Lying appeared to be less of a problem this time around. Dodging the question, however...
I used to make fun of the debate club in high school I should've known they'd go on to do better things
:c
also obama takes like
so much time
in between
each thing
he says
he'd
probably
be able
to say a lot more
in shorter times
if he didn't do this
[QUOTE=Strider*;38069934]Obama did much better tonight.[/QUOTE]
I'd say so. From a neutral perspective Obama won this. Romney had his moments, but Obama was on top. Not to say he was perfect, but he definitely won. Not the blowout of the first debate, but a win.

This too. Waiting for Politifacts scorecard.

Obama lied on the whole "I said Libya situation was a terrorist attack from the start."

take politifact with a grain of salt. they've really gone down the shitter this year trying to appear even handed

As someone here said 2 weeks ago during the first debate; you can't really fact check a story about some guy in Shitstain, OH.

I said [I]less[/I] of a problem, not nonexistent :v:
What's a debate without some BS? Oh...it'd be a good debate.
Ahahaha
Live interview of potenial voters on Fox News, someone says "Obama's bullshitting the public".

Truuu
This wasn't a debate, it was a pissing contest.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;38069992]pauses can make for more effective speeches and emphasize certain phrases, not speaking at times is almost if not more effective than speaking at others.[/QUOTE]
no I totes know what you mean homeboy
but obama takes it to shatner levels, he pauses a lot
still excellent public speaker that man
Obama seems like the kind of guy who genuinely cares, he just seems so... fuckin' down to earth and cool. Honestly. He's the kind of guy I'd like to just sit in a chair and listen to him talk to me for an hour. We'd laugh, we'd share a joke, maybe even share a drink?
wait am I writing obama fan fic

speaking for effect using pauses causes people to listen a bit more intently than just unleashing a waterfall of words, It's a really basic speech concept
[editline]e[/editline]
oh wow a page appeared
i think the pauses were also partly Obama eliminating the "ums" from his speech. I can't imagine how much training that took between the two debates.
I didn't watch the first debate because I was dumb
was obama really as bad as everyone says?
What happened then, cause I watched his speeches back in 08 and they were fucking tearjerkingly beautiful

Obama wasn't really that bad, but his strategy wasn't the right one for Romney's.
Anyways, PPP poll:

Why can't undecided voters decide

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;38070298]Why can't undecided voters decide[/QUOTE]
It's something I've been asking myself. These are two polar opposite politicians. Unless there is a person that literally agrees with half of the issues of each candidate, there is no reason to stay undecided this late in the race. Either you agree with one, or you agree with the other.
