Obama: Romney's words aren’t true

NEW YORK - United States President Barack Obama repeatedly challenged the truth of challenger Mitt Romney's statements as the two battled over the auto industry bailout, energy policy and social issues in their second debate.

"What Governor Romney said just isn't true," Obama said tonight after the Republican presidential nominee said he opposed bailing out carmakers because he wanted the industry to go through the same type of bankruptcy experienced by other major companies.

Obama said Romney's plan was to take General Motors Co (GM) and Chrysler Group LLC "into bankruptcy without providing them with any way to stay open, and we would have lost one million jobs".

It was downright depressing listening to this, had no choice since I was in a restaurant. Much like the PTP, these 2 unacceptable candidates aim most of their talking points at the bottom portion of the public, most of which has the intelligence level of an average 8 year old.

For a very important debate, it is sad that the writer did not present both retorts and rebuttals to the comments reported. (complete exchanges) Some of the incomplete statements here are very misleading. Unfortunately the entire dialog could not be printed due to its length so beware before you make a judgement on one candidate or the other.
