Trading up but at this hour it's 503.

Wanna start things off this morning with a look at last night's presidential debate.

Both President Obama and former governor Mitt Romney met the challenge head on they answered questions.

On a broad range of topics both man came out sweet fox business's Peter Barnes.

Was in the middle of it all he joins us live from Hempstead New York competed as it really matter everyone this morning dealing with who -- who won who won.

Does that matter to voters.

Well the polls well play out here of course.

Adam and but but I think that this was a political.

And policy cage match I have never seen anything like this in my thirty some years cover politics on and off the president.

Much more assertive in this than in the debate.

In the first debate out in Denver as his advisors had had promised them for ninety minutes the president and governor Romney mix that up over.

That the economy taxes.

Health care energy policy.

And even each others' investments.

Chinese investments in their pensions.

But it actually -- the president said it was a moment ago I didn't get a chance to when he was describing.

The Chinese investments and so -- Obama's record.

We are all right I'm not accept mr.

Karzai also speaking I'm happy I didn't believe that it missed this guys -- run around the -- I'm I'm I'm actually -- -- -- -- coming and everybody has -- -- -- get short.

See all these people they've been waiting that we could just get a -- appointment.

Any investments I have over the last eight years have been managed by a blind trust.

And I understand they do include investments outside the United States including it in Chinese companies Mr.

President if you look at your pension -- Have you looked at your pension I've got to start.

That mr.

Pettit president you looked at your pension.

You know -- I don't look at my parents is not as big as a resort good well I think litigation.

We've got the biggest of -- -- -- -- let me give you some advice that -- look at your pension you also investments in Chinese companies -- also investments outside the United States.

You also have investments -- king -- trash.

We're doing here where I don't China economist here predominantly rural rural and not completely off and don't know little about immigration.

There were several exchanges like that last night this was the only one that actually elicited any laughter.

A lot of this debate.

Was a very sharp and at point at points acrimonious.

Of the flash polls that we saw one.

Network flash poll gave this when to President Obama slightly by about seven points a second one.

Was -- between.

The president Romney and no clear winner -- Peter I understand it's been a late night for you and an early morning is well when you look at that clip that we just aired.

It looked as if both men were trying to it times in the debate.

Throw the other off whether it was with the interruptions or through the -- that the president got in that is specific instant didn't look like he rattled Mitt Romney Mitt Romney just -- right through.

To the pond and say that -- that's the way you have to handle this kind of stuff to they score points on either side when you go on the attack that way but -- handle the attack well.

Well sure on on -- style.

Level stylistically.

Both of them had to try to appear to be as assertive as possible but the president more so given that he was criticized so roundly.

Even by members of his own party as you know for being it.

Almost lackadaisical.

In -- Denver.

But also I thought that there were very substantive.

Policy.

Points scored here as well and listen both men want to make this election about.

A clear choice and they certainly gave it to the voters last night Peter brought -- appreciate your being up very early for us this morning we will be speaking review again and about.
