BIG MONEY! NO WHAMMIES!

Big Bird will be fine. Jack up Elmo's licensing fees by 2-3% and you'll probably cover the meager funds federal government spends on Public Broadcasting.

The point was - for those that chose to ignore it - if we are going to continue to borrow money from our children and children's children we should at least see if it passes the smell test. We are spending far too much to be borrowing on anything and everything. Both Parties are responsible for this.

He used a super right hyped item that the mouth breathers salivate over.
Nothing more, nothing less.

The fact that the dog and pony show is being discussed any more than "wow, that was a waste of time, neither brought anything new to the table" is amazing.

Romney is a business man, of course he's going to win a debate, his job is to make you feel all warm and fuzzy while jamming it up your back end. Obama is a politician, his job is to make you feel all warm and fuzzy while jamming it up your back end.

I love your perception of business men - I have seen some of the best and brightest "disappear" when they dont produce results. Business has no conscience, produce results or you're shown the door. Romney's shareholders will be the American people, he will need to produce results or be shown the door. Obama has shown us his results, there is the door.

For someone who only casually watches the news, they might think that Obama is some brilliant, slightly-more-than-human, walks-on-water Messiah. That's how Obama sees himself, and the media bends over backwards to reinforce that.

This debate debunked that myth. This debate showed exactly what happens when you pair off one guy who got where he is because he is black and knows how to use that to his advantage, against another guy who made it to the top of the hyper-competitive business world thanks to his brains and his sweat.

No idea what this means in the polls. But it shows what an empty suit Obama is.

What was Obama's excuse? What did Obama say the next day? Some deranged claim that "it wasn't Mitt Romney" who Obama debated. That's the best the Messiah could come up with.

I love your perception of your own grandiose thoughts on politics and business.

Oooooh "best and brightest"! Buzzwords at their best.
I suppose Romney is gonna tell us next how he will unilaterally save the economy while rocking his bizmeth skills to restructure government then make taxes multi-centric?!

Sure.

At his 2008 covention speech, he stood between 2 Greek columns like he was a Greek God. At his inauguration speech (I think), he said something to teh effect of "let today be the day we remember as the day the earth began to cool,and the waters stopped rising".

Likwid, people were claiming to be fainting at every speech the guy gave.

Chris Mathews (MSNBC) said he got a tingle up his leg every time Obama speaks.

We elected a guy whose resume included 3 years in the Senate where he did exactly notihng except run for President. I'm not sure on what basis you elect a guy President who has never done a single significantthing, but this is what we get.

not grandiose, i have seen harvard/yalegrads, with years of experience, shown the door, ceos turn over all the time. You have to perform in business. Results matter. You dont have to perform as a law professor. its a different game.

Likwid, Romney was a hugely successful businessman. That takes some talent. Unlike Obama, he didn't get to be the CEO of Bain Capital because of affirmative action. Romney was at the helm of a firm that made a lot of money. You can't deny that. If Romney was as incompetent as Obama, Bain would have gone bankrupt. Romney didn't add $5 trillion to Bain's debt. He actually created wealth. More than we can say for the Messiah.

We can argue about whether or not business success is a valid credential for being a President, but Romney's business success is a zillion times more tangible than anything Obama did before getting elected.

Where am I wrong?

and if Romney performed poorly he we would be fired. Just like every other ceo that performs poorly. So BS may get them in the door, but they have to deliver.
