The second presidential debate was on televisions Tuesday evening at The Royal Falconer British Pub and at Joe Greensleeves Restaurant in Redlands.
The sound was off at The Falconer. At Joe Greensleeves, a group of Romney supporters sat upstairs in a room with the sound turned up. Another group watched in the upstairs with the sound turned up.
President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney faced off in the nationally-televised town hall debate at 6 p.m. Pacific Time.
It was around the same time the Redlands City Council met to consider several issues, including a final environmental impact report and conditional use permit for the proposed Super Walmart at San Bernardino Avenue and Tennessee Street.

However, in the Heller case in which the Supreme Court ruled for the first time there is an individual right to bear arms in the 2nd Amendment, the Obama Justice Department (an oxymoron if I ever heard one), argued there is not an individual right to bear arms under the 2nd Amendment. In other words the Obama admin argued there are no 2nd Amendment rights. Furthermore, the Heller decision was 5-4. If Obama is reelected and one of the (5) retires, Obama can take away all of our 2nd Amendment rights with one Supreme Court appointment.
Please see http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/10/17/Top-Ten-Lies-of-the-Second-Presidential-Debate#comments Obama said he does not believe government creates jobs and he believes in the free enterprise system. While there is no definitive proof, when you look and Obama’s policies, his words over the years before and after becoming president and his history of radical associations such as card carry communist Frank Marshall Davis (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/will-the-real-communist-please-stand-up-meet-obama-founding-father-3-frank-marshall-davis/), Does anyone, even Obama supporters believe Obama’s claim that he does not believe government creates jobs and he believes in the free enterprise system?
The CBO reports Obama’s “porkulous” bill increased the number of employed people between .2 million and 1.5 million at a cost between $4.1 million and $540,000 per job. http://www.aei-ideas.org/2012/05/cbo-obama-stimulus-may-have-cost-as-much-as-4-1-million-a-job/
1.3% growth, declining real incomes, the economy creating jobs slower than population increase, 1/6 in poverty, 23 million out of work, many of those with jobs, have part time jobs because that's the best they can find, hurt everyone, and the lower 47% most of all.
One can only hope that eventually Californians realize the results they are getting is due to the Dems they sent to Sacramento and Washington. Until then, CA will get the same Dem results from the same Dem politicians. “I bring reason to your ears, and, in language as plain as ABC, hold up truth to your eyes.” Thomas Paine
