Obama and Romney by Visnja

Oct 26, 2012.

The first debate did not go so well for president Obama, and the second seemed to be quite opposite. This week’s third, and final, debate left behind the taste of each candidate proving their ‘win’ form one of the previous two. And president Obama looked as if he accomplished that role much better than governor Romney.

In this third debate, president Obama was the one who was striking and governor Romney had to play the role of responding to those strikes.

However, the whole debate appeared to be more about the look both candidates are going to give to people. Their appearances of leaders of the country, rather than paying more attention on the issues they will be facing in next four years and the way of dealing with them.

The media looks at this last debate, as president Obama was standing firmly on the ground, was very confident, much more than the opponent governor Romney.

As much as it looks that president Obama dominated and apparently ‘won’ this debate, the final outcome of the elections is uncertain. Anything could happen in two weeks time from the debate.

Obama’s comeback!!!

Obama’s comeback!!!
President Obama accomplished Tuesday night: He was hitting hard, and he was hitting with facts. Obama certainly won the second presidential debate as clearly as he lost the first. He quoted Romney’s past statements that directly contradict what Romney is saying now. All evening, he was in Romney’s face. It’s not that Governor had an awful night but Obama’s performance was much better. But in the first debate, Obama’s passivity allowed Romney to interrupt, interject and generally control the all conversation. This time President Obama was very enthusiastic, determined, and self-confident. With his performance President Obama bring back his credibility. Americans will trust him again because he showed them his strength and ability to lead the country. Mitt Romney looked like a pretender. Everything that he was saying was to magnify and overdone. There were a few uncomfortable moments for Romney. For example, he didn't directly answer a young woman’s question about equal pay for equal work for women. And the question asked of Romney about how he would be different from President George W. Bush was not a shining moment. Responding to the final question, he said he cared for “100 percent of the American people.” He never should say that, because he invited Obama to give his best speech of the evening: “I believe Governor Romney is a good man. Loves his family, cares about his faith. But I also believe that when he said behind closed doors that 47 percent of the country considered themselves victims who refuse personal responsibility, think about who he was talking about. Folks on Social Security who've worked all their lives. Veterans who've sacrificed for this country. Students who are out there trying to hopefully advance their own dreams, but also this country’s dreams. Soldiers who are overseas fighting for us right now. People who are working hard every day, paying payroll tax, gas taxes, but don’t make enough income. And I want to fight for them.” I think this sentence is enough for Americans to realize that Mitt Romney is real pretender and that he won’t accomplish his promises because they are absurd. We will have to wait till Monday to see Romney’s strike back. ( by Ira Krstanovic) 

Biden vs. Ryan

On Thursday October 11th we could watch debate between Biden and Ryan.It was very interesting to hear proposals for internal and external political solutions. Biden was more aggressive but Ryan seemed to be more self-confident. He was very calm and he analyzed Obama’s decisions about Iran and Libya. He claims that Iran advanced in making nuclear bombs thanks to Obama’s bad politics. He was secure about every sentence just like class hustler is secure when he writes exams in school. He also criticizes Obama for his management of economy while Biden criticizes Romney’s solution for medical care. He doesn’t like Romney’s view of foreign policy. His tone was very aggressive but on the other side also defending. It seemed like he was attacking Ryan but basically in that way defending Obama. Biden also had some good arguments which he didn’t emphasize in the best way so it seemed a little bit insecure in his facts. Ryan’s approach was better so people who have watched the debate would definitely consider him as a winner.
