HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — The difference was clear: President Obama showed up for the debate Tuesday night, forceful, energetic, on the attack, prepared with zingers and sound bites, fighting for his political life. Mitt Romney often responded in kind.
Forcefully defending his health care plan and his economic policies, Obama left behind his listless Denver persona. He found a way to attack Romney in the midst of his responses, calling the former Massachusetts governor “extreme,” reprising Romney’s videotaped comment denigrating 47 percent of Americans as essentially income-tax freeloaders, and mocking him for providing budget-cutting specifics about such things as federal funding for PBS’s Big Bird and Planned Parenthood.

The moderator was plain awful, and had problems keeping the debate structure in place.....
Are we supposed to feel better about Obama that every time Romney was about to hit him Candy Crowley came to his rescue??!?!?! How many times did she BLATANTLY rescue Obama??!?!? If you think this makes me comfortable giving Obama four more years, you could not be more mistaken. This country needs a 'leader'!!
I don't think she blatantly rescued him. Folks need to adhere to the rules and the clock had run out.
