President Obama's Powerful Closing Remarks, 10-16-2012

President Barack Obama's closing remarks at tonight's debate were passionate, articulate, inclusive, forthright, powerful and charismatic.

This is what America in 2012 is all about. Or should be.

Elvis Presley would have loved it. The Presley family were one of the "47%" -- as we all know.

Here is a YouTube clip:

This is a textbook example of a knock-out punch.

Totally agreed Doc. Obama nailed it in this debate. And Candy's pointing out Romney's outright lying was classic and well done.

Q: Mr Presley, as you've mentioned your time in the service, what is your opinion of war protesters and would you today refuse to be drafted?
Elvis: Honey, I'd just sooner keep my own personal views about that to myself cause I'm just an entertainer and I'd rather not say.

Q: There are a lot of stars today joining politics. Are you campaigning or…?
Elvis: No sir I'm not. I'm not involved in that at all, I'm just an entertainer.

Yes ian Elvis did keep his views on politics to himself. That was a very smart move on his part. What would be the point to make a personal statement, only to turn those who disagree against him?
I don't get the reasoning why you chose to derail this topic with a statement Elvis most likely would have had to say to answer any question of the type via be it addressed toward him .

Now that I'm past the ignorance , great clip Doc!

Thank God I'm not a Republican because it feels good to care about your country.

Obama's closing remarks were outstanding.He is the type of person whose words inspire people.I think Obama genuinely cares for the country and it's people.Personally I really like the guy.However good intentions are not enough to get the job done.I find myself torn between how I feel about him and what has transpired over the last four years.Obama certainly has been a game changer that's for sure.

Agreed. Excellent performance by the president.

His closing remarks were spot on. He hit it out of the park last night.

I wonder what Ambassador Stevens thought of last night's debate?

What a typical ignorant comment coming from a typical close minded Democrat!!!!! I know that there must be decent Democrats out there, but you sure give Democrat a Bad Name!!!!!

My post reminds me of Bon Jovi for some reason?

Polls, debates don't mean squat. The country is soooo polarized and divided, I predict a repeat of the 2000 election results.....the evening of November 6th will be a nail biter, no doubt. Romney must win Ohio to win the presidency.

RUSH: I don't want to go back and repeat the first hour, but honestly, the uniformity that I heard, and even from people on Fox, I did not see the same debate. And, by the way, I look at this stuff objectively. I don't want to lie to myself. If Romney really got smoked I don't want to sit here and tell myself it didn't happen. I don't do that. I don't live in false realities. I did not see a stellar Barack Obama. I'm not even talking about the lies. I'm just talking about he was not even fluent. He was staccato and he was choppy, he was searching constantly for a thought. He was working. I mean, the guy was grinding. We athletes, we have a term, grinding. That's when you're really having to work for it, it's not coming naturally. When you're out playing golf, and don't have it, you're grinding, trying to get it back. That's what he was doing last night. The poor old guy was grinding, folks. These people, they saw what they wanted to see.

Obama's closing remarks were outstanding.He is the type of person whose words inspire people.I think Obama genuinely cares for the country and it's people.Personally I really like the guy.However good intentions are not enough to get the job done.I find myself torn between how I feel about him and what has transpired over the last four years.Obama certainly has been a game changer that's for sure.

I seriously doubt anyone could have done a better job trying to rectify eight years of malfeasance and looting done by the Bush administration, all while having to work with conservatives who would rather derail his efforts than consider the benefits for the people they serve.

The new numbers, of course, don’t include much or any data collected after Tuesday night’s debate. It will take days to determine what effect that might have had.

There is no doubt he was faced with an absolutely monumental task. He also had so many people with unrealistic expectations on how quickly he was going to change things. Nobody could have lived up to it. I just have a problem with some of the things Obama has done while in office. In some instances I just feel he took the wrong course. Doc I certainly agree with you on efforts by the GOP to derail his efforts. I must also say I wish they would have succeeded on some issues. However I feel the animosity directed at this president is unprecedented. I have grown so tired of the bickering between the parties. People are so locked into their parties political affiliation so much that it blinds them and closes their minds. Both parties are equally guilty of not being able to work together for the good of the people they serve because they can't give an inch. The word bipartisan is used a lot. They just never follow through. There are good people on both sides of the aisles. It's a shame they can't work together.

As always, wonderful words, jak. You always make posts I want to read and consider.

One thought on making a choice in November: who do you trust to make Supreme Court appointments? These decisions are game-changers, and I prefer President Obama's judgment by a country mile. I hope most good Americans will agree

The constitution needs to be changed so that Bill Clinton can run for 3 more terms starting in 2016.

I think the appointing of Supreme Court judges may be the single most important function of our president. The president is charged with making a choice that will have an impact on the country long after he's gone. I wonder how many voters think of that when they cast their vote. Like I said Doc, I feel torn at this stage. I see positives and negatives with both candidates.

The choice is simple....

If you want economic prosperity and minimum war ..Vote Obama


If you want World War 3, Desolation, Increased Poverty, and a totalitarian/draconian government...Vote for Flip Flop Romney.

The choice is simple....
If you want economic prosperity... Vote Obama

Are American voters so mentally challenge that they need a debate winner to form their views.


Why not go the whole hog and have a TV talent quest...oops they are.


Roll on to the final at lynne University

Some of the leftie opinions voiced on this post are extremely radical and would be hilarious if not for the fact you actually believe this dribble.

Economic prosperity vs WWIII

How can you even attach your signature to such rubbish? Extremists like that try to shut down any sensible political discussion by resorting immediately to extremist hate-talk. Very sad.
