Outside of a slight support of SOPA & PIPA (which does not bode well), and talking about 'unfair trade' when we engage in LOTS of unfair trade w/subsidies (corn & sugar specifically) ... So far not bad IMO.

He's nailing education ATM too.

I'm dieing to hear about foreign policy.

Of course it is unfair trade. It is unfair for the rest of the world.

We give them money printed out of thin air and they give us their products. Sound pretty unfair to me.

Obobo first oxymoron of the night:

Praising Apple as a leader in technology and American Jobs - while they are one of the biggest culprits of off-shoring jobs that Obobo condemmed as evil in his previous comment.

His handlers should install an etch-a-sketch eraser on his telepromter.

And you hear rumors and some confirmations that countries are going to start buying oil and other trade goods with gold, and not the American dollar because our money aint worth what it says it is.

I'll also say, those that think Romney or Newt has a chance against 'Campaign Obama', are kidding themselves IMO - especially if they are ignoring this and not watching.

So the choice is yalls, get behind R.Paul () or prepare for Obama to trounce.

Twas in reference to start of Apple that started here, then lead into the manufacturer aspect of it - bringing those jobs home via tax burdens for doing it over seas. But keep reading it how you want to

Why is that? Everything he has talked about concerning the ecnonmy is nothing he has done or is doing. This is laughable. It's like he listened to Romney's speech this morning and tried to repeat it back.

FWIW the gold reference was specifically to R.Paul and how he wants to change the fiscal policy and the fed.

I'll also argue to some extent he (Obama) has been intentionally sandbagged a little. Tonight he nailed education, as opposed to saying poor kids can clean schools in place of a grown adult supporting a family.

He nailed taxes, talking about himself paying a fair share and all the BS that the right likes to put around 'class warfare'.

He's also appealing to a MUCH wider group of ideals and principles; As opposed to a group of 3 trying to "out GOP" each other.
