I might be in the minority, but I thought Obama gave the best presentation of his ideas that I’ve ever seen or heard. His problem is that his ideas are critically flawed and his record of performance stinks. Hard to get past that.
It would have given Romney the opportunity to negate the falsehoods that people think Romney meant, and there goes any effectiveness from Obama’s negative Romeny ads.
Obama wants the “47%” to pay more for living along with everyone else.

The 47 percent.
I don’t know which is worse. Democrats not owning up to this key issue, or Romney taking it back.
If Obama comes back as aggressive and mean, it will turn away independents. They started to turn away during the Joe Soptic attack and he had to back off quickly. That’s why the indies will not only swing to a challenger, but especially someone like Romney, who knows his stuff. Romney stands there, looking presidential and rather paternalistic, and so reassuring. That’s what is going to cause indies and many Dems to break for him, INHO.
That was my take on why he didn’t use. He didn’t want to give Romney a chance to clear the air and make him look like the idiot he is. The simplest explanation is the best!
Obama was doing in this campaign what all Dem candidates do. They draw a cartoon of their opponent and they run against the cartoon. Unfortunately he got a dose of reality when the viewers could see for themselves that Romney was anything but a cartoon. The only cartoon on the stage was Wiley Coyote Obama who had an anvil dropped on his head at the debate.
Your joking, aren't you? You thought that was the best presentation of his ideas? Let me tell you something: Liberals have no ideas and you should really let the horses do the thinking. They have larger heads
Seriously, that WAS probably the best possible way that his ideas could have been presented... if you get my drift.
If 0 comes with 47%, the immediate hit-back is his comment about rural folks clinging to their guns, Bible, and religion and afraid of immigrants spoken to a bunch of rich elitists in Marin County.
They deliberately create this caricature and the corrupt MSM happily and dutifully go out of their way to help Democrats facilitate those constructs.
There may be another reason. Remember that old Obama video that popped up? They don’t want to see that Obama again.
You shouldn’t insult Wile E. Coyote that way!
Something I noticed during the debate.
Something that might be funny in a relaxed conversation, or on a thread on FR, but not on TV in front of millions.
Obama said he had a TWO PART PLAN. He went on to define it as ... ‘A’, I will do blah,blah,blah.
(At this point I told my son, watch, he will now say ‘2’, instead of ‘B’)
Obama then went on, and said... ‘2’ is .....blah, blah, blah.
AM I the only one that caught that ?
You can put lipstick on a pig, but it will oink, just the same. I was just remarking on Obama’s lipsticking performance. His supporters are all cursing him, but it was the best he could do.
No, you’re not the only one who noticed. In fact, it was mentioned a few times during debate posts here at FR. But I haven’t read or heard if any members of the press commented on it.
IIRC he’s done it a couple of times now. It’s more of an intentional ebonic English corruption, or Antidisenstablishmentarianism of the language.
AND THAT is what they teach at Harvard ?
