The Debate Changes the Minds of the 20 Percent
After the debate was over, one thing was for sure and that is that Obama's "Trickle Down Government' plan is not working. Obama spoke for over four and a half minutes more than Mitt Romney and it did not help him at all. Romney is a straight shooter and tells it like it is. Obama, he just went from word to word with no new ideas to change this falling economy. Obama kept saying what he would do to help our country to recover and each time he spoke. I wanted to remind him that HE WAS the president for the last four years. He has had four years so why did he not do those things in the last four years to drop unemployment, lower gas prices, and so on. Romney spoke like a president more so then Obama. He was strong. He was on track. He was encouraging. Obama is so used to his "yes men" praising him that when Romney questioned him and his programs, Obama was stunned. Obama was angry that Romney would question his "EYE CANDY" status!
We are worse off now than when Obama took office, Obama should have come out blazing. Obama was bland and weak in his performance. He was not the fiery speaker we see when he is in front of his supporters. Obama seemed to be all over the place with no direction. Obama is soft, too soft. I believe it was from his previous months of easy TV appearances. The president has been appearing all over the Boob Tube as of late. Appearing on The View, Lettermen, and Leno's couch instead of dealing with world leaders where tough minds and bold leaders exchange words. Obama's past month has only prepared him for being the next judge on the Voice not the next president! I suggest you will not be seeing Obama on TV shows before the next debate.
The candidates were asked about the role of government and the recovery. Obama says government programs will take our country out of this failure. Romney said that Americans and private sector businesses will take our country back to glory. The sad thing is Obama has been in charge of the government for four years and some how he still believes his own words! Even sadder was watching Obama's campaign manager explain why his guy lost the debate!
My question is, what government program do you think it is better than the same type of business in the private sector. The US Post Office has been failing for years even with the government's/our money to keep it afloat. A similar mail delivery private sector company is UPS. UPS is growing and successful. Except for the military, I believe the private sector is more capable than the government in most instances. With this mindset, why would you want the government to take over your health care? If you look at the VA hospitals, which are government run hospitals, then you know that having the government run your health care is a very bad idea!
Romney took Obama to school tonight by showing his superior knowledge about how to "fix" our country. Romney clearly understands business better than Obama. He schooled Obama about how businesses will take our country back to the shinning city on the hill. Obama continued to say Romney was not saying specifics about how Romney would turn the economy around. I heard many specifics about how Romney would turn this country around. Is it possible that the left seems not to hear specifics because they don't know enough about how businesses work to understand how they can help the economy? While Romney brought new ideas to the debate, Obama same old "Talking Points" were simply wearing thin on me and most viewers. His disrespect, by talking over his time limits and his talking over Romney showed his arrogance boldly to the viewers. When put up against the respectful, humble, and intelligent Romney, Obama just melted.
Let me ask you, where are you in the voting line? What did you hear from each candidate that makes you lean for or against either man? The results of the focus groups that were watching the debate say it was Governor Romney's night. So when you look at a president that could not stop talking, while saying nothing, and then you see Romney telling America, in his own words, how he will take America back to its glory day, who do you want to lead you for the next four years? Obama is a nice guy. He is a poor leader. Our national unemployment is still over 8 percent. It is time for a new direction for our country and Romney is the man to drive us to greatness again.
Interesting fact...when the national channels were about to report on the focus poll results stating that Romney won the debate.... they all went blank! If you went to CNN, you would have heard it was indeed Romney's night. Kind of interesting that on a night when the liberal channels, that have been supporting Obama, would have had to report that Romney won the debate, the channels went blank! What say yea? Who won the debate?

I love the saying that "Biden is the BRAINS of the Democratic Party!" LOL He is also a good person but a very bad VP. When I was young people used to say, So and So is one breath away from the presidency. That alone should make people vote for Romney. Like I said, Obama ie "PREZ EYE CANDY" spent his debate practice time on The View, Leno's couch, & Dave's chair. Let's not even talk about fly time & the cost to American's to fly EYE CANDY all over the country to get his FIX of "I'm OK, Your OK!" I can see Saturday night already doing a parity on Ryan because of his VERY distinctive speech rate pattern. I can just see it now, & it will be funny, his rate but, not his words or his points. This man Ryan has a grasp on the economy & what it will take to get us back on track. I think one of the best quotes of the night was when Romney said that Obama promised to cut the deficient in half but instead he doubled it. Obama puffed up his mouth in disgust (his tell) & cut his eyes in shame. I love to read their body language during the debate & POOR OBAMA was getting SPANKED over & over & over & he knew it! Bet he wishes he had those foolish TV appearances back so he could have be better prepared for the first debate. Can't wait to see his body language next time. Poor Whoopie, lover of Obama, blamed his loosing on it being his anniversary. VP Gore blamed his loosing the debate on Denver's thin air. His campaign manager blamed it on-no wait a minute he thought Obama won! SAD

