Home stretch people, home stretch. Tonight is the last debate. . . thankfully. Tonight is about foreign policy, which probably means ratings of between 14-18 people. In that regard, we now have a CIA memo which blows a hole in the Obama Administration plan to blame the intelligence community. Obama seems to have decided that less than 4 deaths per embassy is optimal. And Joe Biden is looking for veterans of our recent wars with Iraq and Iran. . . idiot.
It looks like Obama wasn't able to gain any momentum from the last debate so tonight could be critical. Maybe he should talk about the 47% of Pakistanis Romney hates. . . or the 57 states he's visited since he became a professional

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 422 Newer› Newest»tryanmax, I don't think it went over well because it was snide and childish.
WHERE IS MY EFFIN HELMET?!
Bayonets? Well, that's just mean. So are pitchforks :D
"stand with Israel" isn't the same thing!
BO & Israel . . .no not working for me.
He won't go beyond "we will stand with Israel." Just noting a subtle shift of the terms Bob put in the question.
Notice he didn't say he would stand by Israel in all circumstances.
Oh, and hello again all.
How's the debate been going? Clearly Obama is being a bloviated dunce, as usual.
welcome, T-Rav, we're having FUN! (not)
Okay, Romney is talking about how we have less ships than we've had since 1917 and Obama counters that with something about horses and bayonets and how Romney doesn't understand things like "aircraft carriers" and stuff. Is he listening to Romney?
"We cannot afford to have a nuclear arms race in the most volatile region in the world.”
Funny... when Ryan said this, Biden called him crazy and laughed at him.
when...
So, sanctions worked. (no) Harms way? Put up, or shut up, BO
Obama will not say "We have Israel's back". Romney did.
Horses and bayonets? What? Did I miss something, or is this the 1812 presidential debate?
Bev, didn't you hear? Oceans are being phased out.
Well, it sounds to me like a repeat of the second debate, more or less. Obama is not being a narcoleptic, but Romney is still sounding like a very competent person. Am I missing anything?
Tryan - Oooh, so the seas have receded and we dont' need no stinkin' Navy!
Romney continues to show that he's got deeper thoughts and more knowledge on every issue.
yeah, except TOTUS is a bigger jackass than normal.
Phased out with extreme prejudice, no less.
Oh yes the UN. Disband them.
The talks with Iran are not true. By Friday, Obama will be talking to Iran.
OK - is BO snarkier than usual???
Isn't saying the same thing louder Obama's strategy. I guess you can always count on a Democrat to project onto a Republican.
Blah blah blah....the sad thing is some people believe what he's saying.
Obama keeps taking childish shots at Romney that don't fit with his veneer of being professional and adult.
rlaWTX, I think so, and it is unattractive.
Romney needs to be careful not to smirk too much...
tick-tock...two more weeks!
Mr. Obama, I knew Henry Kissinger, and you, sir, are no Henry Kissinger.
Henry Kissinger! WOOT!
excellent, T-Rav!
Here's a conundrum. If he uses a past-tense form of "Let me be clear," do we still drink?
Obama has been so clear to Iran that they already have enough fissionable material for at least one bomb.
BO, just got really boring . . . Mitt, clean it up for us/
T-Rav, yes, but also in the past tense.
excellent coupling of Chavez & Castro with NorK & Iran!!!!!!!!!
Boy, is it hard to keep this smirk plastered on my face.
Honestly, I don't think Romney's attacks based on four years ago work that well.
I may have a bias, but Romney is the more compelling, engaging speaker tonight.
Threat of Parking lot.
I never apologized! Wha???
Er, Mr. President? I have a Saudi prince on line one who would like a word with you.
Apology tour didn't happen. What?!
Joel, if he was any clearer, Iran would have a full-fledged bomb.
SERIOUSLY!!!! he's going to deny apologizing??????
We've decided. We don't like you Mr. Obama...
No you were not clear Mr. Obama during the Iranian Spring.
When? When were you clear about this? I don't remember you ever being clear about the Iranian Revolution being a good thing (or anything else, for that matter).
Actually, the world gave up after trying a bunch of stuff and failing.
"You skipped Israel." BANG!!
Hmm, I just noticed that the screen divider on NBC is a red, white, and blue ribbon. Nice touch.
Appeaser. With Israel or not?
Nice, Mitt. He's firm and strong.
Romney is explaining TOTUS' actions to him!!!
FREED OTHER NATIONS! Truth bomb'd!
Oh boy. Here it comes...."let's not dwell on the past."
when he was a candidate, TOTUS was tougher than as Pres!!!
What are the odds on whether any of this is true? I'm thinking 6-to-1.
Enter "World-Citizen Obama."
