Morley does a better job of controlling the clock than the first two did.

I do love have Obama is hammering home that Romney doesn't have any new ideas, and in fact, are all from various decades past.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Romney's back to giving folks tanks who don't want them.  :rolleyes:

It's Bob Schieffer, not Morley Schafer, dear.

Back to the kitchen with you.

I honestly don't know how different Romney would actually be from Obama on foreign policy, and I think that's hamstringing him here. I don't think it's a big priority for Romney and his generally more hawkish attitude doesn't seem to be meaningful.

edit: I guess more military spending?

With Obama talking about how Gaddafi had "more American blood on his hands than anyone other than Osama", Romney should have hit him on cozying up to Libya before the Arab Spring kicked off.

I don't think that would have helped Romney much, as that is a continuation of the Bush policy, one that Bush bragged about quite a bit.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Doesn't negate my point.

Dunno about you guys, but I think we've had one debate too many this year.

The CNN tracking thing makes no sense and is generally a bad idea IMO

Wow! Slammed Cheney and Bush as "wrong and reckless"!

And now we're off foreign policy. Who guessed it would take 30 minutes?

They're both sounding rather tired, repeating the same elements of their domestic platforms as solutions to make America stronger in foreign affairs.

Was this 'A Debate Too Far' ?
