As far as I am concerned Romney blew it when he called his press conference in the middle of an unfolding international incident last month, and questioning his own country's competence in front of the world stage before all of the facts were in. That was a red flag that should be acknowledged and given due importance.
Economy is important but world peace issues have to come first....

How about an unfolding international incident -you mean the terrorist attack and murder of 4 Americans on 9/11 and the current president LIED and said it was a short film causing a riot.

Sorry Andrea405, but the President called it an act of terror in his speech in the Rose Garden. Read the transcript. Therefore, it is former Gov. Romney that "LIED".

In fact he did not specifically call it an act of terror. in his comments he stated that "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for." Subsequently, for 2 weeks, Obama and his surrogates continued to blame the movie.

If people would just drop their party line and read the quote, they would realize he was referring to Libya in his statement. The fact that people do not or cannot understand this is irrelevant.
Now where did I put those WMD's and my Binders Full of Women?

If you look at the overwhelming number of democrat's posting on facebook tonight it is quite apparent that president Obama cleaned Mr. Romney's clock tonight.

Hardly ... I gave him the "W" but he hardly cleaned anyone's clock/ What exactly would you expect the Dems to say after the first debate debacle?!?
I gave the President extra credit for staying interested and focused for 90 minutes! Amazing what losing a big campaign lead can do for one's attention span!

The bottom line...if you care about MAKING THE UNITED STATES A COMPETITIVE EDUCATIONAL POWERHOUSE WITHIN A GLOBAL ECONOMY....VOTE OBAMA & BIDEN IN 2012.....VOTE OBAMA & BIDEN 2012....VOTE OBAMA & BIDEN 2012....

You have to be kidding! Job growth - such as it is - during the Obama Administration barely kept up with normal, population-driven job growth. There was little-to-any additional employment growth!
CBS poll among Undecided Voters last night favored Mitt Romney 65%-34% as better for the Economy over President Obama.

w need to think outside the box. Who cares who won last night. What we do care about and what everyoneis agreeing upon is we need a change to theUS. Obama had 4 years to make such a change ans we know the next 4 year's if he's realected won't change all that much. Romney is a chance. That's what America is fighting for, for the chance to let people prosper. We know all about Obama, and I really think we should elect Romney and 'believe in America'

Romney is more of the same, just as Obama would be more of it. Voting for either one is voting for the status quo, and more of the same. Think outside the box? Yes, it's time. Vote for a third party candidate if you're truly serious about thinking outside the box, and truly want a chance for yourself, your children, and your country to prosper. Don't be so sure you'll be seeing any rainbows w the status quo - no pot of gold in sight w the same old, same old. Believing in America might just entail actually voting in a new era.

the people who were fired-up by Obama's performance are reacting simply to his swagger...they crave some "show-horse" performance and don't listen to or understand the substance.

The president looked presidential, and Mr. Romney looked just like a babbling fool.

Keep repeating that, and maybe you'll be able to convince yourself. Mitt Romney proved his presidential bona fides in the first debate. There is no going back on that, especially after last night's close debate.
I give the President a slight edge last night, but not nearly the TKO Romney scored in Round 1!

The office of President is an executive position. Obama is not an executive, he's a consensus-builder. he should have stayed in congress where people can hide forever without actually doing anything.

The Same Old Lying Act by Obummer and He was defiant to say what he really intents to do. He has done nothing to Help the Americans in 4 years. How in the World can he do anything now?. There Has to be a Change and Now. Give This Lying Kenyan his walking papers.

He is not a Kenyan. Any God fearing republican tea party hateful birther knows our president is a Martian invader who landed on our planet to destroy the earth.

@Peter - you stated above: "The office of President is an executive position. Obama is not an executive, he's a consensus-builder. he should have stayed in congress where people can hide forever without actually doing anything."
So you are validating that indeed the Republicans in Congress hide & do nothing. Good for you! Somebody finally told the truth!!! Peace.

@Peter - Don't the Republicans have the MAJORITY? That's a start as to why the *other stuff* didn't get done. Peace.
