What I heard in the debate

[wolfstrike]

"We're going to have to tweek Social Security, like Ronald Reagan did" - Obama.

the government is going to raise the age to collect Social Security benefits.
possibly in Obama's next term.



"Romney's health plan is identicle to Obamacare" - Obama

you just watched two politicians argue which plan is better, and the are both parts of the same plan, the Federal part and the State part.


"WHEN Obamacare is fully implemented..." - Obama

Obama basically just showed his middle finger to the whole Unites States and said, no matter what happens this plan will not be repealed.

Well he is right, neither side will repeal it. It started life as republican idea.

Obamacare will never see the light of day. Even if Obama wins it will not happen!

I heard Mitt give cudo's for a couple of ideas, but poorly executed.
Obama on the other hand would NOT concede that Mitt had any good ideas. Everything was an attack.

We are raising our version of SS to 67 from 65. This is becoming the world norm. Hate to break it to you there Wolfie, people are living longer.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, Jim, I want to thank you and I want to thank Governor Romney, because I think this was a terrific debate and I very much appreciate it.

And I want to thank the University of Denver.

You know, four years ago we were going through a major crisis, and yet my faith and confidence in the American future is undiminished. And the reason is because of its people. Because of the woman I met in North Carolina who decided at 55 to go back to school because she wanted to inspire her daughter, and now has a new job from that new training that she’s gotten. Because of the company in Minnesota who was willing to give up salaries and perks for their executives to make sure that they didn’t lay off workers during a recession. The auto workers that you meet in Toledo or Detroit take such pride in building the best cars in the world -- not just because of a paycheck, but because it gives them that sense of pride, that they’re helping to build America.

And so the question now is, how do we build on those strengths? And everything that I’ve tried to do and everything that I’m now proposing for the next four years in terms of improving our education system, or developing American energy, or making sure that we’re closing loopholes for companies that are shipping jobs overseas and focusing on small businesses and companies that are creating jobs here in the United States, or -- or closing our deficit in a responsible, balanced way that allows us to invest in our future -- all those things are designed to make sure that the American people, their genius, their grit, their determination is -- is channeled, and -- and -- and they have an opportunity to succeed.

And everybody’s getting a fair shot and everybody’s getting a fair share. Everybody’s doing a fair share and everybody’s playing by the same rules.


Methinks Obama showed some socialist ankle.

Sounds Marxist to me...

just because some paid-off group of suits calls themselves "conservative" doesn't mean this whole thing was a "republican idea"

Your right that its not conservative, but it is repulican. The modern republican party is not conservative.
