I think the logic within Obama's argument about Romney's tax plan is spot on. I personally agree with him that he would not be able to not add to the deficit under the plan of cutting taxes while closing loopholes

He wants small. businesses to increase so that they can rise and bring more jobs to those that need them. All Obama is talking about is

While this may not be a topic that the moderator specifically asked about, it did come up a few times in both candidates' rambling "plans". Obama and Romney both agreed that they would like to KEEP college tuition costs low. I don't know about you guys, but none of the colleges I am applying to have a reasonably "low" tuition. You cannot KEEP something low if it is not low to begin with. Also, neither candidate addresses how they plan to execute the "low college tuition" plan. I dislike how they both make a statement, one that is of particular interest to me because it applies directly to me, and then fail to back it up with specifics.

I don't think that anyone really had a better argument in this debate. Mitt Romney is openly lying about his tax plan. Obama didn't conjure up that $5 trillion and $2 million numbers from his mind, he got it from what Romney kept saying. Tax cuts for the rich and no middle class tax cuts is a Republican stance, so it sounds like Romney's Democratic-like tax plan is just a way to win over the middle class people who are undecided. I don't think that Obama's argument was any better because it is no different from what has been being said for the last four years. No change has been made in 4 years and it is only natural for people to assume that that same plan will not be passed. I don't think that anyone really won this argument.

Im not convinced either way from this debate. I dont see the correlation Obama was trying to make with people going to college and making jobs from it since you cant graduate and have a job that doesnt exist for you. Romney wants to cut funding to programs like pbs and other art programs that dont impact the federal government much but provide support for many people nationwide, which i completely disapprove of. It would probably also help Romney's arguments at least a little if he stopped looking ridiculously smug at everything.

I feel that Romney was WAYY more prepared for this debate than Obama, because of how fast he has a response to what Obama's says, but again he fails to deliver on the topics and he is in a way really "beating around the bush ." he claims that his tax plans will benefit America, but if one would take the time out to look at the numbers he speaks of they are completely off. I also feel that Romney is so far spending way more time attacking Obama than he is attacking the questions brought up to him, for example he is constantly that in the past 4 years Obama hasn't done anything for such and such. when it is evident he has, and it is evident that when Obama was sworn in he was sworn into an economy that was on the brink of a depression. so 4 years really isn't enough to fix all of the economic issues america had prior to Obama becoming president.

He is SUPPORTING constant/not cutting funding for Medicare, however he wouldn't want it for himself or his family.

Morgan, it's like you took the words straight out of my mouth. THE only reason why he's this passionate about what he's saying is cause he's feeding off of the obama administration not fixing certain issues within four years but statistically the issues are not able to fix itself magically like the way Romney is trying to claim. Romney talks a good deal but honestly his plans do not coincide with each other. they are alll over the place.

One more thing. While Obama has not lived up to the promises he made 4 years ago (but let's get real, what politician ever does?), the issues America faces today are NOT his fault. Bush came before Obama, and most Americans can agree that a majority of our problems that we face today are due to his presidency. Bush was a Republican. Romney is a Republican. I am not trying to place blame on the Republican party as a whole, but the fact should not be ignored.

Both candidates may have a good tactic to tackle these issues but when either candidates get into office its another story. I agree with Princess..You can't fix the entire economic issues America had prior to Obama election.

Romney is clearly ridiculing Obama. He jumps on every chance he gets to make him seem like a fool and that makes him hard to trust. Obama is just standing back and letting the world see Romney's arrogance. They are both discrediting each other and I don't know how much I trust the things coming out of their mouths. Romney had a strong argument about repealing the Obamacare and it's a bad look on Obama because in four years he did not do what he promised. However, I do think it seems like Obama more genuinely cares about the people and wants to keep them healthy for less, like when he was talking about saving $600 on meds for old people. I can't really pick a winner.

I believe Romney is a better debater , but I don't trust him as much , since Obama kept referring to his " 5 trillion tax cut" and the fact he did say he would make the middle pay more higher taxes and this was just a " never mind " change in Romney statement in this debate. Meaning that I truly believe the fact that he will bury the Middle Working families that way. " America does Best when the Middle Class does Best"- Obama! I believe that the higher richer class can provide a little bit more , and Obama's plan to improve the Educational System to reform higher standards, more skilled teachers, and lowering tuition for our younger generation to be able to afford college, and bettering the usage of our resources.

