Folks,
Romney Aide said on Media interview that Romney was going to ask Obama to man-up on Libya.......likewise and sure enough, President Obama did man-up and gave Mitt Romney good lessons about FACTS…….which drove Mitt Romney somersaulting to Reality Check……..It is Because He Asked For It……
It is a Historic evidential fact that, pathetic liars get Real only when they get whipped properly with Facts slammed right on their faces. That is when they get in the knowing, and the Truth is, you cannot get away with lies when the TRUTH is standing.……Hehehehehe, President Obama, like a Head Teacher of our times, was standing with a cane on his hand for discipline…….
Mitt Romney could not believe what he was seeing at the time, for he was "pretty much exposed that REALITY can send someone scampering, when in fact one does not have "A Fact-Based Plan" to DEFINE themselves or what they intend to do in Public Office. Last night again as is his usual self, we saw another Romney Candidate who consistently changed positions and failed to stay steady on strategic course and in focus with Specifics how he Aim to do things differently from President Obama.
The exposure was clearly evident as Romney seemed nervous and very uncomfortable struggling to be on the defensive. President Obama on the other-side with show-cases, proved he meant business from the moment he took office on a serious economic collapse and steadied the situation with Mission accomplished in Three-Quarter-Way both with significant good results showing up to in confirmation to both Domestic and Foreign reflective good results. Which is why, Obama's job approval with housing bustling ratings are headed to the right direction. This is proof that, President Obama proved to America people and the world that, he stayed in command without swaying or flattering; for which case, Obama strived to get America with the rest of the world out of Economic and Security mess.

Complete Second Presidential Town Hall Debate 2012 Barack Obama vs Mitt Romney Oct 16, 2012 I think its safe to say Obama is going to get re-elected. That was utter rape. If the popular vote is tied A tie in the national popular vote means Mr. Obama would likely get re-elected narrowly with 290 electoral votes--just over the 270 needed to win. The president can simply tie the popular vote and still win the Electoral College because he has more state-by-state combinations to get to 270 than Romney does. So he'd most likely squeak out wins in most of the battlegrounds where he leads - enough for that 290 majority - while losing a few others, and breaking even in the popular vote. He'd rely heavily on slight wins in Ohio and smaller states like Colorado and Iowa and Wisconsin to get him there, because Romney would take larger prizes of Florida and Virginia by very small margins, as well as North Carolina. More assertive Obama trades barbs with Romney, targets wealth issues National Affairs Reporter
The Ticket – 8 hrs ago
A much more aggressive President Barack Obama showed up to the second presidential debate Tuesday, which at times devolved into angry crosstalk with Republican rival Mitt Romney. President Obama was under pressure to perform dramatically better at this debate—held at Hofstra University in Long Island, N.Y.—than the one held two weeks ago. Gov. Romney's energetic performance at that first debate quickly boosted him in the polls, with some recent measures showing he and the president in a virtual tie among likely voters. Romney kept up his Denver demeanor, attacking Obama on his jobs record, failure to pass immigration reform, policies in the Middle East, and other issues. But this time, instead of simply repeating portions of his stump speech, Obama was ready with specific retorts and counter-attacks. The president frequently accused Romney of twisting facts, occasionally interrupting him as he spoke. At one point, the debate almost became a shouting match over whether President Obama had cut back oil extraction from public lands. Obama repeatedly said Romney was lying about his claim that oil production was down, pointedly saying, "Not true, Governor Romney." (Politifact ranked a similar claim by a conservative super PAC "half true.") Feeling the heat, moderator Candy Crowley took the candidates to another topic.
