- A far more aggressive President Obama showed up for his second debate with Mitt Romney on Tuesday, and at moments their town-hall-style engagement felt more like a shouting match than a presidential debate.
The two men challenged each other on the facts, talked over each other and stalked each other across the stage.
President Obama and Mitt Romney aggressive in second presidential debate: A far more aggressive President Obama showed up for his second debate with Mitt Romney, and at moments their town-hall-style engagement felt more like a shouting match than a presidential debate.
Moderator Candy Crowley of CNN faced a difficult task all night in trying to keep to the intended format as both candidates insisted on answering nearly every charge from his opponent, regardless of the time limits.
The president, looking for an opportunity to recharge his campaign after a lackluster performance at their first debate two weeks earlier, contended that the Republican nominee's policies and values are extreme and out of touch with the concerns of the middle class.
Romney, having rallied his supporters with his performance in Denver, was seeking to keep that momentum going. Neither one held back.
The debate, which was framed by questions from the audience, ranged into topics that had not been broached in any depth at the earlier one - including immigration, women's issues, gun control and foreign policy.
In one of the sharpest exchanges of the night, Obama and Romney clashed over whether the White House misled Americans about the nature of the Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya.

Cenk - "Romney is Bush on steroids." Wait until you meet Trump, Cenk.
trump is nixon on crack
Carlos Soto Much better analogy
This was five years ago, and Cenk actually looks 10-15 years younger
wolfpackvisual I was thinking the same thing. I just kind of got used to him looking like he does.
That German translation is so off, it is hilarious. At one point Obama was translated to Mama which is German for mom xD
I can't imagine Donald trump standing on that stage having an intelligent debate with Hillary
it'll be Huuuge
+john b*Yuge
He only says like 3 things
You're right. It wasn't
lol the transcript
"president bomb"
"president bombing"
"president bahamas"
Take a drink every time Obama says "folks"
Cenk looks like a discount Mark Cuban
you have more cottage cheese on the back of your legs than my local whole foods has in stock ! damn....ever heard of panty hose, Porker?
George Bush: "Mitt! Help! This bus wheel is crushing me!"
What's with all these hand gestures Romney is making? hehehehe
I'm not exactly the most fanatical about President Obama, but I can honestly say that Obama RIPPED Romney in these debates.
Yeah, I definitely agree
He only "ripped" Romney because he lied to everyone about Romney's plans. Note how he had to always correct Obama
AJ Hesby Remember Romney lied in 50% of those corrections, Obama actually corrected him a lot and showed that he is a hypocrite.
AJ Hesby honestly speaking, I don't even think Romeny himself even knows what his plans are. He's a classic politician, saying whatever it takes to win votes and please big corporate cash cows. I'm sure Romney is nice as a person in his own regard, but I have very little respect for his policies or his political and social views. This whole notion that poor people are looking for a handout is completely absurd. Poor people aren't looking for a handout, they're looking for the most BASIC or necessities of life. Romney may term it as a handout but I do feel it as being a fundamental human right.
If I had dollar for every time Romney says "small business", I could start some big business.
Obama and Romney: "Do you think these suckers are buying any of this shit?", laughter, "Who knows and who cares!"
your mom sure knows how to back it up ! holla !
So basically, we should vote paris hilton and kim kardashian into office.
Obama's jocking JFK SO HARD WITH THE POWER FIST
Hahahaha. The first comment saying he was sexy I thought "Yeah, I could see that. Good looking guy, assertive, I could see a woman liking that".
Then they gave me horrible mental images...
Cenk obviously is suffering from altitude sickness
ahahahahaha
I seriously thought he was going to cry !
xD
The campaign in a nutshell: Romney doesn't need to lie but he can't help himself.
The gloves were definitely off in that debate. I thought they were going to get in a fistfight at one point.
Obama delivered some really memorable lines in this debate.
been waiting for this.
This is not a debate, it is a show of clowns who fight each other verbally in order to get the best seat under the sun.
"but wut 'bout Cenk's birth certificate!!!!!???"
... and hell breaks loose again. :P
Wow, and you learned all that about me from 12 words?
Lol Romney talking about the middle class being crushed as if he wants to change it xD
When Cenk said "I know you are not surprise by that" I was like "Stop reading my mind dude!!"
Romney said "number 3" twice.
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAAAHAHAHAHH
George bush on steroids! Lmaoooooooo
Hold on a sec Mitt.. How is Bain Capital a small business again?
Obama: "Plan is to make sure folks at the top play by a different set of rules"
LOL Obama sure is one to speak on that one!!! HAHAHAH
Bush definitely dreamed of eliminating the estate tax.
Debt went from $8 trillion to $16 trillion. That sounds like just about double the deficit to me.
Cenk, you should be the moderator in the next debate. PLEASE.
O natalie- just put your nose back in the law books
I don't know why people are calling this a debate. Its a joint press conference people.
Your persistent inability to answer my initial question would beg me to ask you likewise.
You cant spell R. Money without Romney.
you can't spell Osama Bin Laden w/o Obama... who cares?? haha
The ENTIRE system needs a reset button.
The only thing the debates accomplished for me, is that I am more likely voting for a third party
The downside of economic freedom is that one's freedom becomes directly proportional to one's economy.
