I’ve been watching presidential debates for quite a few years, but I have never seen one like this. It wasn’t a TKO, it was a knockout. Mitt Romney was in control from the beginning. He was the alpha male, while Barack Obama was weak, hesitant, stuttering, often apologetic. The visuals were great for Romney and awful for Obama. Obama looked small, tired, defeated after four years of failure, out of ammo. One small point among many: Obama doesn’t even know how to stand at a podium, as he continually lifted up one leg. He would be below average as a high school debater.
There were 1,800 people on Power Line Live tonight, and the verdict was unanimous: it was a great night for the forces of good. Tweets through the evening tracked how the debate went. At one point, as it became obvious that Romney was dominating, my 16 year old daughter tweeted: “So uh is now a good time to mention that I’ve met Mitt Romney?” Iowahawk kept up a steady stream, including gems like: “‘What the hell is this? I was specifically told I’d be debating John Kerry.’–Inside Obama’s head.” And: “Breaking: Choom Gang revokes Obama’s membership.”

Actually, there IS more. Romney has been involved in business for much of his life. He turned around the failing Olympics and has guided other companies to success. Obama has had NO experience in business and simply doesn't understand what it takes to start, operate, and make a business profitable that provides jobs.
He may talk in generalities, but having owned 3 different small businesses, I guarantee I can understand a profit/loss statement and a balance sheet better than Obama, even with his hidden degrees. The Community Organizer in Charge has NO idea what makes free-enterprise work, especially at the small business level. And if he does, he certainly is not showing any support for it. But then that is what socialists do.
Was glad to hear Romney bring up the National Federation of Independent Business owners (NFIB). I used to contribute to them in the '90's when owning 3 small businesses. They support small companies that actually produce much of the jobs. Obama's socialist beliefs discount their efforts. He can say otherwise, but his dictated policies that interfere with small business growth is all I need to know about his socialist tendencies.
I prayed for him most of the day. Thank you God.
I did also, and have thanked God profusely for His grace to America tonight. This was a turning point for this nation. Now we must finish the task and defeat the usurper, by an indisputable margin. God once again shed His grace on us, even though we did not deserve it.
Yes, we need to thank Almighty God for hearing our prayers for this debate. We pray, he answers in our favor, we fail to remember our thanksgiving for our euphoria.
Thank you for reminding us. Thanks be to God. Forgive us, our evil course, and heal our land.
Amen Rita.
Nothing more- nothing less.
Spot on.
So did I. Thank God
One problem. Barry didn’t “rise” to state senator. He used back-handed cheap Chicago politics to have his opponent’s name removed from the ballot.
Looks like he’s thinking about retreat.
i think a better example is pol pot.
does anyone really believe he wouldn’t go full pol pot if he could get away with it??
I’ve got to agree with you. It’s a highly uncharacteristic pose for a man who is currently the POTUS, and therefore the most powerful man in the world (or so we’re told).
It certainly isn’t the mark of an alpha male.
And it’s not too beta or gamma male either.

By any chance, were you Obama’s coach for the debate? ;)
He hammered Obama over th 90 billion to green energy (among many other things).
“Would have paid for 50 years of the so-called big il welfare.”
“Could have hired two million teachers with it.”
“Talk about piking winners and losers...you only choose lossers.”
“Most of the recipients were big campaign donors of yours.”
It was a gift that kept on giving!

Ha - I see you are referring to his name instead of his comment! “I knnnooowwwww nuthinggggg”
(My pet peeve too - lectern, not podium).
That pic is definitely going into my profile!
“Still, the depths to which the Obama people can go are incalculable. They can start a war. They can start two or three wars at once.”
They can’t. Remember?
