President Obama was on top of his game as he corrected Mitt Romney on numerous occasions throughout the debate.  The validation of the phrase "work by terrorists" by Candy Crowley spoken by the President following the tragedy in Libya, to the reference made by Romney of having a "binder full of women", blind trusts and the strong close by Obama on the 47% reference, illustrated the upper hand by the President in this debate.