Gary Johnson, the first step in America's struggle to get rid of child labour laws.
Agreed on that last point.
He really took it home with that 47% debacle.
Honestly, all Romney had to say was "I'm Romney, he's Bush. We have different names, and I'm a better president. Final."
That's an excellent point. Personally, I think that the reason so many Americans are all-fired up about legalizing pot is because the Weed issue is connected to so many other problems that we've got in America.
The War on Drugs, for instance, is an enormously powerful movement that hurts a LOT of people... And it takes a huge amount of American tax dollars to support a social institution that is almost universally unpopular.
Our obsession with weed is quite understandable in that context.
OH NO NOT PBS!! AAGAHAJAAKALASLSKOM!!
i was going to use facts like there are only about 50k people in the world with an IQ that high but i like your response better lol
"Based on these facts alone, no one should vote for Mitt Romney." So much for unbiased journalism.
yes its like placing a superb football player in the midst of a team that mostly cant stand him and then blaming the player for not doing his best
I liked the moment when he asked Romney, as a businessman if he'd accept his own "plan" with no details. I thought that was a knockout blow.
Just imagine. Imagine if the main stream media did commentary like this.
Debt: $16 trillion (Money owed)
Deficit: $1.1 trillion (Expenditure exceeding revenue)
couldnt said it better myself, very well said.
Haha you got shot down by Bob Marley..
You are absolutely right, I was confusing the debt with the deficit, which actually went down. Very important distinction between the two. Thanks for pointing that out
"President Bomber" ?
this debate is so awkward with them walking around so much...
Whenever someone says "today 47 million people are on food stamps" they should be reminded that its better than 47 million people starving to death in the streets, because 4 years after the 1929 crash that was exactly what was happening.
PS, Thanks. That is genuinely interesting.
Great breakdown!
This guy's got it so right:
Obama -> meh
Romney -> catastrophe
I know it happens constantly, but it seems like the more Romney starts losing, the more he just tries to fall back on "Well, 4 years ago Obama said this!"
hey shouldn't you be blowing the leaves off my lawn?
thats a '7 day average' wait til next week ;)
Romney's best case is that Obama hasn't done a good job. That doesn't mean he will.
lets be friends Hugh, want a banana?
I can't wait to vote for Gary Johnson on Monday.
Wow, Cenk is looking a lot thinner here.
hahaha

i listened to the debate on the radio. i can barely stand to look at romney, im glad i listened to it instead.
Does Romney have dentures? He sounds like it... Back to intelligent comments. :)
Great analysis!
Last time I voted for Obama. This year I don't think I'm even going to vote.
Championing small business. They say it often and the pronunciation gets them every time. Haha!
romney's comments in regards to small business is so amusing when you realize that the "small business" he is talking about coming up in was bane capital.
Last year I voted for Obama. This year I don't think I'm going to vote.
Oh, and shale oil is too expensive to be worthwhile at the current price of oil.
The only bad thing I see is that he wants to abolish PBS...How dare he???
Apple: iOS 6
Microsoft: Windows 8(beta)
Mitt Romney: IMRMNI 10.0 / B0sh 2.0
Really? So if public education did not exist, education itself would not exist?
Romney's head shaking is telling.
As someone who lives is California and sees very regularly how harmful the 'war on drugs' is to the US, and that at a minimum my state alone would make 2 billion dollars just from the growth and sale of legal cannabis not to mention removing millions from a massively over crowded prison system. Hell it might be enough money to stop a tragically collapsing public school system. Will pot fix everything hell no, but it will help and should be part of the conversation without being dismissed.
More right-wing than Bush??? I didn't even know that was possible...
"Romney's strongest argument was the 5.4% unemployment comment." Except he completely erased that argument by saying in the very same debate that government doesn't/isn't responsible for creating jobs. I don't know why Obama didn't capitalize on that.
Great video!
They see me trolling, they hating...
Who knew that would be possible 4 years ago?
The only thing you need to know is that 47% of women in binders love Big Bird and won't vote for Romney.
*smiled
wow- didn't think I could smile- thanks !
I think they were both doing well. The president gave him a few well timed uppercuts for sure.
Tell that to my mom. I love her but I can't stand her blind support for Romnuts.
Yes... he doesn't like him but he thinks Mitt Romney would destroy any chance of fixing the system.
You just gave an excellent example of how they might both be different! Some people see bi-partisanship as an attribute....others see it as giving in.
I personally think if you give Republicans an inch, they will take a parsec.
Wow. Extremely profound point there. You must be a really intelligent person.
no need for middle eastern oil when the US gets most of it from Canada anyway...
Perfectly fine. I do not care about your politics on a personal level, but from where I am sitting I see nothing but corruption. The closest you got to what you wanted was a mandate. Its pathetic.
Obamas grandfather must have been young when he went in WWII... I mean, MY grandfather was 17 when he went into WWII, and atm I'm in my 20's...
my favorite part was when he made Bush seem more empathetic than Romney....ouch
They actually went and found a guy who sounds dumber than Bush. I don't know how they did it, but they did.
The Jon Stewart act just doesn't work on a brown guy. Sorry bro
