Ok, I was actually planning on switching out my summer clothes for winter clothes while watching the debate, but louie called me at work. So here I am. And I'm sure she will be soon. And it's too depressing switching out the summer clothes if Obama is a pussy again. So i'm going to open up a porter, eat some leftover Chinese food and blog away!
I think Candy Crowley is going to be so much better than Jim Lehrer!
124 comments:
Is it just me, or has Candy Crowley gotten a makeover? i will later try and put up an old photo of her if i can find it. She had something done for sure.
I'm as nervous as if Obama was my own family member.
I'm watching CNN coverage right now since Candy is from there and Anderon Cooper is on the panel, in spite of Wolf Blitzer's presence. But Brian Williams is on NBC, so i might switch later to see what he has to say.
Wolf tells us the audience is made up of undecided voters. Really? I don't believe that many uncommitted voters exist.
Here we go! Gentlemen start your engines and i want to hear that engine ROARING, Obama! No pussy hybrid, scooter engine either. I want a Gran Torino engine!
Romney is promising to hire the first college kid who asked the question about his future and career after he graduates. Romney is saying he will relieve this kid's debt and get him more jobs. I get so pissed when Romney talks about how is the one who is fixing the middle class. Romney will maybe get him a job at Bain.
Your future is bright, says Obama. Ohhh, i already don't like this answer. He's bringing up the auto workers and how Romney said let them go bankrupt. I don't think this kid wants a job at with the United Auto Workers anyway if he went to college.
I don't like his answer so far.
signing on we're watching the pbs version.
Romeny's answer was no answer
glad she is asking follow up questions.
wish i had a glass of wine
don't want to hear about Detroit anymore
oo oo obama's calling romeny on his "stuff"
Candy is asking for a better answer. First Romney. What can we do for those long term unemployed. People like my brother in construction. We have fewer people working today than when he (Obama) took office.
Romney is talking about his 5 point plan. He's speaking well. this scares me. He's explaining why he said that he would let Detroit go bankrupt. He is saying Obama did that because it was necessary so he's making it sound like Obama is blaming him for the same thing.
obama says this is not true. Obama says he has a 1 point plan and that's to make sure those at the top play by their own rules.
Good, he's at least looking at Romney. Talking about how workers' pensions are stipped away while the big wigs still make their money. We have been fighting for four years to get out of the mess.
Yay, louie, you're here!
We should all be watching on PBS! I just changed the channel.
ooo romeny is being rude to Candy
who is Candy anyway?
Obama: Romney's plan is to let the oil companies write the energy policies.
I expect the new energy sources to be built in the United States.
Romney, let's listen to the polcies as opposed to the rhetoric. Oil and gas are down for drilling on federal lands. We use our oil, coal, gas, etc.
This is boring. I don't use much gas since i work only 2 miles from home and fill up only once a month.
I want to talk about women's rights! When does that come on?
She's been on CNN for awhile now. I really like her.
Obama: very little about what Romney just said is untrue. I wish he would just say he's a fucking liar. i know he can't. but i wish he could.
Romney doesn't like coal. He lied about that too says Obama. Maybe Romney got some in his Christmas stocking once.
Romeny hates the spotted owls and all birds
and he lies
Romney is challenging Obama about what he cut on federal lands. Obama says not true. Woo woo.
I'm still bored with this topic of drilling, but i like his fiestiness.
Obama says production is NOT down. I might want to check the fact finder's report on this tomorrow.
Romney says the American people don't believe that. I'm starting to realize that Romney is a bully and it's not hard to picture him in college when he had his buddies hold that kid down while he chopped off his ponytail because he didn't like it.
candy is doing a good job
no to the canadian pipeline
He does HATE ALL BIRDS. He mentioned the 25 birds and some block on the migratory groups.
Candy don't let him. Romney is trying to butt in again!
don't do it, Candy.
I'm losing respect for her now too.
I'm bored on energy AND detroit
ron is swearing at romney and candi
No women that old should wear her hair like that.
Romney is talking again about lowering middle class income tax. This makes me want to barf like he is the middle class champion. This really makes me pissed.
I can't see your comments one at a time - they come all at once. I have to admit though it takes me a long time to post because i have trouble proving i'm not a robot
ron wants to crush romney's balls
I would be swearing too, but it's kind of weird when you're alone since Brian is out of town for a work thingie.
Why do i not have to prove i'm a robot? Because it's my blog? I used to have problem with posting. But once you're in, it seems like it should work.
