But this shouldn't be a problem once he's President, because weird personality traits always disappear after taking the oath. Right? 

I would expect so. At least they would go down. :p

I think the idea is to pick the guy who suffers from the fewest, ehm, lapses of common sense.

I'm sorry, everyone, when I said that Mr. Romney

[c]alls half the country moochers, [and] gets $77,000 tax break for [his] pet horse

To use the words of the Republican party, I accidentally made a factually inaccurate statement. 

The real story: The Romney family spent $77,000 on their horse in training for the Olympic event, Horse Dressage, where the horse is trained to act elegantly with minimal human cues. Because the horse made no money, the Romney family claimed the $77,000 as a loss and received a mere $50 tax deduction. Soz. 

Interestingly enough, the horse recieved about $2,000 in medical care, whereas the average United States family spends $1,500.

Homework + YouTube Live Debate = Just Fine Last Two Times. 

Just saw the first question.
Romney: "I know how to get the economy going"
Obama: "I can get the economy going, and here's why..."

every time either of them say "middle class" i cringe a little because all it means is "the social class you believe that you are in regardless of who you are"

The Second Presidential Debate is tonight!
Now streaming live from YouTube, listen as you do your homework.

The mind can't preform two tasks at once with the same quality.  You're probably better off just doing your homework in peace 

Or, for me, I'm doing my homework first. 

I don't have any homework. I'm on vacation at the beach.

Romney just convinced me not to vote for him (if I could). Romney: When Obama became president gas was $1.86. lolno

Not everywhere. I'm sure in some places it was that price.

It was in the place that the debate is taking place, I think.

I stopped watching the debate because it made me go insane and I need to go to bed soon.

I'm watching it and using Scratch at the same time. I love multitasking!

Yay my 800th post!

Every time they say "small business", I cringe for similar reasons.  Both terms can be inclusive while at the same time creates a "us and them" philosophy.  It also oversimplifies the issues (in a rather arbitrary way).

When I talk about the middle class, I mean the people between the poor and the rich. For example, I consider myself in the upper portion of the middle class.

Lower class = barely make enough to survive
Middle class = make enough to survive and live comfortably
Upper class = make lots of money

Anyone else think Obama is going to win this debate?

Yep. I do. 

I just listened to the "Storm" movement of the Pastoral Symphony by Beethoven (great piece of music, btw), and that kind of symbolizes the country. I'm hoping that we get to the happy movement after that ("Cheerful and thankful feelings after the storm") soon. From my viewpoint, Obama will cause that to happen sooner. (Sorry, bad metaphor  )

When they talk about the war, all Obama can say is "I (supposedly) ended the war! I took out OBL!"  Is that all? Yep.

I stopped watching a while ago, but I seriously doubt that's all he said.

He has also taken a bunch of troops out of Iraq and is working on Afghanistan right now.

He has also pretty much ended the war in Iraq and is working on Afghanistan right now.

Yeah, but it's still a war. There's no difference between the war in Iraq, or Afghanistan,

There is now 1 war instead of 2. That actually is quite a big difference.

There are also a lot fewer troops now in Afghanistan.

Complete Chaos At The Debate! Nobody Is Able To Say Anything!!! All They Can Do Is Stutter!!! Lol!

I'm not lying. You're lying about all that Obama's supposedly done.

Sorry about that. I just had to get that off my chest. Whew, it feels good to let that one out.

Wow. You just insulted 95% of us here. I have to say, that disgusts me almost as much as Romney does. Romney's making everything up on the fly and saying that it's been his plan all along. And must I remind you that the republican party got us into both wars and has pushed to not end them? You haven't provided any evidence for anything you've said. I call the general population of the republican party tribal for a reason; there's no evidence whatsoever. I take that back. there is evidence. They've tried this kind of stuff before, and look where we were when bushs term ended. And after even the first debate, he STILL can't give any specifics. He just does whatever he can to get in power so that he can make sure the top 0.1 percent are as much richer as everyone else as they are now, if not more. Ah, that felt good to get off my chest.

I did not mean that as an insult. Please do not be insulted by it.
