Obama mocks Romney as ‘getting tough on Big Bird’
“Thank goodness….we didn’t know that Big Bird was driving the federal deficit,” Obama said at a Denver rally today.
_____________
Romney picked on Big Bird. I expected him to tackle Jim Lehrer and cut off his hair.
My fav comment I saw on the debate was from Dan in Texas:
My summary of the first debate:
Biggest loser: Lehrer, who has lost all credibility totally. Absolutely incompetent as a “moderator”.
Overall winner: Obama.
Biggest asshole: Rmoney, who first smashed the debate rules, like the total asshole he is, and kept interrupting like he had paid for this, so he could trash-talk, override, and interrupt the “moderator” and the President whenever he liked.
I agree Dan, especially about how rude Romney was and I can’t stand this look of his…
He’s thinking about the pamphlet, “Blacks I’ve met while yachting.”

My rating: Romney won the debate, Obama had the facts on his side, and Lehrer sucked. Next debate, get @SethMacFarlane to host! – Bill Maher Tweet

The city council here in L.A. voted 11-2 to overturn the ban on medical marijuana dispensaries. It’s great news for the thousands of people who suffer from fake back pain, fake neck pain, and fake sleep disorders – Jimmy Kimmel

Why did the Republican Party hire a voter registration firm with dubious ties? Duh.
…Back in 2004, a Sproul company earned a reported $8 million for voter registration drives before George W. Bush’s re-election.
The company was also accused of misleading potential voters and of destroying applications from Democrats in several states. During a congressional hearing years later, it was pointed out that not only did Bush’s Department of Justice fail to thoroughly investigate those accusations, but that Sproul was a guest at the White House at Christmastime.

I Hope This Debate Is More Colorful Than Last Night’s Debate
While the debate in Denver might affect the future of the country, it in no way matches the next great debate, the so-called “Rumble in the Air Conditioned Auditorium,” set to take place Saturday between “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart and Fox News Channel prime-time host Bill O’Reilly, at least according to Stewart.
