"IN THE BLUE CORNER! WEIGHING IN AT APPROXIMATELY 180 LBS..."
I think that the defining thing about this debate is the change in the demeanor between the two candidates since Denver, especially the President's. This debate was still rather painful to watch because of the amount of avoidance that both candidates did, but I also think that the gloves really came off. Both of them we're really on the attack tonight, I was waiting for microphone to come down at the end and Candy to walk out and say "IN THE BLUE CORNER..." and then they would touch gloves and beat the hell out of one another. There was so much animosity in that room, it was palpable. I want to say that it made me more excited, but I just couldn't get into the two men at each other's throats all night. This is what I will say. I think the President really stepped up his game, and I think the moderator did a much better job. I will also say I was quite mad at Romney for suggesting that the President didn't care about the people who died in Libya, I think that was extremely distasteful, whether or not Obama did call the murders an "Act of Terror"(I looked up the transcript on a Fox site, they say he used "terror" in a generic sense, despite in being in very close proximity to the word "act," as in "acts of terror" versus that he should have said "This was a deliberate Act of Terror on the United States of America" and that is totally the same damn thing when you consider that the whole speech was concerning the attacks on Libya and not on Terrorism as a whole.)

I agree Tim, I thought fists were going to fly. Obama would have my bet though, he seems a bit more scrappy. Plus, have you seen that guy play basketball? He's a baller... haha
ReplyDeleteThis election seems more aggressive, and the political lines are becoming walls. I'm losing all hope of an undivided America, maybe it's healthy? But, how can having a split America be proactive? I feel like the focus of American politics now, is the goal of winning. Which is clearly an American ideal.
But, if we ever want to better ourselves and the world around us, we really are going to have to blur the lines and work together. Maybe that's just me?
