I would like to ask a question for the debate tonight.
For Romney: Do you intend to privatize Social Security & Medicare? If he says yes: Would you inform the people who WILL BE affected what would happen if THE MARKET CRASHES? Would you also inform the people, that a CEO of a private corporation WILL HAVE A BIGGER SALARY in the MILLIONS of dollars and that salary will come out of taxpayers enrolled in Social Security while the salary of a civil servant that administers the program now is in the $60,000? Would you inform to those affected that if the market crashes that the ones who will get paid first WON'T be the beneficiaries of the program but the CEOs and the high hierarchy employees and stock holders & the beneficiaries will get the same that they will get when a 401K goes kapput, a letter informing them of the loss?

you can't hide from the truth,
Obama will try to misdirect,
try to show the economy is improving, but it's slowest recovery on record.
question is? would it be better with someone else in charge, someone well verse in business.
wonder who that could be?
foreign affairs, stopping iran from getting the bomb.
Biden said iran is far from getting the bomb. we know everything Israel knows, obama talks
bi bi regularly
truth: it is easier to build the bomb, than to get the fissionable materials.(what do you think iranian scientists were doing in north korea? learning make kimchi or build a bomb?
we know exactly how far Iran is in getting fissionable materials,
Do you really think so, how many times have be been taken by complete surprise.
any one recall pearl harbor, or 9-11,
Obama is sending mixed signals to iran, by know talking to netanyahu, instead going to the view. From what i read there was a undergound message sent to Iran, as long as you do not attack American interests we will not attack you, sounds like if a shooting war breaks we will
not help defend Israel. Iran has be given the green light.
obama will play the class warfare card, rich against the middle class.
but the rich create the jobs, and threaten to cut jobs if tax more under the obama plan.
also more jobs are created by lowing taxes than increasing them
chew on that Obama.
Obama does not have a leg to stand on.
there is so much more he can be attack on.

I think President Obama will do fine as long Crowley allows the audience to voice their questions without much interference and can ignore her superiors instructions to keep this "horse race" close lest they lose out on the billions of campaign ad dollars expected to be spent if things stay close in the "polls"
One suggestion I would make to the President, progressive media commentators, etc.. is to replace the term "middle class" with "Working class". I think anybody making less than $50-60k per year and struggling just can't fully relate to what exactly middle class is.

Reply to Gerry Wilson:
You say PBO cannot blame it all on the GOP congress obstruction. Well, he hasn't. But the electorate should be smart enough to recognize that our government is composed of three parts. The president can propose, which he has, he can say what he wants them to do, which he has done. Every bill or proposal HAS to pass both houses before the president can sign them into law or policy. How ignorant can you be as not to know that? He did not get the saboteur GOP congress cooperation, so he went behind them to the different departments.
That is how we are going on our way up and we are in the positive side of the graphs, in spite of the GOP bad congress. If we had a cooperative Democratic congress, vote ration of 60/40 we would be in much better shape. But we are on our way up and we should not go back to the policies that put us in check mate.
Ann Romney compared our future to a game of strategy. That is criminal. We are not pawns.
GOP Bush gave public money, our taxes to private companies to move overseas. We lost 43,000 industries and 8 million jobs. If Romney wins we will see more jobs moving to China. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/13/1143996/-The-Sansata-Story-Could-Destroy-Romney
Look what the GOP congress did to the US Embassy in Libya and all sites in the Middle East.

Terrorism is the only way Islamic radical groups react to any one who is using their freedom of expression against their prophet or religion. It is a command established in their Qu'ran.
Qur'an:8:12 "I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle."
Of course we know that not all Muslims will react the same way, but it is all terrorism whether it is because of the film or not. I know they waited until the anniversary of the 9/11 massacre because for them that was a victory. But their excuse could have been anything. It is ignorant that now everyone is arguing about whether it was in protest or a terrorist act. It was both. Radical Muslims do not peacefully protest.

