This guy could be the next President of hte USA

When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous. And she was choking and rubbing her eyes. Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a safe landing in Denver. But she’s safe and sound.

If the update within that link is to be believed, then the reporter who broke the story had to clarify that Romney was joking. And that, she thought it was so obvious that he was joking that she didn't have to mention it when she wrote the article.

Cause you know Romney, always a great joker. Remember that joke of how he'd have a better chance of winning the Presidency if he was Latino? Hilarious.

He doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning. His foot has been so far in his mouth he could tickle his vocal chords with his toes...

Sadly, we said the same thing about George Bush. And he still managed to get the Presidency....

But I dunno, George Bush was at least something of a character, like you could hang and have a beer with. Romney looks like he was pieced together by members of another planet, with the attitude to match.

George Bush didn't scare away Republican voters like Romney is doing. You're right, Bush was endearing in a way and that was his saving grace. Romney is just.. well... there's no words. A conglomerate of nonsense pieced together by aliens like you said. Yea, lets go with that.

Yeah, GW Bush was likeable in a way that Romney was not. Who's watching the debate tomorrow?

^ I am.   I've been waiting months for the first debate. It's hard to believe it's right  around the corner.

I'm a huge fan of debate and Presidential debates are always disheartening. So many fallacies... so many red herrings, so many straw mans. Political debate is a whole different beast. Ad hominem is my favorite. Why pick apart someones argument when you can just call them an asshole and just be done with it? lollll

What a debate.   
I'll admit that Obama's performance had me feeling a bit underwhelmed. Romney didn't do much for me either, but there was no chance in hell I was voting for him anyways. I felt as though it was a tie , but a lot of ppl are suggesting that Romney won that debate. Can't really argue with that. Now looking forward to the VP debate as well at the next two presidential debates.

^ I pretty much feel the same way... Well, I am very underwhelmed. I feel there's so much more Obama should've said and didn't.

These two articles pretty much summarize my opinion:

I couldn't believe this was an actual campaign ad until I went to watch it on the official Obama youtube channel.  :lol:

"I'm voting for Mitt Romney because I have a cat called Mitts." I refuse to believe this woman is anything other than a ridiculous troll.



Not sure I would trust these:

Wow, Biden was on fire last night. He definitely energized the base. As for the independents, some say his smiling and interruptions may have turned them off.

His huge incredulous smiles made me laugh during the debate, but honestly I don't see how he could've not smiled or interrupt upon hearing the stupidity coming out of his oponent. I was super glad that he actually tried to unmask the lies. I wish Obama had done that during his debate, and hope he will in the upcoming ones.

Wow, that debate had me feeling energized. Lots of great lines.

I've been watching the debates through my 360 so I can get a free Halo costume for my avatar. :lol:

I felt energized too~ Enjoyed it a lot! Happy to see Obama strong again and setting the facts straight! Loved when the moderator corrected Romney regarding Obama's press conference at the Rose Garden after the terrible Libya incident. They've been trying to get away with that lie ever since (Ryan  used it during the vicepresidential debate too) and it's about time that it was clarified in front of the nation. Tragedy should never be used for political gain!!!

These are hilarious:
