I hope the moderator performs his correct duties.
The topics are right on subject matter.
I researched this so I could have more information on what exactly is to be discussed.
Will Obama still cover up his foreign policy, terrorist attack in Libya?
Bob Schieffer’s debate nightmare is running out of questions
“You know, I had this dream once, where it was before the 2008 debate, Barack Obama and John McCain. And in my dream, I said, ‘Well, gentleman, that’s all the questions I have.’ And I looked down and I had another half-hour to go!”
Schieffer, 75, added with a laugh about the final debate of the election season, “So I guess that’s my worst nightmare. But don’t worry, I have plenty [of questions].”

Schieffer stayed out of the fray and let them speak. I liked that he didn’t pull a Crowley!
