O - What we need to compete - When R was in Mass, Mass ranked 48th out of 50, so his policies failed there. O loves to say "Under my Leadership". wow


We have fallen behind in math and science, O slam's R on education math, class size and budgets.

If math teachers are the answer, why haven't we got them NOW? 4 years and never noticed? Romney citing his success in education in Massachusetts. O interjects "that was before you took office" . . . huh?

Back to military spending, thank you moderator.

O names "space' - didn't he cut the space program to the bone?

R: Our navy smaller than any time since 1913. That's unacceptable to me. Our air force older than any time since 1947. I will not cut our military budget.

O: Not something I've proposed - Congress has proposed - R mentioned fewer ships and O cites we have fewer bayonets. Huh? Is that a point?

R defending Mass education. Republicans and Dims were bi-partisan.

O says that happened before R came into office.

Bob - where are you going to get the $ for increasing the navy.

R - cut the budget except for military by 5% starting with Obamacare.

Cut programs that are not essential. Give Medicare and Medicaid to the States that run these more cost effectively. Gets us to a balanced budget in 8 to 10 years.

O is going into grin. smile, deny mode.

O is vulnerable if Romney holds O personally responsible and avoids making it an abstract political debate.

Am I imagining it or does the moderator keep trying to interrupt R, but not O? Of course, R isn't letting him get away with it much.

O back to the tired argument of R spending 5 trillion including 2 trillion the military isn't asking for.

He says you can't get to a neutral budget program by closing those loopholes and deductions, the math doesn't work. (I have to say I've heard a LOT of politicians with grand ideas on how to cut the budget but they always seem to spend budget plus x times budget)

Obama's constant interruption is annoying and rude. No surprise there. All Obama can do is attack Romney because everything he has done has been a failure, unless you count trying to ruin the country.

That and also because that is their model, their methods, especially when they have an indefensible view, they have to attack or lose the point.

Wow, Obozo is being an arrogant a$$ ! ! "Governor we have these things called air craft carriers" Just one example.

Israel, Red lines

Bob - would an attack on Israel be like an attack on the US, would that not deter Iran?

O - Israel is a true friend, greatest ally, I will stand with Israel if they are attacked. Iran will NOT get a nuclear weapon. A lot stronger stance than previously. Iran currency dropped 80 percent, there oil production has plummeted because of the strong sanctions I have put on them.

O admits that Iran said they want to see Israel wiped off the map. (seems like there was some controversy on that statement on this board before).

It is so annoying that O lies about his policy's, and then Romney always starts out by agreeing with him. Romney should be calling O on his lies.

Moderator let O get into the convo too many times out of order. I wish that R had skin that didn't show his temper rising. Because he is so fair, his skin get red....so does mine. Come on guys and gals Pray for a new president as this thing goes on.

R - We will stand with Israel, we have their back, there is no question that Iran can not become nuclear. Our mission is to dissuade Iran from this development. Crippling sanctions are number one way and they are working. R would tighten those sanctions. Indict ImaNut job on genocide laws.

Military action is last resort.

Ah! O said it!!!- "we will stand by Israel If they are attacked-"(not if they attack first I suppose?)

"Stand with" can mean many things and not necessarily military support. O wouldn't come out and say he would regard an attack on Israel as an attack on the US.
We have done this for many other allies.
