And Obama won overall, according to the same poll:
BREAKING: CBS NEWS INSTANT POLL Who won debate? OBAMA: 37%; ROMNEY: 30%, TIE: 33% (Margin of Error: 4 pts.)
Ok. On a "debate" they think he debated well over all. Fine. But he got his ass kicked on the issue of our time. The issue of the election. The issue on everyones mind.
Of course you are standing way out in right field so everything looks left to you. Obama is a moderate, not a leftist. He is the least liberal candidate since WWII. Unfortunately, right wingers have moved so right into the loony bin. Anything that conflicts with their views is classified as leftist.
Our findings here echo those discussed in a prior post that Republicans have moved further to the right than Democrats to the left in the contemporary period. Indeed, as seen below, President Obama is the most moderate Democratic president since the end of World War II, while President George W. Bush was the most conservative president in the post-war era.
Does anyone else find it sad that there are polls saying that the prez won and he lied with a straight face pretty much the whole time? Does that unnerve anyone else? I mean I just don't get how people can be okay with being lied to like that...
I dont get the right. When romney won he did good and we all had to accept it. People should be more mature and just admit when mittens does not do that good.
Obama did bad in the first debate. He did great tonite.... See, i admitted Obama did bad in the past.
What plan does the opposition offer? Presidents don't fix economies, no matter what they might tell you. In the case of Obama, they can actually do a fair bit of damage. The best a president can do is offer an environment that improves sentiment and encourages investment from businesses, and that includes hiring. Clearly, Obama does not have this effect...

I wasn't talking about the economy, I was talking about his tax plan.
Romney: "The proof of whether a strategy is working or not is what the price is that you're paying at the pump. If you're paying less than you paid a year or two ago, why, then, the strategy is working. But you're paying more. When the president took office, the price of gasoline here in Nassau County was about $1.86 a gallon. Now, it's $4.00 a gallon. The price of electricity is up. If the president's energy policies are working, you're going to see the cost of energy come down."
The facts: Presidents have almost no effect on energy prices; most are set on financial exchanges around the world. When Obama took office, the world was in the grip of a financial crisis and crude prices - and gasoline prices along with them - had plummeted because world demand had collapsed. Crude oil prices have since risen even as U.S. oil production has soared in recent years because global demand is reaching new heights as the developing economies of Asia use more oil.
Other energy prices have fallen during Obama's term. Electricity prices, when adjusted for inflation, are down, and homeowners are finding it much cheaper to heat their homes with natural gas. That's because natural gas production has surged, reducing prices both for homeowners and for utilities that burn gas to generate electricity.
Businessman Romney isn't aware of how the oil markets and energy pricing works?
