More observations from the last two presidential debates

1.  I would not have been surprised if Mitt Romney and President Obama had challenged each other to a fist fight during the town hall debate.
2.  At one point, Mitt Romney basically told the President to shut up and sit down during the town hall debate.  The President did sit down.  I was kind of like, "Dude, you do NOT speak that way to the President!"
3.   I am still curious as to whether or not the Republican ticket understands math.  Or why they would seriously want to repeal Obamacare (hello, it's giving everyone access to health insurance and no, it does not strip you of your already-existing plan!).  Or why they think we are so gullible that we wouldn't notice that they aren't giving details about their tax plans that involve "closing loopholes and deductions."
4.  President Obama really brought his game on the last debate.  Of course, being that it was on foreign policy, he actually has the experience to back himself up.
5.  I think I much prefer the debate formats where the candidates and the moderator are all sitting around a table in close proximity to each other.
6.  My favorite sound bites (loose quotations):
     a.  "Binders full of women..."
     b.  "The 1980s called and they want their foreign policy back..."
     c.  The bit about horses and bayonets. 
7.  Michelle Obama wears some really cool dresses.

Can't wait until November 6th!