Romney and Ryan Have Resorted to Lying as a Form of Debating
Romney's criticisms of Obama -- on full display during the debates -- don't even make sense.
October 12, 2012 |
Salon / By Jonathan Bernstein
The hallmark of Republican thinking these days, especially as expressed in Romney/Ryan rhetoric, is just the sheer laziness of it. That’s presumably a consequence of having developed an amazingly efficient partisan press. There’s just very little incentive remaining to develop actual policies or even a real critique of Barack Obama’s administration. After all, if the president is a Kenyan socialist intent on destroying the United States, it’s hardly necessary to explain exactly where his policies are going wrong or why.
That often shows up in the way that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan dissemble. Every presidential campaign lies, but what distinguishes this crowd is a lazy mendacity in which there’s not even an attempt to make their falsehoods plausible ( here’s another recent, excellent example ).
But it also shows up in their basic rhetoric. Why put together a critique of Barack Obama’s foreign policy when they can just refer to unspecified disasters and know that anyone watching Fox News will nod in agreement? And thus we get Paul Ryan’s astonishingly substance-free line that “What we are witnessing, as we turn on our television screens these days, is the absolute unraveling of the Obama foreign policy.”
Ryan trotted out “unraveling” three times in the vice-presidential debate.
The first one was at the end of a scattershot answer that was mostly about Libya:
And with respect to Afghanistan and the 2014 deadline, we agree with a 2014 transition. But what we also want to do is make sure that we’re not projecting weakness abroad, and that’s what’s happening here. This Benghazi issue would be a tragedy in and of itself. But unfortunately it’s indicative of a broader problem, and that is what we are watching on our TV screens is the unraveling of the Obama foreign policy, which is making the world more — more chaotic and us less safe.
Apparently something is happening “on our TV screens” that’s self-evident to Ryan. Now, I have no doubt that on certain TV screens – the ones permanently set to Fox News – all sorts of terrible things are happening as a direct result of Obama’s incompetence. Or, perhaps, Obama’s deliberate preference for those horrible outcomes. But it would be nice for Ryan to give us some sort of clue about it. His critique is that the U.S. is “projecting weakness abroad” (how?), and that’s resulting in … something. What? No idea.
So that’s one try. Next:
Look, this was the anniversary of 9/11. It was Libya, a country we knew we had al-Qaeda cells there. As we know, al-Qaeda and its affiliates are on the rise in northern Africa. And we did not give our ambassador in Benghazi a Marine detachment? Of course there is an investigation so we can make sure that this never happens again. But when it comes to speaking up for our values, we should not apologize for those.
Here is the problem. Look at all the various issues out there and that’s unraveling before our eyes. The vice president talks about sanctions on Iran.
At which point he was asked a question about Iran and answered it. “Unraveling”? There’s surely plenty of room for criticizing Barack Obama’s Iran policy, either that it’s too hawkish or not hawkish enough, but it’s really hard to understand an argument that Iran policy is “unraveling before our eyes.” Unwise? Perhaps. Short-sighted? Maybe. Unraveling before our eyes? How? The only obvious news out of Iran is the collapse of their currency, which, for better or worse, is awfully hard to cast as an unraveling of a tough sanctions policy. Indeed, it seems suspiciously like the consequences of a successful tough sanctions policy! Again, one can criticize the policy, but how is it unraveling before our eyes?

@Gerry Wilson our country is on the right track and has gotten much better than when president Obama first took office. It's just been slower than he and us wished. And you can blame it ALL on republician obstruction in the house and senate. If you need to learn how our goverment works I suggest going back to school. The president can't do much at all with out the majority of the house and senate going along with his plan. And the senate and house can't do anything without the approval of the president. It's called VETO. So the republican house has just tried to veto president Obama out of office and left us working and poorer classes to suffer while they sit back and count their millions in the bank until the next election.

We need to send PBO a good cooperative congress that loves this country and its people. The GOP congress has been obstructing for 2 years. And the first 2 years the rules of congress were changed. In order to pass something they needed 60 votes. ALERT: there are some Republicans who are running as Democrats. Be carefull how you vote. They want to get into congress to vote against Democratic policies.
That is how we got to have 10% controlling 90% of the wealth while the 90% shares only 10% of the wealth. We need better policies. Vulture Capitalism is not good capitalism. We have practice good capitalism before we can do it again. Vulture Capitalism is immoral.
Jarrett Wold - 12 years ago
I think he does. It also depends on what Mitt Romney's assumptions are going in and how Obama exploits those assumptions. If he can successfully bait and switch Romney in terms of delivery and performance, the win could be dramatic. If he doesn't win, it could very well demoralize turnout. Turnout along with what appears to be an under-sampled demographic in Latino voters will decide this election.

He had his chance and should lose for the same reason Ford, Bush Sr and Carter lost--he did not fulfill his campaign promises and he can't blame it all on Republican obstructionism.

