I don't understand. Our deficit dropped 37% in 2013, and is now literally lower than when president Obama was first elected (which is amazing considering we weren't paying for two wars). Our gas prices have dropped from $4 to $2 precisely due to the reasons that President Obama suggested in this debate, and they're estimated to drop to $1.50 in the next 6 months. Our unemployment rate has dropped from an annual 9% in 2009 to an annual 6% in 2014, and is dropping at a rate quicker than this century has ever previously seen. Barack Obama has fulfilled his promises for his election, and has shown that the Affordable Health Care Act has been phenomenally successful to those lower and middle class Americans who could never receive healthcare due to the corporations who ignored them because there was no competition. Barack Obama came into this country when it was on the brink of depression, and has taken us away from the grips of depression. Romney honestly tried to play the mistakes of the Bush administration and past onto President Obama when he literally stepped into a failing country? The facts show that President Obama has done well for our country. I don't see how it's feasible to blame him for past mistakes, or to suggest that he hasn't done his job.
Jack Nelson "American Supremacy". Do you mean our empire? The one that makes us more powerful than every nation ever could be 10x over? We could cut our military budget in half and still be the most powerful country in the world, easily above Russia and China combined. We don't need to be supreme. We need to be relevant so that the world may borrow our techniques. The United States has an amazing government (albeit not perfect) and if we can be the most successful country in the world, then people are sure to replicate us. And of course the debt is high. If you actually somehow thought that our debt would go down during President Obama's administration, you're quite simply delusional. The deficit is the problem. The debt comes after.
It still has not caused illegals coming into this country to be reduced by ANY means. The laws have already been in place to punish those who hire illegals, but point of fact...if they want to reduce the number of illegals coming into this country, then they are going to have to start raising the minimum wage earning of the average or low income worker.
Wow, just wow. I love how all the good candidates have to compete against each other. Like you have McCain, then Romney, two great guys. And Obama, amazing president. And then TRUMP. tbh we just got unlucky. Imagine McCain or Romney as president right now...
This debate was a glaring example of liberal media bias. Obama blatantly lied at 1:12:00 when he claimed that the day after the Benghazi attack he stood in the Rose Garden and stated that it was an act of terror. Instead, the Obama administration claimed for nearly two weeks that the attack was a response to a RUclips video which had offended the people who led the attack. When Romney called him out on this, the moderator, Candy Crowley, jumped to Obama's defense and started arguing with Romney! Romney eventually gave up arguing the point. This debate is part of what led Republicans to support Trump in 2016 as Republican voters were sick and tired of weak Republican candidates who allowed themselves to be pushed around by biased moderators!
Obviously you yourself can hardly speak English. Why should I set aside specific words because one may not be able to understand their meanings. Last time I checked, we're using the Internet. Google is just a click away. ;)
***** If you're taking him as a "good example," you may want to find another "example." Your grammar is absolutely appalling, which is down right amusing since you're attempting to educate me on my usage of words and the English language, when you yourself, barely know how to form a complete sentence. Your usage of a comma is incorrect, so you may want to use Google for that one as well. You're literally sitting here telling that I should dumb myself down, that way other people who are on that level of "dumb" can understand me. If you're so threatened by my way of speaking, perhaps educate yourself, 'cause everyone knows what the word "bias" means. You bumbling fool.
I don't like Obama or Romney, but out of them, I'm glad Obama won. I don't know how to explain it, but I just get a certain feeling from Mitt Romney that I don't like.
+FunPheonix97 I think I kind of understand what you mean. Whenever I listen to Romney speak (especially about coal, oil, not removing God from the dollar bill, being a "severe conservative," etc.), he sounds like someone who panders almost shamelessly to the electorate in order to get elected. I know that all politicians, Obama included, pander to electorates. But most politicians, such as Obama and even McCain, sound more authentic. Romney is different though, because he has no scruples about overtly making lots of far-right statements when he needs the support of voters in the GOP primary and then sounding like a centrist when he needs to win the general election. As a result, one seriously wonders what Romney's beliefs are. I get the same reaction to Ted Cruz, who seems to make no secret of the fact that he is pandering to the social conservatives in the Republican party.
+TJ J Ok I get your concerns about an intrusive government who is captive to big business special interests and compromises civil liberties, but then you want to throw FunPhoenix into prison for no good reason. Aren't those two desires contradictory?
Look guys, there was a plan to establish a peaceful "new world order." It originated with Woodrow Wilson and was revived by FDR. But TJ J, your characterization of the NWO is largely incorrect. Sorry for saying this dude. The NWO was basically a plan to preserve western civilization. The western powers controlled these massive colonial empires in the 1940s, but they weren't sure if they could hang on. The USA was concerned about this too, because it assumed that if colonial peoples obtained their independence, the result would be chaos. So part of the NWO plan was to preserve colonial empires until colonial peoples were deemed ready for self-government. Another part was to back dictatorships and guide the political maturation of non-western peoples. And all this was done to protect the national security interests of the United States, prepare the rest of humanity for democracy in the unforeseeable future, and usher in a global economic order based upon free trade. So nothing sexy like a secret committee of elites running the world.
sooooo are we completely ignoring the fact that when President Obama was first elected that the republican party made it extremely hard for him to pass any laws that would have ended many of these issues???? He was meeting with congress with almost every week!
It is messed up, even more now than the last 6 years. this year will be the biggest year for veto's under Obama's presidency, Mark my words. Read this in a year from now and you'll see I'm right. Since the GOP controls both those branches, they're gonna try and rollback Obamacare, and the Cuba thing, and everything else that happens this year.
Mo Hazan I wish what you said would have come true. Sadly, our "Republicans" are working of Obama, so everything he wants, he gets. I'll be surprised if America survives until the end of his term..
You are wrong about gas prices. He is responsible for handing out permits to allow drilling on American soil and waters. If the POTUS does that, gas prices could go down $2 - $3 a gallons at the pump. Just take a look at Alaska.
For every item manufactured outside the US in China which is then EXPORTED from China from the companies who own the manufacturing facitilities and then IMPORTED into this country, the price is driven higher.

+GeminiBlount You think Romney's a racist just because he's a white conservative? How stupid are you? Such an ignorant insult that is used so often it's lost all of it's teeth.
VOTE Ron Paul He is the only candidate that actually knows where the root of the US problems are and wants to fix them. Don't let the Media control your vote
+Kwaku El Because Romney keeps going over time. Also one thing in debates is to not ask questions of your opponent. If you do that, then your opponent will seize upon the opportunity to answer them and you might not like the answer.
I'm not from the US. I live in Belgium & I followed the entire debate. The rude way that Gouverner Romney adresses to the questions of the people and the basic debate concerns me. At times I was wondering... "What the hell are you doing? Shouldn't you adress the questions instead of being opportunistic & returning to prev. question? Be a man & adress a debate in a decent fashion. That being said: 4 years to reverse decades of BS republican administration is 2 little. Ever heard of "inertia"?
+IlluminatedGame I'm watching in 2026. Obama is dictator for life and the gov kills everybody who criticizes him please stop him now before its too late i shouldnt be on here but i got through for just a couple seconds. oh and cananda sunk into the ocean if you want free democracy the last place is africa godspeed remember you can stop him now i have to go i hear army boots nearby im so scared. bye guys
better yet, change the laws governing how a parent uses SENSIBLE discipline tactics with their kids without the input from a child protective services personell knocking down your door for swatting your kid on the ass for bullying another kid, or calling the parent a foul name, or being totally disrespectful to the parent
Please let intelligence win over. Please let Obama win. Please, please, please, intelligent Americans! I'm Australian, an Atheist and a liberal and I am seriously worried about Romney winning the election.
I love when Governors and former Governors tout balancing their budgets when most Governors are explicitly obligated by their respective states' Constitutions to do so.
Obama is tedious when he talks about "investing" in education... like that woman's kids are going to graduate in 20 years... that's a bit long to wait for the economy to recover , based on their amazing college "education"... I'm working class currently, and Romney the rich guy is on the money when he says reducing taxes on business creates jobs.
I live in England, so it doesn't really matter to me who wins. But just by watching these first two debates, not having any pre-conceived ideas about them both, not really knowing anything about what they have done in the past... if I was an American I would vote for Obama.
Cole Powered In a United States that went from over 10% unemployment at the height of the Republican Caused great recession to 5.8% today.. From a country that had a Dow of less than 8000 when he took office to one over 18,000 today, I've been in a world where the U.S.A. went from having a GDP of NEGATIVE 5.4 %d growth to a POSITIVE 3.5% growth. I've been in a country where the deficit went from 9.8% of GDP to 2.8% of GDP, I went from a country where people were routinely denied care for pre-existing conditions to a country where that is illegal. I have been living in a country where the uninsured rate has dropped 35% and where people are no longer forced to stay in jobs they hate for health care. I live in a country where gay men and women don't have to lie to serve. I know where I've been. I've been living under one of the best Presidents in our countries history. Where have you been?
Based on these debates, it's hard to get a good idea of who to vote for. It's like they're just talking heads saying what we want to hear. I don't get any solid feeling of whether either candidate will follow through with their claims. To figure out who to vote for, I'll have to read up on their track records - what they have *actually* done in the past. Here they're mostly saying what they are going to do - how do I know they're telling the truth?
Zack Gibbs Did you know that most of the republicans (and economists) are actually in favor of controlled market? economists as well as heads of state from China, England, Scandinavia, Middle-East, Russia, Oceania are in favor of this. So why the hell are you such an asshat that you can't listen when the smart people are talking?
kaingates This was no surprise to me that Republicans are also anti-Austrian Economics. In fact, I didn't ever refer to either of the candidates in this debate, as this debate lacked Gary Johnson, one of the best Governors that America has ever had.
+Zack Gibbs The reason is simple. Big businesses hire lobbyists to insure that the government stays big and gets bigger. Why? Because these big businesses benefit from big government.
Lol I feel like there's almost as much of a fight between the candidates and the debate moderator than there is fighting between the candidates themselves.
***** Not to mention the fact that the deficit is down by a trillion dollars or 67% since 2009, over 16 million people have access to healthcare coverage who wouldn't have had that opportunity without the ACA, and the U.S. auto industry is thriving. The auto industry revamp saved 2.2 million jobs and created tens of thousands of additional jobs.
***** Citing the debt when Obama came into office with a $1.4t deficit disqualifies your entire argument. Secondly, the Constitution obligates the President to propose a budget, then the House Budget Committee drafts one, it goes up for a vote, is either passed or revised, and then the President has the opportunity to veto it. There are many factors that contribute to the deficit being reduced so drastically. One of those is the fact that we have had over seventy consecutive months of private sector job growth, which increases tax revenue. Doing away with some of the Bush Era tax cuts on the upper class is another. Admittedly, a good portion of it was a result of the sequester, but a majority of the reasons had to do with responsible fiscal policy that has created widespread growth in every sect of the economy.
***** All you people ever use as backing is conjecture from people who agree with you. Arbitrary editorials with an agenda don't do much for me. Also, that has nothing to do with what we were discussing, which is also strange.

God I'm going to miss Obama. He is a man of action and a man of class. He lifted this country out of the hole the Bush administration dug. I hope whoever is president after Trump is able to do the same thing.
Drew H. Wow, well you can't argue with someone who chooses to believe whatever they want, regardless of whether or not it is remotely grounded in reality. Let me know when you finish investigating the moon landing.
Very well tell us the definition of Socialism but be sure to include every single definition of socialism. Because socialism has alot of differnt meanings for instance obama is for the redistribution of wealth and that by one definition makes him a socialist
Going to school doesn't mean you can't act "illogically". It's a simple concept, you hae to OUTBOOM the debt so that you are producing more than you are spending and (at this rate) we will have todo so gradually rather than switching to mr Radical Bush 2. It is not only stupid and arrogant, as a person who 'goes to school and has a job' to vote for Romney, but it is ILLOGICAL.
"When you come out in 2014, I presume I'm gonna' be president. I'm gonna' make sure you get a job." Mitt Romney has such a good insight, right? He is still rich, and still could 'make sure Jeremy finds a job' , but Mitt suddenly doesn't care anymore.
Everything Romney predicted happened... ehh idk who would be a better president. Obama did not fulfill everything he said he would, not even a little bit; Romney is a good speaker, but something about him bothers the hell out of me. Politics is annoying
Obama can't just pass things as he sees fit, the house is split by two parties and nothing can get done. I know you are not downright saying that Obama hasn't done anything, but you have to understand that every time someone says that... it is ignorant because he just simply can't with the house the way it is.
Linda Obama is a Socialist, Romney is a Progressive. About the same end result, just one is slower than the other. Romney is a RINO (Republican in name only) and Obama is a Liberal Democrat. If we don't get an actual conservative in office this time around, I'm leaving this country, 'cause it's going to get pretty dark here.
***** We're living in what one would call the "real world," mate. Obama had nothing to do with gas prices. That's Saudi Arabia not cutting production, thus making prices go down, which in turn, makes us not rely on OUR OWN energy at home. The economy is garbage, that's why these burger flippers are begging for $15 an hour, and this "Government funded scholarships" is actually coming from everyone else. Remember, nothing is free when you accept it from the Federal Government, someone is paying for it. FYI, Obama has added more debt than every president before him combine. Funniest part is, he had a Democratic Congress for a majority of the time, if I recall correctly.
Sethy McSetherson Look! I found another person infected by trump 's cancerous virus! It's obvious that Clinton will bombard trump and win this election like a piece of cake! #Nevertrump #ClintonKaine2016 #ImWithHer #StrongerTogether
Russia isn't pulling strings for Trump. The Globalists, and the Democratic National Committee is pulling strings for Hillary Clinton. We still have no idea what is in her emails, or why she deleted classified information, which is a felony by the way. And what makes you think Russia is pulling strings? Donald Trump made a very obvious joke about Russia, and the emails, and apparently, some people were too stupid to understand it. The fact is, Trump has nothing to do with Russia. Then we have Debbie Watserman Shultz trying to rig the election against Bernie Sanders, which was proven through her emails, which were recently leaked. How wonder she resigned. Watch Hillary Clinton lying for 13 minutes.
Sethy McSetherson I'm going to be straight forward right now and be a gentleman. Both nominees suck without a doubt. I do not want to get into a teenage like pointless debate but that’s the honest truth. Both nominees has questionable and critical weaknesses. Not everyone is perfect but we ended up with terrible candidates. But I say that Hillary is the better alternative in my opinion. Your opinion is yours and mine is mine. But we will see. Now it's up to you if you're going to take this comment as a real gentlemen.
we get overtime for any athletic event, but presidential debates are given a timeframe with each candidate forced to rush questions. Just an observation...
I enjoy true debates where it appears that both candidates respect each other while making pertinent arguments. The only drawback -- the moderator. She is terrible!
Insipid42 Actually, neither are worth a damn. One's a pot smoking Communist, the other is a "sky god" preaching RINO. Romney would have been a better president, but he's still really bad.
I also hope that however wins the election changes the game completely for the better, but let's be realistic. Trump will not improve the game, he won't change the system. It is this system that made him wealthy and powerful - there is no reason for him to change it, unless he wants to change it into something that grants him even more power
I have watched 2 of these debates now, it seems to me that romney is making more sense. I'm not american so i'm completely neutral here, i don't care who wins.
My issue with Romney is highlighted perfectly in the responses to the first question. Mitt kept saying he knows how to do this and that but Barack came out and pinpointed the means by which these things will be achieved.
Its so easy and lazy to blame America's problems on one man, whether its Obama or Bush, but the problem is not with the individual or even the Republican or Democrat party, the problem is with the system. The First-past-the-post voting system that will always result in two dominating parties neither of which represent the desires of the people as CGP Grey recently explained in a series of videos. How is any progress to be made when the system favors the lack of progress.
Thank you! Investing in oil drilling and tracking and destroying our environment while we're at it has to be the most stupid way towards energy independence. We need renewable energy not oil which we'll never be fully independent from. That's what close-minded people don't understand, they don't understand the world is changing.
1:12:22 the moment when President won this debate (and probably the election). Beautiful camera work too! To all the foreigners fascinated by American democracy; we Americans, above all, go by the gut feeling to decide our President. At the above moment, Obama killed it...and take a look at Romney's face. Our democratic process, not perfect, but one of the best we have. No wonder the whole world pays attention.
G BRONCO I think foreigners watch the presedential deabtes for another reason. The US is one of the biggest economies on the planet, if they go down, everyone goes down with them. I think outsiders just hope that Americans don't pick the biggest idiot and most corrupt guy.
That "binders full of women" line was so bizarre. Stuff like this cost Romney the election. He appeared to be badly out of touch with the middle class's problems, and he didn't help his cause saying things like that and his 47% comments.
