Voters get their first chance Wednesday night to see President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney on the same stage as the 2012 presidential debates kick off in Denver.
The six topics at the hour and a half long debate will focus on domestic policy.
Here at Patch, we have invited several New York political influencers from both sides of the aisle to take part in a live chat during the debate. The confirmed participants are:
- Don Scott (R), Bedford GOP chair
- Michael Fagan (D), Long Beach City councilman
- Linda Cabral Marrero (R), Village of Ossining mayoral candidate
- Paul Feiner (D), Greenburgh Town supervisor
- Thomas Kehoe (R), Northport Village trustee
- Steve Behar (D), former NYC Council candidate, Democratic consultant
- Peter Swiderski (D), Village of Hastings-on-Hudson mayor
- Michael Kane (D), Peekskill Democratic City Committee district leader
- Laura Morris (D), Pelham Village trustee
and cover ups? let's talk about the PLANNED TERRORIST ATTACKS on US embassy in Libya on the anniversary of 9-11 which killed for Americans including US Ambassador Chris Stevens There's blood on the hands of Obama and his administration. Obama's lies and cover ups will sink Obama during Foreign Policies debates... And not only that - there's an investigation going on the handling of the terrorist attacks and heads are going to roll. Both Republicans and some Democrats support this investigation , including John Kerry. This is a HUGE story, that won't go away. The American public demands the truth.
I gotta say that the Obama payroll tax cut reduced Social Security tax by 2%. That is supposed to be funding our future retirement. He effectively told every wage earner to lower their retirement contributions and live for today. Nearsighted.
The attacks in libya happened when the anti islam movie was put out. rermember OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD. Something that the republicans could not do for 8 years . The republicans STARTED 2 WARS. Look at all of those who died for us over there and the war veterans who came back missing limbs. You want to talk about who has blood on therir hands?? Republicans do . Romney wants to increase military spending so he can start another war with Iran . why?? it would be good for his business partners
And BTW, the Republican party did not start 2 wars. No President or party - Republican or Democrat - can start a war by themselves. We live in a Democracy - if you know what that means?
PRES OBAMA tells PM Mubarack that he must leave Egypt because he was not elected by the "People" He was a man the Kept Peace with our "ONLY TRUE" Friend in the Middle East, Israel. So after riots in Egypt for many weeks Mubarack stepped down leaving the country for Free Elections. But a little backround first. Hosi Mubarack came into power because Anwar Sadat was assassinated during a parade. Sadat hand picked Mubarack as his successor before Sadat was killed. So lets see who Assassinated Anwar Sadat, a man of Peace. Well guess who? The Moslem Brotherhood. The same Radical Group in power now, that we give $$1.5 Billion to. SO Obama gets rid of an ally of ours(Mubarack) for a Radical Moslem and Leader of the Moslem Brotherhood Morci who is inciting trouble with Israel
I would like to know what Pres Obama is going to give Russa when he said on an open mic "Tell Putin I can do more after Im re-elected" What is he going to do??? Pres. Obama already gave up the Missle Denfence System promised to Poland when he was first elected, and possilally giving Russa a chance to reclaim Poland again. So what is Pres Obama going to give Putin? Please tell me. Thank You
You obviously believe all the lies you have been told the last 4 years, thay you can not recognize the truth when you are faced with it. We have a disasterous economy, high unemployment with no change in sight, a slowing economy growing at 1.3% while last year it was an anemic 2.3%. Last week 367,000 filed for 1st time unemployment benefits up from the revised 362,000 the previuos week. Last month the private sector created 114,000 new jobs. Do you see adisparity in these numbers? Do you believe the excuses for obama's empty suit performance? he only arrived in Denver at 2pm and was not acclimated to the high altitude, he was not prepared for Romney's organized, factual well prepared debate? Romney was lying. You obviously believe the lying excuse. Obama can not talk without his teleprompter, his agenda is not to grow the economy, his goal is to have a socialist society with big government controlling all business and our lives. he is the worst thing that ever happened to this great country. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
As far as Bin Laden, history will show he ws killed during Obama's presidency, and will also reflect that Bush could not get him the entire time he was in office when 911 happened under his watch, and it took the next president's army to track and kill him. Argue whatever little detail you would like , history goes for the simple timelines and our children and their children will only know the blanket statements. Have fun arguing the details.
(1. The president looked tired?? Well he should be trying to run the most powerful country in the world instead of fund raising. Beside, How many men and woman are serving "our" country than don't get any sleep, carry 70 lb. backpack, endure 110 degree temperatures so I don't feel so bad for The President. ' cont
3) As you stated, President Obama made the call to have Bin laden killed. In my opionion, anybody would have done the same so no big deal. But it was President Bushs' Policy that gave the Intel Community the info to track him down. cont'
Please comment on this Jimmy, I'd like to hear you spin on these facts. Thanks.
