The debate itself was probably a draw , mainly because Crowley killed the Libya momentum. However Obama is the one who left the lines out there that will keep giving Romney talking points. The gas price logic may be the stupidest line ever. Romney did still miss the op last night but can go back to it now, why was Rice sent out to lie to the American people. Energy, lower wages foe women in White House , Etc.
As Cousin Eddy said in Christmas Vacation about the Jelly of the month club, "the gift that keeps giving all year long"
Monday night (foreign policy) should be interesting.
Another thing that lies undigested about last night: Obama’s brusque dismissal of low-paying jobs. Forget ‘em. They’re not coming back.
A lot of people would be very happy to take those jobs. Particularly young people without much experience. Instead they’re learning how to collect welfare on their own.
“The gas price logic may be the stupidest line ever.”
Government-mandated fuel efficiency will double how far your car can go on a tank of gas. But gas doubled in price since Obama took office, so in a few years when you buy a new car you might break even on your gas bill.
Also, the cost of gas is driving up the cost of most consumable goods. It is a hidden tax. Cost of living is up. Employment and wages are down.
The CAFE standard Obama initiated will be rolled back. That was just a bone for his Enviro-weenie base. There is just no way that the avg. fuel economy of a automobile manufacturer can be 52mpg. Not with technology as it is now. Hell, I wish it was feasible and in the future it may be. But let the market sort it out.
Oh, something else. I’ve been in to automobile business over 20 years. In 2008, the govt changed the way fuel ecomony was rated. Every vehicles mileage rating was reduced approx 10%. I sell GM and Toyota at our dealership. The GM vehicles get less mileage than rated. Across the board. Toyotas consistently get higher mileage than rated. With the exception of Tundra which gets about what the rating is.
What a coincidence.
Yeah, NObama wants it both ways. On the one hand, he insists he stated from the Rose Garden talk the day after the attack, that it was an act of terrorism; on the other, he and his minions sent Susan Rice (Ambassador to the UN) on all the sunday talk shows 5 days after the attack - and 4 days after his Rose Garden talk - the following Sunday to state that the attack was the result of a video.
And let’s not forget the statements to the U.N. and to the Pakistan citezenry. It’s quite apparent they’re apologizing for our 1st Amendment rights, and it’s also as if they’re attempting to stir up passions around the world against our 1st Amendment rights.
He needs to be called to account about what his real motivations are.
