we haven't lost an ambassador since 1979-under jimmy carter.

it is a big deal, and it is equally a big deal that other americans were killed on the anniversary of 9-11, mainly because of inadequate security-- and inadequate support-- and inadequate follow up.

the fact that the british left and we stayed shows we aren't on top of it, and the weapons, of course, are now in the hands of terrorists.

Face facts: just like the first debate in which Romney crushed Obama, in the second debate Obama crushed Romney. Get over it, that's how it went down, and that moment we've been waiting for happened on tonight's debate - Romney was caught lying on national television, Obama was made to look above him and this debate and proceeded to stand above it all as he put on his Commander-In-Chief hat and was admirable in doing so.

The playing field of the election has changed once again, but it's FAR too early to predict who will win. Romney still can win this - it's up to Obama and strong debates to keep this in his favor.
Incorrect. Before the first debate Obama already had it in the bag.

There are no undecideds left. This debate proved it. The audience was all supposed to be undecideds but they all clearly had agendas.

Romney does not have enough time to turn it around.

How can a building be on active duty? Hell, one would think you guys would be agreeing with me because I'm saying Obama was correct in not calling it a terrorist attacks.

Seems to me you seem to just want to argue..

For a man who wants women to stay at home he sure did hire a lot of them to come work for him. There is no war on women from Romney.
This does not change my view whatsoever.

Lol

You losers might want to check the break down of some of the insta polls. CNN and CBS both show Romney won on economy big and won on deficits and even health care.

Actually that was a true fact, President Bush was the president of the US for eight years, I never voted for him, but there wasn't another president that I did vote for during that time. So yes, President Bush was our president as much as President Obama is our president.

Actually it was the moderator herself who admitted she was wrong.

I agree Obama was much better and more like himself tonight. He's still full of aspirations and promises, even after four years. I don't think his supporters are going to get the bounce they're hoping for.

The Hope is fading, and the Change is transparent.

So it wasn't a terrorist attack?
