Fireworks as Obama, Romney clash on jobs, energy

US: President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney clashed fiercely Tuesday in their second election debate, interrupting each other half-a-dozen times and accusing each other of dishonesty.

Both White House hopefuls were on their game, as they fought over job creation and energy policy, 11 days after their first debate, which was generally regarded as a lackluster affair. Romney, the Republican challenger, battled the debate moderator to insist on getting the last word on energy policy, after the Democratic incumbent butted into his answers to declare: “That's just not true, Governor Romney.”