He was challenged for the FIRST TIME in his presidency. Bush had to endure interrogation constantly, while obama gets a pass at every turn. He's not used to someone daring to stand up to him and talk to him like that. His media was not there to edit his words into 30 minute sound bites that no one will challenge (sort of like talking to an inanimate object (like a mirror-lol) that doesn't talk back to you). Nor was he standing before his adoring public that agrees with him. He was standing before people who were demanding to know what he has to say. And the moderator did his job- let the two speak. No "gotcha, non-questions". FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Just bought popcorn from a boyscout for next week's debate. Biden can't talk to HIMSELF without saying something stupid, imagine what it will be like for him to be challenged? This will be better than NASCAR!

Why do so many think a first-term senator who spent most of that first-term running for another office, is capable of overseeing the world's largest economy? EPIC FAILURE!
Obama/ Biden is the disease....Romney/ Ryan are the cure.

Keith? You didn't hear? Obama's first term was all predestined by the mess left by W. In fact, Obama already staked a claim that the same applies to his second term and quite possibly passed on to the president to follow. How about that for CYA?

What's scary is that the worst effects of obamacare and raised taxes are set to take effect in Jan. of 2013. They had it planned well. So well, that no one will see the idsaster until after they are put back into office. Hopefully, that won't be the case. But even if it is, then when disaster strikes, they will be seen for what the yare and have no one to blame.

Tammy. I honestly mean no disrespect by this. I read somewhere that you stated that your vision is bad. Bless you as I too have problems with my sight now days. Mine started only about three years ago and I now know that I took it for granted so long.
Some may know this already but it is an easy way to zoom in on a broweser and some other Windows applications.
Hold down your Ctrl key while pressing your + key to zoom in and your - key to zoom out. If you have a scroll mouse, you can do the same by holding the Ctrl key and scrolling forward and backward. This is better than adjusting your computer resolution as the screen view varies depending on the web site.
I hope this helps anyone with vision issues like mine.

Robert- I found out something years ago that I didn't know and will share it here. When we get older (between the 30's and 40's) the nerve behind the eye gets weak and sometimes "flips" things around- almost like being dyslexic. I found this out when, at 37, I got a letter calling me up for jury duty. I was not one to try to get out of it, in fact, I was so excited that I immediately marked it on my calendar. Well, I got a letter in the mail about missing it. I called and told them that that was impossible-then commenced to tell them how much I was looking forward to it. Turned out that it was for the 13th. I had read it as the 31st. Thankfully, they rescheduled it! But, I did go to the eye doctor where he told me about that common problem. That's why some people who have never worn glasses, have to get reading glasses when they get older. Strange but true-lol.

It is strange to me that the human mind can read with only a few correct letters in place. I am always getting letters from FB friends that have a running list of sentences that make very little sense & are obviously misspelled. It says to read it all the way to the end. I never have any trouble with complete understanding of the piece. At the bottom of the page it then states that intelligent minds can read & discern the information even with only a few of the correct letters being present. People with very high IQ's are able to do this. Those with medium IQ or very poor reading abilities can not make head or tails out of the jumbled letters. Those that enter into the military, with this ability,can become code readers as their minds function without needing every letter to make sense. Tammy, I am guessing your IQ is in the gifted range, as you do not need every letter to make sense. When people gripe about a missing k or an e, I assume they are those without this ability. My mind is capable of reading & understanding with very few correct letters. As I write, many times I do not see a mistake & the Patch does not point it out. I must use my computer first then copy & move it to the Patch to be fault free. I try to put at least 2 errors in each post to keep the grammar cops sharp. It is a very interesting field of study. I can read with few correct letters but, can not make heads or tails of what Robert suggested to do to make the type bigger! To each a gift is given.

