The debates are over, and in a few weeks it will be time to head to the polls to pick the next president.
So, who do you think won the third and final debate Monday night between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney?
In a debate about foreign policy that often touched on domestic issues, Obama seemed more aggressive than in the first debate, dismissing Romney's foreign policy ideas as naive and outdated.
Regarding Romney's assertion that Russia is a geopolitical threat, Obama said, "The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back."
Obama called Romney's policies "wrong and reckless."
"Attacking me is not an agenda," Romney responded.
Obama said Romney wants to devote "$2 trillion to military spending the military isn't asking for."
Romney said that with Iran closer to having nuclear capability and other potential threats in the Middle East, the United States needs to be prepared.
"Our purpose is to make the world more peaceful," he said.

Romney did a great job! Obama was petty and demeaning with some of his remarks, he looked desperate. Romney looked presidential once again.
Voting for Romney

Which would you prefer? Obama apology tour or "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall"? Maybe the 80's foreign policy wasnt so bad after all. I think the 80's are calling, specifically 1980.

You know Obama's desperate when he goes to his old friend and mentor for help. Last week he held a conference call with a collection of black preachers that included his old pastor, Jeremiah Wright. He wanted to talk to them about getting out the vote.

Obama formulated one strong solution to every problem we face...Hire more teachers.
As for his arguments against Romney, Obama was able to merge all his retorts into one cogent argument...You're wrong!
Another four years? You've got to be kidding.

Maybe if Romney had a better geography teacher he would know Syria does not border Iran and that Iran has the largest coastal water access in the entire Middle East. Hopefully if we are burdened with him winning the election and going to war with Iran as he promised, he will know where he is sending the troops. How does a guy running for president not know Iran and Syria do not border each other?
How does Romney not know Iran has the largest coastal water access of any Middle Eastern Country? He certainly can't blame public schools since he had one of the best private school educations money could buy. Maybe Bain Capital needs to buy up the school Romney went to and close it down and put those teachers out of work for failing to teach him Geography.

Romney quote: "Syria is Iran's ‘route to the sea’."
Fact Check: False!
Iran has a large southern coastline with access to the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. It has no land border with Syria.

Maybe Romney would not have made that mistake if he had Obama's geography teacher...you know, the one who taught Obama there were 57 states. Give us all a break.

What would have happened if Romney would have pressed the President on his remarks about the terrorist attacks in Libya?

Romney was presidential. He's well prepared to be Commander-in-Chief.

Alinsky taught organizers to hide their true intentions in the words they spoke. Denying the truth or just plain lying were both acceptable tactics, as long as the cause was advanced. Looks like the truth has finally caught up with Obama.

Obama has a dismal record, that's the reason all he and Biden can do is attack and lie. Fact checkers show Romney won on facts (i.e., apology tour and GM).
