It would be more correct to say that Obama *owned* Romney tonight.

It's now clear that the win was last week, that Obama broke Beldar at that time. I believe that the moment was at the "Please proceed, Governor" mark. That was when we first saw the fear in Romney's eyes, the realization that an uppercut was milliseconds from his head and his hands were stuck in his pockets. I've never seen Beldar look afraid like that.

Bam.

My former Governor showed up tonight still looking afraid, looking all "please don't make it hurt again". This time the Mitt Flopper brought his "I'll do the same stuff that he'll do, just don't smack me down again" guise. While Obama was unable to get a claw deep into balled-up armadillo boy, there was still much violent batting around.

Owned.

Hard to tell how this will end up in November, but it's clear that Romney's been roughed up good and has lost confidence.

I've never seen him scared like this before - Obama really rattled his cage last week.

Hopefully Obama will coax him to stick his neck out then...

Thanks!

When triangulating becomes more important than delivering results, we get shit like this: Romney's family has money in Ohio voting machines.

Romney Family Investment Ties To Voting Machine Company That Could Decide The Election Causing Concern

From fucking Forbes, no less.

Really great idea to stay away from making Republicans mad by keeping hands off their precious magic electronic voting.

Ken Blackwell will be laughing so hard and continuously from now through November 6th that he'll need a Foley cather to keep the place dry.

It may be impolitic to say it, but this is why Liberals lose elections. We're... well I want to use a different word, but *wimps* will have to do.

Jeez! Grow a pair of balls/tubes/whatever!

I'll bet $5 against each of the first 20 nattering nabobs of negativity who don't know Obama very well.

Easy money.

Monies paid directly to Obama for America.

Forgive me if I've missed the obvious. Or if this isn't the right place to ask.

People whine about Simpson-Bowles, but I don't think they really know what's in the plan.

Only 22% of the average recipient's benefits will be cut when their recommendations fully kick in. That's only a $50,000 lifetime reduction per beneficiary in today's dollars, or $100,000 per couple.

Nobody will miss that. Heck, I'll bet that with a little uniquely American ingenuity, seniors will be able to make up for that. Maybe they could sell a kidney. Or start an online service where retirees can rate dumpsters so their peers will know which ones have the tastiest morsels to scavenge - sort of the Yelp for trash pickers.

And it will allow us to keep taxes low on the job creators. And keep a strong military, so we can protect ourselves from those who hate our freedom and want to turn us into a third-world country.

The Rich

That must mean that Romney won't cut a cent from Social Security Benefits, and only wants to raise the wage cap on which Social Security is paid in order to have higher-income folks pay more.

Or maybe ...



Wake up, folks. The Grand Bargain Express is coming, and the 99% are tied to the tracks. Simpson-Bowles voted for a 22% cut in the average Social Security recipient's lifetime benefit.

And the Social Security "crisis"? It's totally cooked up by assuming that the economy won't ever get better again. If we return to anything near the average economy of the last 70 years, Social Security is fully funded.

Has Obama ever acted differently in a similar situation?

For the record, I think Obama did fine. His mission was to not blow it and he succeeded.
