I request that the President restore subsidies to training hospitals that were cut in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 in order to increase competition in the medical marketplace, which should serve to reduce health care costs.

Romney appears to have won the debate.

Yes. first the narrator had no control of one of the opponets name Mitt Romney he over rehersed his self until he broke all the rules, he disrespected the president of the United State, Mitt Romney ws running al over the debate with his quick lies, and another thing why? did the debate had to happen on the presidents anniversary why? can anyone answer this. Well iam glade that the Republicans think there over rehersed pupil won with all his quick and fasts lies i donot blame the best president this country ever have and there will never be another one like Barack Obama, I will speak for our president. It is the best and only thing is to let your opponet think he has won, i always say save the best for Last.

The moderator of the debate appeared to be biased based on the fact that Romney was allowed to have the last word on most, if not all of the topics discussed. This was an obvious advantage to Romney. Also, the moderator appeared to be biased though his demeanor and the phraseology that he utilized during the debate.

debate format

Jim Lehrer was a great moderator in his day. But his day has passed! It is time to get another moderator that can ask questions that will make both candidates think and answer the questions that Americans want answers to in order to make a informed decision

I would like Mr. Romney to explain how 50 states, each designing a health care system can be more efficient than having one central plan. Also, what happens when someone moves from one state to another?

I was disillusioned and disheartened by President Obama's debate performance, and the basic problem needs to be addressed in order to proceed to a fair election.

I think that the Presidents hands should be untied and he be allowed to respond to Romney's lies and deception accordingly without having to worry about the backlash of people who are thinking he will come off as the angry b___k man. He is fighting for the intergrity of this country and he needs to be tuff and steern. We are not looking for a weak and passive leader in these days a times, we need a steel rod spine and a clear decided visionary for our world leader. Please let the President know we have his back on fighting for our nation with zest and vigor.

I've experienced too many bullys in my life, and we certainly don't need one as a president. What we need is powerful diplomacy--not more "aggression."

Mr. Romney appeared to be debating under influence. He appeared, acted, and sounded too buzzed. Is there a guideline and testing set up for detecting possible abuse?

Former governor Romney and his beliefs are the antithisus of what has happened economically in this country. Chasing the almighty dollar at the expense of the working millions that form the core of our nation cannot continue as can the canabalizing of American industry by exporting jobs to other countries. As educators we have been charged with creating the workforce for the 21st century, but to what end. We can prepare them, but if there are no careers out there for them to pursue, what is the point.
