Obama=say anything to get re-elected
2016: Obama's America
See it
Romney is finished, your facts are wrong just like you guy Obama. Look at the debt idiot.
Obama told the most brazen lie of his campaign tonight in the debate when he said he called the attack in Libya an act of terror. For those of you Obama supporters who can read, go find the transcript. He was talking about 9/11 when he said, "No act of terror..." More proof? Look a couple words later when he says, "Here are 4 others who have died..." The act of terror comment was connected to the 9/11 talk, and then he goes back to talk about Libya. READ IT!!!!! CNN, MSNBC, and all the other Obama spin machines can spin it like they will. The American people KNOW it was a lie! Romney is going to win this election in a landslide and it will be a complete referendum on not only Obama's policies and the left in general, but also on the news media and all of their left wing lies. VOTE ROMNEY!!! Let's get back to conservative values instead of going down the road to communism.
Romney acted like an angry little brat on the monkey bars, who had his toys stolen from him at recess. Obama won this debate. It wasn't a blowout or anything, but Romney appeared angry, rude, and overly controlling; even to the point of cutting the moderator off, and getting far off on another tangent. He couldn't keep his composure and he became flustered too easily; not the signs of presidential leadership. Imagine what kind of war monger he would be and how the rest of the world thinks of him
Between Romney being a "car guy" salesman, and Ryan washing clean dishes, looking for a photo-op, the GOP ticket just comes off as too fake, and scripted. How are you going to attack 47% of the population behind closed doors, then kissing up to them on live TV? Fake, Come on people wake up.
Romney is finally exposed as the liar and flip flopper he is! Obama by a landslide!
Good job mr president you show the diffrence u my man
i find it amazing all these people who support obumma, you all realize the stimulus and autobailout were all started by bush right, soooo shouldnt you dislike that
but then again i rememeber war protesters when bush was around then suddnly disappeared when obumma elected even though the wars continued..... lets get a real commander in cheif, not the one who makes us not point our weapons at muslims cuz were afraid of offending them or were not aloud to carry loaded weapons in a combat zone thank you obumma
Romney = Jobs
Obama = more unemployment, bad economy
If I am a rich person I can beat limiting my deduction under Presedent Romney. I will pay off my mortegage if I have one, cut down or cutoff my charity contribution and enjoy atotal of 20% reduction of my income tax, it is a good deal.
This is the beginning of the end of the Romney campaign. Question is not if they lose but how much.
A landslide Obama victory or a slighlly lesser but essentially the same margin as 2008. Romney needs to save face and try to achieve the latter.
