Obama looks disappointed that Romney is agreeing with everything...

..ah an opening on Al-Queda.

Is he just saying to the people 'vote for me and I'll fix the economy, FP will stay the same'. By not coming out with any loony positions he's negating Obama's record as a reason to vote him in again.

He's making it all about the economy.
 
The biggest contrast between the two is that Obama actually comes across as someone who knows and believes what he's talking about. One doesn't get the impression that Romney actually believes what he's saying. He's just reading prepared talking points.
 
Being polite and reserved, and you'll get the reactions like Obama did after the first debate. Seems like he can't win.

It was just the way he described aircraft carriers and submarines, he could have been subtle and still cutting IMO.


That is not going to bother the electorate. I give you GW Bush, and rest my case.

True enough, and Romney can't even claim the influence of Cheney and Rumsfeld ;)

Even though an Obama victory should be the outcome here, how many people in America will actually have watched this for the duration and be affected by it? How any still thinking back ot the first debate?
 
You mean on China? he made some valid points actually.

Germany too has been particularly affected by the theft of intellectual property from China. Not an easy problem to tackle mind you.

I think that Romney genuinely believes and has some knowledge about Russia and China, the roubebeign they are peripheral FP topics at this moment.


Romney's plain wrong about green subsidies mind you, the market doesn't ahve the inclination to keep with the change required.
 
Some of their facial expressions are rather amusing.


What do people think of Schieffer tonight, too stand-offish as moderator?
 
Germany too has been particularly affected by the theft of intellectual property from China. Not an easy problem to tackle mind you.

90% of the industrial espionage in the US is committed by Chinese interests. The estimated directed costs to the US economy is $250+ billion a year, and the indirect costs and long term costs are probably many times that.
