You are on the right trail, but it seems that Romney’s campaign staff came to a different conclusion. Clearly their decision was twofold regarding the final debate. Don’t get cornered as a “warmonger”, and don’t throw any punches that might look anything less than Presidential. Their analysis would have to be that the only folks left who haven’t made up their minds are unlikely to be excited by a knock-down, drag-out, fighting Mitt, and more likely to side with a moderate, even-toned, non-confrontational Mitt.

Does Mitt risk the base he’s already coalesced by dialing it back and appearing more conciliatory than combative? It’s a good question, but most likely those that have decided in his favor aren’t going to suddenly shift back to wanting more Socialism, so they probably have that right; to pull in the remaining undecideds, soften up and be diplomatic, cooperative, Presidential, while letting Obama fume and snarl and scowl, and hopefully turn off those same people.

Time will tell…

-President Obama

*facepalm*

Too little, far too late.

Yes, but it’s a very good advertisement. The first good one they have come up with.

What a loser.

Your agenda binder is lacking, Mr. Prez.

..your comment is a truly adroit dissection of that doofus’s last-second desperation half-court shot. As Del would say:

A+++

Hours after the third debate passed without an agenda, guess what Team Obama discovered?

..well, it was probably hidden behind the boxes of documents from the Rose law firm in the corner of the Oval Office.

Obama then describes his plan:

Ok, let’s take this one at a time and see who’s smarter than a 5th grader…

Making education and training a national priority;

First, education and training are nice… after all they are the qualities that are considered in candidates once you are hiring for jobs! Someone might need to explain to Obama the order in which you put the cart and the horse. Second, where is education and training listed in the US Constitution? FAIL

building on our manufacturing boom;

We’re in a boom? Really? Wow. Maybe someone should show him the job reports on the number of manufacturing jobs that have left. So what does “building” on a downward trend mean? FAIL

boosting American-made energy;

ROFL! How? By opposing the environmentalists in your base by reversing the EPA mandates that have been strangling the coal power industry? Do you even know the count of coal plants that have closed just in Ohio? Do you realize that with decreased supply, we will have higher costs in electric bills? And you’re serious? FAIL

reducing the deficits responsibly by cutting where we can,

This, from the party that couldn’t even pass a simple budget? This, from the President that couldn’t get even a single member of his party to vote for his budget? This, from a President who presided over two years with complete control by his party? This, from a President who presided over the highest rate of deficit spending ever in our country? FAIL

and asking the wealthy to pay a little more.

Of course you are! Because nothing says success like taking from the successful to subsidize the unsuccessful! Also, the wealthy have already paid taxes on the money they’ve made. If they are wealthy, they don’t have to keep making more money. What this approach does is penalize those who are on their way to being successful… because we can’t have any of that! FAIL

And ending the war in Afghanistan, so we can do some nation-building here at home.

But I thought we already spent hundreds of billions (or is it trillions?) on stimulus only to see a negligible impact on the economy? The President isn’t really doubling down on stupid again, is he? …or is that tripling? …or quadrupling? Ok, I lost count… FAIL

That’s the right path.

Err… no. Doubling down on a proven-wrong approach does not make you Presidential… it makes you something else…
