Debate Post-Mortem: Obama's Bin Laden, Romney's Bad-Guys, And Mali, Manipulators & Moar Centrifuges
Was it just us - or was that a bit of a snoozer? Some fascinating 'off-topic' debates that dragged us from Mali to Massachusetts 1st grade math scores, and from Bayonets to Obamacare. Some reasonable amount of agreement between the two on foreign policy punctuated by flip-flopper and weakling name-calling. Ironically, given our boxing-match meme - the counterpunches were incessant though Romney seemed to play defense more and Obama appeared to more urgently change the discussion (with little impact). Lots of braggadocio on naming multi-syllabic foreign towns and leaders. Obama won the drinking-game challenge by a long-way 53:34. Obama also won the 'time-spoken' challenge (by the narrowest margin of the 3 debates) 41:42 to 41:07. Obama's odds of an election win levitated modestly from the beginning (from around 59.5% to 61.5%). Of course, Wal-Mart got very, very quiet when the cheap China import bashing started, but luckily it too was based on generic 10 second attention span talking points, and led nowhere, so the Waltons can get back to doing what they do best. So far an Obama clean-sweep on our scientific study, which of course was highly irrelevant: all the truly important foreign issues (EU, China economic ascendancy, Japanese decline) were ignored. Why? The "Mr. Chairman will get to work" of course, showing once again who is truly in charge.
Obama's Intrade Odds rising modestly...
and wins the drinking game...

Overall: (ironic subliminal word groupings: Nuclear Military Get World, Sure People Want World Make America, and Just Years)
Word-Counts:
Romney 8,745 words - a debate record for him - for a pace of 213 words per minutes - just shy of his record-breaking pace of Debate #1. It would seem "WORLD", America, and military played an important role in his evening's discussion with Iran (23) > Pakistan (15) > Israel (14) and 3x Centrifuges...
Obama's 7,740 words once again lagged Romneys and his pace decidely slower at more "I...I...I..." dominated 185 words per minute. It seemed 'making sure' and 'leadership' were his buzzwords but the key areas for discussion (in order of importance) by instances: Iran (20); China (18); Israel (17); Pakistan (4); Mali (2); Africa (1); Europe (1)
and Europe scored a perfect 'nill points' on the Global foreign policy discussions... (though Romney mentioned Greece twice)
So Romney wins word-count and talking-speed, Obama wins time-spoken and drinking-game... 2-2 and tie is broken by Intrade odds rising by around 2% - the winner and still the incumbent - Barack Obama...

Long muppet stew.
Sorry I meant installed not elected...
Boring assed Yid moderated debate (with the goium acting on their behalf) where the Yids kept the focus on foreign policy and off the fucked up economy we have had with the moocher in chief at the helm. What can we expect from these sick fucks running our banks and media?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cWipgJDEOA
ironic- a sociopatic murderer defending a people that are the antithesis of the term
What else do you expect? What CAN you expect?
Most under used word in the debate- Israel.
Was it just me, or did that moderator refer to Bin Laden as "OBAMA"? I could have sworn he had the tongue stabbing moment of his life when he said that!
Ok I found it:
Presidential Debate: Bob Schieffer Makes the Obama-Osama Gaffe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wORKqmwLKCk
It is amazing to witness a presidental candidate talk about removing the head of a sovereign State (Assad) and replacing him with a government friendly to the US - so matter of factly - like its no big deal - can someone explain to me how that is any different than when Japan marched into China? Or Germany into Austria?
Because the U.S. is spreading democracy, freedom and the rule of law..... (/s, just for those still alseep).
Because, as all correct-thinking people know, the US is The Good Guys®.
(...and if you believe that, you probably vote D or R and think that your vote makes a difference.)
Three great comments in a row there. Love you folks on these threads. TY
the world is a chess board for the CIA to fuck up
Russia's the grand master in this global chess game of Real Politik. The CIA stands for "Central Incompetence Agency" (or "Completely Incompetent A--holes") in this regard.

Easily. They were not 'americans'
'Americans' know what is good for humanity as a whole (natural rights theory) and speak on behalf of humanity since 1776, July, 4th.
'Americans' sacrifice themselves for the welfare of human kind.
