President Obama's TKO in Third and Final Debate
Last night in Boca Raton, Florida, at Lynn University the third and final presidential debate took place.
CBS News correspondent Bob Schieffer, moderated the topic of foreign policy and directed his first of many self-made questions to Governor Romney.
Schieffer piggy-backed his first question from a comment Mitt Romney made previously, stating that President Obama's foreign policy is "unraveling."

Mitt Romney proceeded to inform the audience of violence currently taking shape in Middle Eastern countries, and then agreed with the President that his administration had conducted proper protocol when handling 9-11 terrorist Osama Bin Laden -- in turn weakening the Al-Qaeda base.
In regards to the obliterating of Bin Laden and how the candidates should handle future threats Mr. Romney commented, "But we can’t kill our way out of this mess" and that "we must have a comprehensive strategy to help reject this kind of extremism."
However, Mitt Romney never gave specifics on what this comprehensive strategy of his would entail.

President Obama began answering by tooting his own horn in which he promised and kept his promise -- to keep the American people safe.
He checked off his list the number of military successes achieved by his administration, then he began to break down his comprehensive strategy of how he would get the rest of our troops out of Afghanistan while continuing to protect the American people, and beginning the process of rebuilding our great nation. Towards the end of his answer the President obliged Mitt Romney, for agreeing with his military policies.

Governor Romney shot back with an answer of,
"Well, my strategy is pretty straightforward, which is to go after the
bad guys, to make sure we do our very best to interrupt them, to — to
kill them, to take them out of the picture."
Wait, back track! Mitt Romney stated in his first answer that "We can’t kill our way out of this mess" so why the sudden change in under 5 minutes? Is this one of Mitt Romney's "etch-a-sketch" moments?
The governor continued to not give a specific strategy on how he would control the Middle East violent outbreaks, but he did say something amazing -- so amazing that I wish his budget plan would mirror the exact same thing; better education, economic development, and gender equality is how Mitt Romney plans to help the Middle Eastern countries regain independence!
Funny how Governor Romney's tax plan for America includes gutting education funds, gutting funds for Planned Parenthood, privatization of medicaid/social security, and the question still remains unanswered by Mitt Romney if he believes in the Lily Ledbetter Act.
His plan for the Middle East mimics President Obama's plan for America. Is Mr. Romney betting against America?

President Obama countered the governor's argument by taking him on a history walk and reminding him of his previous statements regarding foreign policy. As exhausting as I'm sure it was Obama, repeated Mitt Romney's views on foreign policy however many there may have been.
Obama argumentatively stated,
"Governor, when it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s. What we need to do with respect to the Middle East is strong, steady leadership, not wrong and reckless leadership that is all over the map."

Mitt Romney's questionable come back was
over-exaggerated and contained a bunch of stuttering and hesitation, with an obvious desperation to find the politically correct word usage.
After Romney's great fumble it would appear that President Obama had already won the debate. He had thoroughly succeeded at making Governor Romney trip all over his own words, even if many of the words had previously been used by the President himself.
The rest of the debate seemed to continue on in this particular fashion; President Obama would debate Mitt Romney, with Romney either not debating back or agreeing with the President's military stances.
What's the point of debating if Romney already agrees with much of the same policies as our current President? We might as well keep the President we already have, right?

Another "ah ha" moment was when Bob Schieffer posed the question of, "What is America's role in the world?"
Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney began his statement by saying,
"Well I — I absolutely believe that America has a — a responsibility, and the privilege of helping defend freedom and promote the principles that — that make the world more peaceful. And those principles include human rights, human dignity, free enterprise, freedom of expression, elections.
Because when there are elections, people tend to vote for peace. They don’t vote for war. So we want to promote those principles around the world. We recognize that there are places of conflict in the world."

So it appears that Mitt Romney would promote peace, freedom, human rights, human dignity, and free elections all over the world -- except for in America?
Furthermore, should Romney become president the American people would have to fight battles already won; the same rights that our ancestors have already shed blood, sweat, and tears over, such as the right to vote.
If Romney is so passionate about giving people the right to vote then why is he currently tied to Hart Intercivic, an investment fund with deep ties to his presidential campaign?
Tony Tamer is a major player for the Romney campaign and he's one of the larger partners of Solamere Capital, an investment fund founded by Tagg Romney and Spencer Zwick, Mitt Romney's chief fundraiser from the 2008 presidential campaign.
The connection makes the Romney family part owner of the voting machine company who not only donates to the Romney campaign, but is helping to count the many votes in Ohio on election day. Talk about making your money work for you!

Mitt Romney was SUPER calm last night while debating and it made me wonder, if his calmness alluded to the fact that he plans on disenfranchising Ohio voters?
The constant change in Romney's demeanor and the outright blatant erroneous rhetoric he speaks, should seriously make the American people question his character.

As msnbc host Rachel Maddow stated regarding Romney's reversal of his policy on the war,
"That political calculation makes so much sense to me, if there were not
68,000 American lives on the line. And that’s what infuriates me,
because this is a real war.
This is not changing your mind on light rail. This is changing your mind and denying your previous positions that are on the record about the fate, the lives and deaths, of 68,000 Americans, and asserting that not only is it okay for you to change your mind, I believe in people changing their mind, but that you can get away with running from the things that you have previously claimed were your heartfelt beliefs, and now denying that you ever believed they were true.
It’s a character issue, and I find it disqualifying."

Enough said! VOTE!
