It’s great that NPR made available the entire debate, and Pamela posts it to fact-checking. The last statement Mr. Romney made reveals how he plans to do all. He said he can do but didn't say how. It's maybe a weakness. Secondly, Mr. Romney mostly describing records that President Obama inherited. There was high unemployment long before President Obama took office, the U.S. housing market was sitting on a bubble that was inflated before Obama took office, and gas prices were about the same in 2008. Thirdly, many figures Mr. Romney attributed to President Obama's failures are tend to be untrue.
