"Obama wins second debate -- Too Bad it's not the one that mattered." Jeff Greenfield Yahoo hack.

Yahoo "news" has become the new Fox. The majority of their "news" is anti-Obama. They have their "contributor network" which also is just these weird political freepers who write stories about how the President hates white people, and it's on Yahoo's front pages. So this one comes from Jeff Greenfield.

Greenfield has the most UNII!UE pro-Romney spin of all today. Yes.. the President clobbered Romney, but oh well.. doesn't fucking matter. Too late. Game over. Who IS Jeff Greenfield????


"To be clear: There was nothing particularly off about Romney. He had several strong moments, most especially contrasting what Obama said he would do in 2008 with what in fact had happened over the past four years. This was, and is, the single most powerful argument against returning Obama to the White House, and Romney deployed it effectively"

NO Greenfield, there was something VERY off about Romney. He was a bully, he was interrupting, he was acting like he was on crack most of the time. He was rude, he was confused, he was angry.

I don't have the official stats, but am willing to bet more people watched debate #2 than debate #1. Or at least an equal number.

And President Obama laid such waste to Romney last night, it does matter.

I also think that he was "in the tank" for Bush against Gore.

I get so annoyed by Yahoo, and how biased they are. I can barely stand that guy, who wrote that story. The hell with him!

because they think Greenfield is a liberal. They think or are spinning that Romney won and hate Greenfield for saying that Obama won. Take a look at the comments , they're hilarious. They don't care about the "doesn't matter" part-- of course Greenfield is clearly wrong: it does matter and the Yahoo conservatives' comments are the clear proof.

I read this garbage this morning with deep disgust. Yahoo is land's end for wastoids like Jeff Greenfield that have no where else to go.

The problem with these so called experts is that they have delusional ideas about their own importance.