I have to keep scrolling up to see you. And my netbook is slow.
MOVE ON from the taxes.
Good thing i type 200 words a minute.
hahaha... i sound like Romney!
obama is looking a lot better tonight
romney is looking more like a bully
I'm growing my hair like that lady
yeah. Obama, it's always a good idea to bring up Clinton when talking about the economy. Let's go back to those tax times.
hahaha... and you have to dye it that horrible yellow.
Romney totally comes off like a bully.
this reminds me of junior high kids
are you lying to me now or were you lying to me before
oo now he cares about women
Romney is now pretending he cares about small business. He too was in the private sector. Like Bain was a small business.
who all cares about the estate tax. are you looking at inheriting a big estate? nobody i know is
FINALLY bring up romney paying only 14% in taxes!
hahaha. estate tax? i will be lucky if my own parents don't drain me from my hard earned savings. I will be so pissed if that happens knowing all this time i could have been buying more shoes or purses instead of saving.
But then again, i don't want them coming to live with me either.
My own personal Field of Screams:
If Romney says it, they will believe.
ron needs a stop watch. he thinks romney has had twice the amount of time to respond
he is talkie over candie
Obama: in case someone doesn't know this was raised by a single mom.
He's answering the question about women earning less money.
The Lilly Ledbetter bill was one of his first bills he signed. I heard about Lilly Ledbetter!
i think ryan voted against the lillie ledbetter bill
Candy needs to cut romney off better when he tries to do keep talking.
If ryan did vote agains that, i wished Obama had brought that up.
Romney: if you are going to have women in the workforce they need flexibility. ....because she needs to get home to make dinner.
OOOkkkkaaaay......How come men never ask to do that?
And what do you think would happen if they did?
We have not come far enough.
some of romney's best friends are women
will they be anxious to hire women? he should be eager to hire women
ron's language is getting worse
He's not even talking about single moms either. He really thinks women need to be home to cook for their kids. Why doesn't he mention about men to work flexibly too for families? Romney thinks it's a woman's job to do that part.
I like that Obama is bringing up Lilly L. again and saying Romney said he would get back to that later without responding at a different time when he was asked.
I picked up on that flexibility thing I come home late and still make dinner
no obama has moved into planned parenthood and contraceptives
hahaha... i don't think i've ever heard Ron cuss.
Is he saying Damn?
FINALLY women's issues, family issues.
susan katz is groovey
bad mouthing bush, nice questions
and i quote " he's fucking lying"
This women is saying she blames some of the Bush administration. What is the biggest difference between you and George W.?
Good questions. And Romney is trying to go back to the other question.
I think he's making a mistake in not answering this woman's question. He is saying that every woman should have access to contraception.
We are different people he says. He has A FIVE POINT PLAN. Bush couldn't even count that high!
hope obama calls him on the double-deficit lie
I like it when our husbands cuss like that because neither one of them cuss that much.
Romney is not really saying much about how he is different than Bus so i hope Candy calls him on it. He's going on about Obamacare.
ron wants to be alone in a room with romney for 5 minutes with the door locked
clicked on reply to this comment by mistake.
now obama is saying the ways george bush is BETER than romney
If this were a drinking game we would drink on:
1. romney's FIVE POINT PLAN
2. Obama's new 5 million jobs.
3. Any bird references!
What else?
Obama: There are some things where Romney was different from Obama. he is talking good stuff about Bush, that he never tried to eliminate planned parenthood funding.
Kandie is growing a pair
It was brilliant to bring up how Bush was better than Romney.
Obama is listing his own good points i.e. catching Osama, reining in Wall Street (NOT Sesame Street!) etc.
i feel bad that i don't care as much about the economy as i do the social issues. I know it's all related
got a good education flyer in the mail yesterday
I hate how Romney can't wait to get in there and tell more lies. I hate that smirk on his face even more than i ever hated George W.
I can't believe i can't stand Romney more than i couldn't stand Bush.
Romney is telling Mike JOnes that you will have 4 more years of the same.
He's saying that obama hasn't been doing what he said he would do. He mentions doubling the decifict again. If Obamacare is implemented it will be worse. He doesn't understand what it takes. He created 5 million jobs but also lost 5 million jobs.
Field of Screams!
now romney is for a new immigration plan
maybe because his dad was born in mexico
what is it about him that makes you want to smack him?
even more than bush
I got a Mike Carrell ad in the paper today and ick. But it had a really cute kid on it. Very effective. More ick. I can't stand that guy.