'Americans' have transformed the essence of extorting the weak and farming the poor.
The burden of such activity is no longer on the shoulders of the extorted and the farmed. The burden has shifted on the shoulders of the extorters and the farmers. In the 'american' way of doing things, they get the wrong end of the shaft.
This is an 'american' world and a US world order.
Sorry to get off topic but the lid is blowing off the German gold scandel...

Make mine Gold BULLION minus the Tungsten, please..
I give up
I disagree with Schieffer.
I don't like teachers.
It's funny how the Socialist countries with the worst financial situations have the "best educational systems."
Makes you wonder why that is.
Socialist love brainwashing.
Need I remind you that you are a government contractor? Does that mean you don't have a brain to wash?
No, it just means he knows where the easy money is.
Well it sure isn't in teaching. And if people think that everyone who goes into teaching does it to brainwash folks, they're wrong.
Try looking into the secret societies some more before bashing teachers, folks. There are many ss folks in the ranks of the educational system, trust me.
I've noticed that anyone who falls for the divide and conquer meme of bashing teachers' unions always admits (publicly or at least to himself or herself) that he or she wouldn't do the job, especially in some vile, urban shithole.
Secret societies infiltrate certain institutions for certain reasons. Believe it or not, not all teachers teach for the goal of molding young ones for the NWO or to parasitically suck money from a broken system. Some of us are trying to teach logical structure while fostering independent thought. It can be a very honorable and important profession, and some of us make truly awful pay for a lot of hard work and little respect.
They don't work as much and enjoy the life they were born into.
the socialists are good at turning out civil servants that are basically automatons.
like FBI, DHS, TSA goons
no common sense, no brains there
You could say the same thing about 99% of American sheeple. 99% of them would take one of those government jobs in a heartbeat.
I don't care who gets elected. Americans deserve whichever one they get.
There's no way this government will ever be put back on the right track. It must collapse and die. Then we can start over, assuming the nation survives.
(face in hands, small childlike sobs)
Gary Johnson 2012
I second that.
Do you have another job lined up, government contractor?
Sign removal ?
http://www.inquisitr.com/372216/son-of-wisconsin-state-senator-assaulted...
Fuck both parties, parrot.
we know how you libs don't really have a whole lot of respect for private property- you know-with your penchant for collectivism. in fact-some day you may be able to move into a nice house like the Reds did in "Dr. Zhivago".
I just want to stop paying taxes to pay the salary of economics9698, and probably you.
actually- my tax bracket is smack dab in the middle of the one that pays the price for not being in the 1% or the 47%-so I'm F-ed.
So why do you up arrow a government contractor (economics9698)?
how do you know that he is?
He admitted it months ago. Ask him.
I am a fascist war monger.
No, no ,no, I am the fascist war monger.
Trade War with China is the way to go!!
Go Romney!!
Yes I agree, let kick the shit out of the landlord and we will see how that ends.
Does it bother you that the Chinese pay your salary, government contractor economics9698?
You are a special kind of crazy to follow around the poster above you and reply to everything he says. I might suggest Rand that you not act like a psycho.
That's what she's paid to do.
Yes, especially that 300 thousand... no million Chinese people move from the countryside to the city every day.
Whatever the fuck, who's counting anymore.
Yes, go Romney. Send all those jobs to China!
How can that happen? Doesn't China have the keys to the Whitehouse already. Hope the Chinese leaders like some of that Hyde Park Chicago cooking.
LOL
The US doesn't have a leg to stand on if there was a trade "war" between those two nations.
Obama can talk about these "alliances" growing stronger as much as he likes. There's no love for USrael outside of NY, Tel Aviv and Washington and in that order.
Russia's Putin has ASSEMBLED the world's largest oil and gas company. Russia is THE oil & gas POWERHOUSE of the world. China and Russia are bordering and loving their military alliances.
Go fuck yourself, USrael
There were so many lies from both of the two official choices , but I expect that. What makes me sick is when I visit other sites the reds and the blues are busy defending their guy. Unbelievable... we all lose.
You are neither blue nor red. Then what are you? Yellow? Brown?
I'm mauve.
