-- AFP: Obama pledges to succeed where Bush failed on bin LadenObama said Wednesday that Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden remain the "number one threat" to US security. He spoke after a new voice recording emerged from the terror group's leader in which bin Laden called for a holy war to restore "Jerusalem and Palestine."
Said Obama: "We're going to do everything in our power to make sure that they cannot create safe havens that can attack Americans. That's the bottom line."
In an October 7 debate during the presidential campaign Obama said that if elected, his administration "will kill bin Laden. We will crush Al-Qaeda." Bin Laden is widely believed to be hiding in the mountainous border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Bush had earlier vowed to catch bin Laden "Dead or Alive," and placed a 25-million-dollar bounty on the Al-Qaeda leader's head. Striking back at bin Laden and Al-Qaeda was the reason for the US-led 2001 invasion of Afghanistan.
In a late Wednesday interview with CBS News, Obama signaled a more measured approach to catching the ever-elusive bin Laden, refusing to deliver any "dead or alive" ultimatums.
"I think that we have to so weaken his infrastructure that, whether he is technically alive or not, he is so pinned down that he cannot function," Obama said.
"My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him. But if we have so tightened the noose that he's in a cave somewhere and can't even communicate with his operatives, then we will meet our goal of protecting America."

he did not have a petulant attitude. Are you just repeating what karl rove said??? I think so. President obama was on his game last night and romney looked like a deer caught in the headlights. You and your pals are just pissed off that the prez made romney look like the chump that he is.
too much msnbc, my friend.
the sad part is kooks like rinata actually believe the trite tripe they are spewing.
i'll grant you that in style pres. Obama came across better than he did in his disastrous first debate. Hell, style wise (due to the format) he seemed less irrational than even his second debate performance.
But his debate 3 performance overall was not that of a "winner."

So what happened to the Mittster nailing the Prez to the wall on Benghazi?
Simple.
1) He looked like an idiot the last time he brought it up
2) Information proved the presidents point, not Mitts.
No point in rehashing it. Obama lied about Benghazi. When your enemy is destroying himself sit back and watch it happen. Don't help him.

[Jim] –
I don’t want to lose this election.
Not because of what losing would mean for me — Michelle and I will be fine no matter what happens.
But because of what it would mean for our country and middle-class families.
This race is very close. I’m not willing to watch the progress you and I worked so hard to achieve be undone.
Time is running out to make an impact — please don’t wait any longer. Donate $5 or more today:…
I believe in you. If you stick with me, and if we fight harder than ever for the next two weeks, I truly believe we can’t lose.
Thank you,
Barack
I don't think you believe the idiocy you post.
I think you post the shit you do to serve the party, but I think you're smart enough to know it's all partisan bullshit.
It's just that like most leftists, you're completely devoid of integrity.
he would only accomplish this in your dreams. But then he'll only be president in your dreams.
the important thing is to get that incompetent fuck obama out of office before he finishes destroying our economy.
Romney will allow a recovery to occur; which will put america back on track.
If he's so clear on it, clearly present it here.
{Part one of Mitts plan is to achieve energy independence on this continent by 2020. America is blessed with extraordinary natural resources, and developing them will create millions of good jobs not only in the energy industry, but also in industries like manufacturing that will benefit from more energy at lower prices. Americas economy will boom when the billions of dollars we send overseas for our oil are kept here at home instead.
Part two of the plan is trade that works for America. Mitt believes that trade can offer enormous opportunities for American businesses and workers, but only if they are given a level playing field on which they can compete and win. That is why he will work to open new markets for American goods and services, while also confronting nations like China that cheat on trade and steal American jobs.
Part three is to provide Americans with the skills to succeed through better public schools, better access to higher education, and better retraining programs that help to match unemployed workers with real-world job opportunities.
Part four is to cut the deficit, reducing the size of government and getting the national debt under control so that America remains a place where businesses want to open up shop and hire.
Finally, part five of Mitts plan is to champion small business. Small businesses are the engine of job creation in this country, but they will struggle to succeed if taxes and regulations are too burdensome or if a government in Washington does its best to stifle them. Mitt will pursue comprehensive tax reform that lowers tax rates for all Americans, and he will cut back on the red tape that drives up costs and discourages hiring.}

I wonder how many dumb asses are going to vote before the debate even happens? Wait... We already have a winner.
Jon Stewart wins no matter what.
I made the mistake of thinking this was a prediction poll, not a post debate poll, so I was indeed a dumbass when I voted.
I don't think I'll likely be changing my vote post debate.
What can I say to someone like you??? Not much. You won't get it. All I'll say is that your post describes YOU perfectly.

Rinata; I don't think I've ever seen a worthwhile post from you. All you post is idiocy you read off of KOS or ThinkProgress.
Seriously, you appear to be nothing but a hack. Does anything other than promoting your shameful party matter to you?
Forget it, slick. It seems you have a mistaken idea that what you say to me is very impressive. It's not. You're wasting your time. I couldn't care less what someone like you thinks of me. Believe it and quit wasting your time and mine.
