You mean your candidate, Romney, is a fraud and a liar. Viewers on C-Span are saying Romney wouldn't shake Obama's hand at the end. THAT is disrespectful. It wasn't lost on the viewers. Very bad behavior.

I'm feeling a Bush/Kerry election. Bad first debate, Kerry in the lead before the second debate, and Bush turned it around on the last two. Election will come down to Ohio.

The Economic Policy Institute has run the numbers and finds that President Obama’s budget would boost economic growth far more than Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s.


Study: Obama’s plan would create more 1.1 million jobs in 2013. Romney’s plan would create 87,000.
So a liberal think tank finds a way to work future numbers to help the liberal? Imagine that.

When the president took office, the price of gasoline here in Nassau County was about $1.86 a gallon. Now, it's $4.00 a gallon. The price of electricity is up. If the president's energy policies are working, you're going to see the cost of energy come down."


The facts: Presidents have almost no effect on energy prices; most are set on financial exchanges around the world. When Obama took office, the world was in the grip of a financial crisis and crude prices - and gasoline prices along with them - had plummeted because world demand had collapsed. Crude oil prices have since risen even as U.S. oil production has soared in recent years because global demand is reaching new heights as the developing economies of Asia use more oil.

Other energy prices have fallen during Obama's term. Electricity prices, when adjusted for inflation, are down, and homeowners are finding it much cheaper to heat their homes with natural gas. That's because natural gas production has surged, reducing prices both for homeowners and for utilities that burn gas to generate electricity.

Businessman Romney isn't aware of how the oil markets and energy pricing works?
Obama 2008, high gas prices are an indication of failed Presidential Policies..

@CharlieKayeCBS: In the @CBSNews Instant Poll, 65% say Romney won on the issue of the economy. 34% say Obama won on the economy.

That right there tells you all you need to know. The key issue in this election is the economy. Obama clearly got called out for his bs and failures. Romney knew what the hell he was talking about.

Our findings here echo those discussed in a prior post that Republicans have moved further to the right than Democrats to the left in the contemporary period. Indeed, as seen below, President Obama is the most moderate Democratic president since the end of World War II, while President George W. Bush was the most conservative president in the post-war era.

He is a leftist pretending to be a moderate.
