Rubber match....

Peggy Nooner is telling Mitten's to divert the attention from foreign policy to the economy by drumming up the idea that without a powerful economy you can't have a powerful military....hawgwersh. I don't recall her telling Shrub he better not spend us into oblivion with a war based on a lie.

Besides, Mitten's is no military guy. He's a boss....not a Commander in Chief. He has no background in foreign affairs and his convention speech indicated a void when it comes to topics and supporting our vets.

Spoiler alert....we got Osama.


Mitt....biking around during Vietnam.....

I heard someone defending Obama on the radio claiming that Romney's policies would be the same as his. And then went on to call Romney a war monger, and she was afraid Romney would get us into a war. Really?

Obama's biggest problem of this campaign is that he not only has to run against a tough opponent, but he has to run against/from himself.

Romney has in fact criticized Obama for not doing enough on Iran, when in fact the only room left for escalation is war. Unless you count bluster as somehow doing more. On Syria, we could give the rebels weapons, but there are apparently a lot more radical muslims in Syria than there are/were in Libya.

This third debate demonstrates how unworthy RMoney would be as President.

Liar Liar.... http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/jan/18/mitt-romney/mitt-romney-says-us-navy-smallest-1917-air-force-s/

Mitt's borderline. All he's consistent on are lies and errors.

Well that was..interesting. I'm not sure how Obama's snark will play, but I enjoyed it. ;) Romney seemed to melt down for a few minutes there, but overall wasn't too terrible once he got past his "I'd do what my opponent has been doing, but more".

I think the problem is that this was supposed to be a foreign policy debate, but Romney strayed from it.  Now, not to detract, Obama followed, but the fact that the Repubs were evidently in the spin room 10 minutes before the debate was over is not good news for the robot.

There.  Fixed your post.

There needs to be one more debate:
Tonight's Mitt Romney who agrees with Obama on issue after issue vs. South Carolina debate Mitt Romney who demonized Obama's policies on issue after issue.    :o

The job seems to do that to all of them in recent history.  It could also be that they are old enough that the change in appearance would have happened anyway.

No kidding. W looked worn as well. Maybe because both were "youthful" from the outset.

I can only imagine what would happen to Huckabee if he were President. Did you see what happened to him as governor of Arkansas? ;)

I started a drinking game. I took a drink each time Romney said the word: "tumult" and each time the President used the honorific: "Governor"
