and then Romney would respond every time with, that's not what I'm proposing. During Romney's campaign he has talked about that $5 trillion, but now he just changes it when he is questioned about it on a debate, so how does anyone know what he is running on? Businessweek has reported, "Romney issued a more aggressive tax-cutting plan in March that would cut individual income tax rates an additional 20 percent. It involved, as Obama correctly said, approximately $5 trillion in reduced tax receipts over 10 years." Who knows anymore what Romney is going to do other than the narrative that has been written for him. Running against the incumbent becomes easy to debate if you play it right, and Mitt Romney did that exactly. He attacked the president on his record and dodged bullets by changing what he has said in the past. Many people said after the debate that Romney was strong and straight forward looking Obama in the eyes and Obama didn't look present. I believe those are all very unfair comments and not fully truthful when you look at the entire picture. What can Obama attack Romney for? Bain capital or his tax reports? All of that is important to a presidential candidate but not things to bring up in a debate. They are irrelevant during a debate, unfortunately. President Obama had to protect his image, defend what he stands for, promote his plans and talk about what positive changes he has made in the past
