Artful Dodger: I didn't watch the debate last night, and it was for the same reason I didn't watch either of the conventions. I already know which one wants to win a contest and which one wants to do the job.
The media was upset that Obama didn't bring up the 47% comment by Romney... well duh, of course he didn't bring that up, because it's a phony argument that can only work in campaign adds and among their own people. It wouldn't work in a face to face debate with no teleprompter, and the opposing candidate standing right there ready to answer the phony charge.
What did the media expect? Romney would have nailed Obama over that, and Obama knows it. But the media now thinks Obama is not following through on the work they did to prop him up and keep him in a favorable light. Again, another "Well duh" to the media genius king makers and another "Well what did you geniuses expect?" It was a face to face debate, and Obama was left dangling because you weren't there to cover and lie for him, and to prop him up... because that is not the purpose of a debate.
Now some are saying, Well, the debate is no big deal, because most people have already made up their minds... LoL I can't argue with that!
