If BigBird is taken of of the air, how do you explain it to your kids, or grandchildren?
Do you say, "Well, it's just politics." Like they will understand that, right? (sarcasm)

Yes - it is more in sadness than in anger, but unfortunately Obama must be replaced. We were all excited after his win in '08, but it's clear that he is just in over his head. Unemployment is high, the deficit is out of control, and our military is in retreat around the world. Like Carter, Obama is simply not competent to be president. I believe Mitt Romeny is the man to clean up Obama's mess. He has shown an ability to work with the other side, whereas Obama has never reached out a hand to Republicans.

If u really believe that, I'm speechless. Too much Fox news i guess.

Obama not reaching out to republicans? This garbled talk is nonsense whom is the house of congress? Cant believe the. Mess i hear but this is truly a free speech country and a great america. For any who think mitt wasnt lying and fact is alot want the current prez out of office more than listening to what mr romney is trying to say or not lie about think again. Just go out n vote n live with your choice

Yea, I remember him going over to some meeting/caucus conference they had and answering questions and having dialogue with them early on. Maybe he didn't have enough of that for some folks, but I definitely remember that. Luckily I'm just a Google search from verifying I wasn't hallucinating:

If you think Obama needs to be replaced, that's a perfectly acceptable position to take. But you should be more honest about your reasons.

Ryan did fairly well considering he was over-matched. Ryan just had to show that he could think and speak, something the Republican 2008 VP candidate couldn't do.

Briggs, you're right, Obama has to come out this strong in his next debate because people will base their decision mostly on the President, not the VP.

Obama stopped sleepwalking. He finally pulled out the 47% quote at the end.

If Obama had made the 47% comment, no way Romney would have mentioned it for only 30 seconds total in the first two debates combined. Obama should have used the 47% comment to frame Romney's entire worldview and referred back to the comment every time Romney denied it. Every time Romney mentioned how bad things are, he needed to do A and B above.
