Obama bagged it again

The debate was foreign pol. & Romney had to present himself as the top diplomat of the US & he did that with flying colors. When Romney was speaking, Obama cut in, & Romney hardly wavered & finished his statement. This is an essential skill needed in int'l talks. Romney pointed these interruptions by stating "personal attacks is not an agenda". When Obama spoke Romney again proved what diplomats cherish & that is to listen. Romney hardly interrupted Obama. One of the great points was that Romney made the bridge between being a nation with an effective foreign policy & a strong economy. Romney's closing speech was great. He looked at the camera & presented himself as one would at a job interview while Obama's closing speech was distracted by his hand gestures. Obama lost ground when Romney pinned him down on the US economy during the last 4 years & the connection of the economy and foreign policy. Romney deftly left out the Benghazi crisis which cannot be solved in a debate.

The 3rd debate is the least important one of the three. It was foreign policy. Americans are more worried about the economy and jobs. With Obama there is a chance for improvement for the middle classes. If Romney wins, its the rich who would benefit and the burden will fall on the middle classes. True , Obama won the this one, but he messed up the first one. Pity, he did score on the 2nd. But the one vice Presidential debate , VP Biden took contender Ryan to task like a teacher taking on a school boy and let him have with both barrels. Biden was the winner of that one.
