By Ciaran Ryan, published 26/10/2012

The third and final US Presidential Debate has now been held, and the overall result has been to catapult Mitt Romney into the position of frontrunner.

I say Yabby, have you looked at their deficit, or more importantly the rate of growth of that deficit? It really does look like oz, although with more cronyism, payola & corruption.

I don't know where your reference to god or my daughter came from, you should stay off the turps until a little later perhaps.

This article was a poor analysis of the US race. The author does not even follow the line of his own arguments. If the debates are important (and that is debatable) then Obama clearly one the 2nd and 3rd. Romney was clearly out of his depth on foreign affairs and even his geography was an F grade: Syria was Iran's route to the sea for goodness sake.

It is actually almost impossible to predict what sort of president Romney would make based on his pronouncements on different issues because at various times over the past year he has barely maintained a consistent line on any issue. Not that it really matters because presidents are not the ones who make the real decisions.

The author also quotes one opinion poll that gives Romney a comfortable lead. He fails to mention that there are many polls and they mostly show results that are within the margin of error; i.e. impossible to predict accurately. The result will likely come down to the result in a few key states and that will depend on not who votes, but who counts the votes as Stalin famously observed. There is huge and well documented fraud in US elections, including but not limited to voter machine manipulation. Fraud was what decided both the 2000 and 2004 elections, a reality the author also fails to notice.

The Zionists have poured a lot of money into Romney since Obama has balked at attacking Iran.Romney is another religious nutter of the Morman variety who thinks god has sent him on a special errand.

Romney will herald WW3.

Hasbeen, you would have had to click on and read the URL which
I linked to, to understand about god and your daughter. Nutjobs like
that are part of the Romney team. Romney himself is no fool, that
can't be said for those around him.

Yes the US deficit is a problem, so who created it? Bush/Cheney
fought two wars on the US credit card and when Obama wanted to
cancel tax cuts for the richest Americans, the Republicans blocked
it. As Warren Buffett points out, he pays a lower rate of tax then
his cleaner.

But then Cheney as vice prez made it clear that the US $ was not
their problem but everybody elses problem. Now you seem amazed that
Obama has not turned it all around with a magic wand in a short time.
It doesen't work like that.

Given the disaster that was America when he took office, he's done
pretty well, all things considered.

Spell ageism Yabby.

It's all over for Obama.

Once the Yanks realised Obama was just another leftie bloiwhard without values it was only a matter of time.

When was thatyou ask? Well it was in the 1st year of his term when the Democrats controlled the Senate and he sat on his bum, his mates led by that ineffective shelia Pelosi fought each other and everyone who could have done something did nothing.

Since then the unemployment rate has stayed up, repossisions haven't reduced and house prices have fallen further, (eg.$25,000 to buy a house in Detroit despite Obama saving the auto industry), the cost of living has soared and the government restrictions increased on exploration and development of US sources of energy... and Afghanistan became a mire.

Apart from imajulianutter's little list Abby he's pretty good.

Pretty good that is at giving taxpayer money in chunks of up to half a billion here & there to all his campaign funders, in the alternate energy industries.

The fact the companies all went broke not long after must have been bad luck, couldn't have been a rip off in there now could there. Not with that nice Mr Obama.

Yes I'm sure their deficit is still growing exponentially after 4 years of his tender spending, because Bushy is still writing the cheques.
