This is why a lot of Obama’s debate seemed incoherent and mixed-up; he was just grabbing at anything that came to mind so that there was no dead time while it was his turn.

Where’s an edit button when you need one? Ugh.

Soros pulls the string, and one of Obama’s 6 canned phrases comes out of his mouth.

Debbie Stabenow has a bill … expected revenue is all of $14 million a year.

Which is just about what she’s spending on her re-election campaign. Umm, that’s deductable too, right ?

They would much rather have the problem than the solution. More votes, you see. Why do you think they claimed to want to “drain the swamp” and did nothing to actually do so?

From what I understand, that industry is taking advantage of particular tax code provisions that are generally available to all businesses. It’s absurd that Obama would single out some of America’s most profitable–and highest tax-paying–companies for punitive measures.

In addition, Romney had a nice one-two combination taking down Obama on this point. He noted that the “tax breaks” in large measure are used by smaller operators–as opposed to the behemoths of the industry. And to see Romney compare the $2 billion are year in tax breaks to oil and gas companies to the $90 billion going to the green-energy industry for loser investments, half of which are going to Obama’s contributors was priceless. I loved Mitt’s line about a friend of his telling Mitt that Obama doesn’t pick winners and losers, he picks only losers. Seriously, it was better than watching Ralphie beat the snot out of that bully Scott Farkus in A Christmas Story.
