We are having consultations with our partners including Israel about this. We are helping the opposition. We don't want to get entangled with anyone without having their credibility considered. [/color] [color=#333333]Romney - 30,000 being killed by their GOVT is a humanitarian disaster. Syria is Iran's only ally which threatens our allies. It's a high priority to remove the current regime. We don't want military involvement there. We should identify responsible parties, bring them together, as a form of counsel to take lead , have arms, to defend themselves. We need to coordinate efforts with allies. Every ally is concerned about this. I believe Assad must go, and he will go. In the years to come, we see syria is a friend, in the future, and it's a critical opportunity for us. We should be playing the leadership role, not on the ground. [/color] [color=#333333]Obama - We are making sure, those we help, will be friends of us in the long term. When we went into libya, we were immediately able to stop their forces and made sure that Gaddafi didn't stay there. Imagine if we pulled out at that point. We made sure we finished the job in a careful and thoughtful way, making sure who we were dealing with , and we have to take steady thoughtful leadership.[/color] [color=#333333]Romney - I don't wanna have military involved in Syria at this stage, and don't anticipate in future. We should replace Assad and have a friendly Govt. They should get arms to defend themselves. We have partners in the region, to support those groups. It's going on for a year, we should be taking a leading role to find responsible parties. [/color] [color=#333333]Obama - Romney doesn't have different ideas. We should promote moderate leadership and get Assad out.[/color] [color=#333333]----------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]EGYPT[/color] [color=#333333]----------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]You said President Mubarak to go[/color] [color=#333333]Obama - America stands for democracy. We saw tanks run over people in Tharir Square, but America doesn't want that. We have democratically elected leadership, to recognize rights of women. They have to abide by their treaty with Israel. They have to make sure they are cooperating in terms of terrorism and we will help them develop their economy. Those young people's aspirations are similar. They wanna make sure they have roof over their heads and better prospects in future. We should give them a sense of how they can build their economy. America should be successful in the region.[/color] [color=#333333]One of the challenges is nation building.[/color] [color=#333333]Romney - I believe as president indicated and supported his action. I wish we had better vision. [/color] [color=#333333]Our debt is the biggest national security threat that we face. We need to have strong allies. We are a great nation which has great allies. [/color] [color=#333333]--------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]OIL DEPENDENCY[/color] [color=#333333]-------------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]Obama - We need to cut our oil dependency and bring manufacturing jobs back home. Governor has taken a different approach. Wong and reckless policies.[/color] [color=#333333]Romney - I know what it takes to create 12 million jobs. We have 9 million jobs short of that . I will do it in 5 simple steps. [/color] [color=#333333]We will take advantage of all sources of energy , Oil, etc..[/color] [color=#333333]Latin America is a huge opportunity for us. [/color] [color=#333333]We should have training programs for our workers.[/color] [color=#333333]The teachers unions have to abide [/color] [color=#333333]Invest in america.That's where we are going right now. I will get us on track to a balanced budget. Small business is where our jobs come from, I wanna bring it and get good rising take home pay.[/color] [color=#333333]Obama - When you were in Massachusetts the development was 48%. [/color] [color=#333333]Romney - I'm proud of the state. We have every 2 years tests, how well our kids are doing. Kids came No.1 in Math and English in all 4 measures. How did we do that? Reps and Dems came together to have great teachers in Classroom .[/color] [color=#333333]-------------------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]INCREASE IN MILITARY[/color] [color=#333333]----------------------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]Do we want a bigger Navy? Do you want to not cut defense spending, how are you gonna get the money? [/color] [color=#333333]Romney - We will cut 5% discretionary budget. We will get a balanced budget in 8 to 10 years. I will get rid of Obama care from day 1. [/color] [color=#333333]We take some programs for poor, and we will give it to states because states run programs more efficiently, states like Arizona, Rhode Island. [/color] [color=#333333]Obama - Romney's 5 Trillion dollars of tax cuts by closing deductions. It doesn't work out but he says he does it. [/color] [color=#333333]Our military is the biggest. We are coordinating with our Joint Chiefs of staffs to make sure we are safe. We should think about Cyber security, space. It's not driven by politics. It's driven by what we need to keep America safe.[/color] [color=#333333]------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]ISRAEL AND IRAN[/color] [color=#333333]------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]Will you declare that an attack on Israel is an attack on the United States?[/color] [color=#333333]Obama- First of all , Israel is true friend, greatest ally. If it's attack, I will stand with Israel if they're attacked. We have created the strongest military cooperation with Israel.[/color] [color=#333333]As long as I'm President of the US, Iran will not get a Nuclear weapon. Their currency is dropped 80%. Their oil production has dropped. A nuclear Iran is a national security threat. We can't afford to have a nuclear arms race in the most volatile region in the world. Romney said we should take premature military action and that I won't approve.[/color] [color=#333333]Romney- First of all, I wanna underscore the same point. If I'm president of US, we will stand with Israel. We will have their back in the time of a threat. There is no question of a nuclear capable Iran. It's also essential to understand, we should dissuade Iran through peaceful means. Crippling sanctions do work. Absolutely the right thing to do. [/color] [color=#333333]I would tighten those sanctions. Ship that carry Iranian oil can't dock in our shores. Diplomatic Isolation effort is what I will do. We need to increase pressure time and time, to stop their nuclear folly. Military action is a last resort. If all other avenues are exhausted.[/color] [color=#333333]--------------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]DEAL ON IRAN[/color] [color=#333333]-------------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]What's the deal on Iran?