Foreign policy but every time youve offered an opinion youve been wrong. Our navy is smaller now than any time since 1917. We also have fewer horses and bayonets. The president appeared small and governor romney appeared president ial. Clearly, if you watched this debate, the president looked like the stronger guy. It felt like we went toy Foreign Policy debate and a domestic policy debate. I love teachers but i want to get our private sector growing and i know how to do it. I thmpg we all love teachers.

On cbs this morning he said he had a very big announcement about president obama that could cost him the election. Yeah . Hes going to endorse him. Captioning funded by cbs welcome to cbs this morning. Im charlie rose in new york Norah Odonnell is in boca raton with Bob Schieffer, the moderator. Candidates met last night face to face for the very last time. Instant poll shows president obama left the stage with an advantage, 53 of undeclared voters who watched the debate said the president won. 23 called governor mitt romney the which were while 24 called it a tie. Those voters also said mr. Obama would do a better job on terrorism and National Security. The margin was nearly 21. Also 71 said the president can be trusted to handle aN International crisis. 49 said that about romney. And the poll with his split 50 50 on who would do a better job on policy toward china. The men met last night with a lot on the line. Before the debate the president was leading by just two points, which is within the margin of error so it is a statistical tie. We begin with jan crawford in West Palm Beach with the Romney Campaign. Good morning. Reporter good morning, norah. Good morning, charlie. Good morning to those of you in the west. This was the first debate when both candidates left the stage happy. The president really hit romney hard. His supporters saw that he scored some points but romney held his own. His team told me after the debate they thought he more than passed the commander in chief test. I know you havent been in position to actually execute Foreign Policy but every time you have offered an opinion, you have been wrong. Reporter president obama attacked early and often, at time sounding almost dismissive. You mentioned the navy, for example. We have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military has changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers where planes land on them. We have ships that go under water, nuclear submarines. For much of the debate, the president was on the attack and both men acted as if mr. Obama were the underdog. Twice romney called him out on the attacks and instead of engaging often pivoted to the economy. Attacking me is not an agenda. Attacking me is not talking about how were going to deal with the challenges in the middle east. America must be strong. America must lead. And for that to happen we have to strengthen our economy here at home. You cant have 23 Million People struggling to get a job. Reporter when the two went head to head, romney pushed back. When you were asked whats the biggest geo political threat facing america you said russia not al qaeda. You said russia. And the 1980s are now calling to ask for their Foreign Policy back because the cold war has been over for 20 years. Excuse me. Gechlt o political, i said in the same paragraph and iran is the greatest National Security threat we face. Russia does continue to battle us in the u. N. Time and time again. I have clear eyes on this. Im not going to wear rosecolored glasses when it comes to russia or mr. Puttin and im certainly not going to say to him ill give you more flexibility after the election. Reporter a strategic decision for romney to generally take the high road and not engage on those attacks. Even on libya, romney specifically declined to hit the president. Instead, putting it in a broader context calling it his failed policies in the middle east. Not as heated in last weeks debate. Now off to nevada this morning, key swing state. He has a rally there with his running mate paul ryan. Lets talk about the debate with the man who was in the middle moderator Bob Schieffer, host of face the nation. First, bob, congratulations. It was a great debate between the two candidates where we got a full exchange of views. What was it like being there . Its very exciting. And its also i mean, youre just sitting there, and youre so close. You feel like you can well, you can. You can almost reach out and touch both of them. And you get to see the reaction when theyre looking at each other straight in the eye. And in a case where they would turn to me and lock at me for a while. But, you know, i thought he came off pretty well. My objective going into this, norah was to come away feeling that people got a better understanding of who these people were and what theyre all about. And i kind of felt like that may have happened last night. Whoa get to see their demeanor on camera the way theyre looking at each other in that split screen. You get to see them up close and personal. Is there a lot of tension between these two men . I dont think theyre going to be doing a lot of cookouts together with their families after the election. But, you know, i thought they handled themselves with great dignity this time around. This was spirited. The elbows were sharp. But i thought this was worthy of a debate about