Brilliant question, since there are only two possible answers to all questions.
That must be true, since the only other possibility is false.
My little 1 spl* game has been prematurely interrupted due to an alcohol-induced coma 5min into the debate.
*sip per lie.
Those are paid shills. The reality is, as Ron Paul conventions proved, that not many people are into wasting time with Republicans and Democrats.
The revolution against the banksters is underway. Mostly infighting at this time but they will start turning the fisty cuffs on each other soon. I guess the exposure of the Queen's pedophile ring is the beginning.
? You must know a lot of special people. Most folks I know are busy fighting for their team's candidate like the outcome means the end of the world.
I think your post is fanciful sentiment, unfortunately.
Americans should vote for that big yellow bird and pretend Romney and Obama don't exist
Today the future is set. Bernanke says he's got an even bigger QE---infinity plus---in the works, and four more years of the epitome of the Peace Prize President is all but guaranteed.
Act accordingly.
Bernanke even a bigger FU --- infinity plus-- for the fixed income people.
I was so sad when they closed the bayonet factory in my town, Lansing, Michigan.
when you take away the act of killing someone and looking them in the eye and instead do the killing remotely with a joystick from thousands of miles away then mankind is certainly doomed.
It's certainly not good news for the 80% civilian bystanders murdered by drones.
More horses!
More single shot bolt-action rifles!
More drones and neutron bombs mounted on the wings!
More journalism and political science students in the Universities and Colleges!
Glad I stayed with the game.
Are you telling me this was just a game and they were not being serious?
Ahh, what a relief, I almost believed it was for real.
Intrade has Obama down 0.8% and Romney up 0.8% after the debate.

What part of "We got Osama Bin Laden" did they miss.
The whole body.
Waiting for Trump's bombshell on Wednesday AM
Trump will trumpet proof that F.M. Davis was POTUS's biological father, thus exposing the lie.

CBS snap poll says it's a clear victory for Obama:
53% for Obama, 23% for Romney, and 24% call it a tie.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/22/1148547/-The-Commander-in-Chief-Debate-Horses-and-bayonets?detail=hide
See BS at their usual shenanigans again. This was a draw, anyone who says otherwise is a partisan hack.
CNN's snap poll says Obama won 48-40. Big difference from the CBS poll.
CBS NEWS INSTANT POLL Who won the#Debate? OBAMA: 53%; ROMNEY: 23%, TIE: 24% (Margin of Error: 4%; Sample Size: 521)
Is that from the focus group that is 76% white and no Latinos?
they are thinking of renaming CBS- it will now be TATV-TelAviv Television.
Why change it when it's perfect as is? (C)omplete (B)ull(S)hit has such a nice ring to it.
Playing "lawn darts" in the dark, would have been more entertaining.
First one to five wins !
The first one in the head loses.
I'll be damned . There's a boat thingy that can go underwater . Who knew?
Crazy talk there! He said there is some kind of new-fangled boat that planes can land on too!
He outed a top secret DARPA project, underwater boats that airplanes land on. Currently they're working on screen doors that remain firmly shut to keep the flies out.
*ROMNEY SAYS 'WE CAN'T KILL OUR WAY OUT OF THIS MESS'
Really Romney? That's not what your neo-con advisers say.
*ROMNEY SAYS 'SYRIA IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US' IRAN IS ONLY ALLY
For another war that is.
*ROMNEY SAYS 'I WOULD TAKE ON STRONGER IRANIAN SANCTIONS'
Riiiight. At this point, stonger sanctions are a blockade and that's an act of war.
*ROMNEY SAYS IT IS NOT TIME TO DIVORCE PAKISTAN
Oh really? Most Americans want to cut all relations and funding with Pakistan. Pakistan is a dictatorship supporting real terrorists. Fuck em.
I sure he meant a strongly-worded letter.
Taped securely to the front of an AGM-86B.
Romney's religion forbids divorce. Instead, a Romneymerica will have Pakistan killed.
Long bullshit, short the people.
based on the unanimous decision of the MSN to give Obama the win, I must have been watching a different fight
minus 1 for admitting you watched!
I know, right?
I gave up watching debates when Gore was kicking the living shit out of W and the next day it was all 'i'd like to have a beer with W'.
