Obama did not say one thing about limiting gun sales. He talked about banning assault weapons. There is a difference.

Romney has the advantage in that he can pick apart the current president. If he wins, the democrat nominee in 2016 will have the same advantage. Classic case of people falling in love with the back up quarterback.

I just can't look past Romney's sleaziness. The guy just make me cringe when he tries to be compassionate, it is not natural for him.

No, I just love hearing you say Obama won over and over, and you also said the poll you linked to be most accurate, but now say it isn't. But nonetheless, Obama won the debate and pgh is willing to admit it! Talk about a great debate indeed.

Didn't offend me. I'm a woman and an ordinary American. I get what he is saying, and tend to agree.

My whole generation of women managed to survive and thrive without demanding others pay for our birth control. I say this as someone who thinks from a business standpoint that any insurance company is insane to not pay for birth control - it's so much cheaper than a living breathing baby.

Many people wouldn't have bothered to look up the transcript of Obama's speech in which he definitely used the word "terror." On 9/11 Obama was visiting Arlington cemetery, veterans at Walter Reed Hospital, not campaigning, and Romney tried to paint a picture of a man without a soul. Obama was very patient and just said "look at the transcript." Romney screwed up. He was the one who turned the death of 4 Americans into a political campaign speech even before the families were notified or the death of Chris Stevens could be confirmed. He said Obama apologized, which is something the Republicans have been lying about for over a month.

The day after the attack Obama said:

Remarks by the President on the Deaths of U.S. Embassy Staff in Libya | The White House

"No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done."


Obama made no apology and he definitely used the words "acts of terror" in his response to the attack on the consulate.
Good post.
