While President Barack Obama focused on promises kept and promises worth keeping in his presidency, Mitt Romney highlighted his plans with stark contrast to Obama's and attacked the president's track record in the closing remarks of today's first presidential debate.

"We were going through a major crisis, and yet my faith and confidence in the american future is undiminished," said the president.

Instead of focusing on specifics, Obama showed how he had "fought" for the American people and would continue to do so if re-elected.

However, Romney chose a much darker view, starting out by saying he was "concerned" about America and clearly outlined his plan of overturning multiple Obama-term policies, including Obamacare and cuts to the military.

"I know this is bigger than an election between two of us as individuals," said Romney, who also highlighted the multiple months of unemployment and his ideas to incude state-run healthcare instead of national healthcare.
