Obama-Romney II - The 'Tumble In The Town Hall' Debate - Live Webcast

Tyler Durden's picture




 

This is the real thing. Forget the Thrilla-in-Manilla or the Rumble-in-the-Jungle, tonight's no-holds-barred, no-truth-spoken 'Tumble-in-the-Town-Hall' debate promises much (but will likely deliver little). Fighting out of the blue corner is a toned middleweight - the comeback-kid Barack 'the basher' Obama. His opponent, fresh from victory in their previous epic battle, fighting from the red corner, the deceivingly slippery Mitt 'the mauler' Romney. Intrade has the 'basher' at 60.5% odds of winning it all on November 6th - at its lows of the day after suffering some heavy action in the early afternoon - while RealClearPolitics has the pair evenly matched.

Obama and Crowley in kahoots together on Benghazi and claiming the day after he said it was terror....

A full and complete lie partaken by both the president and moderator. 

At no time did Obama ever say it was a terror attack.

He called it an "attack" emphatically and closed with comments about how we wouldn't let "acts of terror" sway whatever it is that's blah blah blah... 

The point goes to Romney. 

I think the bigger problem than the Prez and moderator who get it wrong isn't as serious as the fact that Obama would want to call out Romney's press release about it.  That's one of those really telling things about our current political situation--the press releases are more important than the events.

Neither of them let the other call out his past.  That's a knife that cuts both ways.  I wouldn't buy a used car from anyone on that stage, that's for sure.

Pretty good debate for the nonsense of it all. I think a huge fact checking moment comes in the early part where Romney-Obama beat off over oil production on public lands. That was pretty weird. Otherwise, it was total flower seeds over the next hour an half. The important point being that neither one said that we are basically screwed as a paradigmn and the replacement is to be announced. Romney seemed a little crazed and Obama could have been a little nastier.

Cnn is irrelevant.  I don't like fox but they do manage to play it somewhat 'fair' as far as bringing up the talking points of both sides.  

 

I should add that your point is accurate though...even if we did have more oil and gas - companies here, as noted elsewhere on this thread and before on this site - are sending the oil overseas because they ship to the highest bidder.   Our dollar is worth shit...just came back from Amsterdam and France...euro is 1.3 dollars...and the fucking Euro is almost gone!

What a pageant of amateur crap.  Bring back Susan Boyle and let Howard Stern moderate.  AT least it would give us a show. 

Trump was on radio today. He thinks Obomba's handlers will order him to pull the War Card: "Rally behind the flag." It makes as much nonsense as anything else.  Some have suggested that something much worse could happen to achieve the same goal of "rallying" people...

Another invasion / occupation under false pretexts would certainly distract from troubles at home.  It's kinda like the schoolkid who dodges his homework by shooting a few rounds of Medal of Honor.  "Mission accomplished."

Romney is a great salesman, and seems to believe, sincerely, in the product he is selling. Tonight that is himself.  He will make the perfect next president of the United States, using that faculty to pick up the banner that Obamma has dropped and bring freshness and verve to the promotion of the best interests of the Oligharchy which rules these fading disunited states.  The entire tenor of this proceeding has been highly depressing,  especially the low class idemeanor projected by the moderator ,but also the bumbling and lack of ability to even read their own questions,  if they were their own,  by members of the audience.  God save us.

thought the Mittster won, although even Geo Will said Obama won, "tactically", he showed up and he didn't act bored. Mitt connected with each member of the audience personally (my mother says its because he was a pastor of his church for 10 years) while Obama fumbled their names and immediately starts lecturing. I been to high school, thank you scotus (fuckyou)

having lived long enough this smells like Carter Reagan, 1980. and if was Mitt i would talk about what a shit hole Obama left in Chicago, having honed his craft ready to make over America in their image?

is there something wrong with Mitts record in MA probably, but Chicago is what it is. a shit hole of poverty and gang killings.

Yeah, no brainer, theft through inflation

Destroy savers

Encourage those who spend like drunken sailors (no offense to drunken sailors to compare them to government)

For me, the biggest hit to Obama was his own words when he was talking about oil companies having leases on public lands. You can't do what you want with your property (in this case leases) when you want, so we're going to take it from you...

I didn't waste my time watching the debate because I already knew who won. Obamney won. As George Carlin said, "it's a big club and you ain't in it." The people lose no matter what.

He also said, "religion is just mind control." Technically it should be, "government is mind control."
