Obama vs. Romney
President Obama and Governor Romney will engage in another debate tonight from 8:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Most people agreed that Romney won the first debate, so President Obama will likely be very energetic tonight. For this assignment, I would like you to watch the debate and write a post to this blog. After you write your own post, please reply to THREE other posts. Please remember to keep your posts appropriate! Arguing is fine, but please remember to attack the person's argument, not the person! Here are some questions to get you thinking:
- How does this debate compare to the last one?
- Who is doing a better job answering questions? Who's winning? Why?
- What did you think of the questions? Did the citizens do a good job?

DeleteI agree with you.
Deletei agree with you
DeleteDid she just say Romley?
ReplyDeleteI just asked that
DeleteOff the bat this debate is going smoother then the last one.
ReplyDeleteYea i agree.
DeleteYhea last time the moderator did nothing and they were arguing alot.
DeleteTotally. Way smoother.
Deleteyup
Deletewow different set up,different moderator probably a better one,and they switched tie colors,i like it.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that too.
Deletewooooooooow O_O romneys a....instagator
ReplyDeletei like how obama is tell us about how he wants to use money to go to school and bridges and his plans are great and i side with obama beacause he wants to use his money on us and other stuff that will help us get from place to place
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteYeah that's true because hes saying specifically what he wants to do and he's helping with education.
DeleteWhy don't we all play by the same rules? We're all equal.
ReplyDeleteWow, Obama is just like "romney's wrong". It was funny.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it was funny! haha
DeleteI like how Obama is better explaining his idea instead of just stating it.
ReplyDeletei agree
Deleteexactly
DeleteI agree
DeleteMe too
DeleteI agree
DeleteGot a new moderator, seems way better than last weeks.
ReplyDeleteYes. This moderator has more control it seems like.
DeleteYes she does.
DeleteThey traded ties hahaa
ReplyDeleteHaha. Yeah.
DeleteI'm already agreeing with Romney
ReplyDeleteSame.
DeleteI don't agree with you. But I can sort of understand where you are coming from.
DeleteI like how they can walk around.
ReplyDeleteI know haha
DeleteHe's saying what he wants to do, but probably won't end up doing it. He's probably just saying all of it for the votes.
ReplyDeletebtw hi everyone js
ReplyDeleteI agree, one of the greatest things we can do is take control of our energy source. Oil is great but we need to seek a new source of energy.
ReplyDeleteExactly he's thibking ahead & thats what a president is supposed to do.

ReplyDeleteRomney hardly ever explains himself! Obama is actually telling us what he wants to do and how he's going to go through with it.
ReplyDeleteThat why I like Obama. He fully explains himself. Romney seems like he's hiding something all the time.
DeleteExactly!
Deleteexactly, Romney is just telling us what we want to hear! Obama is actually explaining how..
DeleteI agree with Hall. You can kind of tell he's unsure of himself.
DeleteObama's idea about the economic future is really good.
ReplyDeletethis moderator does seem better than the last one
ReplyDeleteObama seems waaaaay more reaxed, I think Romney is just telling us what we want to hear...
ReplyDeleteYeah and he's not being thorough with his ideas,like others have said. He's just stating everything he wants to do.
DeleteYeah I agree.
DeleteAt least this time Obama is a little bit more energetic.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he's staring to get mad! haha.
DeleteIn this one they are getting timed for answering questions.
ReplyDeleteMost of the things they both say that their going to do, it won't really happen. I mean they might try but also might fail.
ReplyDeleteIt might, just like Obama said he was going to do so much stuff to help us but he didnt the last four years. So, it might happen but might not.
DeleteExactly what I was thinking..
DeleteThey both are telling us what we want to hear.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to politics.
DeleteI like this set up better. I think people can understand what each one is saying better because she is giving them each times to speak. They arnt arguing as much as the other debate yet which i like better. I think that after this debate the people who arnt sure who to vote for yet wil deffinitly know.
