As a person who follows politics and the elections fairly closely, I got little to nothing out of the debate last night. However, I did pick up three key points:
1) Mitt Romney talks way too much
2) Jim Lehrer (the moderator) looked like he wanted to bang his head against a wall
3) Some people don't like you posting political stuff on Facebook
First off, Mitt Romney talks way too much. He interrupted President Obama. He interrupted Jim Lehrer. Heck, I think he even interrupted himself. It was ridiculous!
Next up, the moderator himself. Jim Lehrer honestly looked like he wanted to just get up and leave. Each candidate wanted about ten hours over his allotted time and Lehrer was frustrated at the whole thing.
Not to mention, Romney insulted Lehrer and PBS by saying he would cut subsidies that the broadcast organization gets. To defend himself, Romney said, "But I love you, Jim, and I love Big Bird." Yea, definitely not a good thing to say in front of a PBS icon!
Finally, I guess some people don't like others posting political things on Facebook. I'm sorry but deal with it. Like I alluded to in a post on my Facebook profile, no one is forcing you to read those politically-charged posts.
Facebook is an open forum that is supposed to be used for catching up with friends and family but it can and should be used for the posting of opinions as well. Just as long as you're not communicating threats to one another, I don't see any harm in it. If you don't like a post, use a handy tool called the scroll bar. Just ignore it!
Well, there you have it. My not-so-sincere debate recap.
I decided to do this because, quite frankly, my mind is already made up and what is said at this point is trivial to me. Although, I'm still waiting on Mitt Romney's actual plans to deal with our country's issues. I'd really love to hear them!
