Official Presidential Debate thread 10/16

[hollohas]

Bama is killing me. Calling Romney a lier but then himself told a bunch of lies.

Obama said his green energy would create jobs. Romeny should have followed up with Solindra...yeah, that created a bunch of jobs, prez.

Moderator gave Bama last word on question he got first response to. She tried to cut Romeny off, he called her out on her BS. As Romeny started to respond, Bama said "I'm used to being interrupted." but Romney didn't interupt him at all.

This is getting chippy

His policies haven't had time to take full effect. We were on the verge of another great depression, which is why we haven't seen the full turnaround.

Obama says Romney was on 60 minutes and said it was fair for him to pay a smaller tax rate because that will grow jobs. Obama says he wants the top to pay more

Romney responds: if you bring rates down, it is easier for businesses to keep their capital which allows them to hire more people. If you bring rates down, they keep more money and hire more people.

43 months with unemployment above 8%.

Obama has a funny smirk on his face

Romney wants to help small businesses. He knows why jobs come and go, he has been there, done that.