ReplyDeleteObama expects that energy to ba made here in the US , but yet how does he figure that will give us jobs if the US is in debt ?
ReplyDeleteI like how their talking to these people on the stand but not notice or talk to everyone else.
ReplyDeletehi evan and yea i agree
DeleteI really like Obama's plans, and how he had said the flaws of Romney's plan. I like that, and how he explained his plans.

ReplyDeleteHow are they going to bring a pipeline from Canada?
ReplyDeletei really don't know good question
DeleteObama seems more into to it than the last time.He is talking a lot more.
ReplyDeleteI think its because he is scared he is going to lose, ha.
Deletewell we are running out of coal and oil so Romney is wrong
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteIm pretty sure we are not running out of coal but definitely oil.
DeleteObamas just saying the things we want to hear, but won't actually do it.
ReplyDeleteI agree he just saying that to get more votes.
DeleteI totally agree with you!
DeleteThat is the truthm, I agree
DeleteNo. He's saying that because he has learned from his mistakes and wants to fix the problem. If anyone is saying something just to get votes, it's Romney.
DeleteI agree with Mary
DeleteRomney was trying to blame the president for doing wrong just because of the pipe line? He obviously did it for a good reason. He is explaining how Romney is wrong, which is true. Romney doesn't know what he's talking about.
ReplyDeletei agree
DeleteI agree
DeleteI agree
DeleteI can tell that obama is really stepping up his game tonight.
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteI like this debate better so far because they have to answer questions from the people in the crowd.
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteI agree, one of the greatest things we have is oil but we have to take control of our energy source. Oil is great but we need to seek a new source of green energy!!!!!11.
ReplyDeleteYou got a point there
DeleteI agree with you because soon we are going to run out of oil and then what are we going to use.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletewhat if they started fist fighting! hahaah
DeleteThey changed the person who asks the questions to the Candidates and they're attacking each other more.
ReplyDeleteYea very true Tre.
DeleteArguing... lol.
ReplyDeleteRomney is more relaxed this time and Obama is more energetic and active in the questions.
ReplyDeleteWhich might put Romney in sake.
DeleteRomney and Obama are finally interrupting each other
ReplyDeleteThose are the best parts. haha.
Delete"Not true Romney" lol made my night
ReplyDeleteObama just took over Romney right there.
ReplyDeleteObama seems way more confident than the last one
ReplyDeleteYea i agree
DeleteYes, he does.
DeleteYeah i agree, alot!
DeleteObama looks like he wants to just keep saying that Romney is wrong! haha.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Hahah
DeleteThey are arguing now..
ReplyDeleteThere really getting at each other heads
Deleteha hey everybody and PBelgrad yeah i think the same thing
ReplyDeleteThere getting un each other heads
ReplyDeleteagreed. they are just calling each other out.
DeleteOOH SNAPPP DID U SEE THAT OBAMA WAS INTURUPTING AND ROMNEY PUT HIM IN HIS PLACE #TEAMROMNEY
ReplyDeleteI here you man, but Romney's trying to use our oil and coal.
DeleteGO TEAM ROMNEY!!
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteHahaa Obama's ready to argue back this time lol
ReplyDeleteComparing the debates it's more calm than the last one, but i can tell Obama is more defensive than the last debate.
ReplyDeleteI agree, he's being way more confident.
DeleteThey never listen to the moderator, they just continue arguing.
ReplyDeleteYes that's so true. It's like they don't even care that the moderator is there, but this moderator is doing a little better than the other one on trying to get them on to the next question.
DeleteI know right.
DeleteI don't think I've ever been this interested in politics before.
ReplyDeleteI agree, haha watching this is so interesting.
Deletei feel the same i never thought it would be intersting.
Deletei like how they are actually talking and looking at each other.
ReplyDeleteObama is doing wsy better in this debate, he acually knows what he's going to say. Romney has good comebacks though.. They're both saying the exact opposite things though, haha.
ReplyDeletei knoww! hahah.
