Question by Wolvy: How do I say "Forever and a day" in Greek? I went to an online web translator, and typed in "Forever and a day" and this is what it came back with " λεξικό δεν βρήκε καμία λέξη" I want to make sure that this is correct, as I plan on having this engraved on rings :D Also, if possible if you could tell me what each word represents that would be very helpful.

Answer by vilgessuola
I would say 'Î'ιώνια αγάπη' = eternal love. 'Î"ια πάντα και μια μέρα' is a word-for-word translation of 'forever and a day' but in Greek it sounds strange.

Answer by yianniscy84
λεξικό δεν βρήκε καμία λέξη means the dictionary has not found any words :) It's better to say which is a greek phrase "Î"ια μια αιωνιότητα και μια μέρα" which means "For the eternity and one day": Î"ια=For μια=one αιωνιότητα=eternity και=and μια=one μέρα=day

DENVER â€" In the first debate of the fall campaign, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney accused President Obama on Wednesday night of offering more “trickle-down government” if he is reelected this November.

Romney said Obama was running on the same platform as four years ago, while the Republican promised to generate more jobs by going to the assistance of small businesses.

Obama, given the first chance to say what he would do to spur more hiring, said he would also promote jobs by using money saved from the winding-down of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to rebuild America.

Leveling a familiar charge that Romney would offer more tax breaks for the wealthy, Obama said his alternative would be “a new economic patriotism that says America does best when the middle class does best.”

Obama opened by wishing a happy anniversary to his wife, Michelle, whom he married exactly 20 years ago.  He promised her that next year they wouldn’t be celebrating before 40 million people.

Romney joined in, offering congratulations and drawing a laugh from Obama by joking that “this is the most romantic place you could imagine” to be celebrating: “Here with me.”

He also shot back at Obama’s charge over taxes, saying that cutting taxes on the rich was “not what I’m going to do.”  He said the rich would pay the same share of taxes as they do now under his plan.

Answering one question that had been hanging over the event, moderator Jim Lehrer said that the questions would be about domestic issues.  There had been some speculation that foreign policy might be one of the discussion topics in the wake of the recent killing of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya.

Romney is lagging in the polls, but he took the stage at Wednesday night’s debate with some key advantages that could help him catch Obama.

The Republican candidate was in position to surprise the public with a strong performance; recent polls showed that most voters expected Obama to get the better of his opponent.  But Romney performed well in the 19 Republican primary-season debates, often coming across as presidential and rarely slipping up.

Another factor that figured to work to Romney’s benefit: The challenger typically has a built-in edge in the first presidential debate. Merely sharing the stage with the president helps to close any stature gap in voters’ minds.

In the pre-debate spin, the Obama camp underscored that point, as both sides worked overtime to limit any gain by the other side.   “If history tells us anything it’s that, as the challenger, Mitt Romney is likely to be called the winner by pundits,” deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said in memo to reporters.

At the same time, Romney faced substantially greater pressure than Obama heading into the 90-minute encounter. For a trailing candidate, simply holding one’s own isn’t good enough.

With less than five weeks until Election Day, most opinion surveys show Obama with a small but persistent lead nationally and in swing states that will decide the contest. By contrast, Romney has never been ahead of Obama in the RealClearPolitics average of national polls dating back to the start of the year.

That gap has made it increasingly imperative for the Republican to shift the balance of the contest against the vulnerable incumbent. Obama has improved his job approval ratings and has come close to the key 50% level in national polls.  But voters continue to say that the country is on the wrong track, though that measure has also been moving slowly in Obama’s direction.

Even Republicans said it was unlikely that Romney could accomplish the turnaround he needs in the debates.

Republican pollster Bill McInturff, co-director of the NBC/Wall Street Journal survey, said in an analysis of the latest presidential polling that it “would take an episode of some magnitude to disrupt the structural lock in these numbers.”  Obama led Romney by 3 percentage points among likely voters, 49% to 46%, in the survey, released Tuesday.

As Obama prepared for his first debate in four years, he joked about “zingers,” the rehearsed lines that both men were coached to deliver. But the greatest threat to his re-election chances is unlikely to come from something Romney said in the debates.
