Obama was GOOD, but he was still civil. Followed the rules and I JUST KEPT SAYING -- CHINA / SENSATA HELLO?! How can Robme be tough on China when he won't step up to his OWN former company and tell them, "Hey, I'm running for office, can't you keep this plant open?"

HE has a DISTINCT "IN" with this one outsourcing company - owns stock in the company AND he can't use his voice to tell THEM not to outsource.

HOW does he think he's going to get China to listen to a damn word he says? DELUSIONAL.

Obama is no gangster, he does not beat people with tire irons.

He simply calls out their lying fucking asses and shows them for what they are.

If you want to stay here, please remember that the President of the United States of America is not a thug.

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama put his re-election bid back on firm footing on Tuesday night with a strong debate performance that is likely to thrill his Democratic supporters and earn him a second look from the few voters who remain undecided.

With the November 6 election three weeks away, Obama's second of three debates with Republican rival Mitt Romney represented one of the final chances to make an impression with voters.

Obama made the most of it with a focused, aggressive effort. It was a sharp departure from his listless first debate two weeks ago, when Romney's dominant performance ignited a resurgence by the Republican that left the race virtually even heading into Tuesday's matchup.

"Game on - he's back," Carleton College political science professor Steven Schier said of the president.
