Very disappointing. Obama kept looking down when Romney spoke to him. Obama behavior was like a school kid who did not dare to lift his head when he was reprimanded by his teacher. John Kerry played the role of Mitt for Obama's preparation for the debate. It did not work. An "F" grade for Obama. That is still a generous grade since there is no "G" grade. Again, very disappointing.

As an independent, I watched the debate. Romney won big, showing the ability to connect, effectively advocate and think on his feet. Obama was a bit smug and unable to change course. He misportrayed Romney's tax reform (which is revenue neutral (lower rates, close loopholes and deductions), Obama portrayed it as a deficit) and when Romney told him that was not his plan, Obama repeated his misportrayal. Romney offered job creation (lowering taxes on small businesses)., Obama discussed education as a long term approach to job creation, but nothing to deal with the problem near term.
