Obama Won on Key Points During the Debate

Last night was the second presidential debate and it was very interesting. The debate took place at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. The two presidential candidates were surrounded by a town-hall crowd. Some of the audience members asked the candidates questions about their policies and campaigns.

President Obama changed his strategy and came out on a much stronger note. The president's approach last night caught Governor Romney off guard. The mention of the auto bailout placed Romney on defense.

The topics ranged from equality between men and women in the workforce to gun laws. The most controversial statement of the night came during the discussion about the attack in Libya. Obama accused Romney of "playing politics" with the Benghazi incident. President Obama also admitted that he took full responsibility for the incident in Libya.

Romney did a substantial amount of interrupting the moderator and the president. He also continuously backtracked to topics that were no longer being discussed. However, Romney continued win the battle on the economy.

My source was Newsweek. The article was written by Brett O'Donnell and was published on October 17, 2012. This article was slightly bias. Obama was painted as the better candidate and there were less negative comments about him.
