That's How You Debate!

Guy Smiley (Romney) acted like a 3 year old when he didn't get his chance to speak, very uncomfortable to watch.

 

However, the people in the crowd asking questions were fucking phenomenal with their Long Island accents. I hacked up a lung laughing when Jeremy Epstein asked his question and then the follow up question by the dude with the picnic table tie about gas prices...and thennnn the lady who forgot what she was asking and had to dig into her pocket for the crumpled up question...Obama: "You're doing great." hahahahhahaha too fucking funny. Readers may remember that lady that Johnny Man ran into at that Dunks at Hoolan's wedding (see "Old Travel Journal" entry) ? CAWWFEEE...that was her, had to be.

Why can't any politician just answer a question directly. You don't HAVE to take 2 minutes to wax on "poetically" about nothing.

Picnic Table Tie (paraphrased his garbled question): "What are you specifically going to do about gas prices as they are close to $4.00 a gallon?"

Romney: "Blah blah blah blah energy independence by destroying the environment with the worst natural resource in coal blah blah blah pipeline from canada blah blah blah blah two birds were killed by wind energy blah blah blah America Fuck YEah!"

Obama: "Blah blah blah energy independence blah blah blah Romney is a liar blah blah blah Detroit Cars baby, Detroit blah blah blah energy efficient cars blah blah blah 30 years down the road gas prices will be lower than they are now in present value terms blah blah I approve this message with my loosened tie and rolled up sleeves."

Mama Cass Moderator: "Ummm sooo that doesn't address gas prices at all, how are you going to do it, NOW, not years later?"

Quin from the comforts of his bed yelling at the TV with absolutely no facts/sources to back this up: "Gas prices aren't high due to a lack of oil, they are high due to a lack of refineries in the US. I will lower gas prices by $2 in my first term by 1) Releasing the entire US Oil reserve in Texas 2) Building or reopening 10 oil refinieries in strategic regions across the US (it can be done in 4 years if it is concentrated on see FDR years) 3) Bartering our vast resources in food and expertise in smart grid infrastructure for gasoline, not oil, from other countries. Simultaneously, for the much longer term I will be championing the same mandates Mr. President has been offering with regards to alternative energy sources and phasing out gas combustion transportation engines. We have the technology let's use it, and quickly....oh and God Bless America and our Troops, BRING THEM HOME!"

Wife: "You are a blustery a$$hole."

Imaginary Crowd: "BOOOOO BOOOO"