"Free loader", "i dont pay taxes". veteran from the US ARMY, 2 years supporting operation Enduring Freedom, i swore allegiance to the United States of America, i became a US Citizen from Mexico and i always have had respect for the commander in chief President Barack Obama; type of guy.
Of course Obama won, Romney said "I know what I need to do" Obama said "here's what we need to do:"
I'm glad this video came with free buffering, was afraid it was gonna play smoothly

You deserve more likes, Totally agree with ya
This was one of the better debates of that year
Yeah I know
Romney was right at 33:36. If re-elected, Obama would put us at $20 trillion for the national debt. Very prescient words.
Well, technically the debt surpassed $20 trillion under Trump, but yeah, Obama's economics were a setup for that
And Trump's deficits don't help
Actually that's wrong. Do a fact checker. Obama is the only one who lowered the national deficit. Before him, Clinton 💯
The deficit increased from 2.4% in the Fiscal Year 2015 to 3.2%. It wasn’t lowered.

+Kwaku El Because Romney keeps going over time. Also one thing in debates is to not ask questions of your opponent. If you do that, then your opponent will seize upon the opportunity to answer them and you might not like the answer.
I'm not from the US. I live in Belgium & I followed the entire debate. The rude way that Gouverner Romney adresses to the questions of the people and the basic debate concerns me. At times I was wondering... "What the hell are you doing? Shouldn't you adress the questions instead of being opportunistic & returning to prev. question? Be a man & adress a debate in a decent fashion. That being said: 4 years to reverse decades of BS republican administration is 2 little. Ever heard of "inertia"?
Who's watching in 2015?

+VeloxStang your pic says it all...
Keep in mind none them outlined any specifics of their plans and both told their own fair share of lies, well more like half truths and half lies.
1:39:56
fail handshake
you Sir just sweetened my day
better yet, change the laws governing how a parent uses SENSIBLE discipline tactics with their kids without the input from a child protective services personell knocking down your door for swatting your kid on the ass for bullying another kid, or calling the parent a foul name, or being totally disrespectful to the parent
why is the debate always about the middle classes. what about the working class
don't think you understand the words you're using
Are you talking about the lower class? Most people in America are the middle class
Kdogcentral5ables true but there is the lower class, working poor
Why are they wearing the wrong color of ties?
Please proceed Governor... (bury yourself!)
Please let intelligence win over. Please let Obama win. Please, please, please, intelligent Americans! I'm Australian, an Atheist and a liberal and I am seriously worried about Romney winning the election.
only the first 10 minutes, we can see Obama is on fire on the second debate.
The Man is listing what he has done in the past 4 years. George W Bush, what did you accomplish in 8 years? And Bush is BETTER than Romney
I love when Governors and former Governors tout balancing their budgets when most Governors are explicitly obligated by their respective states' Constitutions to do so.
Count how many times Obama says “AAAANNNDDDD”
We going to miss Obama!
+Carlos Acosta Good orator but poor Chief Executive.
+Carlos Acosta so are the middle eastern kids he killed
I'm not
no we are not Carlos
no
The full debate? awesome TDC!
I dont know how Romney lost he would have been a great president.
AMEN!
We would certainly be better position in this great country with Romney at the helm now.
cause he pays hardly any taxes
Because Obama is better
Jane Ryan lol how??!
Obama is tedious when he talks about "investing" in education... like that woman's kids are going to graduate in 20 years... that's a bit long to wait for the economy to recover , based on their amazing college "education"...
I'm working class currently, and Romney the rich guy is on the money when he says reducing taxes on business creates jobs.
Great stuff! High art!
I live in England, so it doesn't really matter to me who wins. But just by watching these first two debates, not having any pre-conceived ideas about them both, not really knowing anything about what they have done in the past... if I was an American I would vote for Obama.
Comming back to this video after 2 years.....Good thing Obama won.
Where you been the last 2 years? Where you been the last 6 actually?