Mr. President,
We the 47% are depending on you. The racism, discrimination and other appalling behavior that Romney/Ryan exhibit in certain circles is only a hint of what is to come. How can conscientious Americans consider voting for these jack-booted thugs?
The Republican party will lay waste to the sacrifices of the many who fought and died for this country and rob the American people of the few rights we may have.
You guys ought to be on Comedy Central.
horrible format!!!!
Hope he does. Tired of Romney campaign robo calling me for a donation. I hate liars.
Some one need to ask Romney to show the last ten years of his tax returnes, At this debate.
NOT LIKE new site format, PLEASE change it back.
RACIST T-SHIRT, COMMENT FORM JASON THOMPSON, DVD LYING, ... MAKE ME SICK!
WE THE AMERICAN VOTERS WILL DEFEAT THE EVIL REPUBLICANS THE WAY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS HAD PREPARED FOR US! DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL PROTECT AND DEFEND THE DEMOCRACY OF THE UNITED STATES! STOP RACISTS AND SLAVERY IN THE 21ST CENTURY!

Of course our president will win the debate. The GOP is only trying to appeal to the uneducated crowd, the racists, the birthers and the tea party. I beleive the majority of Americans won't fall for all the lies.

The GOP have sold their souls to the devil.

Reply to Gerry Wilson:
You say PBO cannot blame it all on the GOP congress obstruction. Well, he hasn't. But the electorate should be smart enough to recognize that our government is composed of three parts. The president can propose, which he has, he can say what he wants them to do, which he has done. Every bill or proposal HAS to pass both houses before the president can sign them into law or policy. How ignorant can you be as not to know that? He did not get the saboteur GOP congress cooperation, so he went behind them to the different departments.
That is how we are going on our way up and we are in the positive side of the graphs, in spite of the GOP bad congress. If we had a cooperative Democratic congress, vote ration of 60/40 we would be in much better shape. But we are on our way up and we should not go back to the policies that put us in check mate.
Ann Romney compared our future to a game of strategy. That is criminal. We are not pawns.
GOP Bush gave public money, our taxes to private companies to move overseas. We lost 43,000 industries and 8 million jobs. If Romney wins we will see more jobs moving to China. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/13/1143996/-The-Sansata-Story-Could-Destroy-Romney
Look what the GOP congress did to the US Embassy in Libya and all sites in the Middle East.

