One for Romney...

Glad I watch the debate for myself instead of depending on the Decatur Daily's slant. Next debate maybe the Daily reporters would care towatch it with open minded people so they will be able to re-cap the debate with out there on slant.

If anyone thinks Obama won this one there is no hope for them. Not even sure if medicaion could help them at this point.

All you have to do is look at our country, is it better today than 4 years ago? Now, look at your current situation, Are you better off today than 4 years ago? We need a change and we need a real businessman to help our poor, sad country.

Sorry, Decatur Daily - Obama lost big time last night. He did not even look presidental . Romney's plan on Social Security is probably the only thing that can be done. The younger people can start preparing now, not to be able to draw until they are 67 or even 70. The ones on Social Security now are able to continue to work and pay in more. If you are still working you have to use Medicare, if you choose to take it, as your secondary and your place of business insurance as your primary.

Nothing is going to change for those people. Medicare A, is provided without a premium and helps with hospital bills. Medicare B does have a premium and pays most of what your other insurance does not pay. After I pay my deductibles on my insurance, I am never invoiced for anything. Medicare will approve payment on anything that your regular insurance regards as payable.

I think the debate was very informative. Obama tried to slide some of his thinking past Romney, but of course he called him down. This is one time that Obama didn't walk on the stage with his supporters cheering for him and I think it was quite a set back.

Total rout ,Romney in a landslide over barry !
