"Good job Obama for asking for a medicare plan. then telling 50 year olds to listen! Obama shouldn't really tell everyone what Romney plan is; he is setting himself up to be attacked by Romney, if he says something wrong. Obama needs to work on making his plan look good towards those 50 year olds.
Obama did a good job in bringing his healthcare plan. Obama didn't really explain where the money will come from when he says "that the money will come from somewhere"
Romney needs to chill out, he's interrupting and this does not look good the american people, they want simple and easy not the details he's trying to get into.
Romney should say where regulation has become excessive Ave american DOESN't KNOWS WHAT DODD FRANK IS?" -