Terrorism is the only way Islamic radical groups react to any one who is using their freedom of expression against their prophet or religion. It is a command established in their Qu'ran.
Qur'an:8:12 "I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle."
Of course we know that not all Muslims will react the same way, but it is all terrorism whether it is because of the film or not. I know they waited until the anniversary of the 9/11 massacre because for them that was a victory. But their excuse could have been anything. It is ignorant that now everyone is arguing about whether it was in protest or a terrorist act. It was both. Radical Muslims do not peacefully protest.
The first time Preident Obama wasn't prepared to debate a LIAR. It's two weeks later, just wait till Mittie is faced with the TRUTH.
Romney and Ryan Have Resorted to Lying as a Form of Debating
Romney's criticisms of Obama -- on full display during the debates -- don't even make sense.
October 12, 2012 |
Salon / By Jonathan Bernstein
The hallmark of Republican thinking these days, especially as expressed in Romney/Ryan rhetoric, is just the sheer laziness of it. That’s presumably a consequence of having developed an amazingly efficient partisan press. There’s just very little incentive remaining to develop actual policies or even a real critique of Barack Obama’s administration. After all, if the president is a Kenyan socialist intent on destroying the United States, it’s hardly necessary to explain exactly where his policies are going wrong or why.
That often shows up in the way that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan dissemble. Every presidential campaign lies, but what distinguishes this crowd is a lazy mendacity in which there’s not even an attempt to make their falsehoods plausible ( here’s another recent, excellent example ).
But it also shows up in their basic rhetoric. Why put together a critique of Barack Obama’s foreign policy when they can just refer to unspecified disasters and know that anyone watching Fox News will nod in agreement? And thus we get Paul Ryan’s astonishingly substance-free line that “What we are witnessing, as we turn on our television screens these days, is the absolute unraveling of the Obama foreign policy.”
Ryan trotted out “unraveling” three times in the vice-presidential debate.
The first one was at the end of a scattershot answer that was mostly about Libya:
And with respect to Afghanistan and the 2014 deadline, we agree with a 2014 transition. But what we also want to do is make sure that we’re not projecting weakness abroad, and that’s what’s happening here. This Benghazi issue would be a tragedy in and of itself. But unfortunately it’s indicative of a broader problem, and that is what we are watching on our TV screens is the unraveling of the Obama foreign policy, which is making the world more — more chaotic and us less safe.
Apparently something is happening “on our TV screens” that’s self-evident to Ryan. Now, I have no doubt that on certain TV screens – the ones permanently set to Fox News – all sorts of terrible things are happening as a direct result of Obama’s incompetence. Or, perhaps, Obama’s deliberate preference for those horrible outcomes. But it would be nice for Ryan to give us some sort of clue about it. His critique is that the U.S. is “projecting weakness abroad” (how?), and that’s resulting in … something. What? No idea.
So that’s one try. Next:
Look, this was the anniversary of 9/11. It was Libya, a country we knew we had al-Qaeda cells there. As we know, al-Qaeda and its affiliates are on the rise in northern Africa. And we did not give our ambassador in Benghazi a Marine detachment? Of course there is an investigation so we can make sure that this never happens again. But when it comes to speaking up for our values, we should not apologize for those.
Here is the problem. Look at all the various issues out there and that’s unraveling before our eyes. The vice president talks about sanctions on Iran.
At which point he was asked a question about Iran and answered it. “Unraveling”? There’s surely plenty of room for criticizing Barack Obama’s Iran policy, either that it’s too hawkish or not hawkish enough, but it’s really hard to understand an argument that Iran policy is “unraveling before our eyes.” Unwise? Perhaps. Short-sighted? Maybe. Unraveling before our eyes? How? The only obvious news out of Iran is the collapse of their currency, which, for better or worse, is awfully hard to cast as an unraveling of a tough sanctions policy. Indeed, it seems suspiciously like the consequences of a successful tough sanctions policy! Again, one can criticize the policy, but how is it unraveling before our eyes?
Romney is a grinning Cheshire cat - disappears when you try to pin him down!! All of our energy and hope is with our POTUS
One choice now (Obama); Multiple choice Never (Romney)!
how can any one be for a man who doesn't even know what he is for, i saw him say i dont know if i said it but if i said it i meant itWHAT this from a man who wonts to be president why does his campaign have to go around behind him saying he didnt really mean what he said and why is the bush adminastration telling him what to do they already failed this country, do we wont that again i for one do not
The Commander in Chief will beat the Liar in Chief, by revealing all his lies.
President Barack Obama will call Romney on his lies one after the other. The American people know Mitt Romney and his Right-Wing Puppet Masters are serial liars and we will NOT let them get away with it !!
We are mad as hell and we are NOT going to take it any more !
Obama will win tomorrow and on November 6th, because he does what he says he will do. You will hear it now and for the next 4-years.
Please vote!
Tom Kime
President Obama needs to stand up for all his supporters and the still undecided voters and call Romney out on all his lies and clearly state what he is going to do the next four years if reelected. I need to see him do this or I can't say I will be voting for him and I'm democrat. He came across very flat during the last debate and appeared uncaring.
The POTUS will be on his "A" Game!!! Romney's not "entitled" to be President because he has money......................! Whatever Romney brings, he'll wished that he stayed on the porch!! #littledogsstayontheporch.
YES! When BHO's back is against the wall, he comes through. POTUS will hammer hard on the major issues from WMRs 47% "gaffe" to his deplorable lack of understanding of foreign policy. He knows what's at stake--the future of our country and of the American people.
mitt romney know that a LIE will not stand and he will have a hard time keeping up with a LIE.
The president needs to appear presidential, but he's already exposed this guy lies. Now correct each of those with the real truth. A women asked Chris about the president being a communist. robMe is the one, selling jobs to communist China and Vietnam. And robMe wants the president to be tough on China, to help his chinese company. What stones robMe has
Will be watching the debate and checking in on the New York Yankees/Detroit Tigers baseball game. Let us hope that both the President and Yankees win tomorrow night.