The 90-minute town hall-style debate got personal at times. Romney took a detour on an answer on immigration reform to address Obama campaign claims that his personal fortune is invested in China and shielded from taxes. "Mr. President, have you looked at your pension?" he asked, implying the president is also unaware of the nature of his investments. "You know, I don't look at my pension," Obama retorted, adding, "It's not as big as yours so it doesn't take as long." Obama returned more than once to the topic of Romney's wealth, saying Romney sees nothing unfair about millionaires paying the same tax rate as a nurse or other middle-class worker. Later in the debate, Romney criticized Obama for attending political events so soon after the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, was killed, and also said Obama's campaign unfairly painted him as a villain. Obama closed the debate by mentioning Romney's leaked comments that half the country is dependent on government. Both candidates appeared comfortable with the more intimate town hall-style, during which an audience of 80 undecided voters, handpicked by polling organization Gallup, watched and asked questions. Audience members picked by Crowley asked the candidates about immigration reform, jobs, gun control, the gender pay gap, and other issues. In answer to a question about the economy from college student Jeremy Epstein, Romney said if elected he could guarantee Epstein would find employment when he graduates in 2014 because of his economic policies. "I'm going to make sure you get a job," Romney said. Obama answered a question about the pay gap with a personal story about his mother's struggle to make ends meet while raising two children on her own. By the end of the debate, Romney spoke for nearly 41 minutes, Obama a little over 44 minutes. The final debate of the election is Monday in Boca Raton, Florida, and will focus on foreign policy. Biden: Romney vague, 'sketchy' at debateAssociated Press – 16 mins agoWASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden is dismissing as "rhetoric but not much substance" Mitt Romney's answers to questions at Tuesday night's presidential debate. "Everything is sketchy," Biden said. President Barack Obama "had a great debate," Biden said, "and I expect you'll see another great one next Monday" when the two presidential candidates meet for a third and final debate. Biden also addressed questions over the Obama administration's response to requests for increased security at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed there last month. At last week's vice presidential debate, Biden had asserted "we weren't told" about the requests. But a State Department official had acknowledged during congressional testimony receiving the request. Biden said he meant that he and Obama were not personally aware of those requests. "It never got to us," Biden said. The vice president also accused Romney of trying to "politicize a tragedy" by continuing to make the Benghazi attack an issue in the campaign. Biden spoke in a round of television interviews aired Wednesday morning. Wednesday in politics: Obama, Romney campaign after aggressive debate, and moreBy Phil Pruitt | The Ticket – 1 hr 3 mins agoPresident Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney will be back on the campaign trail Wednesday following a debate that at times felt like a verbal fistfight. Obama produced a much more assertive performance at the Hofstra University clash, and Romney maintained the energetic demeanor that chalked up a win for him in the first showdown. The buzz Wednesday will focus on whether Obama's attack style Tuesday night will counter what was widely panned as a lackluster presentation in the first debate. It also will focus on whether Romney came away from the second debate maintaining the momentum he picked up in the first one. And, of course, there will be a lot of talk about who told the truth, and about how CNN's Candy Crowley did as moderator. Obama will campaign Wednesday in Iowa and Ohio, while Romney will head to Virginia. And Vice President Biden will stump in Colorado and Nevada, and Romney running mate Paul Ryan will be joined by Condoleezza Rice at a rally in Ohio. Biden also gives his reaction to the second presidential debate in interviews on ABC's "Good Morning America," CBS' "This Morning," and NBC's "Today." Also worth noting Wednesday: Bill Clinton attends a New York fundraiser for Obama; Tagg Romney campaigns in North Carolina and Craig Romney in Colorado for their father; and Speaker of the House John Boehner heads to Iowa to campaign for Romney. And then there is this: First lady Michelle Obama tapes an interview Wednesday for broadcast on Friday's "LIVE with Kelly and Michael." Aide: Mitt Romney Will Ask Obama to 'Man Up' on LibyaBy Jonathan Miller | National Journal – 22 hrs agoA foreign policy adviser to Mitt Romney, in a preview of the second presidential debate, said on Tuesday that Romney will ask President Obama to "man up" on his response to the terrorist attack in Libya that left four Americans dead. Richard Williamson, the former special envoy to Sudan under President George W. Bush, was asked on Fox News how Romney would bring up the issue of September's attack on the American mission in Benghazi in the debate. "I think Governor Romney, quite properly, will be asking questions, probing, and trying to ask the president to man up, accept his responsibility and explain to the American people the failure that resulted in four American deaths," Williamson said. He later added of Obama: "He can run but he's not going to be able to hide. He's going to have to man up and tell the American people what he knew, when he knew it and what he's doing." On Monday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she took "responsibility" for the terrorist attack that led to the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Williamson said that there needs to be "transparency" from the administration about the attack. "The administration has to come clean," he said. "It is a presidential-level decision protecting our diplomats overseas. It's the president's obligation to make sure that diplomats in difficult situations have adequate security so they can do their job, and clearly they failed here." Williamson also alleged that Obama must have seen information in daily briefings indicating the previous attacks on the compound and other threats in Libya. "The information was there. The White House has certain responsibilities," he said. Fact Checking:
Mitt Romney wrongly claimed that it took 14 days for President Barack Obama to brand the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya a terrorist act. Obama yet again claimed that ending the Afghanistan and Iraq wars makes money available to "rebuild America," even though it doesn't.
