First of all, the fact that women's health wasn’t even mentioned in the debate about demographic issues. I am very democratic, and I would have liked to laugh at Mitt’s ideas about MY body.
That being said, the debates were surprising. I am an Obama supporter, but I think Mitt won that debate. He is a master debater. He answered questions smoothly, looked back and forth from Obama to the mediator to the camera, and when he was stumped, he didn’t show it. There were a few points when I couldn’t help but chuckle, just because I don’t agree with his ideas, but I was impressed with his rhetoric. He didn’t bog the debate down with personal information, but he put himself into it enough that I could tell he really believed what he was saying. Even if he was wrong. Which he was. Personal bias aside, Obama did well too. Although he couldn’t seem to get his point across in the allotted time slot, he was still pretty clear about his ideas, plans, and personal beliefs. I liked that he announced his anniversary, this personal stuff is what makes him human to us. I’m still voting for him, if not just for Mitt Romneys small face.
What I didn’t like about the debates what exactly that, they were debates. The presidents get up there, spew some empty rhetoric around the room, mention a couple statistics, and then rebuttal. Its been that way for awhile now. Although they both displayed more detailed plans, I still got lost in the fact that most of the time, they were just replying to the other’s ideas, and saying the other candidate was wrong. Its just what happens. I guess I just wish I could have heard more of the ideas Im passionate about, women's health being one of them. All in all, great job candidates, Obama 2012!
