I'm sure you did, but you weren't the quarterback at the time.........
The RNC ad should be...
Obama’s close as the audio... over pictures of him playing golf and on screen captioning explaining that he has played over 100 rounds of golf in four years and hasn’t met his jobs council in 6 months.
I thought I heard Obama say something to the effect of “That’s why you have a budget.” Thought Romney should jump on the fact that Obama’s proposed budgets didn’t get a single vote in the Senate, and that Congress has not passed a budget in 3 years under Obama’s leadership.
Romney needs to list the litany of Obama’s 2008 promises that he has yet to fulfill.
GITMO closing [just to inflame Obama’s liberals]
Cutting the deficit in half, but increasing it by $trillions, instead
etc.
Can’t we just be happy that Romney did a good job?
Im not sure how Romney could have done any better. Have you read the news today?
Romney should have said “Yeah, well, the jerk store called, and they’re running out of you!”
Repubs fall for it every time. It's locally funded and controlled. Taking state tax money, sending it to D.C. only to return less of it to local districts, but with the added bonus of bureaucratic genius programs, is never really a winning issue.
It should be philosophically rejected.
Mitt's argument was more..."I can do it better".
When they were going back and forth, debating “revenues,” Romney should have corrected Obama and that senile guy and said, “Bureacrats call them “revenues,” as if it’s something they earned. The American people call them taxes and they’ve had enough of them.” Or something to that effect.
Fight who? Other Americans I gather. Typical baloney
He did just fine.
Well, he didn’t grab the back of Bongo’s neck and slam his face into the podium, but I guess I can forgive that.
When O was accusing Romney of not offering any details of his budget plans Romney should have told him ‘we will have to pass the budget to see what’s in it.’
Obama's answer (I'm paraphrasing) was that the first duty of gov't was to "keep people safe".
Now where in the Constitution does it say that? Is it something to do with "pursuit of happiness"? Maybe "providing for the common defense" or establishing our right to "feel secure in our homes"? None of these duties of gov't seems to fit exactly with Obama's belief in "keeping people safe".
It dawned on me that maybe Obama really doesn't even know what the Constitution says (he grew up in Indonesia, I doubt they teach it in school).
Obama's vision of the role of gov't will always clash with mine (to provide maximum liberty). How can you "keep people safe" without strictly controlling their actions? So we get to the heart of the matter - Obama's idea of the role of gov't is the Nanny State, where he controls everyone's lives (for their own good, of course).
Unfortunately, the people going into the middle class were ex upper class with ZERO's economic policies!
Well, the only relevant missed opportunity would have seemed really out of place if Romney had mentioned it:
The opportunity to point out how “conservative” talk radio hosts and posters on conservative websites are so easily fooled by shallow minded talking points tossed into the ring by the left.
Talking points meant to discourage conservatives.
I am sure Mitt missed a number of opportunities but just how badly can one blast the opposition in the allotted tims with out using a nuke.
Romney was excellent. he left Obama battered and bruised on the floor. I suppose he could have kicked him in the teeth while he was down there but what’s the point.
Indeed I chuckle at hearing Obama’s remarks, just as hard as the last 4 years?? What a swell job Obama has been doing out on the golf course.
Deficit reduction: In 1 response, Obama said that he was going to use the savings from ending the wars to cut deficit, a few answers later, he blamed the deficit on GWB and cited having 2 wars that were unpaid for. If we are borrowing to pay for war, how are we using money for reduction and other programs without just borrowing it for something else?
