“We’ve been through tough times, but we always bounce back because of our character.” Barack threw a lot of one-liners during tonight’s debate that are sure to go down in history. And on a night when Robney needed to question Barack, he just proved to be a copycat. Money Mitt kept trying to shift the conversation back to education and the high unemployment rate during the entire debate and in the end, Romney adopted Obama’s foreign policy and looked like an amateur who knew nothing about what it really takes to sit in that chair in the Oval Office! Mexico wasn’t mentioned once in tonight’s debate but China came up in regards to trade and finances. Barack didn’t hesitate to call out Romney on his shady relationship with them either when he said, “If it were up to Romney we’d be buying Chinese cars today, not selling cars to the Chinese”… According to CNN: A forceful President Barack Obama put Republican challenger Mitt Romney on the defensive on foreign policy issues on Monday night, scoring a solid victory in their third and final debate just 15 days before Election Day. Obama displayed the experience of a commander-in-chief in explaining U.S. policy under his leadership and attacking the views and proposals of Romney, a former Massachusetts governor with little experience on overseas issues. Romney applauded Obama’s efforts to kill Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda leaders but insisted that “we can’t kill our way of this mess.” Rather, he pushed for “a comprehensive strategy” to curb violent extremism in the Middle East. “The key is the pathway is to get the Muslim world to reject extremism on its own,” Romney said, proposing U.S. policies to promote economic development, better education, gender equity and to help create institutions. However, he was unable to express any significant policy difference with Obama on how that would happen. Obama responded by criticizing his opponent on a host of foreign policy issues — claiming Romney had favored positions that would have hurt the United States or offered sometimes contradictory views. “What we need to do with respect to the Middle East is strong, steady leadership — not wrong and reckless leadership that is all over the map,” the president said. Romney also repeatedly tried to shift the discussion to his strongest issue — the continued high unemployment and slow economic recovery under Obama — arguing that a strong foreign policy and national defense depends on a strong economy. The president shot back that Romney was basing his comparison on military capability on outdated models, saying America had fewer naval ships than years earlier but also has fewer bayonets. “The question is not a game of ‘Battleship’ where we’re counting ships. It’s a matter of capability,” Obama said. Romney’s economic plan seeks trillions in tax cuts while increasing defense spending, which would increase the deficit, Obama said The candidates were at odds as well about how Washington should ultimately respond to the continuing violence in Syria. We’re pretty sure Mitt’s voting for Barack tomorrow! What were your favorite cracks on Mittens that Obama whipped at the GOP candidate tonight? Photos via gettyimages

Harvard better expect an open letter from Bey very soon… Harvard Tells Black Girl Can’t She List Jay-Z As A Role Model Via BusinessInsider : Back in 2005, a Harvard freshman filling out a profile for an on-campus recruiting program listed Jay-Z as her business role-model. Chanequa Campbell was promptly called into the Office of Career Services and told to name someone else. “It’s not appropriate. I don’t think people will respond well to this,” the career counselor told her. Campbell, who grew up seven blocks from Jay-Z in Brooklyn and idolized the drug-dealer turned rapper turned entrepreneur, refused to name someone else. She argued with the career counselor awhile longer, finally offering as a small concession to use her role model’s given name, Sean Carter. “I know his resume,” Campbell told me. “He made most of his major respect—Wall Street respect—since ’04.” Seven years later Campbell, who ended up getting kicked out of Harvard, still gets upset telling how Harvard didn’t respect the businessman from her community. “Most of Jay-Z’s songs, if you understand his vernacular, he’s telling you how to be cool, how to be good at life,” Campbell says. “He’s promoting things of content, things to aspire to. He mentions Warhol, he mentions Basquiat. He mentions people you’ve never heard of. He brings this light to our normal conversation.” Hov hangs out with Barack Obama and parties with Warren Buffett. He trails only Sean “Diddy” Combs on the Forbes’ list of Future Hip-Hop Billionaires. If either makes the cut, he will join the short list of currently only five black billionaires in the world. Did Harvard get it wrong? Can rappers be role models too?

Vice President Joe Biden is at it again with his controversial remarks on the campaign trail. During a speech in Nevada, he made reference to Republican V.P. nominee Paul Ryan’s book Young Guns , which he co-wrote with other GOP Congressmen … Joe Biden: Bullets Aimed at You “They have guns but no bullets,” a member of the crowd shouted. “Unfortunately, the bullets are aimed at you,” Biden replied. The Vice President added that the GOP is dividing the U.S. by talking about “a culture of dependency.” Shortly after the rally, Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck hit back at Biden: “Today’s over-the-top rhetoric by Vice President Biden is disappointing, but not all that surprising.” “In the absence of a vision or plan to move the country forward, the vice president is left only with ugly political attacks beneath the dignity of the office he occupies.” Earlier this year, the 69-year-old Biden controversially told a Virginia audience that Mitt Romney’s economic policies would ” put y’all back in chains .” He was also criticized for his interruptive and combative nature during the vice presidential debate with Ryan earlier this month. For better or worse, that’s Biden for you. Decision 2012: Obama-Biden or Romney-Ryan? Obama-Biden Romney-Ryan View Poll »

They were two of the biggest movies in terms of box office this summer – and likely for all of 2012, yet the battle between The Dark Knight Rises and Marvel’s The Avengers opened a new front in the artistic sphere. TDKR made just over $1.07 billion worldwide (with a $250 million production budget), while Marvel’s The Avengers roared on with a $1.511 billion worldwide gross (and a production budget reportedly at $220 million). One cinematographer offered up his own impressions about the rival’s merits, calling it “appalling.” Wally Pfister won an Oscar for Inception as well as three nominations for Batman Begins , The Presige and The Dark Knight . He is even embarking on his own foray into the director chair on an upcoming project next year said that his past work as a news reporter and in documentary helped him to “reduce the amount of artifice” in his work. Though he has won recognition for his work with TDKR director Christopher Nolan on the Batman franchise, he admitted to not being much of a “super hero fan” and said his reaction was surprise when Nolan first approached him about doing Batman Begins . “I was like, really? A guy in a rubber suit?” Pfister is quoted as saying in the Herald-Tribune speaking to a film class in Sarasota, FL. He also gave his opinions on Marvel’s The Avengers , when asked what was most important in shooting a film. “What’s really important is storytelling. None of it matters if it doesn’t support the story,” said Pfister. “I thought The Avengers was an appalling film. They’d shoot from some odd angle and I’d think, why is the camera there? Oh, I see, because they spent half a million on the set and they have to show it off. It took me completely out of the movie. I was driven bonkers by that illogical form of storytelling.” Pfister, who along with Nolan has been steadfast advocate of film over digital, said The Prestige was his most “artistically fulfilling” and prefers TDKR among the Batman films. “I liked my work best in the last one, of course, because anything I felt I’d done wrong on each one, I’d right on the next one,” he said. He added that he’d “never say never” to any Batman 4 project. “I’m fortunate enough to have been successful enough that now I want to fulfill myself artistically. I guess I might do it right at the point where I had to sell my house.” His directorial debut is currently casting, but only gave a hint at details. “I can’t talk too much about it. It’s a present-day science fiction film, a fairly big concept. It’s bigger budget — not as big as Batman , but not independent. [ Sources: Herald-Tribune , Huffington Post , Box Office Mojo ]