Cole Powered In a United States that went from over 10% unemployment at the height of the Republican Caused great recession to 5.8% today.. From a country that had a Dow of less than 8000 when he took office to one over 18,000 today, I've been in a world where the U.S.A. went from having a GDP of NEGATIVE 5.4 %d growth to a POSITIVE 3.5% growth. I've been in a country where the deficit went from 9.8% of GDP to 2.8% of GDP, I went from a country where people were routinely denied care for pre-existing conditions to a country where that is illegal. I have been living in a country where the uninsured rate has dropped 35% and where people are no longer forced to stay in jobs they hate for health care. I live in a country where gay men and women don't have to lie to serve.
I know where I've been. I've been living under one of the best Presidents in our countries history. Where have you been?
Cole Powered Watching the rascality and infantile display of the GOP.
+Insipid42 The unemployment rate now is actually 5.0% now
+mrtuma123 Thanks, Obama! No, i mean it, THANKS OBAMA!
Based on these debates, it's hard to get a good idea of who to vote for. It's like they're just talking heads saying what we want to hear. I don't get any solid feeling of whether either candidate will follow through with their claims.
To figure out who to vote for, I'll have to read up on their track records - what they have *actually* done in the past. Here they're mostly saying what they are going to do - how do I know they're telling the truth?
Instead of expanding the damn government why don't you let the free market grow?
Zack Gibbs Did you know that most of the republicans (and economists) are actually in favor of controlled market? economists as well as heads of state from China, England, Scandinavia, Middle-East, Russia, Oceania are in favor of this. So why the hell are you such an asshat that you can't listen when the smart people are talking?
kaingates This was no surprise to me that Republicans are also anti-Austrian Economics. In fact, I didn't ever refer to either of the candidates in this debate, as this debate lacked Gary Johnson, one of the best Governors that America has ever had.
+Zack Gibbs The reason is simple. Big businesses hire lobbyists to insure that the government stays big and gets bigger. Why? Because these big businesses benefit from big government.
because every time the free market gets more power we get a depression
Lol I feel like there's almost as much of a fight between the candidates and the debate moderator than there is fighting between the candidates themselves.
Obama one hell of a confident man by the first word that comes out his mouth to the last word that comes out his mouth
he maybe confident, but he put us 20 trillion in debt, at this point it aint a popularity contest for him
Drew H. B.S. Right wing talking point!
@@drewh3452 at least he cares about the future of our planet huh
What has Obama done for the last four years?
Romney
1-1. Next debate determines who wins.
which part of this video does Obama say " Bin Laden is dead" ?
the unemployment rate is down to around 5 percent it was 8 at this time obama isnt doing bad after all
***** Not to mention the fact that the deficit is down by a trillion dollars or 67% since 2009, over 16 million people have access to healthcare coverage who wouldn't have had that opportunity without the ACA, and the U.S. auto industry is thriving. The auto industry revamp saved 2.2 million jobs and created tens of thousands of additional jobs.
***** Citing the debt when Obama came into office with a $1.4t deficit disqualifies your entire argument. Secondly, the Constitution obligates the President to propose a budget, then the House Budget Committee drafts one, it goes up for a vote, is either passed or revised, and then the President has the opportunity to veto it. There are many factors that contribute to the deficit being reduced so drastically. One of those is the fact that we have had over seventy consecutive months of private sector job growth, which increases tax revenue. Doing away with some of the Bush Era tax cuts on the upper class is another. Admittedly, a good portion of it was a result of the sequester, but a majority of the reasons had to do with responsible fiscal policy that has created widespread growth in every sect of the economy.

***** All you people ever use as backing is conjecture from people who agree with you. Arbitrary editorials with an agenda don't do much for me. Also, that has nothing to do with what we were discussing, which is also strange.
13:36, every "hippy", "tree hugger", environmentalist, and engineering chemist just slapped mitt Romney with their minds
the debate is really good and constructive.
WOW what a dignified stance on the debate.
dude the moderator called him romLEY
That Biden/ Paul Ryan Debate though Lol 😂 I had to watch it again after watching the first debate between Hillary and Trump lol 😂
Mitt should run again in 2020!
Yes.
Mitt is not strong enough to be president

Bring back obama
God I'm going to miss Obama. He is a man of action and a man of class. He lifted this country out of the hole the Bush administration dug. I hope whoever is president after Trump is able to do the same thing.
oh yeah, well i won't miss him, he didn't do nothing, but kill fake bin laden
Drew H. Wow, well you can't argue with someone who chooses to believe whatever they want, regardless of whether or not it is remotely grounded in reality. Let me know when you finish investigating the moon landing.
