Debate 2012 Round 2: Electric Boogaloo
Okay, so last week was a blast, this week was more a slug-fest in mud (like that scene in Dark Knight Returns). Who won? Well, it was a bloodbath and a constant back and forth, but the best ending line went to Obama, no question. More on that in a moment.
Both candidates were evasive on direct answers. The first question became a fortune cookie for the whole night- Romney avoiding the question by talking about other things until he ran the clock down; Obama not exactly answering that question, but at least listing things that were partially related. I'm not overly happy with either, but the lesser of two evils, you know?
Best weird ass comment- Romney says that Obama is not "Mr. Gas". I'm not sure, but is that a compliment?
Someone finally brought up the word "Bush". Boom, baby! Too bad it was a questioner, not either candidate.
Romney REALLY needs to get his facts straight on his own policies. Just, you know, in general. His tax plan is mathematically unfeasible. He said he would veto the DREAM act. AND THEN THERE WAS LIBYA.
Romney started with the upper-hand with Libya, he really did. But then he said that right after the Libya attack Obama never called it an act of terror. And he just rolled with it, despite it being wrong, and he refused to listen to fact checks. Of course, Romney was half right- it was nearly 2 weeks before it was outright stated that it was an "organized terror attack". But Romney got focused on the word "terror" itself, and he lost the ball.
And also, apparently the solution to gun violence is no more single moms or gay people. If that makes sense to you, clearly, you should vote for Mitt Romney. (Sorry, I'm being snarky now. My bad.)
All night long, myself and a lot of people I follow on twitter were wondering why Obama never once mentioned Romney's infamous "47%" comments. And then at the very last moment, BOOM, he was saving it for the final blow. Was it the right move? I'm not sure. It was a great finisher, but honestly, I'm wondering if it would have been better used multiple times throughout. I see the logic, but will it be effective? Time will tell.
Next week, the Final Round: All Foreign Policy, All The Time! Who wins? Who dies? We'll all see together, won't we?
