Think that because they are women might have something to do with it?

Or maybe just hardline democrats...

Sorry wrong answers Romney, we're talking big business here not small business owners, they aren't the ones taking jobs overseas...... What an idiot...

Obama wants away from guns so bad he pivoted to education. Slick.

I think some of the question askerers visited the Budweiser hospitality tent 'hic'

Didn't Obama blame the video at the UN a week after the attack?

The Libya incident was very sad and very confusing.

Obama didn't blame the video, he always said they were waiting for all the facts and he DID call it an act of terror the very next day.

But in context of this debate, Obama just owned Romney on the Libya issue and that should have been a gimmie for Romney.

Don't forget the fact that it was preventable had the State dept took the security of the Ambassador a bit more seriously, rather than concede to the new Libyan government's request not to use the normal US contracted security details used in other nations in the region..

less than 30 bucks a day, provide your own weapons and ammo was required by the firm tasked with that security deal...

Sorry, but I don't think a government that would go that low in regards forgoing security for diplomacy, are the one's I want running the country. Dem or Rep...

The solution is to eliminate the business incentives (tax breaks) for all US based companies that do not have at least 80% of their employees be US citizens.

That would create rapid in-sourcing of jobs.

Well he had been rather successful.... I bet he does know what to do...

Gee more anti corporate rhetoric from Obama about multinationals taxation,.

Which is like me saying New York has the right to the income Californians make!!

Not saying i support all guns in general, just wanted to point it out. But an interesting note, its quite easy to turn almost any gun into an automatic. that is what is scary

Actually, whether the law allows or prohibits certain weapons, is totally irrelevant. The free militias get everything that they need through "other" sources. Some day, many may be happy that they did,

He spoke about the video in relation to the Egypt protests, which is exactly what those protests were about.

Obama: "...when I was president".

did you guys catch that?
Speaking in the past tense... does he know something we don't, or is he sensing a shift?

AR-15s were designed for soldiers?

The three types of weapons used by the man accused of killing 12 people in a Colorado movie theater — a semiautomatic variation of the military’s M-16 rifle, a pump-action 12-gauge shotgun and at least one .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol — are among the most popular guns available in the multibillion-dollar American firearms market.

Shows your understanding of an AR-15 I love when people with no gun knowledge try to come in on that.....

The AR-15 is your standard hunting round with your standard rate of fire, on a modified platform........what does that mean?

It means its no different then a 223 except cosmetically........

You can reconfigure the AR-15 to fire a variety of ammo types, thus altering it's power greatly. And, what a lot of people do not understand, is that a semi-automatic rifle is way more effective than a fully automatic rifle. Spray and pray doesn't really get you anywhere. An AR-15 configured to fire NATO rounds properly is a highly effective weapon equal to any M16 carried by our soldiers around the world.

I fully believe most soldiers with M16's already have it selected to single or burst anyway, and not set to fully automatic.

Small business is the single largest job creator in this country.

Those are your mom and pops,next door neighbors.

Small business is where it is at.

Yes, depending the actual plan the government says you are under, which is based on income level. in the lowest of incomes you only pay $18 a month for the insurance, at the people making 250% the average pay $105 or something like that. Copayments are done on an individual treatment, but according to some people, you pay nothing. Preventative care/medicine has a copayment for sure though. Sorry if im not 100% sure, i read as much as I can but its kidn've boring to read insurance policy

Romney served as a missionary to dodge the draft...

Romney can't say he cares about 100% of the American people.

Sorry Mitt, you can't backtrack on your 47% comment.
