i see what you did there....

obama won, not really that close.

don't take a 10c members word for it, look at the flash polls, obama won each by a range of 7 to 30 points. then look onward to the spin room;

'we held our own' was pretty standard gop talking point.

meanwhile, romney's general agreement w/obama on most policy was annoying, really? and finally, will you please take a position and stick w/it on Afghanistan?

i will say that i was VERY disappointed that we possibly 50-60% of time was spent on Israel, and Iran. ok, we get it, what about the 99% of the world?, how bout our neighbors to the north/south, and finally what about the indisputable fact of global climate change. fk u moderator for not having the balls to bring that up and possibly let both candidates choke on something both parties have criminally neglected during this campaign.

end of rant, obama still won!

Obama made Romney look like a fool. One notable response from Obama about Romney's criticism about the current state of the Army was something like "well, we don't have as many bayonets and horses as we used to, because it's not 1916 anymore!".

Obama doesnt know our military cause Marines still use bayonets! LOL

marines do not carry bayonettes into battle...

Yes they do. When I deployed to Iraq I was issued a bayonet for my M-16.

US Army dropped bayonet training from boot camp in 2010.

Besides being erroneous as all get out this thread's title is missing two things:

THESE and these !!!

And please, don't anyone tell me I'm not taking this thread seriously. Of course I'm not. :roll:

Yeah.

I was hoping for some kind of good discussion on this.

Fuck me and my naivete!

Looked like Romney conceded foreign policy to Obama, he agreed with him on most issues. As to the OP's title.......well, he has a right to an opinion.

How could anyone watch the debate w/ game 7 of the NLCS on???

And you call yourselves Americans ...

:nono: :fp:

ridiculous thread.. I respect your opinion but Obama smashed him on international policy and rightly so.. Obama was on the attack but everyone expected him to win.

i flipped between NLCS, MNF and debate ... once it was 5-0 ... that game was over and the bears/lions game was awful ... actually found the debate to be the most entertaining ...

i think it's really unfortunate for americans that the political process and the level of discussion in the public has degenerated so much ... i think obama could have become a great president ... one who would truly be admired domestically and internationally ... one that people could be proud of ... unfortunately, the public is far too dumb (for lack of a better word) and this partisan shell of a game is what we're left with ...

Oh man that was so good! Both did a dynamite job!

I learned really a lot and could picture Romney doing the job
and watching and listening to our President
I remembered why I voted for Obama in 2008, he commands well....
did he seem a bit defensive to anyone though?

I think the debate for me was tied up probably cause I like them both
and it makes the decision even harder.
I saw interviews with others like myself still trying to pick...
it's a tough one for the true independents and for those who pick from the heart.

He had to be defensive: he's the incumbent with an actual track record.

we could argue that Romney is better suited to a debate on economy for various reasons but Obama has become a really strong performer when talking about international policy. I think we has the right mixture of leadership to the world, strong to the enemies and compassion. I will admit Romney did better in the debates then I thought he would but the notion that he was close to Obama in the third debate doesn't add up.

I didn't think Obama was defensive it was the other way around.

My opinion is its a pretty fine track record so why be defensive?
Especially since they have such similar foreign policy.

well first off Romney called Obama's world tour an 'apology tour' so it needed to clarify that comment.. my god that line is getting old and it's so untrue.

What I mean is, Romney was obviously going to find/use whatever he could to attack the president's record. Romney has nothing to defend. It's a lot easier for the challenger (especially one who has only been governor and has no real foreign policy experience) to come out swinging in the foreign policy debate.

Obama is very strong, his persona is likable, trustworthy, compassionate...
again my opinion is based on the fact I like Romney also so the debates have been
pretty much equal for me. Last nights was my favorite though of the three.
