The Joke in 'Boc'
Americans don't do foreign policy:
FOR ANYONE who's ever said that Americans don't care about foreign policy . . . maybe they're right.
In their crucial third and final debate just 15 days before the neck-and-neck 2012 election, which was supposed to focus on foreign policy, President Obama and his GOP challenger, Mitt Romney, frequently brought the conversation back to the economic issues they think that undecided voters care about most. At times, the talk turned to steelworkers in Ohio, math and science education, and classroom standards in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Arizona - which were not foreign countries at last check.
When the White House hopefuls did talk international affairs Monday night - in a somewhat sluggish and lackluster affair before a hushed room in Boca Raton, Fla., and more than 50 million TV viewers - they showed that on most matters in 2012 the Republicans and Democrats differ more on style than on substance, if they differ at all.
Most of the debate came down to those two little words: I agree. I'd say that voters deserved better but maybe they don't.
"I'd say that voters deserved better but maybe they don't." Looks like pantload is slowly coming to the realization that his god may be done. One thing we did learn last night: Barry was against sequestration, before he was for it.— bil,l atkins- Gallup: Romney +6. Rassmussen: Romney +4. Time to panic, Will. I guess the next thing we will hear from Will is the Race Card. — CD75

- You missed nothing unless you call Mittens complete and utter capitulation to Obama on foreign policy news. — The Fundamentals of the Economy are Fine
- He did miss Mitt's geography lesson. — carl and sons
- Is that the same class where Obama learned there was 57 states? The dude doesn't even know his own country. Give it a rest, tool.
- electoral college elects a president not popular vote. you can have the popular vote, just give me the 270 for obama. wrote a column saying how auto should go through bankruptcy without any government loans. ouch that's gonna hurt you in ohio.

- Total certainty of Romney’s intent may be elusive. John Pottow, a bankruptcy law professor at the University of Michigan Law School, said the term was used loosely in the op-ed.
"I'm not sure what it meant because the logical thing is for it to mean DIP financing," Pottow said. "But the contextual thing means exit financing, because he's implying we shouldn't do anything during bankruptcy, only after bankruptcy."
economist are at a loss to what romney meant. but we can be sure you'll try and rewrite history to suit your purpose. the destruction of the working class. - This comment has been deleted. — hannibal barca
- so your argument is that people in ohio shouldn't mind that mitt wanted to gut their pension?
- Meanwhile, The Party of Tolerance™ strikes again: “State Senator Neal Kedzie says his son was attacked while trying to stop someone from stealing his Romney/Ryan yard sign. Whitewater Police tell NBC15 News this is an active investigation. ‘Early on Friday morning, October 19th, my son Sean was awakened by noises outside his residence in Whitewater. As he went to see what the commotion was about, he noticed an individual removing a Romney/Ryan yard sign from his property. He yelled to the person that they were taking something not theirs and to return it immediately. The individual returned the sign, however, a second person confronted and attacked Sean without warning. Sean was wrestled to the ground by both persons, held down by a constricting chokehold, and struck repeatedly about the face and head. He nearly passed out from the chokehold and suffered contusions to his face and eyes.’” Chicago's favorite son, Barry Obama, bringing us together as a nation.— bil,l atkins
Who knew that "Syria is Iran's route to the sea"?! When Mitt consulted his 1850's map of the world, he failed to notice that Iran borders the sea.
Republicans are the most insufferable rub-it-in-your-face winners and the sorest in denial "say it ain't so!" losers.— wokmaster- Now, how about a generalization about the Democrats. — philly2flag
