If I recall the the NPR report this morning, Obama said, ”acts of terror,” and it was at the end of his remarks and it appeared to be more general; not necessarily specifically about Benghazi.
And as to the 47%; Romney brought it up first, when he said he cared about 100% of the people. If he hadn’t brought it up, I don’t think Obama would have mentioned it. Perhaps they had a contingency plan for if he had last word, but they couldn’t count on that, obviously. Even so, they could even less count on Romney bringing it up in his last turn, when Obama had the final turn.
Compared to the first debate, Obama totally smoked Romney. It made me feel like he was actively trying to lose the first one. You can’t be that good after being that bad if you weren’t trying to be bad the first time. Obviously he has no reason to “try” to be bad, but perhaps it was subconscious on some level.
But this time he killed. Romney didn’t have a chance. He was on top of everything Romney said, and he brought out evidence and rebutted almost every point.
One thing I wish he would have done is explain how good Obamacare is for small business. He let that one go, and Obamacare allows small businesses to offer everyone insurance, even low paid workers. They couldn’t afford to do that before. That needs to be pointed out.
