Does being executive of a state and running the Olympics give you more experience than being the President for four years?
Consider yourself awakened...Romney has that.

Who's we? And this is what I replied to:
Looks like you're indeed referring to his business experience as a plus when it comes to running a country's economy.
He was still selling "trickle down" last night. Then he was explaining how he was going to increase spending and cut taxes at the same time and make everything deficit neutral.
Dude is desperate and lying like there's no tomorrow. Obviously, looking at the race right now, I don't blame him.
Again, if Obama had been President for the last four years, you'd have a point. Unfortunately, he's done everything BUT lead this country as its chief executive. He can't even defend his own policies...and, well, he kind of shot himself in the foot, back in 2008, by vilifying George W. Bush over every policy he eventually adopted and built on; from the war on terror to the Patriot Act to Executive Orders to the debt -- Barack Obama has exceeded the levels at which he was willing to go on national television and call George Bush unpatriotic.
It just makes him look disingenuous (at best) and incompetent (at worst).
Fast & Furious is creeping up to bite him. The Middle East -- you know, that part of the world Barack Obama jetted off to for his first major foreign policy speech to "repair" the damage Bush had done between us and the Muslims -- is about to explode, literally. Our embassies and consulates are under attack and our diplomats are being murdered...and the best Obama can do is blame a stupid video when, we're finding out, he knew all along it was a planned attack by al Qaeda -- of which the administration was warned and for which the Benghazi consulate had requested increased security (which was denied).
Obama has screwed up just about every aspect of the job and you want to point to that as the experience that lifts him above Romney?
It's certainly not a minus.
He was selling pro-growth government policies that will allow the private sector to increase employment by about 12 million jobs. That's not "trickle down" (a term never used by a conservative or any respectable economist with an understanding of supply-side economics).
Not even "Tingles" Matthews or "Million Dollar" Maher agrees with this assessment. Obama got his ass handed to him by Romney last night.
Romney was clearly better prepared and brought his "A" game. Obama looked tired and out without a clear strategy on how to handle Romney's responses. This could very well be the moment Romney was waiting for and he took full advantage of it. Unless Obama comes back strong in the 2nd debate it could be the game changer of all debates. I could sense it from the start.
Joe, Obama has no strategy for defending his administration; his record is indefensible and he knows it.
That's different from "put a bit hole"... keep spinning...
Based on what? Anybody can pull numbers out of thin air. Heck, both did last night.
Last time this country was running "trickle down" was not long ago and put us in this mess. Not sure how he thinks pushing that is a winning combination, tbh.
That's a different topic. Already stated I thought Romney did better, IMO.
I'm sure Obama will get a make-up next time. It will be a town hall format where "questions are submitted by the audience" and the moderator gets to decide which questions to ask. Want to bet the questions chosen will be slanted against Romney?
Not so sure about that. Mitt basically can promise the world, since he doesn't have to defend the last 4 years... but that was known since the get go.
Man, msnbc is butthurt. They are spinning big time. Our st political forum posters generally leans left or pull a Scott el nono and pretend to go down the middle but at the end of the day they bleed blue. With that said I am proud of all of you that participated in BRs poll and voted for the OBVIOUS winner. God bless
Gold for a few at the expense of jobs for many.
I gotta say that seeing you with hope is always entertaining jack. I still remember when you were sure the mandate was uncons utional. Good times.
Heck, he pretty much fired Jim Lehrer last night.
Chris Mathews on MSNBC called it right. Obama lost it and he didn't pull any punches.
Heck, he pretty much fired Jim Lehrer last night.
President was smart enough to know that Romney would say anything and did not want to go in the lying mad with him. anyone who is willing to say anything and lie to get there can not be debated with. if Obama came out swinging, he would of been label as the "angry black man" .that's exactly what they wanted but didn't get it. it was easier for mitt to win because the bar was set SO low.. Why harm yourself against a fool who can talk himself into his own grave? Common sense.. you can see why Obama was so uninterested and say only what needed to be said...
If you think Mitt can win, this might be a good time to put some money on him...

Your partisan hackery never ceases to amaze me.

huh? i voted for mitt in the poll, he clearly won this "debate". i'm not into politics like that anyways. just gave my 2 cents.
He does like firing people!Heck, he pretty much fired Jim Lehrer last night.
...And right to his face "Trump" style!
I've heard others with this same take and I agree that well may have been his plan but it sure won't help explain how weak he came off.
Brother, I'm not hoping that romney won the debate, he won it. It's over. It was entertaining to watch Obama go into the fetal position. Obama has zero chance in these debates. He has 4 years now. He can't escape it. Plus he can't talk without a script.
Considering you're butthurt cuz your boy lost last night I will entertain you a bit longer. My stance on the "mandate" had very little to do with the cons ution. There were courts that said it was unconstutional, brother. And the Supreme Court was 5-4. My problem I had/have with it is the same most Americans do is we don't want it, we can't afford it but obama rammed it though anyways. God bless
I actually think that Obama is such a narcissist that he never dreamed that Romney would come after him that hard. He thought he would handle him like he handled McCain. I expect Cancy Crowley to throw him some soft pitches next debate and he will hit back at Romney harder.
"Obama is such a narcissist"
and Gecko is such humble, sympathetic, altruistic St Theresa in predatory asset stripper clothes.
