Debate thoughts

When I fired up my laptop, the first news headline that came up linked back to Romney being arrogant and his 47% claim. I truly wish Obama would have took that and ran with it on the debate.

I don't really know where to start...mostly I think everything Romney says is a damn lie! He pulls numbers out of a magic hat that mean nothing. He stands there with a crappy ass smile on his face as if he thinks its funny that voters are actually trusting stuff he says.

-"The rich will do fine regardless of who is president" Um, what the hell does that mean?
-Gas prices have doubled since Obama took office...
-"I like coal, clean coal" I didn't know there is a difference, yet Romney says he is pro-environment and talks about letting the pipeline go through.

I think it was great for Obama to call Romney out on his plans. The plans are there, but nobody knows what his plans are. Obama even stated that seems to be Romney's trend.
Obama started out thanking his wife for marrying him. Total emotional appeal that he is a sensitive guy. Talks about Americans fighting back on job loss.

I have always found it interesting when watching the debates (since Clinton) that on tv, the camera has both candidates the same height. Bush versus Kerry really showed that, as a society we seem to look at a shorter person being weaker. So for the millions watching tv, the candidates want the same height. Special podiums were built for Bush Jr, so he looked much taller than he was.

Romney states his tax plan has never been done....must be a reason for it never being done. Wants to lower gov spending, but wants to increase defense. To do this has no problem doing away with numerous government funded programs, yet will create more jobs doing so.

Romney states that individual responsibility works best. Enthymeme is that if it back fires, it's not his fault. Americans just didn't take the initiative. His entitlement section says nothing will change, but that is totally different in what he said at the spendy dinner.

Sad that Obama had to explain Romney's voucher system for the health care idea he wants to run with. It won't work, so that's why Romney's plans are all hush hush.

I was waiting for Romney to start spatting about faith and religion and God and the constitution and such. I just had to wait for it and he eventually did.

I don't think Romney really won this round. I wish Obama would have put Romney in his place, but by letting Romney lie through his teeth, it just made Obama look better in my opinion.

I think Obama's rhetoric approach was pretty good, it was more factual based in my eyes. He knew when to just let Romney dig his grave even deeper.
