Both sides definitely exaggerated / misled, but in my opinion Romney's were bigger exaggerations or more blatant lies. Granted I prefer Obama, but wish debates would have live fact checking or candidates would be called out for these so that truthfulness actually plays a large role in determining who won the debate.

Dude this comment is what I went to r/politics for... huge freaking mistake. Yeah I agree both of them misled. I was watching Obama's video the next day and he was till using that 5trillion dollar thing, but that doesn't upset me that much. I also think it's important for people to point out that Obama mentioned (last year) that he wanted to cut tax loopholes so on that front they are both even.

I think Romney isn't the man for the job, but I also am not of the opinion that the world is going to go to hell if he wins.
