I think Obama could have done a lot better. I was disappointed. He didn't bring his A game.
When you go against God, you get different results. #NeverCompromise
Lady, which "god" are you referring to? Romney's Mormon god?
The moderator was ineffective and Romney bullied his way through that spectacle. If Obama had done that he would have been labeled an "angry, scary, boogey-man Black man".

I watched it. Obama did take an "L" on that one. I cannot tell a fib. But I don't think it hurt him per se. Those who are on Obama's side are still for him although Romney might have gained a few who were on the fence. He seemed to be the more presidential of the two last night. Just my thoughts tho
Awe they need to Leave Obama alone! It was that man's 20th anniversary last night. He had Michelle on the brain. lol
I knew obama wasnt going to do well bc he doesnt have specific plan he should have asked his committee how to respond to someone like mitt. Mitt knows he doesnt know and i thought he had no class bc he was talking to obama like he was his daddy. Anyway. I think Mitt is a liar anyway. Obama said in his speech we need money for bridgez and road i said WHAT? He must think im stupid How are you going to do it. Where is the money coming from. How long is it going to take. Hey only had hes previous platform which was built on what bush didnt do so it broke my heart which i why i wanted him to WAIT he doesn have even politic experience Romney has been a governor Obama is brilliant but those guys play dirty and i think he was ill prepare but i already knew that you know when some one goes for the interview if they know there stuff or are jus bluffing. Obama needs and economic team and is tired. Theres a whole lot to be president. But mitt lies and we dont know if he,ll do whatbhe says which is why i wont vote for him plus he hates big bird he wants to keep the low class just that uneducated and not on their tax dollars which is why i dont really want him as pres and the other thing is Obama has the heart of the leader even with his wrong decisions but its gonna take more thN hope to convince undecided white voters who dont trust black ppl anyway. Hes gotta to get a little tougher to win.
I say obama need to go home eat some chicken and rice with his wife. Cuz mitt is a workaholic let him have the job. At least youll have your family. Who wants to spend their anniversary with mitt. I dont think he wants the job bad enough. Fine let mitt do it so i dont have to read the paper everyday. Lol. Back to the struggle.
Truth, you are exactly right...The moderator should have stayed at home, he really served no purpose, except to allow Romney to completely take charge.
@Truth: If I were referring to Romney's god, the G would have been lowercased.
When we stick with God, He will gives us the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to do all things.
End of discussion. Good day. :)
Ya know... No one is ever going to stand with God 100% of the time. Why? Because we are a) Human and b) We live in a FALLEN world... The devil is busy and not everyone discerns that. Mormon's are not Christians. Sorry. Just like Jehovah's Witnesses aren't because if you don't believe fully what the Bible says about Jesus being the ONLY way, truth, and life, and that the Bible is the true Word of God.... No matter how much you pray and claim Him, it doesn't mean you are truly following Him. Although I am voting for Obama, I put my trust in NO MAN! At the end of the day, regardless of who we vote for, God is in control 100% of the time. His will WILL be done on this Earth. It's that simple. Nobody's perfect-- not Mitt nor Barack. Neither of them will be able to fix everything. And as Christians, we have to make our choice prayerfully and based on our convictions. No matter who's president, this world will always do their best to go against God's will. So fighting and bickering about who's right and who's wrong won't make a difference. We know at the end of it all, God WINS! Can't wait for Jesus to get back!
@SRHM: To be clear, neither has my vote. This decision is by my own conviction. Good day.
Oh, and, no bickering her sweetums...stating my opinion.
One other thing, living in a fallen world and being human is not enough reason to go against the Word. Yes, we all have sinned, but never will I doubt the Word to make my sin or anyone else's sin look good. You should never deliberately stand in front of the world and call God a liar. Saying love is love, no matter with whom, calls my Creator a liar. When people did mischief in the Bible, Christians were to separate themselves (speaking on the idolators), not join in with their sinfulness. Whomever feels comfortable with voting, do just that. That is between you and our Father.
*Sigh* I refuse to give up on you guys. So, instead of unraveling a long, detailed explanation I'll put a summary of the debate in laymen's terms:
Winner in terms of charisma: Romney
Winner in terms of policy and factual statements: Obama
Don't mistake a fiery persentation for strong leadership and victory. It's the content of the arguement that matters. Furthermore, let's not forget that this is exactly what Obama did in '08: he purposely holds back to size up his opponent and then he hits them with the big guns. Wait until the second debate. You'll see.

Re: Romneys Charisma Id rather he'd be honest.
the fact is as FAR as we see he's a business man, Obama as far as we see is not, he is a PROFESSOR and LAWYER so the only business he's run so far is his campaign, he doesnt know how to talk all that lingo and lies....because he's not been around all these lying politicians long enough, he'll learn. But should you sell your soul for a vote you see what Gay marriage got him.
so he should have KNOWN they were going to grill him on the economy, i love Obama but he is not able to express himself in regards to his real PLAN, he may have one but some people like specifics how will you do it when will it get done, if you dont give that to people they do not have your confidence
even crazy HERMAN CAIN had a plan. BUT Herman was a business man. soooo..since both MITT and Herman dont really come straight, its hard to trust them. That doesnt mean they dont know what their talking about tho- Obama cares more about his family and honestly i dont think he wants to do this job anymore. so I can understand that.
But like anybody said GOD is in control so whatever is whatever. I dont want to vote. personally.
