I agree, Romney gave a speech. He was not specific in his answer. HOw EXACTLY will he provide jobs in the future. Obama stated clearly and precisely his plan. Including building manufacturing jobs in this country (by betting on our american workers), & fixing our current tax breaks so that Americans can export & be apart of the foreign market more freely.

Romney is less presidential by how Romney seems to bring up the same issues over and over by each topic represented. He must really have nothing to say.

The cost of lowering rates by 20%, lowering estate taxes, helping corporations, that costs about $5 trillion. He also wants to push military spending another $2 trillion and Bush tax cuts to wealthy. That's another $1 trillion. When Romney is asked how he'll do it, he can't even elaborate on it. The fact that he's paying 14% when the people are paying much higher. It really doesn't add up...

I agree that Mitt Romney is spending a little too much time on attacking the president. Now, don't get me wrong it's a good tactic to a certain point. He should outlines his policies in DETAIL(after all the devil is in the details) , and possibly compare them to Obama and argue why they would be more effective.

Romney allows uses other countries to support his policy ideas but I find them rather irrelevant.

He uses these facts to support his idea on getting people more jobs but I just don't see this happening through his policies.

I think both President Obama and Romney are acting Presidential in this debate. Both are answering their questions with their policies. However, President Obama probably seems more Presidential because he relates each question answer to how it connects to several issues in the government, like jobs, families, and the economy. He also seems very serious for his answers and has specifics and facts to back up his answers.

Obama's clearly more presidential. He states his facts clearly: facts about Romney (e.g, cut planned parenthood funding), facts about his own current legislation (e.g, obamacare), and he uses facts about current problems (e.g, unemployment). He also seems much more relaxed than he did in the last debate, and I think he's delivering he responses more confidently than Romney is. Romney fails to really answer any question, and he never specifies HOW he plans to put into place all of his ideas for legislation as president.

I think so too. Obama is more presidential. His arguments are clear and to the point. He covers issues such as education, healthcare, taxes, and unemployment. He is definitely more relaxed than Romney. He is confident. He proposes ideas, mentions his achievements and deals with Romney's constant interruption. And most importantly, unlike Romney, he does not change his arguments every 5 minutes.

Governing a state is not the same as governing the nation. Just because Romney stated that his actions and policies works in Massachusetts does not mean that what he does will work for the nation.

Romney keeps mentioning 'his plan' but doesn't really say what this plan is, how it'll work, etc---again, he obviously cannot formulate good policy ideas, let alone formulate policy ideas better than those of Obama.

Obama seems to formulate better policy ideas. From the start of the debate, he addressed the questions asked about education, energy, and jobs. He continues with the policies he has about immigration and gun control. In the beginning Romney didn't state specific policies. He has his 5 point plan, but all his policies seem to mainly only focus on jobs.

Plus, Romney doesn't really talk about the needs of the middle class and how he's going to help them.

I think its because Romney is trying to appeal to the middle class, which is where he needs most of the votes. It's just a strategic tactic. But it doesn't seem very "presidential" because he is not trying to address the needs of ALL the people. He is just focused on one group of people, which is what a president should not do.

Obama seems more "presidential" when he was answering the question of trying to bring jobs back to America. He admits that some jobs can't come back. He's focused on the future and providing a clear solution. He wants to have people obtain better jobs, rather than focusing on the issues of the past. He is trying to fix an issue rather than attacking the opposing candidate.

Can't someone without religion care about 100% of people or is that something only Christians can do? Keep religion out of it people.

In the end i think Obama was more presidential, he learned from the last debate and came prepared.Not only did he call out romney on his fluctuating and contradicting ideas but he also clearly states his plans and how he intends to back them up in a calm collected manner while linking those ideas to other issues, whereas Romney keeps talking about what obama didnt do rather than what he will do and if he did he never mentions how he intends to enforce his plans

At first, I thought Romney started out pretty confident in himself. However, Obama seemed to be more collective and throughout the debate he stayed on point. He clearly stated his views on changing the economy (taxes), sexism, violence, saving energy, stabilizing jobs, and international relations. Romney strayed from the topics and didn't answer the questions.

Obama basically summed up what the campaign was mainly about. His devotion to create an idea for more jobs. He talked about he also talks about our economy has grown. Another thing, he also shows compassion for Romney's good intensions for the people. Obama also stood up 47% of American are victims that Romney didn't specify about. On this note, Obama seems way more presidental than Romney. It seems that he won this debate.

Yeah I agree, it was also really smart of him to wait until the very last part of the debate, so Romney couldn't twist it or turn it around. It seemed like he had planned out saying the 47% thing until the very end, which was a good strategy, and it also kept the two of them from just arguing about that the whole time.

i thought this was a much more aggressive and combative debate for president Obama and he expressed his ideas on policies such as immigration and Libya far more explicitly and factually . I also thought the 47% comment towards the end was a great add in. Romney rightfully so had an equal debate performance but definetly messed up on Libya and immigration. The president certainly appeared more presidential based on his attitude and aggressiveness this debate.

Overall, I think this debate has enforced a fear I have had about this election this whole time. Neither of these gentlemen are suitable to be president. Neither of them are presidential. The reason for this is I saw no compromise , no unity at ALL.There was no leadership,regardless of their policies. Does this country need more division? We need a president to UNIFY both parties to pass policies to get this nation back on track. It doesn't really matter what one thinks on one issue because there are probably not going to pass it any way because of the DIVISION. These debates are ideology fights, fights that I feel demonstrate (from both sides) a one policy fits all. Instead when they should be about on how to formulate a effective policy (elements and ideas from both parties). There was no flexibility at all. What this country needs is "Abraham Lincoln leadership", a leader who is really committed to getting everyone work together. Sadly I don't see either this important element in either candidate.

Obama gave more or less a presidential vibe because he debated strongly this time unlike his debate the first time. I liked how he linked women's equality in jobs to family because at the end, parents are working harder for their kids to go to school and to support them through most of their lives. I think it might be a positive shift if we raise the manufacturing back in America. However there is always the question of expenses and trying to lead the companies to hire american people. Obama formulated his policies a bit better Romney because he mostly uses statistics plus the help of his experiences of his family members. On the other hand, Romney still showed that he was in his game today, and still rudely interrupted the mediator. He stated that he wanted to keep the same tax rates for the "rich," but cut taxes in the middle class to balance our country's debt. To him this seems to create more jobs. I thought that his policies were mostly based on vague truths, and not expressing his plans clearly.

Both candidates worry too much about the others "flawed" plan. Additionally , change does not occur overnight, meaning that Obama couldn't possibly fix every single problem while he was in office. All he seems to do is , say well "this policy has not worked in the past 4-years).

It's hard again to really judge the debate because im skeptical about the accuracy. However overall i think Obama purposed a better policy in how he would provide more jobs. Which included creating more manufacturing jobs in America. One of the big problems over the years is that America has become too dependent on other countries and we have stopped being the sole suppliers for our own goods. He purposes jobs for the American people that could create jobs for the american people. Investing in cleaner fuel alternatives and energy. This is essential to human progress in general. We should be worried about our future beyond the next four years. Romney is just worried about the "now" but what about future generations? ....Also Obama nautally is a better speaker than Romney, his posture, his tone and overall attitude makes him a better "figure" for president. He looks like a better president. Romney is very aggressive & seems solely interested in a rebuttal against obama rather than the exact issues that should be addressed. He took time away from answering someones question to clear his name.
