    Well intended sentiments may be similar, but not in the big well rounded picture for the future & the path in the direction of the last 4 years. The challenger is more genuine with his goal than the incumbent's promises with the challenger actually balanced budget's in various occupations, & work across aisle to get both parties to work together, while the incumbent hasn't, signing sequestration as solutions to keep spending.

    The challenger (we/us, america liberates) clearly understand how the world works & turns unlike Biden Jr. (I/me, went to museum) who seemed like a robot taking on the persona of Biden Sr. demeanor, but having not been vetted properly 4 years ago this is all he has to score some points with. Surrounding oneself with celebrities, house parties, dinner, & concert will not improve any body's intelligence.

    I agree with the challenger that in order to be influential to the world the U.S. needs to be strong domestically from a strong economy that can support a strong military. This is why China is building Ships, Carriers & Aircraft for being the 2nd largest economy & largest manufacturer in the world. The challenger understood that we need a partner with China, but it shouldn't be under unequal footing & not in China's interest to export less to U.S.

    I agree that foreign aid must be used wisely & responsibly to move about change not as a blind thrust hopping for change but instead put the very group or Ideologue that seeks to dominate, subjugate, & destroy in power, destroying the old civil infrastructure replacing it with a chaotic, undisciplined thugs with criminals, & corrupt infrastructure.

    Personally I don't think Anybody should be involve at all. Foreign aid shouldn't be used as a blind trust or tributary (bribe, ransom, or pay extortion). If they over threw their old regime on their own & wish to destroy & subjugate others then one must react when they attack. By aiding them overthrow old regime will not improve anything with the chicken coming home to roost laughing.

    A week ago, incumbent with his defensive attacking talking points over 2 or 4 years just simply got more aggressive with no new ideas, solutions, & rebuttal. Still the incumbent hasn't passed a budget ((D) controll of house & senate on 09-11) since entering office, and still spending & borrowing at twice the rate of his predecessor. Devaluing the dollar (pay cut) further as the feds prints (Quantitative Easing) & buy back what they can't sell to international countries is nothing more than money laundering. More borrowing & spending wont cut the deficit, just as it didn't cut the 9 trillion deficit to 4.5 trillion deficit & ended up with 17 trillion deficit instead. Australia's dollar use to be worth half that of the U.S. now ist worth more & probably 5 - 10 times more if the incumbent gets re-elected.

    The incumbent tauts 4.5 Million jobs created but fails to mention 4.3 Million jobs lost 4.5 million added minus 4.3 million lost is only 200k NOT 4.5 million. There's been no surge in the past month for new start up, chains, mom & pops business, & expansion in existing industries, textile, manufacturing, retail, struggling USPO, refineries, educations, transportation, even finance & many other struggling along with a number of bankrupt cities such as stockton, prichard, & san bernandino.

    The incumbent's ideas in job creation amounts to loan guarantees, waivers, tax exemptions, tax credits, & loop holes, Solyndra, Abound Solar, Solar Power, GE paid 0 taxes who outsourced more than half of its labor force to China & India, Unions, Boundlers, MF Global, Fisker, GM who got bailed out 3 times in the course of 6 months till undergoing structured bankruptcy with bonuses to change its costly habits, got 45.5 Billion tax credits, closed down hundreds of dealerships, boost productions in foreign (china/russia) GM plants (outsourcing ring a bell?) to be imported by the U.S.

    You can bet they won't get a tax increase if incumbent gets re-elected.

    The only thing the incumbent understand about economics is when you borrow money, the more money you can spend & since government can print money legally why not keep printing to fund his runaway spending. Its like a friend borrowing money from everyone close to them by faking cancer to go on a world tour or a lavish wedding. Its not about making money through trade, materials, goods, manufacturing, entertainment, or service, but making money by exhausting every ones money.

    I thought it was a draw. Mainly because I thought Obama's interrupting was obnoxious and he was wrong about the Navy. Further, he didn't actually have a plan beyond fixing education which is mostly decided by states and simply funded some by feds. While I thought Romney wasn't aggressive enough. I didn't actually hear any plans on either side but Romeny's 5 point plan that we always hear about. Obama seemed more interested in talking about Romney's personality faults then foreign policy.

    I do not know why any one is surprised by way of this. Mccain behaved the same means for the period of the republican most important debates. All he did was once make snarky little feedback at mitt romney and mike huckabee (his biggest challengers) and not ever really articulated his possess positions. Which was once very disappointing for me. I had a good amount of appreciate for mccain and expected a lot more from him. I suppose the real mccain is starting to exhibit by way of.

    Candidate Obama at least broke even. That's one battle with two weeks left. President Obama will still defeat him.

    Because people now know Candidate Obama of 2008 and 2012 still gets you President Obama. An entirely different person.

    Please tell us Mr. Obama's plan for the US. Spend more money, put us in more debt, destroy success, what is his agenda? Tell me one of his ideas to move us "Forward." I believe Romney had a plan. He wanted to come in and look Presidential. He did. He wanted to look competent. He did. He wanted to be depicted as someone who was aware of foreign policy. He did. Obama looked like the challenger, and all he did was attack andlook unpresidential. Romney won because hepassed the test. "Attacking me is not a policy."

    Romney was more presidential, it was odd for Obama to act so unpresidential. I have yet to see a plan from Obama or an idea.

    Obama came off as a desperate man i felt sorry for him myself, or more accurately sorry for The Office he currently holds.

    If you mean who told more lies, who was the rudest, who yelled the loudest, who interrupted the most, who was the most petulent, who was the most childish, then Obama won. If you mean who stated his plans and beliefs respectfully and firmly then Romney was the winner.