A look at some of their claims:
OBAMA: The day after last month's attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, "I stood in the Rose Garden and I told the American people and the world that we are going to find out exactly what happened. That this was an act of terror and I also said that we're going to hunt down those who committed this crime."
ROMNEY: "I want to make sure we get that for the record, because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror."
OBAMA: "Get the transcript."
THE FACTS: Obama is correct in saying that he referred to Benghazi as an act of terrorism on Sept. 12, the day after the attack. From the Rose Garden, he said: "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. ... We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act."
OBAMA: "Let's take the money that we've been spending on war over the last decade to rebuild America, roads, bridges, schools. We do those things, not only is your future going to be bright, but America's future is going to be bright as well."
ROMNEY: "As a matter of fact, oil production is down 14 percent this year on federal land, and gas production was down 9 percent. Why? Because the president cut in half the number of licenses and permits for drilling on federal lands and in federal waters."
OBAMA: "Very little of what Governor Romney just said is true. We've opened up public lands. We're actually drilling more on public lands than in the previous administration and my — the previous president was an oilman."
OBAMA: "For young people who've come here, brought here often times by their parents, have gone to school here, pledged allegiance to the flag, think of this as their country and understand themselves as Americans in every way except having papers, we should make sure we give them a pathway to citizenship. And that's what I've done administratively."
ROMNEY: "I know he keeps saying, 'You want to take Detroit bankrupt.' Well, the president took Detroit bankrupt. You took General Motors bankrupt. You took Chrysler bankrupt. So when you say that I wanted to take the auto industry bankrupt, you actually did. And I think it's important to know that that was a process that was necessary to get those companies back on their feet, so they could start hiring more people. That was precisely what I recommended and ultimately what happened."
THE FACTS: What Romney recommended did not happen, and his proposed path probably would have forced General Motors and Chrysler out of business. He opposed using government money to bail out the automakers, instead favoring privately financed bankruptcy restructuring. But the automakers were bleeding cash and were poor credit risks. The banking system was in crisis. So private loans weren't available. Without government aid, both companies probably would have gone under and their assets sold in pieces.
OBAMA: "And what I want to do is build on the 5 million jobs that we've created over the last 30 months in the private sector alone."
ROMNEY: "I'm going to bring rates down across the board for everybody, but I'm going to limit deductions and exemptions and credits, particularly for people at the high end, because I am not going to have people at the high end pay less than they're paying now."
THE FACTS: Romney is proposing to cut all income tax rates by 20 percent, eliminate the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax, maintain and expand tax breaks for investment income, and do it all without adding to the deficit or shifting the tax burden from the wealthy to the middle class. He says he would pay for the tax cuts by reducing or eliminating tax deductions, exemptions and credits, but he can't achieve all of his goals it under the budget rules presidents must follow.
The Tax Policy Center, a Washington research group, says in a study that the tax cuts proposed by Romney would reduce federal tax revenues by about $5 trillion over 10 years. The study concludes that there aren't enough tax breaks for the wealthy to make up the lost revenue, so the proposal would either add to the deficit or shift more of the tax burden on to the middle class.
Romney's campaign cites studies by conservative academics and think tanks that say Romney's plan will spur economic growth, generating enough additional money to pay for the tax cuts without adding to the deficit or shifting the tax burden to the middle class. But Congress doesn't recognize those kinds of economic projections when it estimates the budget impact of tax proposals.
However, Obama is not responsible for all of the deficits that have occurred on his watch. Most of the federal budget — like Medicare, food stamps, Medicaid and Social Security — runs on autopilot, and no one in a leadership position in Washington has proposed deep cuts in those programs. And politicians in both parties voted two years ago the renew Bush-era tax cuts that have contributed to the deficit. Even under the strict spending cuts proposed by Romney, the debt would continue to rise, just not as fast.