If the President does not show passion and put forth a fighting demeanor by speaking truth to lies, he will sadly lose. There will be no rebound from a second losing debate.
Obama Stalin will set there like a deer in the headlights.he has no one there to hold is hand and tell him what to say. i would ask Obama all the tax payers money u spent on gree energy all those companies went bank rupt. how about this one were all the shovel ready jobs at. Thhis m MR. STALIN why did u bow down to a saudi king. why did you appoligize for america.WE ARE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WE DONT NEED TO APPOLIGIZE TO ANY ONE. MR STALIN why was are amircan ambassor killed 9/11 why didnt u send them more securtity like they asked. MR stalin why did u blame this on a video and u knew it was a attack. MR STALIN why are you covering the attack up for. MR ED you are a piece of garbage and a socialist pig just chris matthews and rachel maddow
The President needs and will GET TO WORK!
President Obama will win the next TWO debates & will be re-elected.
I hope President Obama,Politely ask Mitt the Twitt name the 6 independent studies on his Tax reform,and if he lies again, the President should direct him to go ask Fox News,Those studies don hold H2O.
The President will win it hands down. Truth over lies win everytime.
@Gerry Wilson our country is on the right track and has gotten much better than when president Obama first took office. It's just been slower than he and us wished. And you can blame it ALL on republician obstruction in the house and senate. If you need to learn how our goverment works I suggest going back to school. The president can't do much at all with out the majority of the house and senate going along with his plan. And the senate and house can't do anything without the approval of the president. It's called VETO. So the republican house has just tried to veto president Obama out of office and left us working and poorer classes to suffer while they sit back and count their millions in the bank until the next election.
what is wrong with people can't they tell by the faces he makes that he's lying?
Obama will win. He's continued to keep promises he made in spite of the worst obstructionism we've seen. Unemployment is below 8%....a promise. Healthcare reform....a promise. Turned the economy around....a promise. Pulling out of two wars....a promise. Women's rights and same pay for the same work...a promise. General Motors is a live and well, Bin Laden is not....2 promises. Romney is a lying flip-flopper from whom I wouldn't buy a used car.
He is more comfortable under a town hall setting and is better prepared this time.
He is the stronger candidate and will show it in this next debate. Between the current economic uptrends, smart, positive ads like the new one with Morgan Freeman, and the early voting in Ohio, he will not only prevail in this next debate, but he will remain our POTUS. :)
I cannot believe anyone would vote for Mitt & Paul. They're eletist 1%er's who want to take away decent jobs away from all, and a woman's right to chose! Don't care if the President wins the debate or not......at least our president tries for and cares about ALL of us.
If you vote for romney all he will do is bring us more war. I should know i been to Iraq three time and saw some of my fellow Soldiers died. Plus I saw some of my friends lost there jobs under Bush and Romney will take us back to that era.
Gods speed tomorrow night Mr. President. You have it in you and we know you fight for all f us not just 47% like the lying Romney and Ryan. Speak softly but have the big stick ready when needed. America is with you. OBAMA THEN OBAMA NOW.
Obama will win because all he has to do is tell the truth and motivate the American people.
WHY YOU ALL STOP PLAYING THE AD OF MR ROMNEY SAYING THE 47% NOT ALL THE PEOPLE HAVE SEEN IT.
The POTUS knows where he went wrong. He won't repeat himself.
We need to send PBO a good cooperative congress that loves this country and its people. The GOP congress has been obstructing for 2 years. And the first 2 years the rules of congress were changed. In order to pass something they needed 60 votes. ALERT: there are some Republicans who are running as Democrats. Be carefull how you vote. They want to get into congress to vote against Democratic policies.
That is how we got to have 10% controlling 90% of the wealth while the 90% shares only 10% of the wealth. We need better policies. Vulture Capitalism is not good capitalism. We have practice good capitalism before we can do it again. Vulture Capitalism is immoral.
I think he does. It also depends on what Mitt Romney's assumptions are going in and how Obama exploits those assumptions. If he can successfully bait and switch Romney in terms of delivery and performance, the win could be dramatic. If he doesn't win, it could very well demoralize turnout. Turnout along with what appears to be an under-sampled demographic in Latino voters will decide this election.
The President will do what he has to do to win this debate. He has his accomplishments on his side. We want to move FORWARD not backward to Bush policies of more for the rich and less for the rest of us.
President Barack Obama is going to win this debate AND this election in a tidal wave of support and joy from the American people.
President Barack Obama stands for ALL Americans. He fights for the middle class and the workers who are the MAKERS. And he will stand up to the Robber Baron Right-Wingers who are the TAKERS !
GO BARACK OBAMA !!
he better give him a leffty like joe gave him arghty
The President has implemented his plan without the cooperation of the GOP saboteur congress and has managed to put this country in the positive side of the graphs. We are on our way up thank to his resourcefulness. We need to send him the best cooperative congress we can. Imagine how much better our economy would be if these 4 yearst we had 2/3 majority in congress and senate.
About Libya, the congress had already denied the funds for embassy security. http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/americas/united-states/121011/rep-jason-chaffetz-cut-funding-embassy-security-video
Obama better win the debate tmrw & I think he will bc he can relate to people - Romney can't.
I am not voting for Obama again but not because of his lousy debate performance. He had his chance and should lose for the same reason Ford, Bush Sr and Carter lost--he did not fulfill his campaign promises and he can't blame it all on Republican obstructionism. Bush did leave a mess and it should have cost him more than it did, but Obama cannot be allowed to get away with using that as a campaign point anymore.
The President is competive and has the facts and his record on his side. Go Obama 2012.
It depends on the criteria for what is a win & what is a lose. Based on telling the truth Romney list the last debate & Obama won but you won't hear that in the media. Based on the 'Republican Smirk' & who's the best actor, Romney won last time & may again. Acting is fake. I'll take honest & real.
Like the "Rockstar" he is, he will be in rhythm and on key! Obama rules this one!
