Presidential Debate - Round 2

President Obama did better this time but I give the edge to governor Romney. He had a command of the facts, explained his plan in as much detail as can be expected in a debate, was compassionate and really connected with the audience. Obama came across as confident and scored some points connecting with the audience, though not as many as Romney, but he just couldn't stand on the failed policies of the last four years.

Mitt Romney got the first question and other than the final question I believe it was the strongest. Jeremy Epstein asked the following question: "Mr. President, Governor Romney, as a 20-year-old college student, all I hear from professors, neighbors and others is that when I graduate, I will have little chance to get employment. What can you say to reassure me, but more importantly my parents, that I will be able to sufficiently support myself after I graduate?"

Governor Romney responded with compassion and shared a similar situation that showed he understands the problem.

Candy Crowley from CNN was the moderator. Her bias was not apparent at first but it didn't take long for it to show up. She continuously interrupted Romney and helped Obama out several times. The biggest was when Obama claimed that he called the Benghazi attacks in Libya and "act of terror" the next day in the Rose Garden. Mitt Romney said that was not true. Candy interjected, "He did call it an act of terror." Here's a piece of the transcript from the Fox News web site:

ROMNEY: I want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror.

OBAMA: Get the transcript.

CROWLEY: It -- it -- it -- he did in fact, sir. So let me -- let me call it an act of terror...

OBAMA: Can you say that a little louder, Candy?

CROWLEY: He -- he did call it an act of terror. After the debate CNN's Anderson Cooper said that Candy and Obama were wrong. Candy has since admitted that she was wrong about that. Media bias will not stop the fact that Mitt Romney will be our next president. He will do such a great job that he will win reelection in a landslide similar to Reagan in 1984.

One line that I thought was funny was when Obama said, "When I was president." Oh Mr. President how we hope and pray that your pledge to make this "a one-term proposition" will come true.

Make sure you get out and vote. This is the most historic election in my lifetime and could change the course of America forever.