I think we put too much faith in the "new guy." Obama was off his game and he didn't even ask tough questions or mention the "47%" comment. But that's neither here nor there. The reason we're in the financial mess we are now is b/c we always put our hope in the new guy, thinking that somehow this time it's going to be different. In the 2008 Rep. debates Romney said he was in favor of the National One ID. He also voted for T..A.R.P. And we know for sure if he gets in office, we're going to war with Iran.
These guys are the same. They got us all picking losing sides. Sure, maybe Romney will slow down our decline, but why not put a complete end to decline?

Lol. @ Ga Repub. The point is the writer of this article is clearly enthusiastic about Mitt Romney. It's this type of hope in the new guy that keeps us blind to the signs that point to more or less the same coming attractions. There's not much to show that Mittens will back the Fed from intruding on our privacy or the crap education they impose the state teach. There's no sign we're retracting from war. It's a game and we're pawns who perpetuate the decline.
We, as a people, need to stop tooting these sleazeballs' horns just b/c their better than the alternative and start holding them accountable before they get into office. We can say," Well, he seems better than the alternative, but I'll be watching this guy close and so should you."
Make sense?

@ Ga Repub. The point is the writer of this article is clearly enthusiastic about Mitt Romney. It's this type of hope in the new guy that keeps us blind to the signs that point to more or less the same coming attractions. Paul the VERY same comments can be said about obuma 4 years ago. He lacks leadership skills and refuses to see the world as it is instead preferring to have America believe ALL IT WELL in the Middle East when from everyone's else view it is on fire. We Republicans tried to "VET" the BOOB TUBE WANNABE Prez but the liberal left media just wanted to give the man a PASS. Today our economy is in a shambles, 4 years of 8 above unemployments numbers-(questionable this month), the stock market looks great because the companies are running on skeleton crews fearing what Obama will do next, our enemies don't fear us and our allies don't trust us. He passed a non funded medical program by stealing from medicare and is the laughing stock around the world for his, "Let's Be Nice to the Enemy" and maybe they will love us mentality!" We will take years to get out of the mess Obama has created. We will have to do double the work just to put our country back in a place of honor instead of the place of dishonor. There is no perfect doctor, teacher, parent, or president so I don't expect perfection from Romney yet, I can see a body forming in the empty chair in the Oval Office. The best presidents have always come from governorships not congress. Educate & VOTE!

Cynthia, I agree, The EXACT same thing was said about Obama 4 years ago. That's precisely my point. And we are doing it again this year. It's like a cruel joke. Let's take our party filter off and perceive things objectively.
You talk about unemployment and all that jazz like it's all Obama's fault. The Home Reinvestment Act that forced banks to make crap loans to unqualified citizens which kicked off the entire recession was passed when Obama was a nobody. We went to war under Bush 10 years ago. They didn't fear us for Bush's 8 years and they don't fear us now. QE1 was passed under Bush.
Where's the objectivity? We need new blood, Constitutionalists, actual public servants. But that won't happen until all the conservatives back up, see things for what they are, and not glee because the same Harvard boob, but with a red tie, has a shot at the Office

Paul, a lot of people like the Libertarians (Ron Paul comes to mind) and they stayed on top of the news for quite a while. But I think that the foreign policy stuff drove people away. Maybe it will take a while, but I do think they are gaining some ground. At least, they gained more this time than I've seen in past years.

PAUL, I agree that is correct but the liberal left said to the banks if you don;t give out these loans then you will NOT get any more Fannie and Freddie backed money! Remember that when leaders want to secure votes they make sure their voters are getting all the freebies they can. That case was about a bank that said NO to a woman that wanted to use her unemployment checks as income when she applied for a loan. The bank said no. ACORN said do it and sued the bank. The banks were told get this money out into the hands of the poor and those unable to normally get a loan and so here we are in the worst home crisis in America's history. THANK YOU BARNEY FRANK!!! Obama was in Chicago. Obama was invested in that area. Obama was supporting ACORN. Look deeper to find the truth. The president just gave another 10 weeks to the unemployed millions of Americans that STILL can not find a JOB! It is time for America to put a true JOB MAKER in the White House and kick out the wanna be leader and send him packing all the way back to Acorn land!!
