Romney goes on attack in presidential debate | WashingtonExaminer.com: Mitt Romney delivered a series of tough shots at President Obama's first term during Wednesday's first presidential debate, leaving the president on his heels for much of the night and potentially gaining badly needed momentum for the final stretch of the 2012 race.
There were no knock-out punches at the forum in Denver, but Romney framed Obama as incapable of turning around the economy, accusing the president of ushering in an era of "trickle-down government" that left Americans in need of a fresh path to the future.
"Middle income families are being crushed," Romney told the president. "The question is how to get them going again. Going forward with the status quo is not going to cut it with the American people who are struggling today."
Obama countered that Romney was promising an economic fairy tale in which he would cut taxes for all Americans, increase defense spending and stanch the flow of red ink overwhelming the national budget. Obama repeatedly hammered Romney for what he said would amount to a $5 trillion tax cut, including a break for the wealthiest Americans.
