After the much-heated presidential debate last night, Mitt Romney appeared to steal the thunder from Barack Obama. Throughout the debate, Romney seemed more comfortable on stage, constantly on top of each point. On the other hand, Obama launched fewer attacks on Romney, as his approach was far less aggressive than Romney’s.
According to NPR, there are five big takeaways that Americans seem to agree on. First, Obama “looked tired and sounded defensive” throughout the debate, as Obama seemed to have trouble looking at Romney as he spoke, while Romney always had his eyes on Obama. Romney made it clear that he did not want to lay out anything other than broad principles during the campaign. Both candidates addressed the middle class throughout their points. When either candidate had the floor, they took advantage of talking until the very last second. Lastly, while Obama seemed quieter than Romney, it left citizens anticipating his behavior for the next debate.
With the social media having a lot to say about last nights debate, many people share different views. Although these debates are aimed at the entire country, they are more for that last five or six percent that has yet to make a final decision on who to vote for. Decisions will soon be made, with the election less than a month away.
