How the Obama-Romney foreign policy debate could determine the election

[decker]

Romney needs to attack on Obama's failed immigration policy, but again, Bob Schieffer may prevent this by not even bringing it up.

Blaming the moderator BEFORE the debate? I guess it's good to set up the excuses in advance.

to be fair i could see both sides doing it if they guy polled as losing the debate

bob in no win position here.

Obama will win tonight pretty easily imo because any time Romney criticizes strategy, Obama can make him look small by reiterating that his strategies come directly from our Military.

If the strategies are coming straight from the military, why is the military up in arms about the way this administration is handling things over there?

There are only a handful of military higher ups supporting the foreign policy...pretty much the same foreign policy as Bush used and pretty much the same foreign policy of the Clinton years...minor changes between the administrations but as a whole foreign policy really hasnt changed too much over the past 20 years unfortunately.

Debates are over rated. Appearance seems to be more important. Say anything, look presidential and you have your foot in the door.

Indeed. The style over substance Jersey shore audience. Lie all you want, say stupid shit... just look good doing it.

your right and not enough substance in these debates really. But like you said apperance is important and the person who look stronger and presidential often wins elections.

agree with that. He can much bs in these debates but if you smile and look calm then you can often get away with it.

As stated above, Romney will be looking to hammer Obama on China and trade first and foremost, because such policy has direct bearing on economy and jobs.

And they will also have a spirited discussion on Hussein's shiny new Caliphate.

Of course, Bob Shieffer will furiously attempt to protect the POTUS.

Since Romney made a fortune moving jobs TO China, his advice on trade would have as much credibility as nutrition tips from Jeff Dahmner.

The definition of a Liberal as well as Obama.

Obama, who never ran so much as a Girl Scout troop, made a career out of it.

Must have hit home with you, eh? Twice now you had to refer to Pee Wee. Naturally out of the context I used him but nonetheless...

Obama has been a total shmuck on foreign policy. We'll see how effectively Romney can convey that.

Obama has been the most successful FP president in modern history.

Your masters at Fox News have lied to you.

I would stop watching if I were you.

Intelligent foreign policy only happens under Dems, not chickenhawk Pubs. Iran is cracking- under Pubs WE were the isolated country. They were a disaster abroad and at home, and Romney is a W clone, only with no personality.

Thousand of Libyans with pictures of the ambassador attacked the offending militia, the USA is actually popular there...

Barry can't really defend that Libyan clusterfuck. His State Department dropped the ball costing the lives of 4 American. He's the POTUS and the buck stops with him.

I will be interested to see if he throws Hilary under his big assed bus. I doubt Barry will take the blame. Hell. He hasn't taken the blame for anything since he's been POTUS. I wonder if he can blame his clusterfuck on Bush??

Because you missed the part where he DID take responsibility for it.

how do you go through life with your eyes squeezed shut and your fingers in your ears? Hellen Keller was blind and deaf. She'd have thought you stupid for choosing it.

Well if he took responsibility then good for him. I must have been taking a pee break at the time and missed it. I'm sure he pontificated on how much he is to blame.

Oh BTW it will be the absolute first thing OL'Barry has taken ANY responsibility for.

And you might want to leave Helen Keller out of your asshole response. I'm sure she'd thinks you're plenty stupid enough all on your own.

I wonder how tighly squeezed your eyes are and how hard you've got your fingers in your ears?? Better watch it. You might hurt yourself.

 

[francoHFW]

And Pubs seem to want wars in these places....idiocy. They never learn. If you can't tell the difference, you're duped.

Then you missed the second debate, where he was given the opportunity to go after Hillary or the State Dept. and said that the responsibility lies ultimately with him.

No. I saw the debate but missed him taking responsibility. Had to opt out for a while. Crap. You mean I missed Barry taking responsibility for something??

It must be the absolute only thing he's taken BLAME for since he's been POTUS.

He did take responsibility for fathering his children but he stopped after that.
