Obama Charges Back


What a difference a few days makes. President Obama flipped the narrative on plutocrat weirdo Willard "I'll Say Anything" Romney in last night's debate and won it convincingly. Willard grew increasingly rattled as the debate progressed, as the President challenged him on every falsehood and spin. Obama talked about all the issues he let slide in the first debate: equal pay for women, the auto loan success, Willard's "47%" smear, and so on.

Weird Willard looked peeved and edgy when the President pushed back on his economic and tax proposals, at one point saying that Willard didn't have a "5 point" plan for the economy, just a one point plan: allow the people at the top to play by a different set of rules than the rest of us. When Willard pointed to his record as Governor in hiring women, it came off as ridiculous when he said he got "binders full of women" looking for positions. The comment went viral.

Perhaps the most telling -- and damaging -- moment for Willard was when he attempted (again) to make political hay from the Benghazi attack. President Obama looked him in the eye and called his move "offensive", and when Willard tried to claim that it took Obama 14 days to call the attack an act of terror, Willard was fact checked on the spot by moderator Candy "From Strangers" Crowley. You could sense weird Willard's sphincter shutting after that spanking.

On to the third and final debate on Monday. If the President performs as well as he did last night, weird Willard might want to check on his Cayman Island investments.
