Let's admit it was not really fair to the GOP today......

[KansasVoter]

because Obama is a lot smarter than they are!!! :-)

See, the idiot GOP people today was thinking Bush and how he spoke and cyphered. They were really not ready for someone with an IQ higher than their age.

So it really was not fair!

1. One "take away" from today was that they didn't know better

How do they spin that?! They can't. They were stoopit and we all know it. So stoopit that FoxNews broke away.

2. In honor of the Presidential smackdown, I baked a pie..

my famous chess pie, known from here on as Smackdown Pie.
mmmmm..pie for breakfast.
Thank YOU, Mr.President, for callin' 'em on their nonsense,
with grace & humor, & TRUTH. I LOVE that stuff!

3. His IQ is greater than their talking points....I could see the STFU look he gave a few times.

[calimary]

4. So?

Like I really care a whole lot whether this, or anything else, is ever fair to the bad guys. Fuck 'em. He was still WAY too nice.

5. They're trying to spin....

"We are not the party of 'NO'." Something tells me they are worried about future election bumper stickers.....because we all know in our great democracy, the best bumper sticker wins the election.

6. The problem is that fully half of Americans have an I.Q. below 100.

Many of them aren't smart enough to tell the difference between Obama's level of thinking and that of the Republicans he was debating. The whole exchange was above them.

On the other hand, Obama looked calm, relaxed, forthright and in charge. Hopefully most of the viewers could pick up on that.

7. i thought Obama did great, but i really hate the Republicans the more i see that shit

it's not just that there are some differences. but their tone. they act like he owes them something . and that him being President is some offense to them.

they ignore that the people voted for him in large numbers.

they didn't make any fucking case for why whatever the fuck they want to do would work better. all they did was complain about how he was mean to them or some other stupid shit.

like that dumbfuck who asked what is he supposed to tell people who hear Obama saying the republicans have no idea. i mean, WTF ???????????????

bunch of disgusting bitter resentful asses.

8. They bought into their own "he needs a teleprompter" talking point

too well - they figured that he would flub this up and they could score some points that way, so of course they wanted the cameras rolling.

Never again, I'm sure

Shame, I'd love to see it be a weekly event, like the Prime Minister's sessions

[Froward69]

10. BUT but, what about

Transparency? :sarcasm: ;)

[quaker bill]

9. It was fair

he gave them the choice of whether or not to roll cameras. They were sufficiently confident in their own capacities to "put him on the spot" to do it.
