Of course Obama won, Romney said "I know what I need to do" Obama said "here's what we need to do:"

I'm glad this video came with free buffering, was afraid it was gonna play smoothly

These debates was where it was at. You could tell they truly respected each other.

I don't understand. Our deficit dropped 37% in 2013, and is now literally lower than when president Obama was first elected (which is amazing considering we weren't paying for two wars). Our gas prices have dropped from $4 to $2 precisely due to the reasons that President Obama suggested in this debate, and they're estimated to drop to $1.50 in the next 6 months. Our unemployment rate has dropped from an annual 9% in 2009 to an annual 6% in 2014, and is dropping at a rate quicker than this century has ever previously seen. Barack Obama has fulfilled his promises for his election, and has shown that the Affordable Health Care Act has been phenomenally successful to those lower and middle class Americans who could never receive healthcare due to the corporations who ignored them because there was no competition. Barack Obama came into this country when it was on the brink of depression, and has taken us away from the grips of depression. Romney honestly tried to play the mistakes of the Bush administration and past onto President Obama when he literally stepped into a failing country? The facts show that President Obama has done well for our country. I don't see how it's feasible to blame him for past mistakes, or to suggest that he hasn't done his job.

I'm watching this after Clinton vs trump just so I don't have to kill myself

US politics seems messed up to me. You have a Democrat government yet more Republicans in congress? How are laws meant to be passed?

Who's watching in 2015?

This was one of the better debates of that year

Who's watching in 2016?

Romney would be better than trump

Romney was right at 33:36. If re-elected, Obama would put us at $20 trillion for the national debt. Very prescient words.

If only Romney could talk without being interrupted..

Wow, just wow. I love how all the good candidates have to compete against each other. Like you have McCain, then Romney, two great guys. And Obama, amazing president. And then TRUMP. tbh we just got unlucky. Imagine McCain or Romney as president right now...

“He was on 60 minutes just two weeks ago!!!”..... lol 😂. He had Romney on defense the whole time. Great strategy..

I don't like Obama or Romney, but out of them, I'm glad Obama won. I don't know how to explain it, but I just get a certain feeling from Mitt Romney that I don't like.

"Sit down and shut up, Obama, you'll get your turn, little man" lol ...Romney was awesome

A more civil time.

why is the debate always about the middle classes. what about the working class

We going to miss Obama!

only the first 10 minutes, we can see Obama is on fire on the second debate.

Please proceed Governor... (bury yourself!)

Currently watching this to calm down after I was just traumatized by the 2nd Clinton/trump debate

Lol I feel like there's almost as much of a fight between the candidates and the debate moderator than there is fighting between the candidates themselves.

Why do they keep cutting Romney off and interrupting him?

Instead of expanding the damn government why don't you let the free market grow?

I can't wait to see a trump and Clinton town hall that will be hilarious.

It still has not caused illegals coming into this country to be reduced by ANY means. The laws have already been in place to punish those who hire illegals, but point of fact...if they want to reduce the number of illegals coming into this country, then they are going to have to start raising the minimum wage earning of the average or low income worker.

I love when Governors and former Governors tout balancing their budgets when most Governors are explicitly obligated by their respective states' Constitutions to do so.

Comming back to this video after 2 years.....Good thing Obama won.

the unemployment rate is down to around 5 percent it was 8 at this time obama isnt doing bad after all

God I'm going to miss Obama. He is a man of action and a man of class. He lifted this country out of the hole the Bush administration dug. I hope whoever is president after Trump is able to do the same thing.

VOTE Ron Paul He is the only candidate that actually knows where the root of the US problems are and wants to fix them. Don't let the Media control your vote

1:39:56 fail handshake

Bring back obama

Count how many times Obama says “AAAANNNDDDD”

sooooo are we completely ignoring the fact that when President Obama was first elected that the republican party made it extremely hard for him to pass any laws that would have ended many of these issues???? He was meeting with congress with almost every week!

dude the moderator called him romLEY

Obama one hell of a confident man by the first word that comes out his mouth to the last word that comes out his mouth

Same here dude, I'm 17 going on 18 on October 30th, Thanks to Obama, my future is ruined...