The guy I think is the winner is always pronounced the loser by the MSM.
Spanish 10year is up 8 bps. Bring on the risk/off.
Obama is double-A, Romney is big-league. Romney has it in the bag. Romney wins pop vote by 5-6%, wins OH, replaces TOTUS, who dumps Michelle to hang wit Reggie.
If the takers re-elect their black messiah, me and the rest of the makers will leave and they can fight among themselves on making the middle class and poor pay their fair share.
Good-bye.
Yeah, FleaMarketPete, you seem a little rich and snooty.
Ever body knows, there's milk and honey on the other side.
Dear word cloud generator. Please include "uh" and "um" for Obama's word cloud.

Damn, that was a debate? Two stammering idots with no discernable differences on any important issues...
Obama=Romney=Losers
Voting for Romney.
7 up, 7 down
perfect
Long Drones short horses. Undecided about bayonets
My favorite is Moochelle glaring at the Romney clan in the post-debate family's huddle. You can tell she hates whitey.
Good catch otto. I saw that "sour puss" look as well. +1
True dat, she seemed shocked to be surrounded by those ofay.
Otto, Wookies have been known to rip people's arms off when they become upset. The Romney's had better give her a wide path....
Maybe she just dislikes saturated fat.
Obama long Big Bird, Women Binders, bayonets, and Newports. Short jobs, the economy, prosperity, America, white people, and entrepreneurship.
Awesome summary.
Tonight changed nothing. We are screwed,no matter who gets to waste our money.
Just automate factories and trade is no longer an issue.
Then we can automate bankers and politicians and milk off the http://www.udderworld.com
Neither represent the American people or Christianity for that matter, so Crook 1 or Crook 2 is elected. So what? Either way it's America down the tubes.
I believe the tubes are already clogged with previous chunks of America. That's the only reason it's taking so long to go down the dumper.
I watched a completely different political leader than either of the candidates running for U.S. president tonight, and she made more sense than either of the 2 candidates running for the U.S. presidency. Also, it looks as though Cristina Kirchner of Argentina has been reading zerohedge (or Shadowstats or one of the other critical internet blogs / sites). She talked about the expansion of the monetary base in Europe, the U.S., and England, and how the expansion was not used to invest in productive capacity or infrastructure. She mentions the influence of the major banks on policy in the West, and she notes how absurd the U.S. inflation numbers are. For those who know some Spanish and want to hear a different take on things... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhhjI6jNE0Q
Kirchner is a committed leftist, to "Kirchnerism" invented by her husband, which is a branch of the Peronist Youth movement. So, before you go quoting a rabid communista, give some context.
They are only communist if you define the charade that takes place on Wall Street every day as capitalism. Kirchner saved the nation from becoming a Randian wet dream - every man for themselves with the strong looting the last scraps from those too weak to resist. That would have lasted only as long as it took for all-out civil war, or another round of rule by military junta. The Argies alive today are glad you weren't calling the shots.
Tyler's, how are you even coherent right now??? Barry just got me WASTED.... Let me be clear, no more sanctions in nuclear pakistan while harbouring Bin Laden for this commander in chief... I'm out of energy.
Dub the debates and make them a comedy. Instead of thinking of the sorry choices we have it would be better to laugh at Obama and Romney.
Hell. why bother dubbing them? That would be like dubbing I Love Lucy.
All that is really needed is a laugh track.
Romney and Obama - the blind leading the blind!
I almost lost it when right on the heels of how bad, awful, terrifying Iran is, they both start talking about how we need to be a "friend" and "ally" to Pakistan because they have 100 nukes!
And what did Obama mean when he said (paraphrasing here) A threat to Israel's National Security is a threat to America's security?!?!?!? What's he saying here? We must grovel to Israel or Israel will attack us? (perhaps again?)
How did Pakistan come to be a nuclear power?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction
"Bhutto orchestrated nuclear weapons programme and rallied Pakistan's academic scientists to build the atomic bomb for national survival."
Seems to me that this Iran threat is kinda like Global Warming: nothing is proven, but OH MY GAWD, IT'S JUST AROUND THE CORNER...
