American Presidential Debates Megathread

The horse and bayonet memes are already going around FB.

[Telesha]

He loves American cars.

He owns seven of them.

He does? What does he have?

It was one of Romney's early gaffes in the primary. I'll see if I can't dig it up...


#edit: I think this is it:

"I like the fact that most of the cars I see are Detroit-made automobiles. I drive a Mustang and a Chevy pickup truck. Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs actually. And I used to have a Dodge truck, so I used to have all three [big automakers] covered."

So five, actually...

[North California]

Did Obama just call his own foreign policy wrong and reckless?

[Sapiens Isles]

It is with Mitt.

Mitt didn't comment on Candy's appearance. You did.

Okay I think you're missing my joke.
Mitt does unnecessary things in politics was the point I was trying to get across.

[The Black Forrest]

If it's easy sure. I will take your word for it if takes effort.

He could declare himself the lizard-king and draw swastikas all over Bob Scheiffer's face it wouldn't change how this debate went.

[Agymnum]

What he's saying is Obama needs to play more SC2. Gotta master dat micro.

yes

Was joking.

If you are, lol.

If you're not, learn more about being the president. You make decisions based on the options your subordinates give.

This might be hard to understand, but the president is not a know-it-all - his subordinates are. They provide the facts: the president makes decisions based on them.

Okay I think you're missing my joke.

When I asked 'where's Candy?' you said, "Replaced by someone more attractive."

I don't see how that joke makes the point you now say it does.

[The Black Forrest]

Will you stop with the growing take home pay bullshit.

One of Bains main arguments is getting rid of the expensive American workforce.

I'm pretty sure the US military currently has more bayonets than it did in 1916.

[Farnhamia]

"Heading towards Greece"? Please.

And all this about declining take-home pay, it's not the administration's fault, it's the corporate leaders who have learned that if the scare their employees to death, they can squeeze them until they bleed.

"The torch of freedom ..."

Gah.

[Wikkiwallana]

He does? What does he have?

Caddys.

Did you mean for that to be a double meaning? Because if so, it's beautiful.

[Samuraikoku]

Damn, I wish Obama got to go last. Oh, well.

Romney's part wasn't brilliant, so no loss.

[Condunum]

Why not watch it live?

He's at work. I assume no Youtube.

Actually, I just got back; but yes, that is why I didn't watch it live.

Good to know at least one person pays attention to what I say

It's a metaphor, Jack.

I don't see how that joke makes the point you now say it does.

That was a different joke ironically stating that Bob is more attractive than Candy.

I think I got it. Check the edited post.

Pretty wasteful. Most of them should've been replaced with combat knives by now.

Unless we're still using the same charging, trench-warfare tactics we used in 1916. In which case our generals are just plain stupid.

yes

If his name's Jack, I'm calling horse shit.

There can only be one.

[Agymnum]

yes

wat

He doesn't get the joke, I don't think.

[Cannot think of a name]

I always zone out during closing remarks. I wonder if I missed anything.

Alright, to the pundits to tell me how I feel and what offended me or turned me off. They know me so well...

Same knife, a combat knife can still be built to be equipped as a bayonet.

And they generally are; they are not, however, bayonets.

I know. I got it. It's also the joke I called unnecessary. Now we're all caught up.
