By Robert Reich — The third and last presidential debate was a clear win for the President. He displayed the authority of the nation’s Commander-in-Chief – calm, dignified, and confident. He was assertive without being shrill, clear without being condescending. He explained to a clueless Mitt Romney the way the world actually works.

By E.J. Dionne, Jr. — As he tries to engineer a comeback in this week’s presidential debate, President Obama needs to recognize two things.
