I thought they were both good. Obama may have had a few more gotcha moments. I thought the Libya thing backfired on Romney.
You are right there. It was almost as if Obama studied up on the Benghazi thing. When he listed all the things a president should do
and that he did do, Romney sort of pulled his ears in a bit.
Obama sure got his back up when Romney reminded him of his decision to go campaigning in Nevada and Colorado within one day of the event.
My only beef with the American elections is that the damned things are on for a whole year.

My only beef with the American elections is that the damned things are on for a whole year. The year might have been
justified in the days of Patrick Henry but there is no reason why the elections couldn't be held in a couple months.
Communications are no longer handled by Pony Express. A president and his administration can plan, initiate, start,
and finish a war in the time it now takes to hold an election, Nonsense!!!
Small potatoes! I doubt very much if the decision was made the day he went!
Obama got his back up on this because he knows that his actions in going on the campaign trail at that time rather than doing the right thing and looking into the event is being critically examined by the voters.
He placed his reelection aspirations far ahead of the value of the lives of the diplomats that were killed
….this question actually comes from my, err, um, a brain trust of my friends at Global Telecom Supply in Mineola yesterday, we were sitting around talking about Libya…If Candy Crowley already had the audience questions assembled the day before, how could Kerry Ladka and his brain trust friends have been writing one?
Where are all those that stated Romney would hand Obama his head.
Obama nailed Romney on the issues I mentioned- and more.
And Romney was stressed - Guess he thought it would be a cake walk.
Any doubts that Obama can go head to head with Romney. Please let me know.
CM as to the diplomats - A President has to campaign- He can and did address the issue.
If a President hunkered down every time Americans are killed he would never leave the WH.

Hey Goober... Obama, like Biden was on his heels almost the entire time... His primary strategy in this debate was to challenge Romney's position on everything in an attempt to discredit his policies.
That strategy might have worked had it come from an incumbent that produced any form of positive tangible results, but seeing how Obama's present term has been anything but a success, he is in no position to question anyone else's ideas. Fact is, Obama can not point to any real accomplishments that he has engaged during his tenure and that goes a long way in explaining why his only strategy was to attack Romney.
Lastly, did you catch the comment Obama made when he used the word 'surplus' when talking economic policy?.. It was a quick comment, but the only reference that I can apply to using 'surplus' would be relative to the surplus debt that has accrued under his admin... 6 trillion worth and counting.
Hope and Change Goober... Hopefully that is exactly what the American electorate will pursue come election day
I might trust Jon Stewart as the last moderator.
Actually he did, got G.M. and Chrysler back on their feet, terminated Osama Bin Laden, got a healthcare plan underway, got the troops out of Iraq. Need I go on?
, record unemployment
, housing crisis
and record foreclosures
?.. I think that the original referee for the UFC fights would be best
Yes...
Any answers for Gitmo still being open
How about that debt crisis, eh? 6 trillion and counting.. Any answers to that?
...... Yeah - I thought not
I've said it before (about 15 times) Politicians have very little effect on the economy (it's not their job).
Maybe Gitmo isn't shut down but I just heard on the news the other day there is no one from the western world remaining there.
He still has four years to shut it down completely. I believe his promises were made for an 8 year time table. (Much to your chagrin)
Except when it comes to things like trade agreements, pipelines, taxes or the NEP, right?
Sorry JLM, but your belief that politicians have nothing to do with the economy is very mistaken... Just ask the American people about the 6 trillion that they have to pay back.
The rationalization of Obamatons is amazing at times......
Even in Canada....
No doubt about it, $6 Trillion sounds very formidable.
It's $2000 per American.
I'd bet the average American's home has increased in value by more than $2000 in the past 4 years. Perhaps the assets of the country have increased by $6 trillion in the past 4 years.
Was the entire $6 Trillion spent unrecoverable or was some of it put into assets.
The rationalization of Obamatons is amazing at times......
Even in Canada....
It is
$20,000... But considering that 50%+ of Americans don't pay Federal income taxes, it sure makes for one helluva debt for the minority that do pay taxes
That would be interesting indeed... I wonder if the avg American home has increased by $20,000 in value over the last 4 years?