I also got an LL Bean catalog. I want off of their list. I don't shop at LL Bean.
It's true. i do want to smack him.
We're saying the same thing. I detest Romney more than i detested Bush.
kandi how come obama can't reply to the last litany of lies?
told you he would bring up his dad born in mexico
you seem like an ll bean gal to me
i think he seems worse than bush because you could sort of write bush off as stupid
we are not all immigrants wish obama had mentioned the indigenous people
Lying sack of shit. I'm on Hydrocodone for some dental work I had done today. My mouth no longer hurts but my head does and it is Romney's slimy self on my set.
Y'all Obama is really a much better speaker than this. I saw him live in 2008 and he was outstanding...he seems a little nervous today.
And jackass behind him makes me want to vomit. Joe Biden needs to come out and slug him.
oops, i missed the immigration stuff because i went to heat up my Chinese food and then went to the bathroom. But i used Brian's bathroom and then found out he had NO TOILET PAPER on the roll. What is it with guys not loading up the toilet paper?
I bet Romney never changed a toilet paper roll ever in his life. But i bet Obama did.
who are the dudes in ties off to the right?
Kandi needs to cut romney off when he doesn't follow her direction
susieatl is here!!!!! YAY!
joe biden would have to wait in line after my husband kicks his ass
i love joe
Obama is trying to get kandi to make romney follow the rules
Shut up Romney.
Why does Candy give Romney the floor mjore often.
Obama: your pension is bigger than mine.
Candy just sent Romney to his corner. Good for her!
I want to slap Mitt. In the worst way!!!
I would love to have Joe have a go at Romney.
i would be pissed if i were there with my question and had to hear romney go on and on about past questions
i like that cary gave a shout out to his pals at works.
tough question though - obama can't answer it
i would love to have susiet have a go at romney, or you jo, or me for that matter
I will vote for Obama but he screwed up in Libya. I'm glad he is finally taking the heat for that.
Good that Obama makes a good answer about how romney took advantage and politicized the assassinations of the Libya US assembly people. And Romney responds making it sound like a cover up of a terrorist attack.
Obama, don't throw Hillary under the bus on Libya!
hillary took responsibility for the embassy mess but obama says the buck stops with him. good man
Good answer Barack! She works for you. You have to take the responsibility.
Romney is an asshole. I'm glad Obama is finally getting pissed. That is the man I voted for! KICK HIS ASS!!!
it was a mess, no question. romney needs to let it go
Can-dee says check the transcript
Why do so many of these women asking these questions have such bad hair?
I like seeing obama mad too!
haha, i love how you keep re-spelling Candy's name, louie!
AK47s. Can't we all agree that no person needs these guns? As a liberal i support the Second Amendment too. I even want to get a gun myself.
romney likes assault weapons
The first person i want to shoot at is Mitt Romney.
WHAT DID I MISS? He went from AK47s to talking about families needing a mom and a dad?
we need moms and dads raising kids
it's the two parent family that prevents the use of assault rifles.
those gun toting kids raised by two dads are a rampant problem
Field of Screams!
He is throwing up a smoke screen about Fast and Furious and that debacle.
Candy is reminding him of the question.
Good for her.
Romney banned assault weapons?????
Bwahahahahahahaha...he's such a sack of crap.
gun toting kids and two dads...hahahaha.
Shaking your head and smiling, Mitt? Didn't the repugs say that Joe was rude for doing that?
I think his magic underwear is getting too tight.
jo maybe we should take shooting lessons. we could do the archery thing, but maybe you can cash in your gift certificate for one at a shooting range. we can use ear protection. I'm all about protection, that's why i'm for obama, he's pro planned parenthood.
we all love parents and schools
especially community colleges obama's off topic now
Who on PBS will do the post debate commentation? I need to find the right channel. I might go look for Brian williams on NBC....
It took awhile, but i feel like Obama's got game now. he just pressured Candy to let him keep speaking.
i know susie. Romney can do what Biden did but Biden will be the jerk!
I love the idea of taking shooting lessons. I've actually been considering it for real. That and archery lessons. That place is somewhere near your house. It's going to be my new retirement hobby.
Then i have more than one way to kill people if i need it!
the audience looks unhappy with this whole affair
i wonder what kind of rules they had to agree to follow
i just noticed the timer, has it been there all along?
