Boy obama seems to be avoiding a lot of the questions.
I wonder if they coordinated their tie color..."ok obama ill wear red and you wear blue, god forbid we match"
"50% of college graduates can't find work." Wow is it really that high?
Both candidates frequently comment on how they are about to say something that they both agree on. There must be a reason behind this.
I noticed obama looking directly at the camera more often then romney.
Closing statements were powerful. Obama really reflected on the people he meet all over the US, their jobs, their passion.
Romney seemed to have a much stronger presesnce on stage. Maybe it's his voice. His "paths" metaphor in his closing statement was interesting.
I wonder what they said to each other that made them laugh after they shook hands?
The main themes I noticed each president seem more focused on. Taxes is number one for each of them in my book.
Obama- taxes, insurance, jobs
Romney-taxes, government, medicare.
I think the reason for mentioning that they both agree on an issue is because they're trying to let the audience know that even though the other candidate is technically their rival, they still acknowledge their similar stance on an issue. This acknowledgement makes Obama and Romney seem more respectful, mature, level-headed, and reasonable toward their political "enemy." It's like saying, "Hey, even though this guy is running against me, he still has some good ideas and I've thoughtfully considered his position on these issues." That might be the reason why both of them shook hands and laughed with each other on stage. If they treated each other badly, then the audience would probably lose a little bit of respect for them.
ReplyDeleteI think the joke while shaking hands went something like this:
ReplyDeleteObama - "I'm going to wipe the floor with you tonight."
Romney - "Fat fucking chance, Osama."
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Well, think about it, neither of them is very funny. I'll go with Kenny's explanation.
