Obama and Romney clash in a Debate with Biting Exchanges 
By: Jim Rutenberg and Jeff Zenleny 

In The New York Times Newspaper they find it very interesting that Obama and Romney clashed in the 2nd debate. Jim and Jeff tell how Romney kept bringing the discussion back to the president record. Obama Has Brought Back a fighting spirit he didn't bring to their first meeting two weeks ago.

In the article it says " Following a shaky debate performance two weeks ago that edge in this pivotal last month of the race, Mr. Obama had promised to be more aggressive on Tuesday, and from his very first question he took a shot at Mr. Romney, over his opposition to the Detroit automobile bailout." this here shows that Obama can stick to the promises he's made so far. Mitt Romney kept throwing one thing up in Obama Face. In the article it says "Mr.Romney kept bringing the discussion back to the president's record, saying that the nation should not "have to settle" for continued unemployment around 8 percent. This here shows that they both came to prove a point to their candidates.

I think that president Obama has step up his game in the 2nd debate rather than the first one when he was very weak. i say this because he was more alert than ever he didn't stand a chance of letting Romney get the spotlight. I also think Romney took a good shot at trying to prove his point but I think Obama has what to take and going to be a good leader for another 4 years to the United States of America. Obama performance was very strong I think he did really keep his promise he made, which was being more aggressive in the 2 round I stand proud before a handsome black president who made it down in history. I think Obama makes a great president.

This remind me of a time when we had to vote for school president and vice president. The two stood before a big audience and gave their speech about what they were going to do to make our school a better and safe place. They were going neck to neck with very strong speeches to catch people attention so that they vote for them.

This article here helped me understand where both Obama and Romney were coming from. It helps me understand how hard it is to maintain president and how hard it is to get in the white house. It takes a lot of hard work and dedicated time. So it also helped me understand in order to be president you have to keep you word, have great effort, and really want it.

It makes me wonder if I would ever want to run for president of the United States of America. Would you want to run for president? Do you think you'll have the time and dedication? Do you think you can handle this mentally, physically and emotionally?  Staying up long nights, and taking rude feedback.

  1. Great post Jahneera. Do you think that it is good that they were so combative in the debate? Or would it have been better if they could talk to each other more civilly? 100