I'm late on this topic but its because i tried to click delete and my computer went to my previous page and my response got deleted. I think Romney is right when he said that Obama Care will cause small businesses to stop employing because their going to have to take the money they earned and spend t on Obama Care. In 2010 Obama said that families will have 2500$ less to spend on health care and now they have to pay 2500$ more. Obama didn't make it any better. Earlier in the debate Romney talked about a personal experience where he met a man who own a electric company in St. Louis. That man had to pay 50% of his income because of the taxes put on Obama. He wants to raise taxes on small business that do well and that isn't a good idea because that will make the one-third population of Americans who work in small businesses become lower.

i think romney had a better debate because he had more facts for example increase small business because the middle class is the one that is most suffering, this will increase jobs, get rid of obama care because it kills the jobs for the people, and also education is really important and it is more of a state issue more than the federal government issue. On the other hand obama also agrees to spend money on education because he believes the kids that are learning now will carry on the future jobs. Obama makes a huge point on cutting down on deficit and increase the middle class tax from 36% to 40%, but romney belives that if you do that to the middle class there will be a decrease in economy growth because the middle class is what grows the economy and small businesses are the ones that bring in the most money for the economy.

For the education bit, Finland has the number one educational system..but that's because they don't have standardized tests. I say get rid of the tests..the education system here is horrible. Kids don't actually learn anymore. The curriculum is catered for testing..not for actual learning..like its supposed to be for.

Whoever wins it doesn't make a difference because America has a lot more issues including the economy. Both candidates had good reasonable tactics on tackling the issues. But, what Governor Romney failed to give any specific examples on these issues. However, I was a little disappointed on Obama because I thought he would come off strong but he is letting his worries get the best of him. With that being said, Lets wait on election day and see what happens.

Although most of Romneys policies were just about attacking Obama and criticizing everything he hasn't been able to achieve while president and not really backed up with sufficient evidence I felt that he was a lot more confident during the debate.

Romney needs to stop changing his plans and just stick to one already... Makes me not trust you at all ... You say one thing then say another.

I believe that both of them have good ideas, but Romney is definitely more fit to be president. I hope the winner is going to stick to what he says and make the country the way it was before the struggles came: strong and joyful. More jobs are a NECESSITY. also, I don't get what Romney said about schools getting graded since they already are being graded.. but okay. I think he was just running out of information to back his ideas up. They are both trying to look so impressive just to win, but this isn't a pageant where you give an impression to the world and then not do anything. The winner has to WORK. Also, Obama proposed that more TEACHERS should be hired to propose a better education, while Romney wants to cut the amount of teachers to save money. Obama cares about education much more than Romney does and believes that it is vital for every student to have an education, which is an exemplary idea. Schools and hospitals should NEVER be threatened with any cuts, The more teachers, the better the education system will be. They shouldn't be laid off because this will affect schools, classrooms, and the students' educations. Anything that has to do with education should never be touched. Such a topics as this and medicare/medicate/social security are very touchy topics that should be left alone. People should feel secure when going to the doctor and know that they will always have medicare/medicate to back them up. Anyway, this was a great debate with great facts. I can't surely make up my mind because both had positive and negative aspects about them, but I definitely feel stronger about Romney. Romney 2012 :) goodnight!

Both of the presidents want to have this image where they could solve the problems we face each and everyday in the united states of america. Neither one of them realizes what the u.s. is facing in reality . The problems we and the president see today are middle class people arent making the amount of money they should be making , taxes the citizens of americans , which mostly penalize the middle and poor classes of the united states of america. small business today are suffering because of the deficit we have in the U.S.today and prior to taxes . Mitt Romneys ideas have a stronger stance in the U.S. where he would be creating more jobs for the future.jobs are also a problem for several americans.

Wow..... I think Romney was more prepared and tried to show a more human side of him. However, the way he plans to bring back economic stability seem a little unrealistic but the way he exuded confidence wile presenting his ideas intimidated Obama.