the presidency. And it also gives me a greater appreciation norah, of just how hard these problems are. Most of the easy problems have already been solved. Whats on the plate of the next president , whoever thats going to be are very very difficult things. As you saw last night on many of these issues theyre fairly close on it. But you also saw they think this election will be about the economy and both did everything they could to get it over to the economy and domestic issues whenever they could. Bob, you prepared hard for this. That was evident. What surprised you about the debate last night that was unexpected for you . I was i mean i did know this was a debate about Foreign Policy. I with his a little bit surprised, you know, as i just said, about the fact that both you know really did want to talk about economic issues. And i kind of let them go on that. They got into education at one point. And they went on about that for a while. Well you know, a lot of people like stan mccrystal, who used to be the commander of our forces in afghanistan, who think that education is the basis and the beginning of our National Security. And so i found that interesting, that they both wanted to talk about that. When we let that run for a while, i tried to get them back to more specific Foreign Policy question s questions. I found that quite interesting. To me, charlie, indicative of what they think the campaign ought to be about. This is their campaign. And i thought people ought to have an opportunity to see what they thought it should be about. As important as it was, some are suggesting that despite the president having won, that the governor passed certain tests he had to pass being president ial not making any mistakes and that he won in that way. And so now the crucial yes is, what do they do between now and election day . What do you think they have to do . Well, look i think both of these men are qualified to be president of the united states. These are two men, these are people of good values on both sides and theyre both intelligent men. Im not going to pick a president. Im going to leave that to the people to decide that. I thought we got a good and maybe a little better sense of who each of these men was last night. And so i felt in that sense i came away feeling pretty good about it. Bob hang with us for a bit. After the debate last night we got reaction from both running mates. First i asked Vice President joe biden about romneys claim that the u. S. Should do more to stop Irans Nuclear ambitions. Iran is more isolated today than it was when we took office. Iran has significant influence, not only in the shia world, but in the sunni world. And cowered their neighbors. The world was split on iran. We were viewed as somehow by the rest are of the world as being too unilateral. Today it is isolated. But the only thing that i heard maybe i missed something governor romney say tonight that he would have done it sooner. When, in fact before he was i dont know what he was saying before. Well governor romney in the past has been very top of your administrations handling of the security situation in benghazi libya and the protection of our diplomats there. Tonight he took a pass on that particular issue. I do have to ask you about a piece in the wall street journal this morning. They reported that the president was told in his president ial Daily Briefing for more than a week after that that the assault grew out of a spontaneous protest. And they did not change that assessment until september 22nd. I read that story and thought how is it that the contents of the president s daily brief is now in the pages of the wall street journal to help explain your administrations point of view . How could that happen . I dont know how that happened except i know that the head of the director of Central Intelligence said everything that the president said that i said that susan rice said that was stated was exactly what the talking points the Intelligence Committee was giving us and briefing us on. Lets now talk about the state of this campaign. Were just two weeks out from election day. The tone has changed a bit. You guys are now using terms like romneysia and sketchy to talk about romney and ryan. What happened to hope and change . Theres still a great deal of hope and change. Were also talking about the fact that 41 states the Unemployment Rate has gone down the houseing is starting to come back. We timely turned the corner. Laid out a plan as to how were going to create more jobs. The thing is that the attack ss being made by our friend seems to change every day. I mean they change their position. Theyve gone from ratelling the saber to carrying you know peace i dont know what they stand for. Romney and roin say these are petty attacks and theyre silly word game ss. Are they an indication youre worried because the polls have closed . A new poll out from cbs news in ohio that shows the president and your lead has been reduced from ten points to five points. Are you worried you may lose this election . No. Now look we knew this election you knew this, norah. Youre one of the most sop hichlt sti you knew this election was going to tight enen up, no matter who our opponent was. Its totally appropriate to point out that governor romney and congressman ryan have moved their positions drastically. They probably havent change edd them internally, but they keep running away from the idea theres not a 5 trillion tax cut. I mean these are things theyve been running on. This has been the staple of the new this republican party. Mass massive cuts in domestic spending. Significant increases in tax cuts for the wealthy and now now theyre saying no no no. No, no no. Thats not who we are. I think its totally legitimate to say who are you . On that note mr. Vice president , we have to go. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you norah. We also spoke with republican Vice PresidentVice President ial candidate paul ryan, who was also staying up late after the debate. I asked him if governor romney should have pushed harder on the libya issue. Its been a story of changing stories by the administration. We didnt want to go into all the litigation of it. What mitt romney wanted to do was lay out his vision for the country, how to have a stronger economy, which makes for a Strong National defense and Strong America. It seemed in the dough bait that governor romney seemed to be bending over backwards to agree with the president on multiple occasions, sort of saying he concurred with president obama. Why did he fail to draw some of the distinctions tonight . Well, there are some things where we do agree. We agree with the decision to go after Osama Bin Laden. We agree with the continuation of the bush drone policy. Those things, we agree with. Where we disagree is in the president s poor handling of the iranian situation. Iran is four years closer to a nuclear weapon. The administration fought us on sanctions in congress on a bipartisan basis for years until we finally got bipartisan support to overwhelm the president s position. Now we have the sanctions in place. We also disagree with the defense policy. This trillion dollar cut in defense will devastate our defense, make us weak project weakness. Mitt romney did a great job of contrasting that. But on military spending that was one of the sharpest exchanges in the debate. And president obama said this is not a game of battleship. But, yes, there arent as many ships but there arent as many horses and bayonets. Thats a pretty tough attack. To compare modern american battleships and navy with bayonets i just dont understand that comparison. Look, we have to have a strong navy to keep peace and prosperity and sea lanes open. The president s all these defense cuts go through, our navy will be smaller than it was before world war i. Thats not acceptable. The ocean hasnt shrunk. You still have to have enough ships to keep sea lanes open to keep our strength abroad where it needs to be. Can i ask you to talk about your position on syria . We have heard governor romney in the past say you would work to ensure that the opposition they need to defeat assads tanks, fighter jets. Does that mean you would be willing to supply the opposition with heavy weaponry . What weve always said is that we want to work with our allies in the region ss, the turks, saudis identifying the good allies in syria, fighting against the b aashar al assad regime. I have to ask you forgive me. The type of arms, when he said obtain the arms they need to defeat assads tanks, fighter jets, you need pretty heavy weaponry to defeat tanks and fighter jets. We already know that Free Syrian Army people in syria already have the kind of weapons to do just that. Here is the problem with delaying so long with going over a year and a half and not having loweredship. Bad actors are joining this fight. Al qaeda is coming into syria. What is your position on one on one negotiations with iran . You see a scenario where that could ever happen . Sure. Weve always said were willing to talk but were not going to take off sanctions or lessen anything. Whether multilateral or bilateral as an excuse to delay sanctions. Were going to keep pushing sanctions, have harder sanctions, all the list of thing that is governor romney said. If they want to talk, thats fine. Were not going to seize or put any kind of temporary hold on any kind of sanctions as a condition of talking. No preconditions. If they want to talk that is perfectly fine. Congressman ryan, thank you for joining us. You bet, norah. Bob schieffer is back with us. Two weeks to go before election day. What happens in these next two weeks . Or can you even focus on that . I have no idea. I have been so zoned in on trying to get this debate done and talking to people about it. I mean my clock kind of stopped at 10 30 last night. Have you ever seen it this tight at the end . No. No no. This is going to be very close and go right down to the wire. Youve got all kinds of things. Theres a real possibility you might see one win the popular vote and the other win the electoral vote. You could have an electoral tie, which means it goes into the house of representatives next year. There is just no telling what might happen. It might all come down as it did in 2000 to right here in florida. All i can say is theres not going to be a landslide this year. I would bet money on that. Im not betting a cent on anything else. Well be together on election night, following that. Bob schieffer, thank you. Congrats. And a good debate. Good job, bob. Two torpds ss ss ss tornadoes touched down Northern California monday knocking down trees and power lines, another struck south of sacramento damaging some buildings.
