A Fourth Grader's Bullet Notes on the Presidential Debate

(The first 30 minutes, anyway...we didn't make it to bayonets):

• Foreign affairs
• 47%-47% "Dead Heat"
• Trade deficits
• Debate is in Florida
• 2 minutes to answer questions
• Obama being very reasonable 
• Attack on embacy
• 2 weeks in Irac
• both had good answers
• Mitt Romney has a better answer about terrorism
• They shouldn't be worried
• Obama is right about they shouldn't have troups in Irac
• I think they should let them deal with it to keep ourselves safe but help them by doing something else besides fighting
• I agree with Mitt in that we shouldn't put our troups in Syria
• Should talk things out so we don't have so many wars and so many people dying
• I agree with Obama in that women need freedom and education
• Fights in the Middle East
• We need a strong military and allies
• I agree with Romney in that we should help the world
• We need to get our economy going
• We need to stand for our allies
• I agree with Obama in that we should have good education
• We should have clean energy
• We need better jobs

And then Big Sis needed to go to bed.

Overall analysis the next day:  "I agreed with Romney, but it seems like Obama is still being pretty reasonable."
