YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWatch the entire Democracy Now! exclusive "Expanding the Debate" on foreign policy
In the last of our exclusive "Expanding the Debate" series, we bring you highlights of our coverage of last night's final presidential debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney, with the added voices of third party candidates. As Obama and Romney faced off for the last time before the general election, we once again broke the sound barrier by inserting Jill Stein of the Green Party and Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party into the discussion. In an evening focused on foreign policy, both Obama and Romney shared wide agreement on issues including support for the Israeli government, the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, and opposition to U.S. military involvement in Syria. But they clashed over a few key points, including military spending, negotiating with Iran, and responding to the Libyan embassy attack. Before a live audience in San Rafael, California, we aired the Obama-Romney debate and paused the tape to give Stein and Anderson a chance to respond in real time to the same questions put to the major party candidates.
