I think the excitement stems more from Obama looking terrible, than the future (at least in the near term) of the country (which probably speaks volumes as us as a society). I'll admit that I'm guilty of this too. But after watching the President be treated as a rock star and seem to never be taken to task for anything, I enjoyed watching him get mopped up last night. He has always been a good speaker (maybe it really is the teleprompter), but last night he just didn't seem sharp or foucused and it hurt him. I felt that four years ago his entire campaign was I'm not Bush and everytime he played that card, his ratings seemed to spike. Last night Romney through some ideas and numbers out there and the President didn't seem to have any answers or comebacks. Also Rommney seemed to have the responses for anything the President through at him.
In the long run, these guys are just politicians and will probably say anything to get elected. I think we all realize this. We just have to hope the lesser of two evils gets elected and somehow gets some things done to get this country going again. Despite what Riot says or posts, things seem like they haven't gotten better during the last 4 years.
As far as if Romney actually said anything, here's what I got Hoss (but I'll admit that I'm far from a political know it all, besides I was also flipping back and forth from the Yankees & O's games). I liked his thoughts about domestic energy. We rely too much on foreign oil, period. I have a good job and what it costs to have two vehicles is obscene. He said he wouldn't raise taxes on the middle class and he seemed to dispel Obama's myth that he's cutting the deficit. He will also repeal Obamacare. At times he sounded like a buisnessman last night and maybe that's what the country needs to get going again. Obviously it could all be lip service, but the president didn't seem like he had any answers for any of it. I think someone else said it, Obama had his 4 years, lets see what the next guy can do.
