xBullx -> About last night, for what it's worth. (10/23/2012 10:13:51 AM)

Two weeks to go...! Even the most ardent political enthusiast is surely growing weary of the spin and bluster this election cycle has afforded us. I’ve had a few people ask me what I thought about the debate last night, so here goes.
For those that think Obama won last evenings debate, I suggest you put down your glass of Kool-Aid. The current President came off pretentious and condescending at best. The President didn’t display any greater level of knowledge or understanding of past or current foreign events than did Romney. Now considering the President does have occupational necessary data and statistics available to him that the challenger would not, shouldn’t he seem wiser at least to some degree, even though he didn’t? The President also spent the entirety of his time attempting to again slander his opponent as opposed to inform and lay out a coherent strategy for the future.
Only Romney demonstrated that he has plans for dealing with foreign hostiles and the foreign trade relationships that trouble us, primarily he spoke to relations with China and Latin America. While Obama can bring in advisors in to assist with these business and financial matters, I have a growing confidence that Romney, while most likely also willing to solicit advise, understands business matters enough to move forward and make decisions based on his own knowledge and experience, hence he will be much less likely to make the mistakes with American wealth and services that has plagued the Obama administration.
Additionally, I think once all the fact checkers finish sorting through the nonsense that the President was spouting last night such as sequestration, the Russian Geo-Political comments and several items where his credibility on the facts is in question, more and more people will not only change their mind as to who won this debate, but will question this presidents integrity on the whole when he faces moments of desperation. Remember, this president didn’t waste time throwing his own crew and fellow liberal Hillary under the bus recently when things went awry, how long before he kicks the rest of us under the bus. He does after all believe he will have greater flexibility in back room deal making once he is re-elected; assuming we’re foolish enough to give him a continued chance to weaken America even further.
Finally, neither of these men has served this country in a warrior’s capacity and for either to imply that they have a greater understanding than the other candidate of a soldier’s needs and capabilities is offensive to me. Obama’s condescending remarks about horses, bayonets and aircraft carriers, to me demonstrated that he has no real intention to advance national military strength, but rather is only out to confuse and hopefully diminish Romney’s point of building a military capable of serving all the missions that we increasingly pile upon them. The protection of we the people and our constitution is the primary duty of the federal government and this duty is first on the list of priorities for the Commander in Chief. If the fed wasn’t so consumed with filling its own pockets through tax revenues, as well as fostering dependency with certain voter segments and special interests by its social welfare programs, which if necessary are actually state areas of concern, the military budget would be easily affordable while cutting taxes and I do believe this is Romney’s point.
