There was a whole lot that should have gone down for both this night but thankfully it was only a bad Saturday Night Live skit….thankfully.

He name-checked Big Bird, but didn’t once mention foreclosures.
In an hour-and-a-half debate on an economy still shell-shocked by the housing crisis, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s sole critique of President Barack Obama’s policy was that regulators are taking too long to write new mortgage guidelines, and that this is holding back a full recovery of the market.
“It’s been two years,” Romney said. “We don’t know what a qualified mortgage is yet. So banks are reluctant to make loans, mortgages. Try and get a mortgage these days. It’s hurt the housing market.”
Obama, who decided to adopt his tedious law professor persona during the first presidential debate of the 2012 election, held Wednesday night in Denver, has taken the most flak from pundits for failing to press the attack against his rival. But Romney’s choice to focus on the speed at which regulators are writing new rules instead of hammering Obama for his disappointing foreclosure prevention programs also seems to be a missed opportunity.

They’re both idiotic idiots.
Why would either candidate dare say a serious word about the causes of the financial crisis? To do so would offend their corporate sponsors. This election needs to be boycotted, we have no candidate who is going to do anything but push austerity.
