Well it's going to impress anyone when you go into detail discussing something you're familiar with..but not answering the question has got to count against him

He called me out... For the record, I am a Obama supporter. But no one can deny that Romney is sweeping the floor with him...

Yeah but the public is stupid. Most people probably don't even realize that he isn't answering the question

Respect goes a long way, Obama clearly understands this.

Both side will have shaky answers, I mean, they are both getting put on the spot. Obama is definitely doing a better job overall

"Shut your mouth..shut it...shut your mouth" reminds me of Romney battling the host. Still got my vote

as more and more people I know post their political opinions on facebook or any other social media outlet, i find that i am losing respect for more and more people at an exponential rate based on what they're supporting

But he's coming across as extremely confident, and Obama is wavering. All I'm saying is Obama needs to get his game up, he has plenty of ammunition, he just isn't using it.

I'm pretty sure explaining/defending their points is what really matters here...

Respect has nothing to do with it its called a debate for a reason.

pretty sure mitt started this current topic and then demanded to get the last word, after saying he got the last word because obama started on the first question.

i honestly feel like romney is kicking ass. and im not biased at all. i could not give a fuck about politics and i just learned that romney was republican a mere 2 minutes ago. i dont know but romney just seems like he is more reaching out to the people. there were some points where it seemed like he could have gone off into a "i have a dream" type of moment where everyone would just be like; shit that guy knows what he's talkin about. but then he would get cut off :(

As far as student loans go, if the gov really cared about educating young people they'd keep the interest on federal loans fixed at 4-5%

I'm a liberal but Romney is dominating this debate. Obama didn't do anything all that progressive/liberal these last four years so he really doesn't have much to run on, and although Mitt Romney's plans are even worse he at least has the balls to stand up for them and beat everyone over the head with them until some people agree.

The republicans are the party with no brains, and the democrats are the party with no balls.

This.

In an attempt to show how much he cares, he just overlooked an entire rung on the social ladder. Nice!