[/color] [color=#333333]Obama - Our goal is to get Iran, recognize it needs to give up its nuke program. They have the opportunity to reenter the community of nations. We hope that their leadership will take the right decision. We're not going to allow Iran to perpetually engage negotiations that are going nowhere. The clock is ticking. If they don't meet the demands of international community, we will take all options necessary.[/color] [color=#333333]Romney- Iran feels administration is weak. When there are protests in Iran, the president was silent. They noticed that. An Iranian nuke is not acceptable. From the very beginning we should have tightest possible sanctions. We need to put the pressure as hard as we can so that we don't need to take military action. We're 4 years closer to a nuclear Iran. We should let no more time go waste.[/color] [color=#333333]-----------------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]Obama - Who's going to be credible to all parties involved. They can look at my track record. Democracy, women's rights, libya, etc.. we stood on the right side of history. [/color] [color=#333333]------------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]What If Israel says Our bombers on the way....[/color] [color=#333333]Romney - Lets not get into hypothetical questions. They're not going to make a call saying that.I see our influence diminishing. [/color] [color=#333333]Obama - Whether is Afghanistan , Iraq, etc.. you've been all over the map. I'm pleased you're endorsing our policy. 2 years ago, you said that's what you will never do.[/color] [color=#333333]--------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN[/color] [color=#333333]--------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]What do you do if deadline arrives, if afghans are unable to handle their security?[/color] [color=#333333]Romney - When I'm president, we will bring out our troops. We've seen progress. The training program is gaining pace. There are 350,000 to provide security. We will make sure they handle their security. We look at what's happening in Pak, and see there will be major impact in AF. Some people in our nation, pak is not being nice to us and we should walk away from it. Pak has 100 nukes and they will have more dangerous things coming if pak becomes a failed state. We should make pak a more stable govt and develop a better relationship. It is a need to help Pak move in right direction.[/color] [color=#333333]Obama - when I came into office, afghanistan was drifting for a decade. We surged troops , we are now in a position, and met many objectives that got us there in the first place.[/color] [color=#333333]That transition must be responsible. We and our coalition partners are pulling out giving afghans the necessary things they need. We should free up some resources. We should put americans back to work especially our veterans and they should get the care they need for PTSD, etc.[/color] [color=#333333]----------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]Should we divorce Pakistan?[/color] [color=#333333]Romney - No . We cant leave a nation which has 100 nukes. We should use drones, against people who are threat .The president is right to up the usage of that technology. We also note that we have to do more than just killing the bad guys. We should have comprehensive strategy to make nations move away from extremism. [/color] [color=#333333]Obama - We did better than just attack bad guys. We stood by Tunisia, etc.[/color] [color=#333333]---------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]NATIONAL SECURITY[/color] [color=#333333]--------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]What's the greatest future threat to national security of this country?[/color] [color=#333333]Obama - terrorist networks. China is both an adversary and both a potential partner, and my coming into office insisted china to do more on the international arena. [/color] [color=#333333]We setup a trade taskforce to go after traders for cheating. We went after china and we wont just about every case we filed. We had a tyre case where they were flooding us with cheap tyres. [/color] [color=#333333]Over the long term, we should take care of business at home. We should put money in research to create great busineses in united states. Romney's budgets would not allow to do these investments[/color] [color=#333333]Romney - Govt investments will help grow. Greatest security threat is nuclear iran. china has interest very much like us. They want stable world. They don't wanna see the world break out into chaos. They have 20 million people coming out of farms into the cities. We can be a partner with china. we can collaborate with them. they can look at us and say, how strong can they be? [/color] [color=#333333]We will also have trade relation with china that work for us. China has not played by the rules for a while. They are manipulating currency, stealing our intellectual property, etc..[/color] [color=#333333]-----------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]CHINA[/color] [color=#333333]----------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]If you declare it a currency manipulator , you might start a trade war?[/color] [color=#333333]Romney - no. there's already a silent war going on now. [/color] [color=#333333]-----------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]LAST WORDS[/color] [color=#333333]-----------------------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]Obama - You now heard 3 debates months of campaigning , way too many tv commercials, we made over the last 4 years, real progress, over 2 prolonged wars, worst economical crisis. Romney wants to take us back to that period.[/color] [color=#333333]I have a different vision for america. We will bring manufacturing jobs back to the shores. I wanna make sure we have the best education system in the world. We will develop Oil, natural gas sources and others. [/color] [color=#333333]I will listen to your voice and make sure America is the greatest country in the world..[/color] [color=#333333]Romney - I m excited. I wanna make sure take home pay increases. I will get people back to work with 12 million new jobs. I will get people off the food stamps by getting them jobs. I will be president who works across the isle. [/color] [color=#333333]I know what it takes to get the country back. This nation is the hope of the earth. We have been blessed by having the greatest nation. It's our turn to make it better. I will work with you. I will lead you in an open and honest way[/color] [color=#333333]I wanna be the next president and maintain the greatness of this nation. Thank you very much.[/color] [color=#333333]-----------------------------------------------------[/color] [color=#333333]GO VOTE!!!![/color]
