Dumped by his girlfriend and his family the same week, a sad mouse (singer Bruno Mars) just wants people to wave back...

Barack is Baaaaack!
This time, he wasn't so generous or polite in allowing dozens of big fat lies spewed from the mouth of Willard Romney to go unanswered. President Obama was tough, firm, strong and presidential.
Some of my favorite moments:
Willard claimed that the administration took 2 weeks before stating the Benghazi killings were acts of terror. When Willard asked the President if he indeed referred to it a terrorist attack the very next day in the Rose Garden, President Obama replied, "that's what I said." Again, Willard goaded him with the same question. "Please proceed," the president politely replied.
And then the lie. Willard made the false claim that the administration took 14 days to call it an act of terror. President Obama calmly said, "check the transcript." Even veteran news reporter Candy Crowley stated, "he did call it terrorism". And here is the tape, proving Willard to be the liar that he is:
Apparently video tape has a Liberal bias.
And then there's the whining that increased security at the Benghazi location was denied. State Department cables prove that there was no request for increased security at the Benghazi diplomatic location, let alone a denied one.
And what gall to whine about "denied security," when it was the Regressive republicans in congress who cut security to embassies and consulates by $500 million.
Here is a rightwing Regressive republican House member from Utah admitting that they cut security funding:
And then the Regressive republicans' war on women.
When asked months ago, Willard Romney refused to say whether he'd sign the Lilly Ledbetter equal-pay law. He avoided the question again last night. From Think Progress:
At Tuesday’s presidential debate, both candidates were confronted with a question about equal pay for women, who currently make 77 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts. President Obama touted his first bill signed into law, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which gave women more flexibility to sue over pay inequity.
Romney avoided the question, instead choosing to talk about how he made an effort to hire women during his governorship (a claim later contested by Massachusetts women’s advocacy groups). Soon after the debate, however, senior Romney adviser Ed Gillespie told the Huffington Post that, while Romney would not repeal the Lilly Ledbetter Act, he “was opposed to it at the time” and would not have signed it.
"I care for 100% of the American public," Willard claimed, in yet another attempt to refute the disturbing hidden-camera video of him clearly stating, at great length, that he has disdain and contempt for 47% of Americans who he believes are victims and moochers who "refuse to take responsibility for themselves," since they don't pay income taxes. Those moochers and takers Willard was talking about apparently include American veterans who don't pay income taxes; current American military personnel who don't pay income taxes; retirees; and those at or below the poverty line who don't pay income taxes -- yet still pay sales taxes, payroll taxes, gas taxes, property taxes, etc.

Student is Overwhelmed Meeting VP Joe Biden
Standing at the back of a packed high school gym as Vice President Biden finished speaking in Ft. Myers, Florida, on Saturday was 15-year-old Kobe Groce. He cradled a "Forward" sign, hoping to get the Vice President to sign it for his brother, Kaelin. After unsuccessfully trying to make it to the front of the event, a staff member asked if he could help. Kobe told his story, and the staffer left for a moment and came back, saying simply: "The Vice President would like to meet you."
"I turned around and looked back at my mother as I was walking with the staffer in disbelief—I didn't know how to react. I was about to meet the man that helped make my life so much better.Kobe was very grateful for the chance to meet the Vice President, but he didn't want to leave without something for his brother.
"My mother, Jessica, raised us as a single mother. She's a teacher and has worked so hard to support her four children. I wanted the Vice President to know that yes, we are definitely better off than we were four years ago. My family has received the tax cuts for the middle class that the President and Vice President passed, and it has helped us tremendously.
"The President and Vice President have gone above and beyond for people like me and my family, and they stand for things like keeping school affordable. My older brother uses Pell Grants and college loans to be able to afford school, and I'm thankful for that. I want to be able to go to Florida State University one day, and now I know I don't have to worry about being able to afford it. Life would not be the way it is today if they hadn't taken office four years ago.
"The Vice President approached me and I was introduced to him as a ‘special guest.’ I was overwhelmed with different emotions. I had this impulse to hug him, so I did. And I cried. I think I even got tears on the Vice President's suit jacket! I met someone who has done so much for my family without even knowing us, and that was an incredible, overwhelming feeling. I felt like he really heard me, like he knew who I was. I am hugging the man who will help me and help our President move forward."
"I explained to the Vice President that the reason I was there was because my older brother inspired me to do so. He said, 'Do you have his phone number?' Then he called him and said, 'Kaelin, this is Vice President Biden' and they chatted for about five minutes! He also signed my placard, and the last line of his note really has stuck with me. He wrote: 'It was a pleasure meeting you, keep the faith.'Today, Kobe is signing up to spend the last 34 days of this campaign working as hard to re-elect President Obama and Vice President Biden as they are working for him. Follow Kobe's lead and sign up to volunteer now.
"I'm definitely going to keep the faith, and the thing I'm most looking forward to is watching President Obama and Vice President Biden being sworn in for a second term on January 20th, 2013."

Romney "Won" Debate with Record Number of Lies
Willard told a whopping 27 whoppers in 38 minutes.
Want to see the list?
Here they are, debunked by fact-checkers.
Much Better Employment Numbers
In September 2012, the USA gained 114,000 new jobs and unemployment dropped to 7.8%. This is not due to "people who have given up," but to actual new jobs. The economy has added 5.2 million private-sector jobs in 31 straight months.
"We are moving forward," Obama said during a campaign rally in a Washington suburb. "After losing about 800,000 jobs a month when I took office, our businesses have now added 5.2 million new jobs over the past 2-1/2 years."
"This country has come too far to turn back now."
From the Washington Post:
"Unlike in August, the number improved for the right reason: not because people gave up looking for jobs, but because far more people reported having one." Read more here.

Heads on a Platter
Willard says he loves PBS, Big Bird and even Jim Lehrer, but will cut funding, which amounts to one THOUSANDTH of one percent savings. (0.001% of the budget)
