Senator Diane Savino and Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis watched and rated last night’s Presidential debate together. Take a look at what they had to say to [SI Live](http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2012/10/post%5F350.html?ref=bklyner.com) about the highs and the lows of the battle between President Barack Obama and former Governor Mitt Romney and see if you agree.

Malliotakis gave Obama a C.

> Reason: On the defensive talking about what should be done, but he’s had four years.

> Best moment: Saying he’s fond of the term “Obamacare,” making light of one of his administration’s worse moments.

> Worst moment: He seemed flustered responding to Gov. Romney’s points on the economy and health care.

Romney got an A.

> Reason: Knowledgeable, passionate and to the point.

> Best Moment: Calling out the president for wasting two years on Obamacare instead of fighting for jobs.

> Worst Moment: A bit too eager and overly agitated when responding to the president’s misrepresentations.

Savino gave Obama a B.

> Reason: He was a little stiff in his presentation.

> Best moment: When he spoke about the strength of the American people in spite of any adversity.

> Worst moment: He allowed Romney to mistakenly say several times that he cut $716 billion from Medicare.

Romney got a B as well.

> Reason: He did better than everyone expected.

> Best moment: His critique of time wasted on Obamacare when the president should have been focused on jobs.

> Worst moment: When he said he’d cut programs if it wasn’t worth borrowing money from China to fund them.
