In my humble opinion, President Obama ran circles around Mitt Wrongney in the final debate last night. Mitt Wrongney went to school last night, and The President was the teacher.
The focus of the debate was supposed to be foreign policy. Much of it was neither foreign nor policy, and on several occasions it looked like Mitt Wrongney was about to cry as The President called him out on everything he said that was wrong. So, I was okay with it. And also, Mitt Wrongney agreed with what President Obama more than I have ever seen in a presidential debate. Mitt Wrongney did say it would be nice to be funny “not on purpose.” I didn’t think he meant to be as funny as he was.
Here's some of my favorite zingers from last night;
"Governor Romney, I'm glad you realize that Al Qaeda is a threat ... The Cold War has been over for 20 years," declared Obama, criticizing Romney for saying that Russia is the greatest threat to the United States.
"The 1980s called. They want their foreign policy back."
”Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military’s changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines. And so the question is not a game of Battleship where we’re counting ships.”
“Well, Governor Romney’s right. You are familiar with jobs being shipped overseas, because you invested in companies that were shipping jobs overseas.”
"We know you love teachers, I love teachers, we all love teachers." --from Bob Schieffer to Governor Mitt Wrongney who went on and on about his love of teachers. It was obvious that even he was exasperated.
Why the hell is it currently tied 50-50?
If the third presidential debate set the tone for the final two weeks of the campaign, then I expect President Obama to mock and deride his opponent all the way to the finish line and Mitt Romney to keep hammering the economy above all else.
