If only we could vote for the POTUS too.

If the election were held in Ireland, France, etc., Obama would take more than 90% of the vote according to polling there.

 

[BrhysH]

CBC online poll (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation)

Who do you think won the debate?

89% Obama
10% Romney
1% Tied

I think this echos majority of the world. I'm thankful we don't have a Romney here.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Romney laid out a firm vision of the future, in that he'll fight the bad men and make things happy for the good men, and it'll be just like that guy's plan except waaay better just trust me

we just gotta lead harder

 

[MormaPope]

Yep. Romney wrapped this up tonight.
He did what he needed to do. 1. Avoid getting dragged into Obama's desperate, immature personal attacks and lies and 2. lay out a firm vision for the world's future.
Simply stunning.

I would guess what you're saying is sarcasm but you sat the exact same shit in every debate thread.

 

[pax217]

lol awesome

1. Fox News says stuff different from other news outlets

2. They explain it by saying the others have a liberal bias and they are not

3. People believe them

FOX is terribly right (which people on the right say they're unbiased)
MSNBC is the FOX equivalent on the left (which people on the left say they're unbiased)
Most other news outlets will lean left, but that's because the type of person who typically goes into journalism is probably going to hold values closer to the left, not because CBS producers or whoever wake up and say "Let's spin the news to what I want people to believe!" the way FOX or MSNBC do

 

[Patryn]

I have a feeling that the CNN talking heads are being fed the results of the snap polls, because they're more sounding like Romney got his ass kicked.

 

[JCizzle]

hahaha "if this debate went on for 30 more minutes, Romney would have endorsed Obama".

 

[teh_pwn]

Romney's performance was so bad I would not be surprised if Florida and Virginia become legit tossups again.

Romney cowardly reversed on critical stances on foreign policy that has direct impact on the lives on our soldiers. It showed weakness. His rambling and physical language, along with a lack of any policy difference other than "I'm going to get jobs gooder" was transparent.

 

[apana]

I need moar polls!

 

[Dark Schala]

Can we saw off the South and merge with Canada?

Hahaha, our federal government isn't much better.

If the election were held in Ireland, France, etc., Obama would take more than 90% of the vote according to polling there.

And he would probably be considered as a conservative/right-wing candidate, wouldn't he?

 

[Pctx]

Stay classy LiberalGAf. I'll see you in the election thread.

 

[soul creator]

Romney laid out a firm vision of the future, in that he'll fight the bad men and make things happy for the good men, and it'll be just like that guy's plan except waaay better just trust me

Romney's foreign policy is the equivalent of that kid from kindergarten cop

"Our lasers protect us from the bad people"

 

[MThanded]

Krauthammer on fox news calls it for Romney.

 

[Learn2read]

"If this debate went on another 30min Romney would've endorsed Obama"

Van Jones, lol

 

[Dany]

great

 

[Gr1mLock]

Truly an amazing use of this gif

Thank you friend 'chits.

 

[methane47]

hahaha "if this debate went on for 30 more minutes, Romney would have endorsed Obama".

black guy is the only sane one on cnn

 

[hydragonwarrior]

THIS NEEDS TO BE VIRAL'D.

 

[Protein]

hahaha "if this debate went on for 30 more minutes, Romney would have endorsed Obama".

The only decent thing that has come out of CNN tonight.

 

[HylianTom]

Obama clearly won because GAF's conservatives sound more unhinged than usual.

They do have that tell.

They probably know that this was Mitt's last chance to change the trajectory. He's gotten close, but he just.. can't.. quite.. close.. that.. firewall.. ..gap.

What a pity.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I just don't get why the Republican strategy is to just outright declare "the election is over we have won" in totally conclusory terms instead of just expressing some kind of reasoned optimism.

 

[nib95]

One thing I will say, even based off GAFers, it's clear the conservatives on here live in some sort of warped alternative reality. When Obama lost the first debate, Dems on here agreed (nearly all of them anyway) he lost it, when it's the opposite, the conservatives show a hilarious degree of denial. Sums it up I think.

 

[metalslimer]

Stay classy LiberalGAf. I'll see you in the election thread.

Inevitable meltdown incoming. See you there!

hey do have that tell.

They probably know that this was Mitt's last chance to change the trajectory. He's gotten close, but he just.. can't.. quite.. close.. that.. firewall.. ..gap.

What a pity.