Thank you! Investing in oil drilling and tracking and destroying our environment while we're at it has to be the most stupid way towards energy independence. We need renewable energy not oil which we'll never be fully independent from. That's what close-minded people don't understand, they don't understand the world is changing.

I dont know how Romney lost he would have been a great president.

Romney Blew him away!

You are wrong about gas prices. He is responsible for handing out permits to allow drilling on American soil and waters. If the POTUS does that, gas prices could go down $2 - $3 a gallons at the pump. Just take a look at Alaska.

"When you come out in 2014, I presume I'm gonna' be president. I'm gonna' make sure you get a job." Mitt Romney has such a good insight, right? He is still rich, and still could 'make sure Jeremy finds a job' , but Mitt suddenly doesn't care anymore.

Great stuff! High art!

1-1. Next debate determines who wins.

The Man is listing what he has done in the past 4 years. George W Bush, what did you accomplish in 8 years? And Bush is BETTER than Romney

The full debate? awesome TDC!

...and then Barack Obama let Detroit go bankrupt

Everything Romney predicted happened... ehh idk who would be a better president. Obama did not fulfill everything he said he would, not even a little bit; Romney is a good speaker, but something about him bothers the hell out of me. Politics is annoying

She interupped Romney 29 times and only 9 times for the President !!

I love the smile on their faces when the other one is speaking.

Romney wasnt able to disassociate himself from george w bush at around the 42 minute mark, and that hurt him badly.

Mitt should run again in 2020!

"When I was governor of Massachusetts I dindt get voted for President from my own state"

This debate was a glaring example of liberal media bias. Obama blatantly lied at 1:12:00 when he claimed that the day after the Benghazi attack he stood in the Rose Garden and stated that it was an act of terror. Instead, the Obama administration claimed for nearly two weeks that the attack was a response to a KZfaq video which had offended the people who led the attack. When Romney called him out on this, the moderator, Candy Crowley, jumped to Obama's defense and started arguing with Romney! Romney eventually gave up arguing the point. This debate is part of what led Republicans to support Trump in 2016 as Republican voters were sick and tired of weak Republican candidates who allowed themselves to be pushed around by biased moderators!

14:20 Obama the great environmentalist !

the debate is really good and constructive.

I'm not from the US. I live in Belgium & I followed the entire debate. The rude way that Gouverner Romney adresses to the questions of the people and the basic debate concerns me. At times I was wondering... "What the hell are you doing? Shouldn't you adress the questions instead of being opportunistic & returning to prev. question? Be a man & adress a debate in a decent fashion. That being said: 4 years to reverse decades of BS republican administration is 2 little. Ever heard of "inertia"?

we get overtime for any athletic event, but presidential debates are given a timeframe with each candidate forced to rush questions. Just an observation...

AT DISTANCE 2016.SINCE 2012 WE CAN SEE THAT OBAMA DONT DO THAT HE SAID. LISTEN TO THIS DEBATE AND NOW IT BY YOURSELF

After sort of a lack luster first debate, Obama schooled Romney in this one.

Why is Romney sooooooooo rude it starts to get annoying

around and around and around......political merry go round.....

House of Cards brought me here. #FU2016

Please let intelligence win over. Please let Obama win. Please, please, please, intelligent Americans! I'm Australian, an Atheist and a liberal and I am seriously worried about Romney winning the election.

13:36, every "hippy", "tree hugger", environmentalist, and engineering chemist just slapped mitt Romney with their minds

Boo hoo to the Romney autograph seekers. That signature will Never be worth the paper it's printed on!:-)

lol this isn't funny

I'm Australian, I don't even know why the hell i'm here lol.

That Biden/ Paul Ryan Debate though Lol 😂 I had to watch it again after watching the first debate between Hillary and Trump lol 😂

I hope my man donald will change this game completely. Smash crooked Cliton

What has Obama done for the last four years? Romney

"binders full of women" lmfao

That one person hard clapping at 1:40:37 lmao.

Obama 2012 !!!!! We need a president with a clear mind, who sees reality ... Romney=Bush

21:20 - Planted audience member forgets her own question! About her own children.

My issue with Romney is highlighted perfectly in the responses to the first question. Mitt kept saying he knows how to do this and that but Barack came out and pinpointed the means by which these things will be achieved.

