and the mod did nothing. How can you debate someone who spews lie after lie regardless if you argue with him. I don't care what other say, Pres O did what he had to do. With that, Mittens looks like a asshole in the second debate and this time they had a mod.

Obama gave an excellent summary of the timeline and Rmoney's "brass" response was revealed to be nothing more than cheap, paper-backed aluminum foil!

There would have been a puddle at my feet if I were Romney.

There's the expression that eyes can "flash" with anger, that's exactly what Obama's did.

Because whether you're a Dem or a Rethug, four more years of Obama is going to benefit us all. Unfortunately, we have to make up for the slack of our less informed Rethug friends and neighbors. And I'd rather put up with a more prosperous nation and Rethugs complaining, kicking, screaming and temper tantrums, then thinking about an unprepared RR administration.

Two down, one tie, one win. One to go. Tonight was a very good night, for you, me, Obama and America.

GOTV. Now let's give the president a house and senate with a Democratic supermajority.

<snip>
No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.

And as for not calling it a terror attack by a terror organization... why would you want to tip your hand to your enemy that you know who they are, and that you're coming for them?

Its somewhat ironic that the ambassador would still be alive if we didnt help the 'rebels' overthrow the dictator.
