the onion had a great headline about the apology charges.

This past weekend, I watched one of the Reagan/Mondale debates. It was interesting to listen to them discuss the foreign policies of that time. I wonder if this debate will be more interesting 30 years from now than it is now.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I'm loving the Apology Tour.

You ought to listen to the old Reagan/poppy bush ones from the 70's. you'll wonder where those republicans disappeared to. Other than a coffin and a mobility scooter.

Oh no he din't!

Obama totally called Mittens on his candidate tour - and how crappy Romney handled all of that. Way to call him on it, Barry! I think I even saw Mitt blush...

Obama seems suspiciously knowledgeable about foreign affairs for someone born here #debates

Man, I remember the '80 primary season.  Mom was a monumental Poppy fan--right up until he sold his soul to be the Gipper's running mate.  She never recovered.   :lol:

Is it too soon to call this a total Obama win? I can't see Romney pulling anything out of his ass now that will fix what he's done up to now.

Interestingly, this debate has really driven home just how important foreign policies will be in the next four years, which had sort of gotten lost due to the economy.

This is a waste of time. They both are saying pretty much the same things.
"Stability is destabilizing." --Hyman Minsky

"Complacency can be a self-denying prophecy."
"We have nothing to fear but lack of fear itself." --Larry Summers

these guys love israel way more than any israeli does

Seriously.
The first word in "American Jew" is American.
It's great that us policy is pro-Israel but *American* interests should be primary.  I wish one of these guys would have the balls to say it but Obama doesn't and Romney can't talk because bibi's are in his mouth.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

And now Romney's laying out Obama's plan for an Afghanistan pull-out as though it's his own.  :rolleyes:
