This week marked the first presidential debate and depending on whether you rep the donkeys or the elephants, your view on who won the debate is really still actually up for debate.
Some say President Obama took the high road, others say he just fell flat. Considering the debate occurred on the date he married Michelle, perhaps he was a bit distracted and thinking about the evening’s festivities.

Whatever the case, watch the debate in it’s entirety below + feel free to join the ‘StraightFromTheA” debate on the pros & cons of Family Circle’s First Lady cookie contest, which has consistently predicted the winner of the last 3 presidential elections…
VIDEO: First Presidential Debate: Obama vs. Romney 10/3/12
Most voters have already decided who they will vote for and it has nothing to do with the candidate’s debating skills. With that being said, the real issue at hand is who won the cookie contest?!
Since 1992, Family Circle magazine has hosted a cookie recipe contest between the FLOTUS and the opposing candidate’s spouse.
What’s interesting is that the magazine’s contest winner has predicted who will be the future FLOTUS correctly in all years with the exception of the 2008 contest.
[Sidebar: Word on the curb is that McCain’s wife stole the recipe off a Hershey’s box and cheated that year. So I guess we can say the "true" winner still won! But I digress...]
Guess who won this year?
You got it! First Lady Michelle Obama’s Mama Kaye’s White and Dark Chocolate cookies beat out Ann Romney’s M& M cookies.
So I guess it’s safe to say that Barack has this one in the bag…
On a side note, do women still bake cookies from scratch these days?
Do you buy into Family Circle’s prediction that the winner of the cookie contest will win the election?
Oh… and what are your thoughts on the Obama/Romney debate?

Obama WILL NOT be leaving till AFTER his 2nd term is over!!! Thank U Jesus in advance
President are only allowed to serve two terms, otherwise Bush would be stealing more elections.
Of course he is going to finish his second term. Strategically speaking, if he is defeated a second term, he is eligible to run one more term, in which he will win.
blah blah blah mitt shut your shapeshifting arse up all u do is BITCH BITCH BITCH! u will be no better than obama because u both are cut from the same illumanti cloth, u both are owned by Israel and the shadow gov…..and p.s the middle class died around 2001 the us has turned into a freaking clown show, no need to vote they control the ballots, congress and the media. WW3 will be happening soon regardless.
I did not watch the debate! However, I laughed hard at all the commentary it has recieved.
What I do know is Romeny is he own worst enemy first the comment of 47% and then talking about cutting out all of programs.
Then to top it off he talking about getting rid of PBS is he serious?
BigBird, Oscar, The count, Bert & Ernie (Well they already live together because of the recession ) oscar the grouch all will be without a job. (sigh)electric company ,MR Rogers. and did I say 47% of americans he said were lazy all will be without a job.
Don’t forget about Elmo (He’s voiced by a black guy)
You know what was bad about that PBS line, Big Bird loooking for word was trending for 60 hours straight after the debates. Not only is Mitt known for flip-flopping and repealing Obamacare (among other things), but he’s now the guy ready to fire Big Bird. Not a good look in my book.
Besides, what is there to gain by ending PBS? it’s not gonna do anything to help the economy. And you can fact-check that. LOL
Big Bird looking for WORK, not word. my bad
Mitt ate Obama’s ass alive. Obama would’t even make eye contact. What type of mess is that??? Forget the high road. Who takes the high road when their job is at stake? Obama better step his game up, or change the game for that matter, and let Mittens know, "You aint taking this White House back, we saw what happened last time Republicans ran the show and they ran the entire country into the ground in 8 years under Bush." Then Obama needs to break out those dead Bin Ladin photos, hold them up high, and let the country know, "What Bush couldn’t capture and kill in 8 years, I captured and killed in 2. So don’t tell me I can’t get shit done." These wealthy white men are not playing around when they say they are taking that White House back, and Obama needs to let them know they aint taking shit back.
And wtf is Joe Biden even still doing on the ticket? Obama should have BEEN replaced him with Hillary. Either way, Biden better step his game up cause Paul Ryan is about to chew his ass up and spit him out next Thursday.
But I agree with "Mon88" above, it’s all rigged and we knew that back when Bush stole the Florida vote in order to get his second term. Unless you live in a swing state, you don’t matter. I’m just writing here to give Obama some pointers as to how he can continue riding in Air Force One, hahahaha…
Barack is lovin’ this! This is why he doesn’t socialize with his cabinet. Even Chris Matthews whom I love fell for it. See..there’s too many spies in the white house. Nobody got to peep his game. Barack’s a baller, not a boxer. This is no rope a dope…though the DOPE did get comfy and thought he was at Bain Capitol. He probably thought "B" was an employee. "B" just smiled,looked down and shook his head.Let him bounce his transparent lies all over the court. I think basketball is 2 out of 3. Check dude out,don’t "check" him in first game.Check him in second game, then SLAM DUNK his azz in third and send his azz on back to the mormon hell he crawled out of.
"He probably thought "B" was an employee."
LMAO!
Basketball is 2 out of 3. I’ve seen Barack Ball, and I’m sure you have too. Dude is like Jordan 85 with it. Notice how anytime Barack got him on his BS, people REALLY did notice aside from the many times Romney came at him.
Don’t underestimate Joe Biden. The republicans have made a joke out of Biden but he is very intellegent. Republicans have successfully convinced folks that Biden is a stupid and feeble. He is not. Joe’s "flaw" is that he shoots from the hip without thinking first. That makes him real. Check his record. It’s impressive.
Plus, I don’t have Obama selecting an idiot for vice prez anyway.
SPEAK! AND Joe’s brought sexy back! I LOVE this man. He speaks from his heart. I’d bet he doesn’t even HAVE notes. And when he does debate "Sling Blade Eddie Munster"..he knows that unlike Barack, he’s only got one shot. I’m bettin’ it will be a shot heard around the world. What I will be looking for in closeups are Ryan’s eyes (to see if they’re dilated), whether he still has that guttural throat noise and sniffling between lies (this is suspect). Check it out.
He sure does look like Eddie Munster. Bwahahahaha!
You speak the truth! Love Joe Biden and his record is very impressive.
I don’t think Mitt won. He doesn’t have a plan nor could he give us specifics. Not only that he lied so many times during the debate about his plans four our country. I think his aggressiveness during the debate is what some people are viewing as winning. However, like Obama said during the debate, 5 weeks before the election now he so calls doesn’t want to raise taxes on the middle class. Yet before the debate Mitt has campaigned to raise taxes on the middle-class. Mitt is a strong debater but I don’t think the Obama campaign was expecting him to flat out lie so I hope America is smart enough to not fall for it.
I bake cookies from scratch a few times a year. It’s fun and actually not that hard to do! If I didn’t have to work for a living, I’d probably make more.
I agree making bake goods from scratch is not that hard and so much cheaper than getting the ready made stuff. My mom still bakes her own bread, the hardest part is needing it and you can do that in a food processer.
And things made from scratch taste better. I usually cook all my food from scratch. The end result is better than any restaurant.
Ann??!! You web crawlin’? LMAO. This IS probably what she’d do if she HAD to work. Especially since it’s not that hard. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see them on "Survivor in America".Urban style. Give’em transpasses, food stamps,a welfare check and put em’ in a row home in Philly. I think this is equivalent to "BOOT STRAPS". The game will last one welfare month….post game….Divorce! And Ann,being an actual female (though she did submit to selective sperm invitro in order to have FIVE BOYS to increase Mitt’s mormon lineage) having experienced a moment of a real woman’s life will find and sponsor important issues in real women’s lives. We can buy cookies at any gas station or dollar store.Can’t afford wasting energy to bake cookies unless you’re selling them. And I don’t believe Ann’s cookies are that good. White peoples taste buds be off. I HAVE white friends and have yet to like anything they’ve cooked for work luncheons. Dead taste buds. IJS
You are right about that. White people dont know how to season their food correctly, and for some odd reason, they LOVE mayonaise..
President Obama could have gone out there sounding like Yo Gabba Gabba and I still would vote for him. He went easy to the debate and allowed his intellectual finesse work for him, while his opponent just tried to show out.
Your comment shows what is wrong with the voting electorate….
All mittens did was be loud rude and lie and not really say nothing. The POTUS expressions had me rolling. You know what it’s going to be like when an old treasure like PBS is threatened. That’s probably why the moderator lost all focus. They need Jon Stewart there to moderate. Lol
OH No, not Jon Stewart. Jon would probably be the one Mitt had to debate and Obama would just stand there while he just let that rest his case for a second term. LOL, that would be hilarious.
Jon would give it to Mittens straight and fact checked something the POTUS won’t do because he’s so respectful even though he’s the most disrespected President. Sometimes I kinda wish President Obama was the one in that chair that Eastwood was talking to lol. That one didn’t take no ish I just hope he reads him for filth next time cause there’s a lot of etch a sketching and lies he can get Myth on. Lol
It really doesnt matter who wins because Romney and President Obama’s policies are the same.Just like the President found out his first day of work(as they all do),Washington is a well oiled machine and you have to do as you are told to do.Anyone who believes that you determine who wins the election is naive, they dont even count the absentee votes.People need to wake up,READ, and seek out the true information about whats going on in Washington for themselves.Fuck what you see on TV cause its all run by the same people.Half of yall asses dont even keep up on what the Supreme Court is doing. Anyways….its 2012 and rent is still too damn high..
I agree with most of what you’re saying as how govt. is run. But there’s one truth that I know for sure..as this devil gives a speech on national security at Lexington Virginia.."The world needs our guidance, the mideast wants us to lead,we MUST stand up and take the lead". Okay, and just how many more wars should we get into now? I know that many troops are committing suicide being caught up in wars that you cannot get out of.Makes no difference your age or gender. What scares me is not the wars overseas that we have nothing to do with and Obama is getting us out of…it’s the war that we WILL HAVE within this USA. No terrorists or outside forces. The well oiled machine that you describe,set in place who knows how many generations ago has now been threatened. Obama dares to f*ck with their formula.Their formula was blatantly exposed during the Bush years. If Obama can get that second chance, with seats won in house and senate…he has president to forever change their ponzi govt systems. He KNEW he couldn’t do it in 4 yrs. so he had to gey through most difficult one"health care". Second term will be regulations and hopefully taking back some of the powers given to states. Especially where voting and reproduction rights are concerned. And as far as Israel..hell,they got the same weapons we got. Defend your own damn country. Israel has no sources that benefit us and Jesus doesn’t live there anymore.
What I wonder is, have voters repub and demo really taken the time to envision a Mitt Inc. administration? Even Bush needs botox thinking about vulnerability of maybe not qualifying for THAT club. However you’re living,things will change. If you have worked all your life,lived as patriotically and morally upstanding,paying your mortgage or what’s left of it,sent your kids to college or have them in tuition charter/private schools, paid into or have job provided health care….and this is only about what’s left of the middle class…one month or more illness can wipe you out. Mitt’s job creation is counting on just that. In Mitt’s perfect world, median income should be around $40k and preferably less. Thus the"right to work" proposal. Get rid of unions. Employers can fire at will replacing your wage with 2 or 3 workers. Seeing those Asians working for 24 cents an hr. really turned him on. If he can get rid of minimum wage he can create more jobs. Families can "bunk up" like that plant he toured. Six/eight whatever it takes to pay bills. Just like the Duggars. The Hutterites. Mormon colonies. No more safety nets. Welfare is first to go. Then medicaid,medicare and lastly Social Security. Although SS will take care of itself with age requirement set at 70ty.
He would accomplish most of this in first 2 yrs. with tea party congress and senate whose seats (if he wins) will be stolen just like his. He’ll have to set even more stringent rules for voting in order to keep power because all those Barack hating repubs will be in a state of shock when they find out his proposed loop holes which they WON’t know until AFTER election. Just like his taxes. At least Big Bird is a character,though Sesame Street IS an important learning tool especially for poor children who won’t be going to preschool kindergarten cause Mitt says that’s a wrap. May not even GET to go to school since teachers irritate him. What’s gonna happen to the poor people? Well the sick..young and old will die off from denied health care,food and housing. Black men will suddenly be given part time jobs building prisons all over the place…then ironically placed in them for using the only deppressive med they can get..weed. They’ll never legalize that and probably will issue 50ty yr. sentences to ween out Black babies. They could eventually turn prisons into equivalent concentration camps for ethnic cleansing. As snug as we are watching BBW’s and Honey Boo Boo…all those countries being bombed and in turmoil in the mideast..had familirs doing the same thing, driving the same cars..living our lives. All it takes is one mad man with a regime of loyal followers and just like that,"HITLER". Assad, Saddam,Gaddaffi,Mossarik,Kony,Admahjimadine,Putin,…all with Hitler hearts. Has our time come? Is THIS our HITLER?
