The presidential debate was full of loud words by both President Obama and Mitt Romney on Tuesday. Both leaders debated with each other against each others’ agendas. They dragged back the previous incidents and discussed hugely about their stances and dedications. Their short comings were also highlighted which turned the debate into a loud argument.
Moderator Candy Crowley of CNN who called both leaders on his show said that President Obama and Mitt Romney were in great difficulty as they both were quite eager to discuss their own agendas and lift up allegations.The moderator had to stick to the format of the show, but both of the leaders kept talking regardless of the time limits. After time was up for them to say anything further, both still didn’t end their respective speeches or debates.
In the second session of the debate, both were more prepared and easy-going. This debate focused on questions from the audience, and the topics were discussed in depth. The topics which engaged much time were immigration, women’s issues, gun control and foreign policy.
One of the issues of the major clash between President Obama and Mitt Romney was the Sept. 11 attack which killed American ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi. Mitt Romney accused the Obama administration once more for not being ready against the attack made on the U.S. officials. Romney believed that there were many hints circulating about the future attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, but the Obama administration took it in an easy way and have felt the consequences. Romney stressed on this.
The debate’s first questioner, a college student who will graduate soon, asked Romney how he would ensure that she could get a job and pay off student loans.
“We have to make it easier for kids to afford college and, once they graduate from college, to get a job,” Romney continued, coming down off his stool in the town-hall setting of the debate,“What’s happened over the last four years has been very, very hard for America’s young people.” But Obama, while agreeing that improving higher education is essential for the nation’s economic future, noted pointedly that he wants to create manufacturing jobs like those in the auto industry that he helped preserve with a federal bailout that Romney opposed.

“A sketchy deal” was said by Obama to Romney about his lack of specificity and Obama further said, “the math that doesn’t add up” Obama pointed out the fact that Romney, who earns millions of dollars himself, pays lower income tax. He said Romney pays tax like a middle income man, which is unacceptable.
“Well, of course they add up,” Romney retorted, citing his successful business career and the budgets he balanced as Massachusetts governor. “When we’re talking about math that doesn’t add up, how about $4 trillion of deficits over the last four years, $5 trillion? That’s math that doesn’t add up.” (WP Obama hits Romney 17)
