It's interesting Obamacare is actually a better plan for residents of the US...however doctors don't like it because then they will be making less.

And let's face it who wants to go to school for 8+ years and then not make the amount of money they deserve.

I know I always blame the referee's when I lose .. how else could I lose .. it is unthinkable .. Crowley did the best she could do with the hand she was dealt .. it did not help that Mitt was so condescending to her .. he is a transparent weather-vane .. :rolleyes:

The main thing that I did not like about the debate was Candy Crowley. She did a horrible job. She acted more like a reporter and not a moderator. It was unfortunate that she did not enforce the debate rules that both campaigns agreed to.

But Perot says Romney would be better for the economy:

"Our country faces a momentous choice," Perot wrote. "The fact is the United States is on an unsustainable course. At stake is nothing less than our position in the world, our standard of living at home and our constitutional freedoms."

Perot, a Texas businessman and billionaire, ran as an independent candidate in 1992. He dropped out of the race in July but re-entered in October, going on to nab 19% of the vote. He ran again in 1996 and won 8% of ballots cast. He backed George W. Bush in 2000, but stayed out of the presidential race in 2004. In the 2008 GOP primary, he endorsed Romney over then-rival Sen. John McCain.

In his endorsement Tuesday, Perot hit Obama for adding to the national debt as well as presiding over cuts to the military.

"At a moment when turbulence is sweeping critical regions of the world, we are increasingly unprepared," Perot wrote. "That is wrong. It's not the way America ought to be. It is for these reasons that I am endorsing Mitt Romney."

The former candidate went on to cite Romney's balancing the state budget while governor of Massachusetts, despite a legislature run by Democrats.

"In short, although he is a rock-solid conservative, he knows how to reach across the aisle and make common cause with those with whom he disagrees," Perot wrote.

this is what I think. I´m not american but I lived in Canada and in USA for a while...

ok. USA is really developed, but they talk about "clean energy" and they use powerplants burnig oil/gas/coal to produce energy instead use the river to produce energy (hydroelectric plant), they can use the wind and solar energy too and they have money and tecnology to do it and working perfect. so what´s the obstacle to do it?

another thing. they complain about the gas price but they don´t try use Etanol, in USA you can produce it from corn (Brazil produces from sugar cane) and the octane is better than the gasoline. if they have some alternative for this they would be able to choose, if the gas is expensive, use etanol or even the natural gas. cmom! if here in Brazil we have flex fuel cars (Hybrid cars) since 1970s and it´s soo cheap and comom that we don´t even care anymore why USA is still use petrol only?

really. USA is extremely advanced. but for my surprise they don´t have cars powered by Etanol! and we have is since 1970! they can use the farms across the country to produce etanol and have a clean and powerful alternative fuel...

3rd. I´m not sure if this wars are getting some real results, ok it wasn´t Obama´s fault but these wars aren´t getting results. Afghanistan and Iraq were 09/11 answers but after Saddam got killed and Bin Laden also killed the problem is still there. What kind of “win” is this? The gas is still expensive, the insecurity is still high, angry muslins still want destroy USA and America used billions in high technology weapons against Soviet junkyard machines. And the terrorist still kill American soldiers? How is that possible?

4th. Would be nice if USA treat better his allies. Really. They send Air Carriers to all seas on this planet, build bases in Colombia, send weapons to Guerrilla groups in Syria, send weapons and money to the new government of Iraq. But when the South America say “no” to NAFTA because we have our MERCOSUL (looks like an European Union of South America) and it´s working well the United States can´t live with something that they don´t control. When Brazil ask them to “reduction of bureaucracy” for tourist visas they say “security reasons” and the White House goes mad when our Federal Police starts say “ok. So USA citizens will need a VISA to come here for anything”.

You know. Sometimes, just sometimes. Would be nice if USA treat his allies as real allies and not as “non dangerous countries”. Cmom! USA require passport for Canadians citizens but in South America an Argentinean can travel around the continent just with his ID. We have our differences with them but since Argentina is our ally we treat them as ally, it means, as a friend…

That´s my point of view…

Obama can put on an act but he can't change his record. Moderators can try to help him out by giving him more speaking time, his wife can try to clap in the middle of the debate. But nobody, not even Jimmy Carter, would want to touch his record with a 10 foot pole. He's violated the Constitution numerous times, he is a demagogue, a fraud and a loser and which is why he will be gone come January. Thankfully.

If Obama had a House majority, his 'record' might've been better, y'think?

Broken promises. Every president has 'em.

The big one is the Bush tax cuts for the rich. That was promised to be put to an end, but the House Republicans managed to stall enough to get them extended and Obama had to settle for extended unemployment benefits and a 1yr reduction in Soc. Security taxes instead. Hey, nevermind that Bush's Republicans installed them in the first place.

The other one is Guantanamo. Nevermind that Romney wants to double that facility, and nevermind that most Americans want terrorists not on their home soil, but Obama not shutting it down is a broken promise indeed. However, he shuts it down and he's soft on terror but if he keeps it open and he's anti-civil rights. No win situation.

But what of the biggest promise kept? Obamacare. That promise was a political minefield, but he pulled through.

And while Guantanamo is still open, the use of torture in that facility and others is gone. He turned around the Bush's pro-torture rulings and now prisoners are (mostly) treated humanely.

Oh, and the war in Iraq? Yeah that came to an end as well, as promised.

imo If Obama wins this election after installing a polarizing moneysucker like Obamacare during an economic crisis, then wow, Romney stinks. (And he does.)

The Dems must be focusing on gaining a House majority this time so Obama can finally start doing some real work. And this is something that the GOP must fear the most.

Bottom line is when (not if because the American media is pushing its population to vote this way) Romney gets elected it will be the beginning of the downward spiral that will ruin the US. Here's hoping the American population can pull there heads out of their arses and think with common sense instead of succumbing to media propaganda and they vote for Obama.
