I may lean left, but not that far left. I believe this country needs at least two healthy political parties in order to stay balanced, and the future of the GOP looks a lot less certain than the future of the Democrats.
I don’t know how many times I have heard that in my lifetime, and the reverse as well. It never does happen.
 
Are young people so stupid or naive that they still cast their lot with Obama after last night? Or, more significantly, after the past four years? Is it because Obama is the young cool diverse guy that makes them feel good in politically correct campus circles? Is it the entitlement lure? What am I missing?

They both disproportionately liked reefer while in college*? Just a guess. 🙂

*and before, obviously

It is not going to be anything like it was in 2008

I think the young people cited in the poll will stay in their dorms on election day. I seriously doubt the old Obama enthusiasm exists among today’s college students or young working people.

Caption: *In this Oct. 18, 1992, photo released by Obama for America campaign shows Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his bride Michelle Robinson on their wedding day in Chicago. She is 5-foot-11, and she is world-famous. Sometimes she inspires awe in her admirers. She has been accused of being the angry type. So when Michelle Obama meets people, she likes to bring things down to earth with a hug. *

But, but, but…I thought that he had to debate on his 20th anniversary, October 3rd!

From Biography.comFollowing law school, Michelle worked as an associate in the Chicago branch of the law firm Sidley Austin in the area of marketing and intellectual property. There, in 1989, she met her future husband, Barack Obama, a summer intern whom she was assigned as an adviser. “I went to Harvard and he went to Harvard, and the firm thought, ‘Oh, we’ll hook these two people up,’” Michelle said. “So, you know, there was a little intrigue, but I must say after about a month, Barack … asked me out, and I thought, ‘No way. This is completely tacky.’” Initially, she refused to date Barack, believing that their work relationship would make the romance improper. Eventually, she relented, and the couple soon fell in love. Their first kiss took place outside of a Chicago shopping center—where a plaque featuring a photo of the couple kissing was installed more than two decades later, in August 2012.

After two years of dating, Barack proposed. “We were at a restaurant having dinner to celebrate the fact that he had finished the bar,” Michelle remembers. “Then the waiter came over with the dessert and a tray. And there was the ring. And I was completely shocked.” The couple married at Trinity United Church of Christ on October 18, 1992.
Yet according to CNN…he had to debate on his anniversary.

Suspicious, huh.

I can’t imagine…Why would anybody lie about his anniversary?
 
I did not watch the debate. Instead, another parishioner and I knelt in front of the tabernacle prayed for Romney one hour before the debate starts, until half way the debate was over. . Before we left the church, we lighted a candle to continue carrying our prayers. I also prayed all the way home for Romney. Basically, I prayed two hours non-stop for Romney tonight.

I am so grateful to find out it was a Romney night!! Thank God! Let’s keep on praying day and night without ceasing!
You are one of the, if not the, smartest person on CAF. You put the rest of us to shame!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

:eek:
 
Wikipedia has October 3, though
Not saying Wikipedia is wrong, but Wikipedia can be easily changed.

Why would so many other sources (google “obama married oct 18 1992”) from earlier say otherwise?

It seems like a really odd thing to lie about (unless all those other sources are wrong)
 
Sour grapes.:bighanky::bighanky:
Some people are ideologues, both on the left, on the right, and especially around CAF. They will always see candidates as black hats or white hats, no matter the reality of any situation.

Romney did dominate this last debate and set the tone, in that sense he did win the debate.

I hope next time Obama eats his wheaties, takes his vitamins, or whatever will “wake him up” more than he was last night.

That is just weird.:eek: (yahoo, never google 😉 )
 
I think he is probably a good father and husband, so I will not attack Obama on his personal family values. My complaints are limited to his political views. I wish the Obamas a happy anniversary with many more to come.
 
“A CNN poll of registered voters who watched the debate reflected Mr Romney’s perceived victory, as 67 per cent of respondents regarded him as the night’s winner compared to just 25 per cent for Mr Obama. Additionally, 58 per cent thought that the Republican came across as a stronger leader than the Democrat, while twice as many said the evening had made them more likely to vote for Mr Romney as said they were swayed towards the President.

Hell still be trying to defend the same failed policies and Romeny will point it out no matter how animated Obama is. I like the breakfast analogy though-it is true Obama is “toast”