DeleteObama was right on that. when Bush left he knew that the economy was going to take a fall. Obama can only dig us out of the hole he couldn't stop it because it was already done.
ReplyDeleteyes I agree Obama is trying his hardest
DeleteYES that is exactly what my mom said and I agree.
DeleteROMNEY IS GETTING SNIPPY!!!
ReplyDeleteman you said it
Deleteim cracking up LOL romney's arguing like crazy lol aha i love it
ReplyDeletealpaca buddy:)
Deletealpaca 1 i see u
Deleteha actually actually actually he gets the first ? so i get the last wow this is funny
ReplyDeleteReally funny
DeleteMan is Obama energetic tonight.
ReplyDeleteObama probably interrupts Romney more because in the last debate Romney kept interrupting him.
ReplyDeleteObama's feeling the pressure to step it up because he didn't do anything last time, he let Romney take the floor the whole time!
DeleteObama is doing what Romney did to him last time.. I knew that Obama wasn't giving up!!
DeleteDid you see how Romney was saying stuff and Obama was like interupting and was like no it wasnt no it wasnt. #TEAMOBAMA
ReplyDeleteNo offense but I think the only thing Obama did as president was enjoy his "rock star status" :)
DeleteObama wants to have immigrants just as equal as us and I don't agree with that. These people will the take the jobs us Americans need. Long story short I'm not team Obama :) haha
DeleteWho knew the first person from the crowd to ask Obama or Romney what their favorite pizza topping is gets free pizza from Pizza Hut for a year?
ReplyDeleteI did
DeleteI'm finding it kinda funny how they are cutting each other off... but anyways I agree with romney on the tax part because he wants to cut taxes for everyone, not just making it higher or lower for people.
ReplyDeleteI agree.. Obama is just saying what we want to hear. But he won't actually do it... thats what happend four years ago.
DeleteThis debate is just them telling each other how they both lie. Politics is lying followed by more lies. They're both wrong but I feel Romney is more genuine.
ReplyDeleteI think Romney would actually try harder to make his promises or statements true because he knew what happened the last 4 years
DeleteTrue you don't know what their really going to do until they get into office.
DeleteRomney is really forceful about getting his turn
ReplyDeleteikr
Deletehe sure is getting forceful
DeleteRight!?
Deleteagreed
Deletehe is! i realized that now.
DeleteI do realize Romney is supposed to cut Obama off but hes being a little bit rude by cutting the narrator off to!
ReplyDeletei noticed that too
DeleteHow come they always talk about middle class people
ReplyDeleteIt is the class with the most people in it i think..
DeleteI think it's because there are a lot more middle class families than there are lower class and higher class families.
Deletebecause mid class have harder times than upper class
DeleteBecause a large percent of Americans are middle class.
DeleteI think it's because the middle class is like the people that make the country what it is today.
DeleteI dont know for sure but maybe because most people are middle class.
DeleteI think they should lower taxes for the less wealthy but rise the taxes slightly for the more wealthy only because if you lower taxes then the government will get less money than what they need to boost the economy and make it better.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteRomney keeps acting like America got worse just because Obama was president? He keeps on saying "Unlike the last 4 years I will..." like, no. Obama will most likely fix the taxes. Honestly, Romney just needs to understand that it woldn't be fair to people with less money.
ReplyDeletethey always talk about the middle class people because it makes up the voting base.
ReplyDeleteThey're both trying harder this time because people from a town or city is asking the questions.
ReplyDeleteTrue last time they were just getting asked questions from the moderator.
Delete20 minutes in and im already saying obama all the way. Waaaaaaay better than the last debate! Maybe ill be changing my mind but obama is looking more towards the future and romney is just looking at right now.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
Deletei with gina Obama all the way.
DeleteEither way they're both lying..
ReplyDeletetax credit=our college
ReplyDelete#TEAMOBAMA
i agree with obama that richer people should pay abit more then people who make less
ReplyDelete
