I'm not feeling optimistic about Obama winning another term.

thelio

I am disappointed in Obama this debate. he really did seem tired and like he was out of gas and just running on fumes. but atleast he didnt just spout out lies just to have something to say.

we need Obama! This country couldnt handle someone like Romney. i would be very afraid.

Sidenote: Maryland has the top rated schools because of the politicians and diplomats has to send their kids somewhere. Most of them attend schools in md. Montgomery county, md is one of the riches areas in the country, therefore has some of the top schools as well. Obama's kids go to a top school in md. i was very shocked when i discovered md was top rated, when schools in Baltimore city is bottom of the barrel.

Unfortunately, I agree. Many people are looking for a reason to vote for Romney, and they got it last night. The first time the candidates were on stage together, mano a mano, Obama was totally pwned. Romney actually looked presidential, whereas Obama seemed to have his mind elsewhere (anniversary dinner with Michelle, perhaps?)

No excuses for last night's showing. Even without the luxury of 3 days of nonstop preparation, Obama had any number of easy shots that he inexplicably chose not to take.

I couldn't even sleep last night, I was so distraught. Hope I'm wrong, but I think this was a major turning point in the race.

Lol. What would this place be without Turtles!

Anyway Obama was bad... really bad. I had to turn it off. But it doesn't matter for me and my vote.

Damn, damn, damn...I fell asleep last night before 9 and woke up at midnight. It sounds like the debate would've just made me mad anyway.

Um....anybody else has to work on their anniversary, birthday, etc unless they have vacation leave and want to use it, are permitted to use it or the special day falls on their day off, so I don't see the big deal with this.

I think Obama did the right thing by playing it low key. He's the President already & probably did a million things that day. A lot of Obama's body language said "you don't know the half of what this job consists of & the goals you will never accomplish even if you do beat me".

Mitt said everything he could to pander to independents. He doesn't talk like that when he is in front of the republican base getting applause. There really was no need to mention the 47% because it was in the back of the viewers' minds. They were waiting for info they already had. He's an entitled guy looking to take away entitlements from others. Which is an awkward stance in my opinion.

I also don't like that they manipulate numbers & say things like "ppl are taking more money from government than they are paying in taxes". They want you to think of welfare recipients. In reality all of the civil servant salaries in the U.S. can be considered money from the government. Are they moochers? I think not. Even those on social security. They are withdrawing on money they contributed. They worked hard all their lives & many of them lost money during the recession, come on.

I'm annoyed with the fact that Mitt & Paul think the American people are dumb enough to fall for some of the things they say.

I think Romney took this debate, but I am still undecided. I realized politics is like a trial; each side has their "expert" and each expert has a different opinion. You just have to figure out which one you believe.

I also think it is easier to be the attacker than the attackee. Obama should have come across a lot more aggressive and confident in himself than he did. I was waiting for Romney to say something "stupid" that he would have to backtrack today on, but that never happened.

I give Romney a point for drs don't want more medicare patients because of Obamacare (which is a shame but true), but I give Obama a point on the voucher system. I can see private health insurers one day having control, and at that point the government loses any control (which could be bad).

A friend just wen thru this. She is not catholic and her husband is. They had to go thru special couseling and sign all this papers, and get "authorization" to have the ceremony at a catholic church. it was all a hassle. I think if you have enough money you can bypass this. I know Alec baldwin just got married in a catholic church which is a no-no for most folks because he is divorce. niether of my two divorced aunts could do it, they had to go to the justice of the peace.

If one of the people is Catholic and divorced, all you have to do is get the church to consider your marriage annulled under the eyes of the church. You are still legally (under the eyes of the law) divorced; just a way for the church to get around it. I know this because my husband's ex-wife had their marriage "annulled by the Catholic church."

My son was married in a Catholic Church in Guatemala. He actually had to convert and be baptized. He didn't really convert - he's agnostic and probably always will be, but he had to do the baptism thing in order to be married in the "eyes of God" for his wife.

I do think a slight edge can be given to Romney, but anybody in his position would have had an advantage over an incumbent as they are in a good position to exploit their weaknesses. However, like RCW previously stated, Obama was sort of in a catch-22. If he were as aggressive as Romney, people would have viewed him as an "angry black man" and unfortunately, whites would have been threatened by that.

Wait...Romney called Obama a boy? How I need the receipts cause I had to run to the store for orthopedic inserts before 6am LOL so I missed the rest. Don't you know boy is not a word to address a black man by. Was it a "listen here boy" or "you wanna of my boys" boy?

See, it may be my personal bias but I thought Romney just came off kind of condescending and douchey. Harping on about companies that employ 1/4 of the workforce. Ok? So where does the other 3/4 (in other words a majority of this nations workers) work?

Also, they mentioned poverty what, like once, maybe twice?
