Because most of the country thinks that a black president screwed the pooch for 4 years....

I can't remember the last time a candidate completely schooled another one like that in a televised debate. (and despite what the pundits claim, Biden destroyed Ryan.)

Using THIS logic; I can only assume you have been holding a "Romney for Pres" sign on your street corner. Seeing how he SPANKED the pres like a little.....

What you are referring to is not logic; it is wild assumption. You seem to be assuming that I would vote for whoever won any given debate. This is not the case. My statement was made in reference to seeing the lesser of two donkey-caves call the other on his outright bs; quite refreshing to see from a political party not known for going on the attack. This is something I would like to see more of.

I'm Canadian, and up here both Obama and Romney would never have even the slightest chance of being elected, because we don't have a broken two-party system and generally don't tolerate leaders who are extremely socially conservative. However, between the two of them, the only reason I'm so opposed to Romney/Ryan is my dislike for smug, self-righteous, ultra-conservative hypocritical misogynistic bigots who believe people's human and labour rights should be done away with in a fire sale.

Besides; now that a black president has screwed the pooch for 4 years, she knows the chances of having a woman president in the next 12 years or so is pretty much shot.

Uh, Republican congress that overtly said on camera that their goal was to make sure nothing got done. (not that I don't disagree with your statement: I think a lot has been done, despite the GOP's best efforts, and not all of it has been positive... Like the NDAA)

Increase funding to civics courses.

That is all.

Uh, no. I'd hazard a guess that on the whole, Canadians are more likely to be well-informed than more than most of the US, simply because we do not receive the propaganda that you do, and our education system is not almost defunct.

oh, and "America's hat" only works if you wear hats the size of your car.

Well said, azazel.

*sigh*

D... It was a passing comment about acts of terror in general, it was not a claim that this was a result of a terrorist attack. Nobody believed at that Rose Garden speech that the president was suggesting that particular attack was an act of terror.

So...I eventually went the the WH's website:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/09/20/press-gaggle-press-secretary-jay-carney-en-route-miami-fl-9202012
This was on September 20th... White House Press Secretary Jay Carney actually affirmed Gov. Romney’s position that the White House did not call the Benghazi attack an act of terrorism.

Heck... even CNN's Candy Crowley admits Mitt Romney 'was right in the main' when he called out President Obama's claim that he immediately called the deadly attack on the Libyan consulate a terrorist act. Even, though she first agreed with Obama at the Debate last night and cut short Romney's response... so... there is that...

So... in the end both Hillary (stoke of genious IMO) and Obama now belatedly says they're should be held accountable...

Which is fine and dandy... I just hope a thorough and proper review of the policy/procedures with regards to Embassy/Consulate safety is done and not given just "lip service".

Oh yeah?! Well, its a fact that all canuks grow Kenny Rodgers beards (the women too)! ...
lol.
You must not be familiar with the size of the cowboy hats worn in the south. Of course; our educational system would have us believe that canadians have flapping heads, and therefore wouldnt be able to keep them on anyway. I'm assuming South Park is educational? No?
That's aboot it then buddy.

I'm not your buddy, pal.
