He’s back.
Last night our president was articulate and forceful — in sharp contrast to his performance in the first presidential debate. He stated his beliefs. He defended his record. He told America where he wanted to take the nation in his second term.
And he explained where Romney wanted to take us.
For example: “Romney says he’s got a five-point plan. Governor Romney doesn’t have a five-point plan; he has a one-point plan. And that plan is to make sure that folks at the top play by a different set of rules. That’s been his philosophy in the private sector; that’s been his philosophy as governor; that’s been his philosophy as a presidential candidate. You can make a lot of money and pay lower tax rates than somebody who makes a lot less. You can ship jobs overseas and get tax breaks for it. You can invest in a company, bankrupt it, lay off the workers, strip away their pensions, and you still make money.”
And:
“Governor Romney … was on ‘60 Minutes’ just two weeks ago, and he was asked, is it fair for somebody like you, making $20 million a year, to pay a lower tax rate than a nurse or a bus driver, somebody making $50,000 a year? And he said, yes, I think that’s fair. Not only that, he said, I think that’s what grows the economy. Well, I fundamentally disagree with that.”
Obama told voters what Romney’s plan was for women (take away their freedom of choice), and for Hispanics (allow police to stop them and demand proof of citizenship, as in the Arizona law “that’s his [Romney’s] policy, and it’s bad policy.”)
He took responsibility for the security lapse in Libya, but made sure Americans understood the danger

I am looking at Yahoo’s story by Greenfield how Obama won. The comment section is 3 against 1 pro-Romney. People see what Obama is and they know they have been had. It’s only the most dedicated Liberals or the gimmie idiots left.
Where’s the BARF alert. TBH who cares what he thinks.
Thanks for the humor, I guess.
Obama never left. He is the same communist who likes to play golf.
Don’t you think Obama looks tired?
America will be communist for the next 40 years!
Really, I wish I had a pet dwarf syncophant too.
The only thing Rob Reich lacks is a hat with bells
on it.
I want to start singing that Randy Newman song...what was it, again?
C’mon folks. It doesn’t matter what Obama did in the debate.
What matters is what the MSM says Obama did in the debate.
GOD forbid, but if by chance it did. Those same people will come back and DEMAND to know WHY they were not warned. Guaranteed that will be their response.
Isn’t reich one of those minimum wage should be $20 an hour people. (probably $40 an hour)
The comments following Reich’s column don’t exactly reflect the same position he has taken. Most are anti-Obama,,some anti-Reich. I guess it’s Reich’s turn to participate in the media-must-shill-and-cover-for-Obama exercise.
“He defended his record.”
He made stuff up. His record is indefensible.
Obama said “When I WAS President” during the debate last night. Someone better tell him he’s on a Come Back?
... and he still lost more than he gained by the morning light.
Funny that this mental midget thought this remark was a highlight of the evening - I thought it was intellectually lazy and punkish.
the liberals seem to be in some weird parallel universe. They are merely comparing obama’s first debate to his second debate and calling it a “Win.”
He just didn’t suck quite as bad in the 2nd go-round and Romney won the 2nd debate. It isn’t complicated.
I didn’t know that that little sock-puppet was still alive.
