Obama's accomplishments & thoughts on the 1st Presidential debate

The first presidential debate between Obama & Romney just wrapped up a few minutes ago. It wasn't too exciting but I expect the next one to be better.


A lot of people ask me about Obama's accomplishments as President and here are a few of them the President shared during the debate:
1.Cut taxes for middle class families
2. Cut taxes for small businesses, increasing job growth.
3. Cut prescription costs for elders under medicare
4. More funding for states with reforms
5. Hiring more teachers
6. Maintained low student loan rates.
7. Doubled exports
8. Repealed don't ask, don't tell.
9. Cut down wall st expenses

I thought Obama did better. He was all 3 c's (cool, calm & collected). Did anyone else think he looked very tired? Understandably so no doubt, but is that why he seemed more defensive and cautious. I wish he took more swipes at Romney, but that's alright.

Here are two of my favorite quotes of the night:
“The government shouldn’t mandate to the doctor and the patient what treatment can be offered.” - Mitt Romney

“We are a nation that believes we are all children of the same God,” - Mitt Romney

Romney obviously rehearsed well, and it showed lol. Don't forget his wonderful comments about Obama's stance on green jobs.  Kudos to him on his use of people first language #sarcasm
