Eddie Pells of the Associated Press recounts the poignant exits of Andy Roddick and Roger Federer from the Flushing Meadows. He contrasted Federer’s temporary goodbye to Roddick’s definitive adieu after both tennis aces lost to Tomas Berdych and Juan Martin del Potro, respectively. Federer would most likely be back in the game next year, but Roddick has decided to make this year’s championship his last.

Pells described this momentous tennis event as “an emotion-filled afternoon that morphed into a shocker of an evening…” (click to expand) The drama which begun in the courts carried on later that night during the separate press conferences of the losers. While Federer seemed to have wanted the conference to end already with his clipped replies to questions about the victory of Berdych, Roddick took his time answering questions thrown at him, reminiscing about his first visit to Flushing Meadows. After all, it was the last day of his career as a pro tennis player.

Besides the heart-rending goodbyes, Pells also gave a rundown of the rest of the first champions of the 2012 US Open.

While this is obviously a question that cannot be answered definitively, as it is a matter of opinion, it seems that many believe it to have been Mitt Romney that came out ahead in the debates.

Popular opinion appears to sway towards Romney actually dominating most aspects of the debate; from preparation in order to be ready to command the issues that face our country, to his strong body language and even discussing the needs of individual families.

Many experts have said that he was obviously in control and made a commanding presence with regard to body language; meaning he never changed his demeanor in any way, kept his eyes on President Obama on every exchange and never displayed any type of a dismayed expression or any (disrespectful) eye-rolls.

On the other hand it has been said that President Obama did not appear to have the same control or commanding presence that Mr. Romney displayed. He seemed to look out over the audience more as if he were seeking support or some kind of guidance during Mitt Romney’s answers. He could often be seen smirking, looking irritated or disapproving. He never even looked at his opponent during an answer. Critics have even commented on his sartorial choice of wearing a blue tie that had small dots on it; Romney wore the traditional “power” tie of red stripes.

At the end of the debate Mitt Romney did direct one “zinger” at Obama stating “Mr. President, you’re entitled to your own plane and your own house, but you’re not entitled to your own facts.” But, perhaps it was summed up the best by Bill Maher who said “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter”.
