FactChecking the Hofstra Debate

Obama and Romney continue false, misleading attacks in second debate.

Summary

The second Obama-Romney debate was heated, confrontational and full of claims that sometimes didn’t match the facts.

• Obama challenged Romney to “get the transcript” when Romney questioned the president’s claim to have spoken of an “act of terror” the day after the slaying of four Americans in Libya. The president indeed referred to “acts of terror” that day, but then refrained from labeling it a terrorist attack.
• Obama claimed Romney once called Arizona’s “papers, please” immigration law a “model” for the nation. He didn’t. Romney said that of an earlier Arizona law requiring employers to check the immigration status of employees.
• Obama falsely claimed Romney once referred to wind-power jobs as “imaginary.” Not true. Romney actually spoke of “an imaginary world” where “windmills and solar panels could power the economy.”
• Romney said repeatedly he won’t cut taxes for the wealthy, a switch from his position during the GOP primaries, when he said the top 1 percent would be among those to benefit.
• Romney said “a recent study has shown” that taxes “will” rise on the middle class by $4,000 as a result of federal debt increases since Obama took office. Not true. That’s just one possible way debt service could be financed.
• Romney claimed 580,000 women have lost jobs under Obama. The true figure is closer to 93,000.
• Romney claimed the automakers’ bankruptcy that Obama implemented was “precisely what I recommend.” Romney did favor a bankruptcy followed by federal loan guarantees, but not the direct federal aid that Obama insists was essential.
• Romney said he would keep Pell Grants for low-income college students “growing.” That’s a change. Both Romney and his running mate, Ryan, have previously said they’d limit eligibility.

Both candidates repeated false or misleading claims they have made, and we have rebutted, many times before. Obama repeated his claim that he wouldn’t put tax rates for affluent families higher than they were under Bill Clinton. Actually, he’s already signed two new taxes that will also fall on those same high-income persons. And Romney accused Obama of saying “no” to the Keystone XL pipeline. Actually, no final decision has been made, and the company says it expects to win approval and start construction early next year.

See the highlighted areas...bullet point 3 and 6...which one would you rather be your President? Someone who can't count and sees 500,000 the same as 93,000 or someone who had a verbage issue in repeating his opponents humorous (for lack of a better "nice" term) energy analysis.
93,000 is a lot of women out of work....but there could have been more had we gone into a depression...what would have been eminent with someone like Romney in the White House.
Furthermore, windmills and solar panels won't power the economy...but investing in green energy creates jobs...and if we really try we could once again be the leader in something...instead of sending everything...all the businesses and opportunities to other nations...or depending on them for our own energy.
HOW CAN SOMEONE VOTE ROMNEY!????!!!!???!?!!!??!!!?? It just boggles my mind!
