Obama did well, he stuttered and had a had time on several questions, but he is doing well.

Obama lost this debate. He can't speak he stutters and stammers and never gives a straight answer. The most I got out of it was he wants big goverment and to have a socialist country. We all should have the same income, houses, cars etc. So working hard for what you have means nothing.

How about a tax cut for everyone? What gives these goofballs the right to take our money and waste it the way they do? Why not cut spending instead of wasting our tax dollars on their pet projects? Taxing the so-called rich will only hurt America. Who do you think employs us? Certainly not the poor. Increase their taxes and they will decrease the number of jobs. It's be shown over and over throughout our history that tax cuts increase tax revenue, and not vice versa.

his definition of middle class is insane , middle class is different income levels in places where standard of living differs.

Well I'd have to disagree with you on the that Fnky. Obama said he'd make a modest taxes rise for the rich & give a tax cut for the middle class.

Obama lost this debate on every issue. Obama's hope is higher taxes and a socialistic government. The only thing that government has proven they can do well is collect and spend taxes.
