Support NeoGAF

[Grinchy]

Obama hit him again for being vague. Good.

 

[Shouta]

It's like Romney is just shotgunning stuff and hoping something sticks. I swear he's corrected himself not to offend people a bunch of times.

 

[Technosteve]

lol romney bipartisanship lol

 

[CitizenCope]

Didn't think Romney was horribad as GAF believes.

[saelz8]

Fuck off, Lehrer!

I said, goddamn!

 

[EatinOlives]

Romney has to get the last word in every time because that appeals to people who are from his flavor of culture whether they're rich or not. The strong, stern, aggressive father figure. Whose hand you fear, who lays down the law, and always gets the last word in. Nobody ever speaks after daddy has spoken.

It's not about reason, it's about base appeals to stupidity and backwards culture.

Indeed. It's about yelling harder, louder, and getting the last word. Last word = I win, at least for Romney.

[NYR]

Romney won. But both sucked. Disappointing.

 

[Whiskeymatt]

Nobody wins, Jim Lehrer loses. What an awful debate.

 

[Kusagari]

Obama namedropping Bin Laden.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Mitt really surprised me.


Also, I'm watching this on YouTube that's streaming via my PS3, which I'm controlling with my tablet...crazy.

 

[Forever]

A very strong answer from Obama there.

 

[malfcn]

So what I got from the debate: "Cutting the funding for Big Bird will pay for tax cuts for everyone."

 

[Master Thespian]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

Flip flop and details.

BOOM

 

[Sealda]

Obama is rambling real bad

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

Obama: Go Eagles!

 

[Incendiary]

Terry Crews

I'd watch that debate.

 

[Baconsammy]

I'm going to make Jim's attempts to interrupt my ring tone. "Thaaaa thaaaaa thaaaaa thaaaa"

 

[Azure Dream]

Of course he elected to go last. XD

 

[DragonSworne]

Romney Lost by a landslide.

He sounded frantic, panic, and incoherent. He comes across as a privilege old white guy.

 

[Red Blaster]

"terrific debate"

lolololololololol

 

[tj hazuki]

Obama won!

 

[Seguin]

This is it folks. The turning point for Romney. He could take California and New York with performances like these.

 

[Atramental]

Hopefully the next debate is better.

 

[Dark Schala]

Man, I hope the next debate was better...

Terry Crews

This would be perfect.

 

[Evlar]

Romney is hilarious. The only way his tax plan is deficit neutral is if it massively cuts other govt programs. Yet when confronted on said cuts, says no-no I won't cut that popular thing. Effectively, his tax plan WILL explode the deficit..

Romney's plan is in a quantum state. We determine its contents when we attempt to measure it.

 

[Phoenix]

Obstruction of Republicans FTW!

 

[TacticalFox88]

Holy shit! Called his ass out on being a bitch ass follower!

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Indeed. It's about yelling harder, louder, and getting the last word. Last word = I win, at least for Romney.

The thing is, if you want to appeal to both camps, it's likely pulling that type of strategy off would have been a win-win for Obama.

 

[Riddler]

Well for the common dumbass public perception.. yeah. The guy just lied the entire fucking time lol.

Exactly fact checkers are going to rip Romney a new one.

 

[computers putin']

this debate was terrible, regardless of who the public perceives as the winner, Romney looked terrible to me, his delivery coupled with his content made him look like a imo.

 

[Polishin8r]

Pbs

yup and Romeny wann kill bigbid

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

What channel is this? My ABC doesn't look like this.

Edit: I just realized this is probably the online stream?

It's true. I wouldn't be upset if Obama wasn't so weak. Romney is flat out lying about everything but manages to get away with it because he uses strong language like government taking away freedom, preserve individual liberty etc. basically alluding to Obama administration as if it was on the road to Stalinism.

Instead of Obama doing the same about capitalism and showing why private healthcare industry is absolutely unethical he doesn't even go there. It's such an obvious common sense thing that most people would agree with but he's too afraid to try it out and instead does this even handed nonsense.

He can't even properly deflect 'central government' criticism. Maybe he's just a bad debater but I don't believe that, he just seems incapable of viciously attacking something. ANYTHING. The hardest Obama has ever been was during the immigration amnesty when that pumpkin pie haircut guy interrupted him and Obama said not while I'm speaking. Pull that shit out it's a debate not a book discussion.

Why are you in the US still then? You just continually just post about your white hot hatred for the US no matter what and say absolutely moronic things like I hope Mitt wins just to teach people. I'm sorry you think he's completely spineless but I'm not sure how you got that from the debate tonight.

 

[JABEE]

What is this a football game? Defer until the second half.

 

[grimshawish]

It was a terrible debate. It wasn't a debate. They just rambled and made shit up.
Thats all they did!

 

[CrankyJay]

Obama faltering here.

 

[lednerg]

Romney made it Obama's job to shovel out of a relentless mountain of bullshit.

 

[aceface]

Didn't think Romney was horribad as GAF believes.

I don't think anyone thinks he did bad. Just that his ideas have no substance.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

obama about to fall asleep

 

[Souldriver]

"Part of being a great leader is being able to describe what you are going to do. You can't just sit down."

BOOM!


This debate should've been full of these clear attacks on Mittens.

 

[3phemeral]

House

Thanks, I also reedited and corrected the misspelling that I apparently only noticed until after I saw myself quoted.

 

[El Sloth]

I haven't been watching just listening. Romney is saying a lot of nothing. Obama is taking time to explain. Obama has made more important points that Romney is just avoiding.

This is how I feel. He was rambling at first and Romney actually sounded like he was debating, but what Obama is saying sounds a lot more like something real than Romney's plans.

I personally think Romney has done a better job tonight however. One could say his aggressiveness tonight left him looking strong and sure.

It's not about reason, it's about base appeals to stupidity and backwards culture.

That's been the whole shtick from him tonight. He's been speaking well but not really presenting facts. A lot of the same vague Republican talking points, rehearsed so well they flow off his tongue.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

these anecdotal stories from Obama grow tiring.

 

[thetrin]

Romney had way too many closing remarks. I'm not sure if people will look at that as "wow, what a strong leader!" or "wow, what an ass!"

Though I know how GAF will feel. It's the same answer if their TV had been turned off.

I think he had some real strong remarks. Unfortunately, he came off as a bully to me during much of the debate.

Obama was really no better, but I found Obama's talking points more substantial.

 

[apana]

Dammit Obama, my family is celebrating right now talking about how great Romney is.

 

[watershed]

I can't tell if Obama is being soft on Romney because he wants to be nice or because he's just weak.

 

[shadyspace]

I am so sick of Obama's "this person in this city with this job or circumstance" format.
