Koko78 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I think Obama looked like a deer in headlights in the first debate and a deer in the headlights pretending he wasn't a deer in headlights in the second debate. He sounded strong and forceful last night, but his facial expressions gave off a vibe that he was afraid of what Romney was going to say next. Obama is clearly paying the price for heavily insulating himself by refusing to confront real detractors or push backs on his policies in a face to face situation. That smooth, confident guy with all the answers and magic fairy dust is long gone. Bobby Jindal had it right last night, he said that Obama had a thin skin and couldn't take criticism. The facial expressions showing obvious annoyance at Romney daring to question him were pretty telling. Well the few that slipped through, I will give credit and say that Obama did seem to do a decent job masking his irritation for a lot of the debate.

John Adams Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) This tweet from Obama today: @BarackObama Romney still won’t say whether he’d stand up for equal pay, but he did tell us he has “binders full of women." Unbelievably embarrassing. Last night was like an audition for The Real World DC. That tweet is asinine.

erynthered Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Romney will get his chance on Monday to talk about Libya. As far as who won? Depending upon what channel you have your TV on you'll find out. IMO no one won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievably embarrassing. This guy will do anything to keep the nation off topic. The topic being his policy failures. This is, as you said, just embarrassing. This tweet belong in the "lowering the bar" thread. Edited October 17, 2012 by BillsFanM.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Bill Clinton would have answered Jeremy's (the college student) question with "what are you in school for?" "What do you want to do post graduation?". Instead, Romney talks about taxes and Obama discusses the Detroit automotive economy. I heard someone make a point about this today. Both candidates were in such a hurry to get to their talking points that they made zero effort to connect to the audience. If either one had done that instead of rushing to snipe at each other, they would have been a runaway winner. Instead they competed to look like top dog on the Jerry Springer show.

I live in New Jersey and I've literally seen only one Obama bumper sticker in the last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I live in New Jersey and I've literally seen only one Obama bumper sticker in the last month. That's beause everybody in New Jersey is a greedy 1%er with their own reality show I heard someone make a point about this today.

If either one had done that instead of rushing to snipe at each other, they would have been a runaway winner. Instead they competed to look like top dog on the Jerry Springer show.

BillsFanM.D. Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Seriously...between that tweet and the "lady parts" e-card Obama has done it again. He's made himself a victim. Hopefully, he doesn't figure out that the perpetrator is his own ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1billsfan Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Good data point. I'm sure Jersey will be close. Obama wins by no more than 5 points in NJ. There's an outside chance he could lose NJ. If PA is in play then NJ is in play. There's very little polling here in a state that elected Chris Christie, and what polling there has been has had some ridiculous D+12 bias to it. I think that was a Rutgers poll...LOL Edited October 17, 2012 by 1billsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitt looks like a possibility in Florida but Obama still has more paths open to secure 270 votes. Last night's debate probably didn't move the needle. They both looked childish.

IDBillzFan Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 It's unanimous. Everyone agrees Obama won the debate, and by everyone I mean everyone interviewed from Jimmy Kimmel's show four hours before the debate even started. America. !@#$ yeah! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UrOmhH2PeI&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