Or is it racist to say that?
Ha ha ha ha ha...how I've used my travels. Hoo-boy! Not fundraising. Pfffttt...snort. Oh my.
tryanmax, it's always racist unless you're a liberal!
BO's track record? Was that what they thought in Libya, Afghanistan?
Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.
Brilliant answer by Romney.
stick to your guns, Mitt!
This is a pretty solid performance by Romney. More facts and everything. Too bad most people are off watching ball games.
It's not cold war, its real war
TOTUS is going to sprain his smirk if he keeps using it...
Eh-eh-eh-eh, er-er-er, ah-ah-ah.
Zzzzzzzz.....
I don't think Obama's "you said the other thing" attacks aren't working. They sound like political distortions.
What is Obama talking about? Is he flailing just a little?
BIN LADEN!!!!!!
Is that like Pok-e-mon?
Drink!
Obama SUPERHAWK now exploits 9/11... something he used to accuse Bush of doing.
i'm out, as always it's a joy to call barry out with you folks!
Pok-e-mon is just north of Pak-e-stan
Wow, he's really waving this bloody shirt. Gee, I remember this sort of thing being bad when Bush was president.
There he goes again. BIN LADEN.
So the president's job is closure for Payton. At least we now know what guides his foreign policy. It's Payton.
Killing Osama was not popular?
couple of overall observations - it seems like Obama almost always is allowed the last word, but maybe not.
Second, I wish Romney had schooled Obama on the economy. Obie's saying the math doesn't work out fails to realize the additional revenue one gets through real job creation. Oh well . . . .
very gracious response to that slap-back...
Andrew, I'm glad that slipped by me. I could be dead now.
rlaWTX, Ironically, Obama did ask for permission from Pok-e-man. They refused.
Obama pulled a Bush - He trotted 9/11 victims AND bin Laden out...boo, hoo.
Well, there went Obama's very last shred of dignity.
tryanmax, It left a bruise on my hippocampus.
It's Pah-kee-stahn, Mitt. Pah-kee-stahn.
the Tracy-Hepburn movie on TCM is very tempting...
Romney has a ton of knowledge on every single country and he presents it like he really understands it. He comes across as VERY credible.
Obama/Biden 2012: For Payton.
My brain is hurting...make them stop talking!!!
OH - if it's for Payton!!!!
Anyone looking to see how the Cardinals are doing? (If it's bad, don't tell me.)
HAHAHA "pulling out responsibly"
Why does this sound like a beer commercial? "Pull our responsibly."
Our high-speed rail?
T-Rav, I can almost hear the dramatic music.
Labor camps for Veterans!!
I could make a really vulgar joke using that line, but...no. No, I won't.
rlaWTX, Andrew, that doesn't always work. So I'm told...
Loose and sad assertion about unemployment.
T-Rav, I already laughed at the joke you didn't tell...
Twenty more minutes people... suck it up. You can make it.
If we divorce Pakistan, they can keep the kids.
Wow, Sheiffer brought up the doctor who help get bin Laden. Do you think Obama will address that?
Andrew, it huuuuurts!!!!!
By "suck it up" I assume you mean the booze. Can do, Andrew. Can do.
Hang in there rlaWTX... this build character.
Romney throws Obama a bone. Watch Obama take it and belt him over the head with it.
Never use a drone unless you have a good queen.
Heck, Pakistan can keep the kids and everything, so long as it's all radioactive.
This is where I have issues - drones.
Do you hear that? That's the sound of all the newspaper writers tearing up their "Romney clueless on Middle East" stories that were set to print. Too bad.
I've already seen the movie on TCM and it's tempting... not the best Tracy-Hepburn movie either...
Bravo wrap up, Mitt!
rla, you've got a dirty mind.
tryanmax, I think you underestimate the newspaper writers.
Yeah, but both Tracy and Hepburn are far easier on the eyes than anyone on this show.
I dare Obama to name one since time he's actually done that.
(raises hand)....um?
Dealing with extremism in Yemen & Somalia??? Yeah, that's why they attack our embassies and float pirates...
"This nation, ME" GACK!!!!!
Did he just say "Me"? That was kinda unpresidential...
Me, me, me. The final rallying cry of the Obama administration.
Wow, plenty of energy there, great to hear the description about Pakistan. Yes, it's strained, but with the long answer there, he (Romney) still shows more knowledge about what he's talking about...
Sheesh! To think that he's actually debating the president here?!!!
Our debt.
I thought obesity was the greatest security threat. Mooch is going to be maaaad...
So our greatest national security threat is China... unless it isn't.
"The Audacity of Me": The upcoming book of Barack Obama's life, written by the man himself.
