Bring manufacturing back to the USA by reducing profits... Too much corporate greed and shareholder dividend means cheap labour in China is attractive... Pay US workers a fair living wage, the corporation still makes a bundle... DID YOU KNOW: Only 5% of the retail price of consumer electronic goods is a manufacturing labour cost... How much does an iPhone 5 cost without a contract? Think about it.
We won't be fooled again!
face it you liberals...it's over!
Mitt is a JOKE TO USA AND WORLD. I was there in Europe when entire Europe laughed. He got crowned as "MITT THE TWIT". Just a plain idiot this Bain-capital guy.
Obama and free enterprise....an oxymoron, back that up with facts!
This moderator is definitely allowing the President to change the topics, without allowing Gov. Romney the same. Also, no tough follow up questions for the President...ex: Fast & Furious .
hope and change is now "smoke and mirrors"
The President won!
This is a very frustrating debate because it is very clear that Obama is being shown favoritism from the moderator= allowing him more time, agreeing with him at inappropriate times...and interupting Romney when he is attempting to rebut one of Obama's negative, inaccurate comments. Obama failed to answer to the question in regard to the terrorist attack in Lybia...not a surprise.
What a joke, this was setup for Obama. Four more years of Obama will destroy America. I own a small business and will be forced to lay off 26 percent of my work force if Obama is elected. I have told my employees if you want to keep your job, you better vote for Romney. Please dear Lord, God Bless America.
let's get americans back to work! support mitt romney!
Romney did not have his facts straight again...check the transcripts.
President Obama held Romney accountable and won the debate.
Obama/Biden 2012
Fantastic! Obama came hard and hit the republicans hard. Without a doubt, Obama won this debate. I'll give Romney the first debate, which was a very small win, whereas this debate (aswell as Biden's) was a knockout round.
#Team O-Biden
#2terms
I give the edge to Romney.
Every question asked Obama was responded with "Romney would do..."
Candy is not attempting to play by the rules. If the Presidents needs her help he is in big trouble.
Obama has win this debate this time WOW this was a awesome for Obama
For me, President Obama won the debate.
My own 10 year old son caught Robmey lies, Robmey said he spent his life in the private sector, not government. Uh, as my son said, "wasn't he a Governor"?
And Mitt got it handed to him.
Style and substance. With commanding presence.
While Mitt stuttered, got aggro, and didn't have a single specific....
Obama flat out pulled a Joe Biden on Willard.
Boom. Debate1 bounce evaporates.
Wow – neither of them answered the last question with a relevant answer...
Not sure why they are saying Obama won this...at best I thought it was tie, if not slight edge to Romney.
Divorce Obama?? Really... and what would we be getting.. a Bush knock off?????
i cannot wait unitil the day after the election.....alll the liberal news medai will be in mourning.....or obama will try a military siege of the government!
Barack Obama will be president!
Obama did not say Terrorist attack. Both Obama and Candy were wrong. Admit it!
