2012 Presidential Debate - Third and Final Debate

[candycorn]

Obama took Romney to school on military spending.

That was the worst ass whooping of the entire election season. "There are these things called aircraft carriers...."

WOW.

 

[asterism]

So where are those Bush tax cut jobs, anyway? Oh yeah, I forgot,he did create 3 million jobs in 8 yrs -- one of the worst jobs records in US history.

The economy grew and Bush's job numbers are light years better than Obama's.

Obama has already created more jobs than Bush. Try again.

Only if you start counting at the low point of his failed stimulus.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

Obama took Romney to school on military spending.

Yea, Obama just said that a weaker military is sufficient. He has the same philosophy when it comes to the economy. How'd that work?

 

[driveby]

Obama is almost as bad at two bit comedy as he is at governing....

 

[Conservative]

90% of what Obama is doing is whining about ROmney, instead of telling what HE would do.

 

[Sherry]

Fuck Obama... explaining what a carrier is and what a submarine does.\

What an asshole!!

Yeah. He also told Romney that we aren't playing a game of Battleship here.

Wish he would stop acting like that.

It's a turn off to everyone except for his hungry base.

 

[candycorn]

How do you pay for it Mitt with lower taxes?

Do any of you Fox New Teatards ask that question?

How do you pay for all this talk?

Discretionary spending cut by 5%, closing deductions, repealing Obamacare! Savings all over the place. Lets get rid of duplicative and ineffective federal programs!

Mitt wants to add more.

But he won't say who will pay for it.


Sent from my iPad.

Well, he said he won't raise taxes on the rich or the poor so it's all by closing loopholes and getting rid of Sesame Street.

In other words, he's not being honest.

Fuck Obama... explaining what a carrier is and what a submarine does.\

What an asshole!!

Oh he's clearly going to carry the vote of our service people and veterans.

Obama was condescending, but Romney deserved such with saying we have less ships since WWI and planes since WWII. Those are ignorant statements that ignore modern warefare as Obama astutely pointed out.

 

[rightwinger]

Obama just killed him on Iranian sanctions

 

[RespondsWithGif]

LOL. Of course Iran doesn't want nukes.

 

[Avatar4321]

Obama is wrong, ships occupy their physical space and command the horizon around them ........less ships less space covered, Obama sounded like an ass.

but horses.... bayonettes.

We need to neglect the navy because of that.

 

[Dutch]

Romney thinks our Navy is weaker than 1916?

He said 1917

One of today's aircraft carriers would frog stomp that entire navy!

 

[RespondsWithGif]

Everyone starts off partial, Now the biases are shining through.

 

[jillian]

Oh for fuck's sake with the class warfare bullshit...oh now, it's Boooosh and Cheney.

you understand that for most people the name cheney is not a good one.

i can't help it if romney surrounded himself with these people and wants to carry on the same policies.

LOL

Monitors? They were from the Civil War

What a Douchebag. One carrier wipes out that whole fleet

Shows what numbers are worth

 

[skye]

You know.... Obama says all options are on the table for Iran.... while Iran is getting closer to a nuclear bomb...


Obama is s full of cliches........ all options he says...... what a joke ,,, weak weak full of apologies!

 

[Conservative]

"we are not going to let Iran negotiate perpetually.. the clock is ticking... 3, maybe 4 more years is it. After that, I am putting my foot down!' Obama

 

[candycorn]

Yeah. He also told Romney that we aren't playing a game of Battleship here.

Wish he would stop acting like that.

No actually it's 100% correct. In WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, we had to pound the shoreline with battleships and cruisers. Today we fire missiles from aircraft and destroyers. Hence you need fewer ships and the battle ships are now museums.

Evolution.

Obama kicked Romney's ass.

 

[Trajan]

Oh, Obama just lost his argument big time! Romney said we have fewer ships than we did in 1917and Obama said we have fewer horses and bayonettes, too! HUH??????? The audience reacted to that!

Think Romney is taking this one! Wish more people were watching!

Do you know what ships were in 1917?

One carrier today could crush the whole navy. Numbers are irrelevant...Romney looks like an idiot for comparing our Naval power to 1917

It's not about that, one carrier can only project so far, hello.......less carriers who need the ancillary ships to go with them, less global coverage..........

One ship cannot be in several places and we need the jets to accompany them.