Very well tell us the definition of Socialism but be sure to include every single definition of socialism. Because socialism has alot of differnt meanings for instance obama is for the redistribution of wealth and that by one definition makes him a socialist
Romney wasnt able to disassociate himself from george w bush at around the 42 minute mark, and that hurt him badly.
Obama 2012 !!!!!
We need a president with a clear mind, who sees reality ...
Romney=Bush
...and then Barack Obama let Detroit go bankrupt
Going to school doesn't mean you can't act "illogically". It's a simple concept, you hae to OUTBOOM the debt so that you are producing more than you are spending and (at this rate) we will have todo so gradually rather than switching to mr Radical Bush 2. It is not only stupid and arrogant, as a person who 'goes to school and has a job' to vote for Romney, but it is ILLOGICAL.
Currently watching this to calm down after I was just traumatized by the 2nd Clinton/trump debate
Mattie Capre Lmfaooooooo
What a snowflake. Go back to your safe space.
Wait till you see the first Trump VS Biden debate 😂😂
"When you come out in 2014, I presume I'm gonna' be president. I'm gonna' make sure you get a job." Mitt Romney has such a good insight, right? He is still rich, and still could 'make sure Jeremy finds a job' , but Mitt suddenly doesn't care anymore.
Romney Blew him away!
John Calhoun I know!
She interupped Romney 29 times and only 9 times for the President !!
Everything Romney predicted happened... ehh idk who would be a better president. Obama did not fulfill everything he said he would, not even a little bit; Romney is a good speaker, but something about him bothers the hell out of me. Politics is annoying
Obama can't just pass things as he sees fit, the house is split by two parties and nothing can get done. I know you are not downright saying that Obama hasn't done anything, but you have to understand that every time someone says that... it is ignorant because he just simply can't with the house the way it is.
Same, I never felt comfortable about Romney. Even Obama for that matter, but I felt a little more comfortable about Obama over Romney.
Linda Obama is a Socialist, Romney is a Progressive. About the same end result, just one is slower than the other. Romney is a RINO (Republican in name only) and Obama is a Liberal Democrat. If we don't get an actual conservative in office this time around, I'm leaving this country, 'cause it's going to get pretty dark here.
***** We're living in what one would call the "real world," mate. Obama had nothing to do with gas prices. That's Saudi Arabia not cutting production, thus making prices go down, which in turn, makes us not rely on OUR OWN energy at home. The economy is garbage, that's why these burger flippers are begging for $15 an hour, and this "Government funded scholarships" is actually coming from everyone else. Remember, nothing is free when you accept it from the Federal Government, someone is paying for it. FYI, Obama has added more debt than every president before him combine. Funniest part is, he had a Democratic Congress for a majority of the time, if I recall correctly.
***** This is very true. He made the rest of us pay for Massachusetts' healthcare. In my opinion, not as bad as Obama, but he's still oh so sh****...
I love the smile on their faces when the other one is speaking.
I can't wait to see a trump and Clinton town hall that will be hilarious.
Oh my god. It's going to be intense! I can't even imagine how violent it's going to be. But Hillary will certainly win without a doubt.
Trump will slam Clinton. All she's got is lying about what Trump stands for to her supporters.
Sethy McSetherson Look! I found another person infected by trump 's cancerous virus! It's obvious that Clinton will bombard trump and win this election like a piece of cake! #Nevertrump #ClintonKaine2016 #ImWithHer #StrongerTogether
Russia isn't pulling strings for Trump. The Globalists, and the Democratic National Committee is pulling strings for Hillary Clinton. We still have no idea what is in her emails, or why she deleted classified information, which is a felony by the way. And what makes you think Russia is pulling strings? Donald Trump made a very obvious joke about Russia, and the emails, and apparently, some people were too stupid to understand it. The fact is, Trump has nothing to do with Russia. Then we have Debbie Watserman Shultz trying to rig the election against Bernie Sanders, which was proven through her emails, which were recently leaked. How wonder she resigned. Watch Hillary Clinton lying for 13 minutes.
