Thanks for pointing out why the President lost the 1st debate and won the 2nd and 3rd...
Horses and Bayonets was priceless.
It was certainly a long time coming.Romney has been making his silly assed (counting) naval ships comparison for a good long time.
I was beginning to wonder if the President,or anyone else for that matter,was going to call him on it.
He sure got called on it last night,the man is so not ready ti be President,
It seems drudge, Fox and " leaders" of the RW media have very little to say this morning.
Fact checking Obamas assertion regarding the education scholarship started by Romney in 2004 and not before he took up governorship seems to be the only "thing" they have pounced on. I guess the talking heads will be up with more this morning.
from http://factcheck.org/2012/10/false-claims-in-final-debate/
Summary
In the third and final Obama-Romney debate, the candidates again contradicted each other, while each offered incorrect or twisted factual claims.
President Obama erred when he accused Mitt Romney of saying during the 2008 campaign that “we should ask Pakistan for permission” before going into that country to kill or capture terrorists. What Romney said was that he’d “keep our options quiet.”
Obama wrongly accused Romney of not telling the truth when Romney said “you and I agreed” some U.S. troops should be left in Iraq. In fact, the president tried and failed to negotiate an agreement to keep 3,000 to 4,000 support troops there; Romney said he would have left 10,000 to 30,000.
Obama said unemployment among military veterans is lower than for the general population. That’s true for veterans generally but not for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Romney was wrong when he repeated a claim that our “Navy is smaller now than any time since 1917.” Actually, there are slightly more ships active now than at the low point under President George W. Bush.
Obama claimed the record would back him up when he accused Romney of opposing any federal “help” or “assistance” for troubled automakers. In fact, the record shows Romney supported federal loan guarantees.
Romney repeated his claim that the president undertook “an apology tour … criticizing America” after Obama became president. Obama called that “probably the biggest whopper that’s been told” during the entire campaign. And in fact, our own analysis, and that of other fact-checkers, found no “apology” in the president’s speeches.
Romney claimed credit for top scores by Massachusetts grade-schoolers while he was governor. But they tested at the top, or near it, before Romney took office.
Obama wrongly claimed Romney called Russia the “biggest geopolitical threat facing America.” Actually, Romney called Russia a “foe” and not a “threat.” He said “the greatest threat that the world faces is a nuclear Iran.”
Romney said the federal debt to “other people” is $16 trillion, which isn’t correct. The debt owed to the public is $11 trillion, and the figure he gave includes money the government owes to itself.
Romney claimed terrorism wasn’t mentioned in any presidential debate in 2000. Actually, Al Gore made one brief mention.
One issue on which the two men no longer seem to disagree is pulling out all U.S. combat troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. Romney had previously criticized the president for setting a date, and later modified his position to say he agreed with the president’s timeline but would be guided by military commanders and events “on the ground.” This time, he dropped all qualifiers and said flatly, “[W]hen I’m president, we’ll make sure we bring our troops out by the end of 2014.”
Personally in my not so humble opinion.... He kicked Romneys ASS hard, made him look inferior in every segment.
The only reason he agreed with the pres so many times, is that he clearly doesnt have his own plan. Beyond one that would ensure more deaths of american *and its allies* military personnel.
That being said... it wont change anyones mind. As is clear from the discombobulation so far

I have taken to listening to the "trinity" of right wingnut radio while driving around NC,Beck,Rush and Hannity ammuse me to no end.....unfortunately I am laid up today with an ice pack on my groin(Hernia surgery yesterday) so no comedy today....it would be interesting to hear the spin that takes place.
Maybe I will get the radio cranked up in the room....lol.
p.s. I obviously need a tutorial in quote trimming,it's not something I do often...unlike some others around here I do not believe in taking another's words twisting and cherry picking to make some point or other.When I quote someone I like to do so in their entirety.In this instance it seemed appropriate to trim it,alas I failed.;-)
