Romney vs. Obama Debate - Part II on Tuesday - let's score it!

[TitoFan]

I missed the first half hour, but the part I did watch, I think Obama did a much better job than he did in the first debate. After the debate ended, I saw the consensus was that Obama had won the debate.

Priceless moment: Obama calling out Romney on his claim about the President not calling the Libya attack a terrorist attack... then getting backed up by the moderator to some applause. Then... basically scolding Romney for implying that he (Obama) was prancing around in Las Vegas instead of handling the aftermath of the incident. Poor Romney got his head handed to him on that one.

Obama must've borrowed Biden's "cojones" for this debate.

Yea he got owned pretty hard with that, on spot fact checked. Overall a much better performance from Obama. Most polling coming out a clear win for Obama. His first debate was so poor I doubt it was strong enough to rebound all the ground lost, but certainly a step in the right direction for the Dems. Will take 3-4 days for the polls and news cycles to see what this debate really means to the numbers.

Now for a preemptive assessment of how the debate looked, both sides, from the perspective of VC:

[Gandalf]

Obama was far better. The man was simply asleep at the wheel in the first debate.

Amazingly, Romney was still trying to make his point after getting fact checked.... but Obama didn't loosen his grip, and with the help of the moderator moved on. Romney looked foolish on that topic.

Romney hammered Obama on a number of issues. Obama came across like he was pleading with people not to fire him.

How incredibly naive of me, to think you'd give Obama any credit at all.

Credit for what? Romney called him out on: his promises from 2008, his inability to create jobs, his cutting of the drilling permits, his pension having investments overseas, his huge fumble on the attack in Libya, and for not having a plan for the next 4 years.

Romney time and time again stated his 5 point plan and it might not be perfect but it's a PLAN...and Obama doesn't have one.

Just because BO did better in the 2nd debate then he did in the first doesn't necessarily mean it will help his slide in the polls, particularly with women. I'd be surprised if this stops Romney's momentum in fact it may just keep it going.

And please just give me 4 more years, so I can finish ruining what's left of this country. Why anyone would want 4 more years of this fucking clown is a mystery. If BO believes he's got America on the right track, i've got news for him, he's delusional.

Depends how you want to look at it, Lyle. Unemployment is starting to come down. One could argue that the momentum from the Bush years took a while to stop. Cutting drilling permits? You find that to be a selling point do you? You want another BP on the country's lap? Obama supports responsible energy policies.... not the mindless, petroleum-guzzling policies of "Bush/Romney". About Obama's pension having investment overseas? Again... you're nitpicking... and refusing to give Obama any credit. Goes right along with your typical inflexibility. It was a stupid point to make by Romney, who then got the comeback he deserves. The attack on Libya? Did you not read the previous posts or better yet.... watch the debate last night where Romney tried to politicize the incident and got fact checked across the face?

I'm only sorry you're going to be hugely disappointed come November.

Barack Obama said he would get unemployment to 5% by this time or his Presidency would be a 1 term deal....those are HIS OWN WORDS. Mitt Romney is just holding him to what he said and Mitt Romney said the difference between what we have right now 7.8% vs 5% is 9,000,000 jobs. I'm sorry if I don't believe Obama can get us there because he hasn't given me any signs of real progress.

Responsible energy policies?!?!?! Is giving $90 BILLION to "green energy" companies responsible...people complain about the breaks given to Exxon and big oil companies, $90 billion dwarfs their breaks and also WHERE ARE THE JOBS?!?!...so he pissed away $90 Billion for what? Cars that recharge their batteries using power from your house that gets power from coal plants that Obama wants to shut down? I'm sorry Tito, but to say Obama is responsible on energy is just idiotic. I'm for a clean environment but I also know oil & gas WORK we run on them if Solar & Batteries were viable everyone else would use them but they just aren't.

Fact checked on Libya? HAHAHA Oh you poor gullible person the Ambassador to the UN called the attacks in Libya "a spontaneous reaction" and that was the stance of Obama's White House for well over 2 weeks before they changed course.

[Kirkland Laing]

Obama doesn't have much of a plan to get the economy going again.

....you don't say

How about replying to the question I asked?

Which one would that be Mr. "I don't watch videos" ......was there a pie chart with it? Or some sort of graph? Because if there was that would really narrow it down.

What do you think Romney can do that Obama hasn't done? What is this five point plan you speak of?

Also, too. You don't think government is capable of doing anything better than the private sector. We've suffered a massive recession/economic collapse over the last few years and you expect government to solve this problem? How? And how can you believe that government should be able to solve the biggest economic collapse since the Depression in four years but they can't do anything else better than the private sector?

These questions also are to Mars Ax and anybody else attacking Obama and thinking Romney has all the answers.

[Kirkland Laing]

Watched with volume off (think Lampley calling a fight ) . Ate homemade tacos w/ guac and drank the beers. Advantage: me.

Who 'won'

Who do you think won with the sound off?

[Kirkland Laing]

Any "plan" that Romney/Ryan have already outlined for job growth, economic recovery, lowering the deficit and saving medicare & social security is better then what the "magic mulatto" has already tried and failed at.

In what ways?
