Awful to watch, portends the end of Obama though. I am convinced.

When Obama said he promoted democracy and women’s rights, and freedom of religious expression. I wanted to gag. The new regime in Egypt has done nothing to stop the slaughter of Coptic Christians, I’ve been on a lot of websites asking the President to help some of these women accused of adultery or abanding Islam and converting to Christianity will die, and HE DOES NOTHING. Absolutely Nothing. The least he could do is send in the French Poodle Hillary Clinton to sweet talk the radicals. He has no fangs...when he confronts.

Mitt Romney is going to be our next President.

The American people want change. What they don’t want is what they’ve been living through the last four years.

Obama snapping, “I am not wrong!” and then going into a snarly rant lost the debate for O. I am surprised no analysts has mentioned this moment.

Romney’s team said that he wanted to avoid the lasting impression of conflict with the president and, instead, look presidential and prepared. I do wish he’d pushed Benghazi. but we all know that Obama would just tell more lies and the truth would not come out, so we must pray that the media and Congress do their best in that.

I think Mitt did look like he knew what he was talking about. You could see that Obama is not any more presidential than we’ve known him to be. He is easily angered and petulant. He hates being challenged and can only play with the set of “facts” he invents. He looked a couple times to be bailed out, but the moderator didn’t. Mitt kept his cool and doled out a couple doozies to Obama and Obama sulked at them.

Obama has been campaigning since 2010 elections were over. He’s played over 400 rounds of golf. He’s taken 17 vacations that we know of. He has appeared on several talk shows and invites people to play basketball with him all the time. He sleeps in till late morning and takes national security briefings about a 1/3 of the time. He & MIchelle spend like there is no tomorrow in an economy that might not have a tomorrow for most of the nation.
He shows callous disregard for the death of an Ambassador and 3 others, for true freedom fighters who are looking for his support, and when our own troops are in harm’s way. He pays tribute to the world’s dictators and terrorists and invites the enemy into the WH. He has filled the ranks of both czars and real cabinet posts with Marxists and cronies who hate America like he does. He talks a big talk to the public about our enemies, but backs away from real action. He blames everybody but himself for all his failures. Can anyone remember one thing he has said was his fault? No, he didn’t really take the blame for Benghazi yet. He said the buck stops with him, but he has not taken responsibility for anything about it yet. I think he is waiting for the lame stream media to bail him on that one...and the LA Times has started to.

Can anyone name ONE presidential thing this guy has done (right)? People earn the right for office on merit. There is none so far. Empty platitudes don’t help someone who’s been in the office for 4 years already and has not made a significant impression that he can handle the job. This guy just wants the benefits that go with the job, not the work entailed. We cannot afford 4 more years of this and his Marxist cronies. We will either be a Marxist nation or an Islamic one. Not sure which would be worse, but I don’t want to find out.

This is rationalization. Mitt should have gone harder.

I can’t stand when he lets lines like, “The failed economic policies of the past” go unanswered. Mitt needs to remind people that the recession of 2008 was due to the housing crisis fostered for 30 years by the Democrats.

Boor Riley says Mitt was being non confrontational to convince the women vote that he was soft and cudly.

One of the comments:

“Ahead by 6 to 7 points today. It’ll be by 14 points when Trump releases the divorce papers Michelle drew up while obama was a senator claiming the Prez was foolin around with the guys. Rumor or fact. Stay tuned wednesday at noon.”

WHAT?!

Mitt was cautious, and it seems to be planned. Those of us who wanted him to bury Obama with the facts didn’t get what we wanted, but we’re voting for him anyway.

Mitt’s performance wasn’t directed toward us, so it’s natural that we might be a bit disappointed.

If it’s true that a lot of men will have been watching the NLCS, or Monday Night Football, then Mitt’s handlers concluded that undecideds and women would be the target audience.

I disagree with this strategy, I think he would have been better served to take a swing at the many balls Obama teed up for him, but maybe the handlers are right.

At any rate, he didn’t lose me, and it’s possible some brain-dead undecideds, and females who had purchased the “crazy Mitt” meme Obama and the media had been selling us, will change their minds.

The media needs to give up trying to convince people Obama is more likable than Mitt. He’s not. In fact, Obama is not likable at all.

The debates are only part of the overall strategy. Romney wanted to look presidential in the debate, but the attacks can still come in ads and in comments by surrogates.

Still, he did seem to be trying to run out the clock, and I am not sure that he is far enough ahead for that strategy to work.

so according to Obama,Mitts job creation plans will collapse the economy. Maybe he needs to explain this.

He won the third debate because, by the end of the night, his and Obama’s positions in the narrative arc had switched. Romney now looks like the President and Obama looks like the challenger.

I had an image of a new campaign slogan,

“No more four more years of Marxism”

Romney knows he has already won. When the video is released of our people in Ben-Gazzy being murdered, in real time, and that Obama “went to bed”, (per Glenn Beck) He will be FINISHED! No need to argue Libya in the debate.

When your opponent is destroying themselves, just get out of the way, or something like that.

While Romney was making his points, the camera was showing Obama from the back. With his hunched shoulders and strange head shape, it was a disturbing sight.

The bad news is that since Mitt is ahead and George W. Bush is the devil, we have to pretend that it was indeed Obama, with Crocodile Dundee's knife clenched between his teeth, who brought Osama bin Laden to justice.

Bush understood, and Mitt understands, that Osama became irrelevant except for being a potential cheap political point. Many were distressed when he said that getting Osama wasn't the hottest thing on his plate, but he was absolutely correct. All the trash surrounding Zero's part in it shows that while he tried to leverage it for maximum benefit, all Zero did was turn Osama into some corny catch phrases like "Osama's dead and GM's alive". Rely on childish catch-phrases long enough and they finally make it clear that it's all you have in your arsenal. Mitt and his have done well to leave it in the background while the Left tries, ineffectually, to capitalize on it.

Mitt must be convinced he is going to win because he played that really, really safe.

That strategy has always driven me crazy, but it appears to be working for him.

I think Romney did what he could given the circustances.
That is 0’s unrelentless attempts at defining Romney. Not to mention 0’s usual lying BS.
Romney once again came out looking Presidential.