Hmm, so after all that bashing of Romney for having investments in China, Obama declares China a potential partner. Ohhhhhh-kaaaayyyyy
Bev, I don't think that "Me" is going to go over too well.
Read in awe as Obama sprang fully formed from the forehead of Zeus, proclaiming the need for liberty throughout all the land.
Tam, didn't Dr. Oz and Oprah say that?
Takin' care of business!
Wow, now Obama is going for a Great Depression.
Hey, he saved the US for tires...what about Apple and all those slaves who made Obama's Iphone and IPad that he reads all of his security briefings on...
jen, probably. But I'm pretty sure FLOTUS said it too.
Gasp as Obama, realizing the world was not ready for his greatness, reincarnated himself, re-emerging in 1962 to deliver himself from a woman's womb, then congratulate the doctor on being there just in case.
Romney just schooled Obama on China.
I stopped listening...
debt!
Stand enraptured as the power that is Obama's mind bursts forth to overawe the people at Harvard and Occidental College, so much so that they admitted him without needing to look at his records or indeed keep any of their own.
I would have to say that Romney has had more to say than Obama...
They're killing our pets!
"The Audacity of Me": Get it in bookstores soon, or with a donation tonight to his campaign, Obama will send the contents to you telepathically, with the power of his mind. Of. His. Mind.
a bet on american union workers. Asshole.
BAD ANSWER BY OBAMA. He's got no plan on China and he just admitted that.
Tam, I looked it up. Moochelle agreed with Dr. Oz, and he said it first. I know where I got Oprah from, he started on her show.
Obama we're buying cars from Japan, not China...
Well, that was a nice distraction. Now what is Obama babbling on about?
Or, and I'm just spitballing here, we could lower corporate tax rates here to incentivize business locating here. Oh, but that's just silly.
silly tryanmax...
Jen, I concede. But I was part right. Whoever said it and whoever repeated it is a jackass. All bases covered.
Tam, I think technically it was a bet on Fiat.
Obama's lips move, but he never says anything.
Why does Obama keep saying how "clear" he has been when he has been the least clear on ANYTHING!
RE: Cars, I'm planning to by Korean. So I guess I've got no dog in.
....Policies aren't for Obama!
Bev, I could quote the Princess Bride, but T-Rav frowns on that...
Obama: we've been working with countries to do things like let ships pass through.
And Romney kills Obama's Detroit point. It's now lost in the weeds.
"height of silliness"
rla, as...you...wish....
Bev, he knows he isn't clear and he's begging for help. "Let me be clear, please, oh please, let me be clear! Why won't anyone stop me from obfuscating?"
BO sounds really weak, here.
Ouch!
I like Mitt Romney more than I did yesterday...
FIVE MINUTES WOO HOO!!!
Tam, Agreed! On the JACKASS part. It doesn't matter who said it, it was stupid. I remember hearing it, so I wanted to check to make sure I said it right. We both win.:)
Schieffer is doing great tonight. I am happy about that. Obama is a stupid head.
T-Rav, more like "... you keep using that word..."
HE IS NOT IRAN!!!!!
But seriously, don't look it up. I don't actually want you to do that.
Jon, That's because he's trying to split hairs down in the weeds.
So, basically Obama's argument is that bankruptcy doesn't work like bankruptcy?
Jen, DRINK! Or is that not part of the game?
I also like Spencer Tracy... and Kate Hepburn...
And here we go again with the Romney's plan stinks bit.
Obama does not understand what "bankruptcy" means. He needs to drop the "Romney wanted GM to go bankrupt" meme. It's a loser.
Is this idiot done talking yet? I keep hearing the same thing--"policies of the past," "tax cuts," yada yada yada.
Obama just stepped into this. Every time Romney goes through this list, Obama takes it in the shorts.
Slam Obama again! Wow.
How did we get back to domestic policy?
Tam, if you want to include it, fine, but I'm not drinking tonight, sorry.
DONE! almost.
From you, we've only heard two debates.
Holy Cow is Obama rehearsed on his closing statement!
IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!!!! IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!
I have to say Bob did the best. He didn't interfere and kept the debate kind of on track.
The jobs of tomorrow that aren't here today.
Mr. President, you ARE the weakest link. Good-bye.
Yes, lie some more, BO. Investment comes from those who invest.
AWESOME, T-Rav!
Yawn.
One thing I wish Romney would have said is how straight up silly it is to educate people for jobs that just aren't there.
What happened with the 'shovel ready jobs'? Why are you still wanting to rebuild roads and bridges?
No you won't, Mr. Obama. You will not fight for me. You've made it clear you do not like me.
Shall we have a Commentarama straw-poll. I say Romney by a neck.
Nice closing statement right there.
