2012 Presidential Debate - Third and Final Debate

[hazlnut]

Fuck Obama... explaining what a carrier is and what a submarine does.\

What an asshole!!

Yeah. He also told Romney that we aren't playing a game of Battleship here.

I just caught up to that part.

Brilliant!!

Brilliant!!

Obama is kicking W.'s... I mean, Mitt's ass.

 

[asterism]

Dumb move by Romney to bring up "apology tour." Lowest focus group numbers so far.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Obama is being kind.

 

[Desperado]

And The Winner Is.. There is no winner and the American people are the losers in this debate.
This debate is different because they are arguing over how they would do exactly the same things.
These two clowns are more concerned about Israel and Iran than they are about the United States.

 

[toomuchtime_]

This is a wash, and that works to Romney's advantage since foreign policy was supposed to be an Obama strong point.

 

[Sarah G]

Big Whopper.

 

[hazlnut]

Dumb move by Romney to bring up "apology tour." Lowest focus group numbers so far.

Well, he's got W's advisors.

 

[Sherry]

Wish he would stop acting like that.

It's a turn off to everyone except for his hungry base.

No actually it's 100% correct. In WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, we had to pound the shoreline with battleships and cruisers. Today we fire missiles from aircraft and destroyers. Hence you need fewer ships and the battle ships are now museums.

Evolution.

Obama kicked Romney's ass.

His snarky attitude is most definitely a turn off...it hasn't worked for him in the past, and it certainly won't work for him in this debate.

What an asshole!!

Oh he's clearly going to carry the vote of our service people and veterans.

Obama was condescending, but Romney deserved such with saying we have less ships since WWI and planes since WWII. Those are ignorant statements that ignore modern warefare as Obama astutely pointed out.

Commander in Chief Romney? No way....

The Governor has been running for office for nearly 10 years. A junior grade lieutenant on the USS Seabiscuit could have put the Governor in his place on that one.

 

[Sarah G]

This is a wash, and that works to Romney's advantage since foreign policy was supposed to be an Obama strong point.

Romney has been getting bitch slapped for the last 45 minutes.

 

[rightwinger]

Obama is killing him on Iran

 

[hazlnut]

I'm loving this.

Obama is explaining how and why his policies work.

And Fox will spin the hell out of this, but independents are hearing it.

 

[Jackson]

Dumb move by Romney to bring up "apology tour." Lowest focus group numbers so far.

What channel are you watching?

 

[skye]

Obama seems so unconvincing ... so weak ... so bleeding heart....

pathetic.

 

[Trajan]

Romney thinks our Navy is weaker than 1916?

He said 1917

US Ship Force Levels


Obama is wrong, ships occupy their physical space and command the horizon around them ........less ships less space covered, Obama sounded like an ass.

LOL

Monitors? They were from the Civil War

What a Douchebag. One carrier wipes out that whole fleet

Shows what numbers are worth

God you're ignorant, seriously, read what I wrote and Romney was right the fleet is as small, sux huh?

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

By THE WAY OBAMA. THEY NOTICED THAT YOU SKIPPED ISRAEL.

 

[Conservative]

Obama is being called out on his apology tour... LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

His snarky attitude is most definitely a turn off...it hasn't worked for him in the past, and it certainly won't work for him in this debate.

He's also mastering the facts as well. You can be somewhat snarky when your opponent is literally ignorant of what the capabilities of the modern navy are in a foreign policy debate.

 

[hazlnut]

By THE WAY OBAMA. THEY NOTICED THAT YOU SKIPPED ISRAEL.

Fox must be editing you're version of the debate on the fly.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Romney just tried to crowbar in that dictator comment.

Obama is now demonstrating what a leader does.
