Idk what he thinks he's doing for himself by interrupting people left and right.
This is the funniest thing I think I've watched in weeks.

Obama's not so smooth without his teleprompter.

I'm failing to understand why decrease in military spending is bad (Romney).
We only need enough to protect ourselves.

You need enough to protect yourselves and your interests abroad, which translate into economic benefits.
And don't forget that a sudden cut to defence spending would mean a lot of people will be suddenly left without a job--this doesn't even include just soldiers, officers and whatever, it also includes all the engineering and manufacturing jobs in the defence-related industries and any industries connected to those. You're gonna need to raise spending on welfare programs to take care of these people while they do nothing instead, so it'd be a losing situation.
You can probably find a lot of waste spending in that massive budget that you can cut without affecting the above too much, however.
And lol people seem to be saying that Romney won. Dunno, I think the debate kinda sucked overall. It's like they were agreeing at first, but then remembered that it's American politics and both started repeating lies and whatnot.

the Congressionals are much more significant concern

So many hilarious posts showing up on social network sites in regards to the debate.
Really was kind of a let down though overall, comedy show aspects aside. :gloom3:
Seems like a lot of people had issues with the moderator as well.

The average population isn't going to fact check. On top of that combined with Obama being visibly flustered and pushed, Romney really made himself look right tonight. So in that sense, you could say he "won" the debate. Tonight was all about putting on a show for the undecided, and I think he pulled that off well.

The man can only read. He can't talk.
Wonder what else that might apply too....
