Just because President Obama did poorly in the first debate does not, by any means, determine he is going to loose. He has not debated in a public setting like that for four years now. Of course the first time around is going to be a little rough. Romney has nothing else to do but work his way to being elected. President Obama kind of has another job at the moment. Ya know, being president.
What matters in the end is of course their stance on issues and their plans for this country. Public speaking is something that a president must be good at, of course, but debating is something entirely different. I should know, I have participated in a debate.
Of course it was nothing like this one, it was vastly different, but I still completely understand perhaps being a little caught off guard and being unable to answer all of the questions, or handle all of the issues that are perhaps being presented accurately and well.
I will say again, one debate does not determine an election, at least so far as I know. From what it seems a lot of people seem to think that this debate is turning the tides of the election, or they are questioning whether or not Obama still "has it." Whatever "it" may be.
He has a very important job to do right now, running the country is an incredibly difficult job. He has so much going on and so much to do that preparing for a debate was probably not everything he had on his mind at the time.
Then the question comes to whether he was simply saving all of his big points for the last debate, when things re really down the wire. Is he saving his calling out of Romney's mistakes for the last debate? WHere he can really make an impact on what people are thinking, closer to actual election day and to have his points be more recent in peoples' minds, compared to a few weeks earlier.
I guess we shall see. It shall be an interesting one. Thanks for reading, what do you guys think? Comment below!