Sethy McSetherson I'm going to be straight forward right now and be a gentleman. Both nominees suck without a doubt. I do not want to get into a teenage like pointless debate but that’s the honest truth. Both nominees has questionable and critical weaknesses. Not everyone is perfect but we ended up with terrible candidates. But I say that Hillary is the better alternative in my opinion. Your opinion is yours and mine is mine. But we will see. Now it's up to you if you're going to take this comment as a real gentlemen.
we get overtime for any athletic event, but presidential debates are given a timeframe with each candidate forced to rush questions. Just an observation...
14:20 Obama the great environmentalist !
That one person hard clapping at 1:40:37 lmao.
AT DISTANCE 2016.SINCE 2012 WE CAN SEE THAT OBAMA DONT DO THAT HE SAID. LISTEN TO THIS DEBATE AND NOW IT BY YOURSELF
+Alejandro Rios Right. My first thought was: this guy hasn't done jack sh*t
you are right, and all thanks to a republican congress. Did you vote republican?
m1ntana Obama is a horrible statesman.
Why is Romney sooooooooo rude it starts to get annoying
around and around and around......political merry go round.....
I enjoy true debates where it appears that both candidates respect each other while making pertinent arguments. The only drawback -- the moderator. She is terrible!
House of Cards brought me here. #FU2016
Love that show....
"When I was governor of Massachusetts I dindt get voted for President from my own state"
Boo hoo to the Romney autograph seekers. That signature will Never be worth the paper it's printed on!:-)
San47di Unless if it's on a check. :-)
Insipid42 LOL
San47di Mitt Romney is a good man.
boston598516 And Barack Obama is a great man.
Insipid42 Actually, neither are worth a damn. One's a pot smoking Communist, the other is a "sky god" preaching RINO. Romney would have been a better president, but he's still really bad.
After sort of a lack luster first debate, Obama schooled Romney in this one.
I hope my man donald will change this game completely. Smash crooked Cliton
I also hope that however wins the election changes the game completely for the better, but let's be realistic. Trump will not improve the game, he won't change the system. It is this system that made him wealthy and powerful - there is no reason for him to change it, unless he wants to change it into something that grants him even more power
I have watched 2 of these debates now, it seems to me that romney is making more sense. I'm not american so i'm completely neutral here, i don't care who wins.
lol this isn't funny
My issue with Romney is highlighted perfectly in the responses to the first question. Mitt kept saying he knows how to do this and that but Barack came out and pinpointed the means by which these things will be achieved.
Wish Romney was president.
Obama legacy gone thank god for Trump
Same here dude, I'm 17 going on 18 on October 30th, Thanks to Obama, my future is ruined...
Its so easy and lazy to blame America's problems on one man, whether its Obama or Bush, but the problem is not with the individual or even the Republican or Democrat party, the problem is with the system. The First-past-the-post voting system that will always result in two dominating parties neither of which represent the desires of the people as CGP Grey recently explained in a series of videos. How is any progress to be made when the system favors the lack of progress.
12:51 ”I was at... in coal country” Sounds legit
1:55, 3:36, 18:19, 22:00, 29:30
What
zzetc just pointed out a few fallacies I caught.
Thank you! Investing in oil drilling and tracking and destroying our environment while we're at it has to be the most stupid way towards energy independence. We need renewable energy not oil which we'll never be fully independent from. That's what close-minded people don't understand, they don't understand the world is changing.
why?
1:12:22 the moment when President won this debate (and probably the election). Beautiful camera work too!
To all the foreigners fascinated by American democracy; we Americans, above all, go by the gut feeling to decide our President. At the above moment, Obama killed it...and take a look at Romney's face. Our democratic process, not perfect, but one of the best we have. No wonder the whole world pays attention.
G BRONCO I think foreigners watch the presedential deabtes for another reason. The US is one of the biggest economies on the planet, if they go down, everyone goes down with them. I think outsiders just hope that Americans don't pick the biggest idiot and most corrupt guy.
+Rogdub Which they did.
Thank you.
That "binders full of women" line was so bizarre. Stuff like this cost Romney the election. He appeared to be badly out of touch with the middle class's problems, and he didn't help his cause saying things like that and his 47% comments.
"binders full of women" lmfao
"Free loader", "i dont pay taxes". veteran from the US ARMY, 2 years supporting operation Enduring Freedom, i swore allegiance to the United States of America, i became a US Citizen from Mexico and i always have had respect for the commander in chief President Barack Obama; type of guy.
