President Obama was the winner last night.

[monmouth]

I purposely did not watch the debate, I did log onto DU (thank you for the threads) and of course have been listening this morning to various opinions. I notice Morning Joe and crew, except for Halpern, were not at all enthusiastic about Perry's performance, they were lukewarm about Romney and the rest were sort of a blur.

As much as the President drives me up a wall, after watching the pubs and listening to their inane opinions on science and social security, none of them should be allowed even near the White House. I look forward to the President's speech tonight. The nation will at least have an opportunity to digest and compare him to what they heard last night. A stark contrast and I would imagine the President's numbers will surge...

1. yes

[SKKY]

2. I am as well. I sincerely hope he goes big. I hope he goes freakin'...

...Ginormous! I hope he proposes 500 billion in stimulus. I hope there's an infrastructure bank immediately. I hope he gives a 10K credit to any small business that hires. FREAKIN' HUGE!!!!! And dare the GOP to block it. They'll tie their own rope if they do.

4. Not one of them said anything of sunstance in the first 60 minutes.

I got bored and stopped watching.

5. Not really....

Last night's debate was more like "Who is the biggest dumbass on stage". And, I must say, the republicans had a stellar line-up!
They all did remarkably well in looking foolish, but if I had to pick the head fool, I'd have to give that honor to Gingrich or Bachman. You really can't fix stupid, and these two have made a career of over-achieved stupidity. Now, I have to give Perry his props, he pretty damned stupid, but Newt and igmo Michelle have him out-classed in raw stupidity.

But, I would agree the president benefitted from the whole shebang.