Do you think that Romney dyes the top of his head and leaves those gray temples? I'm thinking he should be more gray on top than he is.
a kid carried a bow an arrow onto one of our campuses today. wonder if he had lessons.
ok we'll start with archery and move to hand guns, or assault rifles if romney's president
brian williams maybe better than the pbs folks. They usually do ok but I don't know who they are except for the npr guy. He doesn't look like i thought he did
nothing like a radio guy on tv
That damn Hunger Games movie is going to make criminals of our kids.
The timer was up every once in awhile, but i hadn't noticed it lately.
Obama: wants to close loopholes so they can't move jobs to China. The way we create jobs is to double exports and change our tax codes.
ooo i like barry's questiosn
barry was dressed nice too
Barry Green: i like this question: What misperception do people have of you.
Romney: i care about 100% of the American people.
hey???? then who was that on the Mother Jones video?
I'm a guy who wants to help. My passion flows from the fact that i believe in god.
i don't think that was a misperception.
Is that an answer?
I need to go to bed. I really don't like Mittens.
However, who knows what he would actually do as President..he hasn't kept his stories straight since he was nominated. Heck..even Newt said you can't debate a dishonest person.
Romney did NOT answer that question.
Obama's turn: a lot of this campaign is that i think government creates jobs. I believe the free enterprise system is the greatest. I believe in risk takers being rewarded. I believe that people should have a fair shot and play by the same rules. So no, he's not about only government creating the jobs.
I believe Romney is a good man. But i also believe when he said behind closed door that 47 percent of the country refused person responsibility.
AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm glad i'm not there in person. i couldn't sit still and look interested that long
Obama is not really answering it really either. sorry Barry.
They used that question to make closing statements.
I'm so glad that he brought it home with the 47 percent.
just saw a lady, the one with the bad blonde hair, get an autograph from romney
everybody is getting romney's autograph
obama too
those are not undecided voters
susie, i'm glad you jumped on board!.....
I am watching the NBC channel now because i love Brian Williams and David Gregory and Chuck Todd.
Obama did what he needed to do. I didn't think he got shellacked like the media painted in the first debate but this was a better Obama.
I like watching the twitter crawls at the bottom from Politico and David Gregory. And something called TheFix.
I imagine they will call this a draw .
Tom Brokaw is on here too!
I'll be signing off soon. My computer is starting to hang up a bit anyway.
i don't care about the wallmart moms
this is it for me too
My favorite quote: Obama: "I don't look at my pension, it's not as big as yours, so it doesn't take as long."
ohhhh shoot you guys I looked at the site too early so I thought ya'll weren't blogging tonight. Jo - I called u and left a message in your black hole message thingy. I was going to come over in person. Obama was great tonight. Whew!
Oh julie. i didn't know i had a message. But i see you now on caller ID. You should have called me at work where i am best found by phone! I was home alone watching it with my computer, as you can see. Did you watch it online like Kylee did? I just got an email from her. She loved it too!
I thought it was very good.
And only one mention of Big Bird!!!
I got an email from Obama and just sent him some more money. (I didn't send any after the first one.) But he earned it today!
I also bought a new coat online from Nordstrom just now because i need a new one to go doorbelling in this Saturday! Don't worry, louie. I didn't get the same one as yours so we won't look like twins. And mine is more of a coral red. It's an anorak....or however that is spelled.
I was so offended about what Romney said about hiring women. He said businesses need to be more flexible so women can go home early to make dinner for their families. I nearly fell out of my chair. Then, he said that, under his economic plan, businesses will be hiring so many new people, they'll even hire women.
He's such a condescending ass. If he wins, we're in real trouble, ladies.
i mentioned that in here somewhere. VERY sexist. Would he allow such flexibility for all employees regardless of gender. He likes the little woman at home cooking dinner and taking care of picking up the kids, etc. And changing the rolls on the toilet paper too!
What i failed to mention was the now infamous "Binder of Women"... I remember the comment and started to add it but i realized i did not know what he was talking about because i had not been paying attention at that point. I think i was reading louie's comments and trying to keep up the blog.
For the final debate i'm not going to blog. I find that i miss too much! LOVED catching up on Morning Joe today and can't wait for Jon STewart.
http://factcheck.org/2012/10/factchecking-the-hofstra-debate/
Factcheck.org's site is really good about clearing up last night's disagreements about who is right.
i'm gonna change this soon, i think tomorrow, but for now i like having a blog with 124 comments. hahahaha, even if 105 of them are mine!
