The most interesting part of the debate in my opinion was when Romney made the following statement in response to Obama's attacks on his foreign policy: “We're talking about the Middle East and how to help the Middle East reject the kind of terrorism we're seeing and the rising tide of tumult and confusion, and attacking me is not an agenda. It's not talking about how we're gonna deal with the challenges that exist in the Middle East and take advantage of the opportunity there and stem the tide of this violence.”

I thought this quote encompassed many people's opinion about the debates in general. Each candidate is guilty of pointing fingers at the other party and focusing on negative details when in reality they should be more concerned with the improvements they can make. When discussing very serious issues, the candidates tend to get caught up in petty details and often make it seem as though they are making light of the subject they are talking about. I think this occurred less often in this debate and I was pleased to see how they responded to each other, it made me take what they were saying more seriously.
