Obama At The Debates
The outlook was quite rosy for the president that day
The polls showed just a tiny lead but the media had its say

Biden’s Ridicule Has Limited Reach
By Carole on Oct 12, 2012
Vice President Joe Biden's behavior at last night's debate proved one thing: Team Obama has given up trying to win over independent voters and is betting it all on their base.

The president didn't let liberals down. The ideology they share with him did.

Well, Mr. Santorum didn't win and Mr. Romney didn't lose and that's about all the news that was made at debate #20.
