The First Presidential Debate: Who Did Better?

When the firs presidential debate occurred I didn't know what to expect for I haven't been paying attention to the campaigning since I don't religiously agree with either candidate.  However I thought I might vote so I decided to watch the debate.

Now when it started I thought that Obama was gonna start b.s.ing like he often does as opposed to Romney who seemed to be more straight with the audience and more believable. However soon the president started to speak more realistically to his viewers as well.  Romney does a decent job defending what Obama says and claims about him.  Also I like that Romney does in fact break down his plan into his number points.  Obama doesn't break it down so it can get very confusing.  Also he seemed to look down a lot during the debate.  Maybe it just to look at his notes but that's beside the point. Also he said um a lot

Now both men were disrespectful to moderator Jim Lehrer.  They both cut him off and tried to not follow the rules.  Especially when the subject was social security.  They said just a few words on that and jumped straight to medicare.

Now I'm not gonna give my views but in terms of speaking and performance I believe Romney did better.