Imminent Iran nuclear threat? A timeline of warnings since 1979
http://www.csmonitor.com/layout/set/print/content/view/print/422252
Pakistan became a nuclear power because the UK taught one of their scientists how. In all fairness, the UK was just trying to be nice. And, they are nice, and now Pakistan has the bomb.
Romney succeeded in giving me the creeps tonight. That guy is going to get people killed.
Over and over, they reiterate their love of Israel. What is with that?
you should see the senate debates tonight in NJ ........Fucking Israel is running and ruining this country !!!!!!!!!!!!

Whose side you gonna take? The ones that stone women if they get raped, or the ones that survived the Holocaust?
that comment is impossible to take seriously.
Da Joos will survive any drama they create.
How in the hell old are these Holocaust survivors? Anybody who was an adult during the purge is way dead, or close enough to undead that it doesn't matter to them or us. It's damned near 70 years ago.
NEITHER. I reject your "Either Or" way of thinking.
It's insane. It is solely due to biblical prophesies and evangelical interpretations of them. In other words, we have let our military posture and foreign policy be dictated by a group of people that think that the bible has to be read literally, and the earth is 6,000 years old. What could go wrong?
Agreed. I have been reading some background on this "Zionism" business. It's WEIRD.
Romney wins...Reaganesque tonight, reassured Mom and Pop Swingvoter that he was no Dr. Strangelove.
All Hail, Mitt.
You mean "Heil Mittler", ja?
are you sure they are of different parties and skin color? looks like identical twins to me.
The most remarkable thing about this debate is the disconnect between what Obama says and what he does. It is frightening. The other day, he said, "I believe in capitalism, I believe in self-reliance." Why does he say such things when it is obvious that he does not believe in anything that remotely resembles capitalism. The political culture of black people is and will always be collectivist and Mr. Obama's thought, word and deed can be predicted by his devotion to black people and black culture. The President of 13% of the people, but he gets every single one of their votes. So some folks agree with me.
Obama could swear to his acolytes that he wasn't (half)Black at all, and they would believe him.
It is scary. He is a great liar. Better than Slick Willie even.
He says what he doesn't mean to get elected, obviously.
Lame Duck Obama is not an option. Vote Romney, even if you have to hold your nose.
Why? It's the same guy anyway. Voting just makes people think this shit is somehow legitimate.
It is NOT the same guy. One will work to try to facilitate our ability to at least pursue financial liberty....one will, and is, preventing it...
Spare me all of you 'employed' folks or folks who are well off or have a big bankroll and loads of PM....I'm talking about the middle class, slowly falling into poverty like sands through the hourglass....slowly it is happening...one poor group, one elite...the elites get to visit cuba, get to fly all over, get to eat well and hang with JZ (who really cares, JZ sucks), gets to golf every other day, and on and on...meanwhile we get to work 2 or 3 jobs just so we can eat. The crumbling macadam, the papered windows of closed stores and businesses...I haven't seen it like this since the days of Carter...when there were dead cars on the side of the road because the 'government' didn't have money to move them. Thre IS a difference...even if they serve to enrich the same oligarchs...
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN THE MASSIVE CORRUPTION AND FRAUD IN THE ELECTION PROCESS. THE LAME STREAM MEDIA HAS REPORTED AN OBAMA WIN TWO WEEKS EARLY.
TALK ABOUT A MAJOR SCREW UP. ONE IS REMINISCENT OF BUILDING NUMBER SEVEN BEING REPORTED AS HAVING ALREADY FALLEN BEFORE IT ACTUALLY FELL. CHECK THIS OUT.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwvbBNohM3E
AS FAR AS THE ELECTION IS CONCERNED, WHY BOTHER. GO DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE INSTEAD AND DON'T WASTE YOUR ENERGY ON IT AT ALL. IT'S JUST A BIG FARCE.
PASS IT ON AND MAKE THIS PROOF OF FRAUD GO VIRAL.
.
Why is Iran not allowed to develop a nuclear weapon?
Does the United States have some sort of jurisdiction that overrules Iranian sovereignty?
Fuck Iran.
Fuck Israel, and the horse you ...... .
Look at what I see on my ballot.
