Debate Side By Side

A feistier President Barack Obama faced off against Republican Mitt Romney in their second presidential debate, held Tuesday at Hofstra University in New York.

The rivals disagreed about taxes, measures to reduce the deficit, energy, pay equity for women and health care issues.
   
During the debate, Obama said the responsibility for what happened at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, falls to him, and to no one else.

Romney said the president's team either didn't know all the details - or didn't tell the truth - about the deaths of four Americans there immediately after last month's terror attack.
   
Obama and Romney also clashed over immigration, with Romney accusing Obama of failing to reform the immigration system during his first term.

Obama said that Romney has opposed the DREAM Act, a bill that would have provided a path to legal status for many young illegal immigrants.
