Horses and Bayonets!
That was the most memorable line of last night 3rd presidential debate between Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama and it was tweeted by 6.5 million people. WOW! The final debate centered around our domestic policy [here at home] and foreign policy abroad, and although both candidates walked onto the stage at Lynn University ready to defend their former and current policies on this issue, President Obama was clearly the top winner of the debate.
With many undecided voters hanging in the wings, Romney often tried to appease the public showing a little more polite mannerisms than Obama and surprisingly siding with many of the President’s proposed initiatives, meanwhile President Obama took a more serious and aggressive stance in both his message and response to Romney’s accusations.
