Muscatine

rommney again positioned himself as an attractive flip flopping liar.

obama looked tired, off his game, and not up to the challenge.

i score it romney...7 rounds to 4 rounds and 1 even.

still after this debate, the other debates, and the television advertising in the rest of the campaign, the race will come down to turnout in the 7-10 battleground states...esp ohio and fla where obama, pre-debate, has at least a 6% and 3% advantage...thanks mainly to romney's "47% victim" freudian slip...a gaff that will not go away.

There is no proof of this. That is YOUR opinion.

And your opinion, prior to this debate outcome you most-honorably cite, vs. what you have posted before this debate on issues and politics, clearly show from an overview of it all, that Romney won regardless of the 47% victim factor. It never even came up! Aren't you mad at nobama for that?

All nobama could do was look down at his table, defeatably, & pretend he was writing something; or look at Jim L. in an attempt for the liberal PBS anchor to bail him out. (Please, please, help me!)

Romney knew key facts and cited them and nobama could do nothing but try to change the subject.

nobama, the pugilist, hankered down and did not vary from his failed message of always. It was obvious he did not want to be there and he missed his teleprompters. When he was put thru the gauntlet, he was quashed.

The press could not cover for him tonight!

Let's look at some history:

Obama took office pledging to repair that image among the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims, particularly those in the strategically important Middle East. He has sought to do so with several high-profile international speeches, and by taking steps he says help bring American foreign policy in line with the nation’s values. (Did the nation's values include removing military security troops from embassies at risk?)

 

In April 2009, during his first overseas trip as president, Obama told the Turkish parliament, "We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country."

 

"The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans," said Obama, who spent some of his childhood in Indonesia. "Many other Americans have been enriched by Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority country. I know because I am one of them."

 

Two months later, he delivered his address to the Muslim world from Cairo University, calling the speech "A New Beginning." He again explicitly noted Islam’s role in the United States, and the values he says protect its practice.

"Freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one’s religion," Obama said then. "That is why there is a mosque in every state in our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That’s why the United States government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab and to punish those who would deny it."

"So let there be no doubt," he continued, "Islam is a part of America."
