57. I finally got to see the debate

Thu Oct 4, 2012, 04:13 PM

Oct 2012

from last night. I had to work and couldn't get off and then had school today.

I think President Obama did a great job. All I am hearing today is that Mitt the Twit just lied then entire time. How is that going to be looked upon positively by anyone other then the brain dead drones that follow this fool? I forgot which famous person said this as I am not to good with history or names but the saying goes, "Never interrupt your enemy when they are making mistakes." I believe this is the strategy that President Obama was using last night. Rmoney came off as being rude, hyper, out of control and people saw through his lies and his clown act of pulling "facts" and so called "plans" out of his ass last night. We had a discussion about the debate in school today. I couldn't follow it to well since I did not have a chance to see it till now but pretty much everyone in my class agreed that Rmoney was a pompous jerk who just thinks he is DUE to become President / he doesn't have to earn it by earning the people of America's respect.

I agree but why is he saying this now? tularetom Oct 2012 #4
