NOTES WHILE WATCHING THE THIRD PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

 

WHEN BOTH CANDIDATES WALK ONTO THE STAGE, OBAMA APPLAUDS BACK AT THE AUDIENCE BUT ROMNEY DOESN’T

ROMNEY’S SH*T-FACED GRIN IS ANNOYING

ROMNEY IS WRITING SOMETHING WHILE LOOKING DOWN

OBAMA IS REITERATING THAT ROMNEY’S IDEAS ARE ALL OVER THE MAP

ROMNEY IS ACCUSING OBAMA OF ATTACKING HIM

“I’M NOT GOING TO WEAR ROSE-COLORED GLASSES ON RUSSIA”, SAID ROMNEY

ROMNEY’S GRIN AND HIS WATERY EYES ARE STILL ANNOYING…DOES HE HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM?

OBAMA’S ANSWER ON SYRIA IS RATHER LONG AND WEAK

OBAMA’S RESPONSE ON EGYPT WAS ALSO LONG AND WINDING

ROMNEY DIDN’T DISAGREE WITH OBAMA’S HANDLING OF EGYPT, BUT ROMNEY SWITCHED TO THE ECONOMY ISSUE

ROMNEY: I’VE GO T A POLICY FOR THE FUTURE

“SYRIA IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US”, SAID ROMNEY

ROMNEY’S ANSWER ON THE SYRIA QUESTION IS MORE SUCCINCT AND STRONGER

OBAMA’S SECOND RESPONSE ON SYRIA WAS MUCH BETTER AND MORE SPECIFIC

ROMNEY IS RAMBLING AND REPETITIVE

OBAMA IS GIVING SPECIFICS ON EDUCATION, AND CRITICIZING ROMNEY

ROMNEY IS PATTING HIMSELF ON THE BACK FOR HIS SUCCESS IN EDUCATION IN MASSACHUSETTS, AND OBAMA INTERJECTS

“WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE MONEY?” ASKS MODERATOR BOB SCHIEFFER (ON INCREASING THE BUDGET FOR THE MILITARY)

ROMNEY: COME ON OUR WEBSITE AND YOU’LL SEE HOW WE GET A BALANCED BUDGET.  I’LL GET RID OF OBAMACARE RIGHT AWAY.

OBAMA: ROMNEY’S MATH DOESN’T ADD UP.  OUR MILITARY SPENDING HAS GONE UP EVERY YEAR SINCE I’VE BEEN IN OFFICE.  HE WANTS TO SPEND ANOTHER TWO TRILLION DOLLARS ON MILITARY SPENDING THAT OUR MILITARY’S NOT ASKING FOR

ROMNEY IS COMPLAINING THAT OUR MILITARY IS TOO SMALL

OBAMA GIVES SOME ZINGERS AND FINGERS:

WELL GOVERNOR, WE ALSO HAVE FEWER HORSES AND BAYONETS

WE HAVE THESE THINGS CALLED AIRCRAFT CARRIERS WHERE PLANES LAND ON THEM

[LAUGHTER IN THE AUDIENCE]

WE HAVE THESE SHIPS THAT GO UNDERWATER---NUCLEAR SUBMARINES

BOTH CANDIDATES’ ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION ON IRAN WERE LONG, BUT OBAMA SEEMED MORE CONVINCING

ROMNEY IS SCARING US ABOUT IRAN, JIHAD, CHINA, NORTH KOREA, RUSSIA, AND TUMULT IN THE WORLD ETC. ETC.

OBAMA AGAIN SAYS THAT ROMNEY’S POSITIONS ON FOREIGN POLICY HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE MAP

ANSWERS ABOUT CHINA AND IRAN WERE QUITE WORDY

OBAMA TELLS ROMNEY THAT HE KEEPS TRYING TO AIRBRUSH HISTORY

ROMNEY SAID (AGAIN): I LOVE TEACHERS

CLOSING STATEMENTS:

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH

 

IT’S THE OIL STUPID!
