Most Talked About Presidential Debate Comments

   No one will argue that last nights Presidential debate between Romney and Obama was contentious, if not downright vicious.

   Three comments were the most talked about, however, and very few people agreed
on who won or lost. (all depended on what cable channel you watch).

   There is no question that Romney seemed the aggressor on the economy. Whether the President inherited the problems or not, the last 4 years are on Obama's record.

   Romney repeated at least 3 times, "have you looked at your retirement?" to the President, seeming to try and say that Romney is not the only one to invest in foreign countries.

   On the other hand, Romney does not seem to understand women's issues and his "binder" statements made it clear that Obama is totally the candidate to stand up for women's rights.

   The one main blunder of the night was made about Lybia. Romney practically called the President a liar after Obama stated that his speech the very next day indicated it was a terrorist attack.

   In fact, Candy Crowley had to point out to Romney that he was wrong, that she had seen the transcript.  He didn't want to let that one go, apparently.

   Over all it was a great debate, and although some questions did not get directly answered, both men were aggressive and stood their ground.

   We did hear, however, that the first lady became verbally upset when Romney kept questioning President Obama about the attack in Lybia.

   It was fairly clear to most that the President won, although women have different issues than those  the men.

    We do have to remember that Mitt Romney is not a young man, and he did leave not long after the debate finished, seemingly exhausted.
