Second Presidential Debate

[BLADE]

The child of penury versus the child of privilege. Clearly, I favor the aristocratic Mr. Romney (it's about time you Yankees put your betters in charge) but your President's comparative humanity may hold him in better stead with your 'human' demographic.

The official thread for all honourable and gentlemanly talk on the subject.

I wonder if President Obama will show up this time.

 

[BLADE]

This first debate really counts. Imagine if seventy million people were watching and he failed under pressure. Most embarrassing.

Also, it has been reported that the Right Hon. Romney has had to practice sitting on a barstool. Why they shall not be given divans as is fitting to their station, I shall never know.

Did Romney say that the top five percent of America's earners pay sixty percent of the taxes?

Or did I hear that wrong.

He did. I'm also pretty sure that he said something about eliminating capital gains tax? That was more in passing as I just tuned in but...uh....

 

[Shiuzu]

I find it hard to listen to Romney.

 

[Mars]

It causes physical pain, yes.

I like how Obama called him out on the coal.

 

[BLADE]

My lady wife noted that President Obama has a pastor's cadence, "The more he speaks, honey, the more he gets up steam. Romney is getting frazzled."

So on style, I think Romney's been rattled. He started, I have to admit, strong, but he's coming across as scattershot now. And Obama absolutely killed him, I mean just destroyed him utterly on that Bush question.

 

[Shiuzu]

Oh my god, stop talking about Regan you talking head.

Did Lorraine just call him President?

 

[Mars]

Oh my god, stop talking about Regan you talking head.

Did Lorraine just call him President?

I think she nodded to 'bama when she said that.

Romney's 5 plan debate strategy:

1. What Obama said is not true.
2. What I say is true.
3. Shutup moderator.
4. I am right.
5. Next question please.

 

[Random Hero]

This is such a shitshow.

 

[BLADE]

This is such a shitshow.

Waaah?

Not really, no. I'm far to Obama's left, but he's being far more substantive and upbeat than Romney. Try again, dear.

You need a .gif of him counting to five.

 

[BLADE]

He's only holding up four fingers, but we all know what Mitt Romney thinks of math.

Didn't he steal that from Kaeb?

That's an out of date Romneybot model, obviously. Not to say this one improved.