It's so fun to watch though

 

[BigJonsson]

If the election were held in Ireland, France, etc., Obama would take more than 90% of the vote according to polling there.

Obama would be the right wing candidate, not crazy right wing though

 

[Aylinato]

Who's Cat Woman on a motorcycle blasting Bane in this analogy?

Michelle Obama.

Yep. Romney wrapped this up tonight.
He did what he needed to do. 1. Avoid getting dragged into Obama's desperate, immature personal attacks and lies and 2. lay out a firm vision for the world's future.
Simply stunning.

Someone tell me if this is trolling or serious. I honest to god can't tell anymore.

 

[NYR]

Shame Canadians can't vote here

Not really.

We elect strippers in Quebec with no experience who can't even speak French and this guy:

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Krauthammer on fox news calls it for Romney.

Woah, really. Did he make a face like this?

>:>

 

[gkryhewy]

Nice try, champ.

 

[ascii42]

Stupid question here. If Obama wins re-election is he still considered number 44? Lol, or is he also 44 and 45? Yep, reeeeeeeaaaaly dumb question.

I'm guessing it goes literally by number of presidents and not number of administrations?

Yeah, the only President to be counted twice is Grover Cleveland, because he served non-consecutive terms.

 

[RagnarokX]

"Obama has driven the biggest wedge we've had with Israel in a long time..." "What is the wedge?" "The wedge is the fact that he has not been supportive of Israel"

 

[Brinbe]

I just don't get why the Republican strategy is to just outright declare "the election is over we have won" in totally conclusory terms instead of just expressing some kind of reasoned optimism.

It's not a lie if you believe it.

[Anticitizen One]

What's with all the old people on CNN implying Romney did good tonight? What a load of horseshit

 

[Jangocube]

Well, gotta say Obama did better in this debate.

It saddens me that foreign policy is now mainly talking points about military involvement. Very little humanitarian discussions or talk about atrocities that are happening outside of the middle east region.

 

[Kinyou]

I have a feeling that the CNN talking heads are being fed the results of the snap polls, because they're more sounding like Romney got his ass kicked.

Their reaction in a nutshell

 

[Derrick01]

When Obama lost the first debate, Dems on here agreed (nearly all of them anyway) he lost it, when it's the opposite, the conservatives show a hilarious degree of denial. Sums it up I think.

The mainstream conservatives did the same thing. At least Dems admitted they were very upset with Obama's performance. But that's what you expect from the reasonable party of the country.

 

[Vire]

Release the fucking polls already...

 

[antonz]

I want to say 44th President, and (b/c i didn't know
2012-1776= 236
236/4 = 59

59th Presidency.

[edit:] And THANK YOU for summaries!

Not that it changes results much but 1789 was when first president took office

 

[Dan]

It's truly stunning that we have a credible candidate who stands for virtually nothing. How anyone can feel good about voting for him is beyond me. How can you even know what policies you're voting for?

 

[Thoraxes]

animated gif talk and memes on ABC

wut?

 

[Angry Grimace]

What's with all the old people on CNN implying Romney did good tonight? What a load of horseshit

They're just waiting for the snap polls to figure out what to say.

 

[Learn2read]

CNN replaying Obama's Israel visit answer. Damn that was good

 

[EmCeeGramr]

It's truly stunning that we have a credible candidate who stands for virtually nothing. How anyone can feel good about voting for him is beyond me. How can you even know what policies you're voting for?

 

[Wilbur]

As a Brit, I genuinely fear for America if Romney wins. No specifics. No plan. It's embarrassing to think that he stands a chance of becoming the leader of the most powerful Western country in the world.

 

[Partial Gamification]

Not that it changes results much but 1789 was when first president took office

Oh, totally. Good catch.
[edit: ] and I'll say inagurated in 1780 so it works out to 58th President
[edit:] ha! how about 1790...

 

[Dark Schala]

Not really.

We elect strippers in Quebec with no experience who can't even speak French and this guy:

I miss Air Farce depicting him as a robot...

 

[grimshawish]

wut?

Its the fact their not even explaining them I find hilarious. Some people must be very confused at that gif

 

[Kazerei]

Seriously, what did Romney do that was so great? He mostly agreed with what Obama is doing. Plus he got called out for comments he's made in the past.

 

[BigJonsson]

rofl @ the Jon King walk across the set to the electoral map, why didn't they just hologram it over to his desk
