PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE Analysis Part I

It is with utmost satisfaction that many people got to watch the most anticipated debate of this year, President Obama vs Mitt Romney. The two fine schooled men squired it off quiet well with Romney coming out smiling as winner, at least in the eyes of many bloggers and media houses. Many people were perplexed at the lack of confidence and loss of words by President Obama, who many regard as a natural public speaker and fine one. Well he did not shine on this day am sorry to say. Mitt Romney articulated issues according to what electorates wanted to hear even though he seems to be inconsistent with certain policy issues.

But what was the highlights of this anticipated debate, President Obama opened the debate with a casual reference to what to he expects from the date as opposed to Mitt all out attack on Obama's record and emphasizing the weakness in his leadership in the last 4 years. In order to look more humane and in touch with people's challenges, Mitt referred to a mother that came to him requesting for help in securing a job for her husband who  has not been on a permanent job for a couple of years. This shows how prepared the Republican candidate was in capturing emotional appeal from the citizens, then in went to elaborate his overall economic plan. President Obama was largely defending his policies of the last 4 years while making sure that he does not raise the temple of attack on Romney lest ye invites a similar approach, this is demonstrating by his continuous reference to common beliefs that the two candidates have. Well this strategy did not go well for the President, because the more he did that the more he Mitt room to back with other veracious attacks. This was debate was largely President Obama on defense and Mitt Romney on offence, this is the exact position that he placed his opponent four years ago. Sam Tanenhause, Editor of Book Review said, "the better known and more seasoned candidate had more to lose than his opponent" referring to a debut Presidential debate televised in 1960 between Vice President Richard Nixon and the challenger Senator John F. Kennedy. This situation could be related to the unseated composure that President Obama exhibited during the 2012 opening debate.
