*In the third and final (presidential) debate before the election on November 6, President Obama pretty much took Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to school as far as foreign policy is concerned.
Heck, by the time it was over, Romney reversed himself on his previous positions and, incredibly, pretty much parroted every Obama position dealing with foreign policy.
In fact, as of the time of this posting, all the major polls give the debate solidly to President Obama.
President Barack Obama portrayed rival Gov. Mitt Romney as “all over the map” and inexperienced on key national security issues in the third and final debate of the presidential election Monday night in Boca Raton, Fla. Each candidate attempted to paint the other as an untrustworthy commander in chief, but Romney’s performance was less aggressive than Obama’s, and the governor was often on defense in the 90-minute exchange.
“I know you haven’t been in a position to actually execute foreign policy—but every time you’ve offered an opinion, you’ve been wrong,” Obama said, referencing Romney’s initial support for the Iraq war.
The president in general was harshly critical of Romney, and landed a few well-placed zingers. “The Cold War’s been over for 20 years,” he said in response to Romney’s comment from several months ago that Russia is America’s primary geopolitical foe.
He later said, “Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets,” in response to Romney’s criticism that America has fewer Navy ships than in the past. “We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines,” the president added, a touch of mockery entering his voice.

Pres. Obama did enough to slow Romney’s momentum. Great line about horses and bayonets, clowned him. What will all the people do who hate president Obama, and have done everything possible to prevent him being re-elected do if he wins? I’ve heard some people talking about leaving the country. I cannot wait to see their faces the day after the election. I never listen to them but I cannot wait to hear Rush and Hannity on Nov 7th.
Our President clearly won tonight, or let me be real and say the President stumped all over romney’s dumbazz.
Yuuuuup!, had his dumb azz ….”moonwalkin” like “MJ”!!!!
And now?, watch’em ALL “downplay” the SHYT outta this…..azzwhoopin!!
For the most part, I was impressed with Obama. The second debate was aiiight, but this was a complete turnaround from the first. But even after that strategy backfired disastrously in the first debate, I still get the impression that Obama is being held back on some specific items. I think that the advice from the Obama camp is for him to avoid defending his record on the economy because it is still too “screwed up.” I think that’s the worst advice he could be given. The recent trend in unemployment and housing starts are exactly what voters need to hear. Make the point that it took four years, but finally we are coming out of the mess that George Bush left us in, and that’s why he should be given another four years to finish the job. But seeing that this debate was supposed to be about foreign policy, I was worried that Obama would not get that chance. But Romney’s dumb ass kept bringing the shit up. Still talking that bullshit about college students still not able to find jobs. And Obama seemed resigned to letting him get away with it. Like he was scared of the topic.
I was impressed though, when Obama collared his ass on the auto industry. Romney tried to hide by slowly changing the topic while rambling for a long time, but much to his credit, Obama didn’t get distracted and referred voters to check the record.
Although Obama finally had some balls to call out Romney on the vulture capitalism, it seems like the handlers advised him not to go too far. I was really hoping that he would bring up the case of the Sensata Technologies workers when he talked about how Romney started a company to send jobs overseas. I mean, nothing more effective than to quote an example that’s unfolding before our very eyes with that specific Romney inspired company.
PS…And the POTUS’s zinger regarding…”Horses & Bayonets”!??, was a “busdriver uppercut”!!!! Beleeeeedat!!!
Romney was schooled last night now watch how the Repubs try to spin it. I’m glad Obama was assertive not aggressive or angry as they will try and paint him.
Obama Won The Debate,It Was Not A Square, White People Make Me Sick, When A Black Person When Win They WantTo Say It Square.NoNo Obama Won, Good Job Obama.
