The Third Presidential Debate: Off-Topic

As I sat watching the debate on Monday I wondered what was going to happen. The past two debates have had President Obama and Mr. Romney at each other’s necks. The last debate however seemed to be a bit more relaxed. However, as I sat watching I thought that they seemed to get a bit off topic.

The debate on Monday was supposed to be about foreigh affairs, and the two did talk about these issues, but it seemed as though Mr. Romney agreed with President Obama. I would say about a half hour in is when things started to get a bit off topic. They began to talk about education and the teachers and class size, which  seemed to be a hot topic since they both had different opinions on the matter. I am not saying that this is not an important issue, but we were here to talk about foreign affairs. They've both already had enough time to talk about these issues. For them to bring it up during this topic showed that foreign policies aren't that important to either of them. When they would talk about foreign policies, it seemed as though they both had the same ideas. Maybe they should have picked a different topic to cover for the final debate. 

            
Getting off topic again, the President and Governor Romney moved on to the economy and jobs. Now this is a very big topic for them. A lot of people want to know what will be different if President Obama is reelected or Governor Romney is elected as the President. The thing that bothered me the most about this was they (once again) already had time for this. The debate became very boring because they would bring up ideas and issues that we've already heard them discuss in other debates. What I wanted to know is their viewpoints on foreign affairs. I did learn some good things from both candidates, but it seemed as if they both stood for the same things.
