Round 2: Obama's comeback

Watching a good debate is more interesting than watching NBA finals or the Olympics... because the issues matter to the viewers. Whoever wins the next sports championship is not really your business unless you sell those T-shirts.

Now is the president an all powerful figure that can single-handedly bring the unemployment, deficit and gas price down? I don't think so. A lot more people need to cooperate. And alas we see what I call Clowngress not able to pass anything.

To make an informed decision as to who to vote for it is important to listen to the candidates to see if you agree or disagree with their approach of solving the problems for this nation.

Both candidates accuse each other of not telling the truth. Fact checkers indicate both are lying in one way or another. Yet, the political stage is not the courtroom. You don't need to put your hand over the Bible and take a oath to tell the truth.

I am glad that Obama appears much more prepared and determined. He really needs to do that to stay in the game. Romney also appeared confident mostly.

Who won? I'd say Obama won. Just slightly. But Romney won overwhelmingly last time.

Looking forward for round 3.
