Ya...what bias....Obama makes a joke, WT labels it "ridiculing Romney's wealth"

In fact, the entire exchange was supposed to be about immigration....

Like I said looking back on it it was a reality show. The audience would have really gone wild if Romney had gotten in Obama's face and Obama had clocked him with a round house haymaker.
In fact every election after that candidates all over the world would have tried to compete so their rating would go up! (punch a button to make an instant donation while you watch)
I'm sick of these guys.


Be soooooooooo
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
damned glad when we finally get a female administration and women majority in the Congress.

Of course by that time they'll be expected to mud wrestle. Guess that puts the tri amputee veteran out of the running...

In a room set aside for reporters to watch Tuesday night's debate I would expect reporters to show their humanity and sense of humor more openly than on camera regardless of any political bias real or imagined.The joke was funny and I would've been more concerned if reporters were stoic and totally unresponsive even in the press room...

Obama has built a large part of his campaign around attacking Romney for his wealth. At one point claiming Romney's sole interest in running was to lower taxes on rich people like himself. But it is all good humor when the "objective" press cheers for their chosen candidate.

In that press room set aside for reporters,I wonder if they had it sectioned off. One side for the "objective" reporters and the other reserved for the liberal media and how did they go about deciding who sat on what side? and how can they be so cock sure that no objective reporter was among those who applauded the remark? We cannot be sure of this, so in my opinion,the argument is subjective.

I understand your point but is it possible a few of those obviously "objective" reporters also thought the joke that Obama made was funny?. When Reagan said to his liberal opponent.. "I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience." I have no doubt in my mind that a "few" liberals laughed at the remark against their hero. We need to laugh more and understand that it's good for us, as opposed to biting our tongues in order to "appear" objective and unbiased. It was a funny remark,at least to some of us it was funny including members of the press.
