Are you ready for another debate?

Here's a reminder of what happened at the last debate:

Dan in Philly said...: The only question an undecided could possibly have at this time is something like "Is this an election cycle?" Or "Who will watch my cats when I go to the polls?"; 10/22/12, 7:25 AM
Matt Sablan said...: Good God, October is flying by.; 10/22/12, 7:29 AM
Nathan Alexander said...: That was crap.

Not funny, and slanted as all get out.; 10/22/12, 7:37 AM
TWM said...: Undecided, in this election anyway, are those previous Obama voters who want to vote for Romney but don't want anyone to know. They're afraid to even admit to themselves that they fucked-up royally, much less anyone else, even a pollster. But in the booth I'm feeling pretty good they will pull the lever for Romney.

The others - the ones who still want to believe in the 2008 fantasy of Obama and therefore will vote for him again despite his obvious failures - are just too stupid to breath and Darwin's law will one day take care of them.

The sketch was not funny by the way.; 10/22/12, 7:42 AM
Matt Sablan said...: I think undecided voters are pretty much a myth.; 10/22/12, 7:46 AM
Bob Ellison said...: That's an outstanding Obama impersonation! He doesn't look much like him, but he sounds just like him.

Poor joke material, though.; 10/22/12, 7:49 AM
Joe said...: Was that supposed to be funny?; 10/22/12, 7:57 AM
wyo sis said...: Pretty hard to parody that debate.; 10/22/12, 8:00 AM
Unknown said...: I wish every one remember what Obama did on his 1st Day on the job when he
Assembled the dream team (World Experts) to tackle the country's Economics, social, financial disaster you inherited, Look what we done
· The USA stock market is the highest it's ever been
· The $ is the highest it's ever been
· Our Economy across the board is moving steady upward curve while the rest of the world in shambles with riots in the streets
· Our Banks are reformed and on a solid ground
· Our automobile industry had been restored from disaster to leading the world
· You restored the good image of respectability of the USA in the world
· By 2014 the rest of our troops will be back home to their families and jobs

These are HUGE Accomplishments; 10/22/12, 8:35 AM

1 The USA stock market is the highest it's ever been

1. FALSE. It has gone up under Obama but is not at record highs for the S&P or NASDAQ.

2. FALSE. The US dollar has lost against many currencies, and is at parity with the Euro compared to when Obama took office.

3. FALSE. Our economic growth has been dropping for the last 2 years and we are as likely as not in a recession.

4. FALSE. Dodd-Frank has legalized Too Big to Fail for our banking system, which is never good.

5. FALSE. GM is losing market share in 2012 (down to 18% of US market) and the stock has lost 35% of its value since jan 2011 years.

6. FALSE. The rest of the world thinks less of the US. They like that we are now perceived as weak under Obama, but that is not in our best interest.

7. FALSE. We have and always will have troops abroad. It is also unclear at this point how many troops will be in Afghanistan after 2014 even under a second Obama term.; 10/22/12, 9:04 AM
Hagar said...: I think Candy Crowley got snookered in the last debate. I think someone "prepped" her for the question on Benghazi being "helpful," and Onama knew about it. Then Crowley just walked straight into it and realized too late she was being had, which why all the stammering.

Wonder if they have found a way to set up Bob Schieffer for tonight?; 10/22/12, 9:04 AM
edutcher said...: Schieffer hasn't got his uterus to hide behind, so it's gonna be interesting.; 10/22/12, 9:37 AM
Leland said...: I think Fuad Ali was being sarcastic. For certain, the stock market is not the highest its ever been. For that, you'd have to go back to before Pelosi's House passed a budget.

I wish everyone will remember during the debate how Obama's State Department worked very hard to keep a would-be dictator in power in Honduras.; 10/22/12, 10:20 AM
robinintn said...: NPR told me in no uncertain terms that, after the last debate, the candidates are "all tied up", so this one is critical. Seriously. As if there's absolute certitude on the winner of the last debate.; 10/22/12, 10:32 AM
Anonymous said...: The show isn't funny. It's jokes aren't insightful. And it is a cheerleader for communism.

Let's hope that if Al-Queda strikes, it hits an SNL taping and wipes those freedom-hating fascists out of existence.

Not encouraging it to happen. Just saying that if it happened, it would be a net win for the country.; 10/22/12, 11:31 AM
Smoberproject said...: I stopped watching SNL about 10 years ago... I see I'm not missing out on anything.; 10/22/12, 11:59 AM
Almost Ali said...: Well, they got the jive turkey part right.

And the riff on A&M.; 10/22/12, 12:13 PM
bagoh20 said...: I thought it was pretty funny, and even if the intent was to be biased, it worked both ways. The Romney character still looked superior, unless you are a leftist beta male. The Obama impersonation was really good. At the beginning, I was listening and not watching, and I could have sworn it was the President talking.; 10/22/12, 1:31 PM
wyo sis said...: "Schieffer hasn't got his uterus to hide behind, so it's gonna be interesting."

What happened to his uterus?
Maybe in lieu some of those dancing vaginas can come and surround him. Who would dare cross that line?; 10/22/12, 4:29 PM

sonicfrog said...: Wow that was unfunny. This is MUCH better!; 10/22/12, 5:06 PM
jrberg3 said...: Snl has gone the way of letterman. Can be funny but the liberalism gets in the way. The result is weak humor.; 10/22/12, 7:39 PM
