not voting.
