Support NeoGAF

[EatinOlives]

You remember the "Please proceed, Governor" moment? Of course you do. Obama said that with a condescending tone and I doubt I'm the only one who noticed that.

How would it have been construed had Mitt Romney responded with something like "Do not address me with that tone, Mr President"? I would certainly have been impressed

Obama said it because he knew Mittens was trying to go for a sly zinger, and Mittens was pushing his luck. Obama was going to let him run his mouth before letting him know he did say it.

Binders full of women will be this Halloween's hanging chad.

Spoiler

respect points for anyone who get's the show reference.

Ted just needs to finish his damned story already.

 

[The Technomancer]

oh apparently that is Matt Romney

That's... disconcerning.

"Dad...we need to have a talk"

 

[Red Blaster]

Did that lady in the back just step off the set of Dynasty?

The lady in the back is Mitt's wife btdubs

 

[Derrick01]

Romney says government doesnt create jobs.

Then he says will create jobs.

This was the thing that killed me. I would have immediately countered that if I was Obama.

 

[MeBecomingI]

lolol Neil Cuvuto just said: There's a difference between Terror and Terrorist...

...

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

can we get you to stop pretending to be unbiased? it's pretty dishonest for the entire year to support only republican ideals while saying that you are unbiased.

The answer is no.

 

[speculawyer]

boy

that is a death stare from stretch

That is a bizarre column of asymmetrical blond women.

 

[Manmademan]

Did that lady in the back just step off the set of Dyasty?

The "lady in the back" is ANN ROMNEY

 

[ivysaur12]

Just decided that Binders Full of Women is now my Halloween costume.

 

[Devolution]

He only got as far as he did because everyone else in the primaries was either dumber or crazier than he would ever dare to be.

That's what I mean by I forget then I remember the competition was worse.

 

[CrankyJay]

He flat out said he doesnt care about 47% of the country.I dont see how people can vote for someone like that.

What does he so long as he gets 51% of the electoral college vote?

 

[mdphilli]

not every old person has family they can move in with, just like not every student can get a loan from their parents. Not every problem in the world can be solved with bootstraps, sorry if reality offends you.

You're right. Just like the government isn't the answer for everything, either.

 

[empty vessel]

Whether I don't is really irrelevant. And no, I doubt that a full 47% don't take responsibility for their lives. But I do believe that wasting funds trying target them in a close election would be foolish, which is what I believe Romney was implying when he said that.

Except many if not most of those will be voting for Romney.

 

[Old Lace]

LOL this MSNBC stream is great.

link?

 

[pigeon]

To the audience that was targeted, it's what they wanted to hear. It's an election, politicians will pander to their audiences. I'm not going to sit here and say it was the most eloquently phrased statement, but I understood what he was trying to say, that a good majority has written off him completely (whether it was 47% or not). He has to focus on the ones who haven't to deliver what his audience wanted.

It's one thing to write off half of America. It's another thing to claim you're doing it because they're leeches.

 

[King Mystery]

LOL. CNN holograms!

 

[Godslay]

Knock, knock, America. Obama's back...

 

[Keylime]

Fox and MSNBC playing highlights of the debate from their boys before jumping back into their discussion is so cringe-worthy.

...what the fuck is that about? :lol

 

[Soi-Fong]

That's what I mean by I forget then I remember the competition was worse.

Uh nay. Ron Paul was not one of those crazy screw-ups.

 

[apana]

Sometimes I forget how Romney even got this far. Dude has no fucking charisma, shits all over the rules and doesn't give two fucks about the stench of arrogance he gives off.

Romney and Obama each start with an automatic 45 percent of the voters. From there someone has to get to 50 and Obama had an average convention speech and lousy first debate and the economy is in trouble right now. It is more surprising that Romney isn't further ahead in some respects.

 

[Devolution]

If these townhall debates weren't so formal I wish someone would have asked Romney what he did with the binders full of women after the jobs were filled.

Uh nay. Ron Paul was not one of those crazy screw-ups.

lol Not going down that road.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Just decided that Binders Full of Women is now my Halloween costume.

Dress as a pimp and have a stack of binders.

 

[threetri333]

I'm voting for the lesser of the two evils. This one is going to Obama.

 

[Clevinger]

"Why do we fall, Barack?"

"So we can learn to pick ourselves back up."

oh my god

hahaha

 

[pigeon]

Colorado voters give Obama a 48/44 victory in the debate- more importantly 58/36 among independents. Sample is R+3

Look who showed up.

 

[gamergirly]

@FoxNews --Independent voters my ass

 

[ThaiGrocer]

...please proceed, governor.

 

[Trokil]

LOL. CNN holograms!

I hope Leeroy stays out of this one

 

[PhoenixDark]

Add this for Obama instead

 

[Agent Ironside]

That is a bizarre column of asymmetrical blond women.

We'll have to get back to you on that middle one.

 

[Open Source]

The Libya timeline.

Makes it quite clear that Obama and co. were pushing the protest/video angle from Day 1.

He has to focus on the ones who haven't to deliver what his audience wanted.

You're interpretation of this event and what he said is at odds with reality. Clearly you have an pre-established inclination to see Romney in the best possible light.

And, BTW, I can't think of another time in modern American history where a man running for President showed such disdain for HALF of this country's citizens.

 

[Deified Data]

I also like how he implied that women need to go home earlier than men.

Who needs pay equality when women can go into the kitchen faster?

That's when I knew it was over for him.

Basically, "Women have weird schedules. They've gotta get home in time to cook dinner and please their husbands".

 

[ultim8p00]

The "47%" line is just as overrated as the "You Didn't Build That" line. It's quite clearly being taken out of context. He was referring to trying to win them over in the election, nothing to do with nit caring about them as citizens.

No the 47% line was about them being freeloaders and not wanting to take responsibility for their lives. That's what Romney said and what Obama hammered at.

 

[pompidu]

He flat out said he doesnt care about 47% of the country.I dont see how people can vote for someone like that.

Seriously, do people really want a president who only gives a shit about half the country? The man is a scumbag.

The "lady in the back" is ANN ROMNEY

So basically the answer is "Pretty much".

Knock, knock, America. Obama's back...

This is fucking fantastic.

re: "act of terror" statement in the rose garden -

guy on fox news: "candy crowley had no business doing a real time fact check because she was dead wrong."

lol.

 

[jtb]

Uh nay. Ron Paul was not one of those crazy screw-ups.

He was crazy in his own way. I respect his approach to foreign policy and the drug war, but the guy is just as crazy in everything else.

 

[Salvadora]

58/36 among independents

Impressive.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Anyone have a video of that Libya moment when the crowd cheered?

 

[LyleLanley]

This is so ridiculously hilarious.

Look who showed up.

bahahahaha. Wrap it up, B!

This is true. Ron Paul was one of an entirely different group of crazy screw-ups.

 

[Stridone]

At least he's sincere.