Keep in mind none them outlined any specifics of their plans and both told their own fair share of lies, well more like half truths and half lies.

Romney why would you rather have Hillary for President than support Trump. He was okay to take money from but you gave him a body slam when he wanted to run for president. No you were not my choose but I supported you, supported the Republicans choice, spent hours on the phone asking people to vote for you. Put up signs. Your speech against Trump showed how dishonest you are not how dishonest Trump is. Your speech against Trump is used in Hillary adds. As you know it is very hard for a Republican to beat a Democrat and you are just making it harder.

For every item manufactured outside the US in China which is then EXPORTED from China from the companies who own the manufacturing facitilities and then IMPORTED into this country, the price is driven higher. American people are not willing to buy items at a higher price. Although they want to buy items which are produced in this country, they can not produce these items at a cheaper rate due to the fact that EPA guidelines, employee benefits, and wages, drives cost up

I enjoy true debates where it appears that both candidates respect each other while making pertinent arguments. The only drawback -- the moderator. She is terrible!

He has tried to do all the things he has promised but Congress and the Republicans have buried him at every turn. Lets not forget these facts.

I have watched 2 of these debates now, it seems to me that romney is making more sense. I'm not american so i'm completely neutral here, i don't care who wins.

Obama is tedious when he talks about "investing" in education... like that woman's kids are going to graduate in 20 years... that's a bit long to wait for the economy to recover , based on their amazing college "education"... I'm working class currently, and Romney the rich guy is on the money when he says reducing taxes on business creates jobs.

"Free loader", "i dont pay taxes". veteran from the US ARMY, 2 years supporting operation Enduring Freedom, i swore allegiance to the United States of America, i became a US Citizen from Mexico and i always have had respect for the commander in chief President Barack Obama; type of guy.

better yet, change the laws governing how a parent uses SENSIBLE discipline tactics with their kids without the input from a child protective services personell knocking down your door for swatting your kid on the ass for bullying another kid, or calling the parent a foul name, or being totally disrespectful to the parent

This has got to be one of the most awkward things to do

*Jobs* 0:43 20 Year Old College Student concerned about jobs 1. Affordable college 2. Job availability 3:08 3:14 Your Future Is Bright. 1. Build Manufacturing Jobs (is that what college prepares one for, manufacturing?) 2. Retraining 3. Energy control 5:33 Long-Term Unemployed People 7:19 We would have lost jobs if we did not keep the auto industry alive *Energy* 9:06 Lowering Oil Imports to 60-Year Lows. Efficient Energy. 11:35 1/2 The Permits. Use the many energies. Coal included. Use all of em. 13:57 Gas over $4 per gallon, new normal? (No) 16:00 17:33 Oil Coal Natural Gas

WOW what a dignified stance on the debate.

What's true is that the Republican House has continued to block the Presidents efforts to create jobs over the last 4 years. Romney says he will increase incomes but the most he might do is raise the minimum wage. Romney said he would lower taxes 20%. For many people that would be their total tax burden. It's not realistic for Romney to complain that the working poor are shiftless and then say he will eliminate their responsibility to pay taxes.

I live in England, so it doesn't really matter to me who wins. But just by watching these first two debates, not having any pre-conceived ideas about them both, not really knowing anything about what they have done in the past... if I was an American I would vote for Obama.

Romney says he can save the country if he becomes president. Obama says he can too, and WHY! Go Obama!

Based on these debates, it's hard to get a good idea of who to vote for. It's like they're just talking heads saying what we want to hear. I don't get any solid feeling of whether either candidate will follow through with their claims. To figure out who to vote for, I'll have to read up on their track records - what they have *actually* done in the past. Here they're mostly saying what they are going to do - how do I know they're telling the truth?

If romney wins, you can expect another recession especially with the e.u. in an economic down turn

who else was expecting Kerry Latga to be "Carrie Latga"?

Did Romney really just say that he would punish employers who hire illegal immigrants. There already are those punishments for those employers who hire illegals. There are already safeguards in place for hiring people in this country. If he is going to do these so-called punishments on employers then he better start looking at any contractor who he hires to build anything he wants built. He also is going to have to start looking at state who hire illegals...

romney says he can save the country. obama says how he can save the country. BIG DIFFERENCE!!! Go Obama!!

Wish Romney was president.
