Many controversial questions and remarks approached themselves this debate, including welfare, immigrants and President Obama’s presidency. Since when a question is asked and both debaters have the opportunity to speak their mind on the case. Maybe because Obama has had 4 years experience in the oval office and Romney has only had governor experience, Obama had better and more appropriate answers.
The welfare and immigration topic was all brought together into one question. In short, the question was just about how we are going to protect the border and how to protect our jobs from being taken away from people who aren’t even legal. Not in exact words, but for the most part Romney replied with keeping illegals out of our country. He wants all the americans with legal documentation or green cards to have the jobs and stay financially safe. Those who aren’t, need to go back to what country they came from. He says ANY person who has a legal document is welcome. Obama’s answer seemed a bit more welcoming. Mr. President said the same answer, but without allowing illegal immigrants. Obama seemed to shy away from that aspect of the question, but due to Obamas previous term, illegal immigration wasn’t the top priority. In a way its god but also bad. Immigration act shouldn’t be the main problem on a presidents mind in my opinion. There are thieves, murders and terrorists in our country and preventing someone from Mexico from working at the grocery shouldn’t be his main concern.
During the debate Mitt Romney threw out many stabs at President Obama and how bad his term was. The main issues were taxes, unemployment, gas prices and womens rights. Obama attack right after and made some great points. The fact that unemployment was already down when we went into office, the gas prices were a bit lower, but he’s working on that and thats he is trying his hardest on finding jobs for america. However, I think Obama’s strongest point was when we attack on the Osama Bin Laden point. The fact that Obama pulled soldiers out of unwanted areas and into Afghanistan here the real terrorist was and killed him was the biggest accomplishment. For that, I will vote Obama back into office.
A quote taken from Michael Vass, a Binghamton Political Buzz Examiner, explains the overall debate in a few sentences. A couple poitns that I didnt point, was said in this quote.
“Mitt Romney was more defensive. He emphasized the failures of the economy over the last 4 years, and attacked with critical questions that often went
unanswered by the President - such as the number of permits for oil/gas drilling that were cut. He also failed to detail specific answers, such as to how he
will protect deductions. The big misstep for Romney was when he tried to crush President Obama about his comments about the attack in Libya from the
Rose Garden - which moderator Candy Crowley confirmed in favor of President Obama.
Crowley for her part did well in generally limiting the run on of the candidates. She quickly and early on shut down”
Overall,
this 2nd presidential I feel was a great way to end it. Obama came back
strong with a win and Mitt Romney got what he deserved. I don’t feel
that that “Attack” mode strategy works in this situation. It makes Mitt
look bad and I believe that due to this Obama will be our president for
another 4 years.http://www.examiner.com/article/review-of-the-2nd-presidential-debate-of-2012
