It makes me more sad about politics," said Brad Dyer a, Truman student. "I guess just seeing people's predetermined bias because I'm very independent. I like something's Obama does. I like his social policies.  I like Romney's economic policies, but it makes me sad people can't get along with this and can't give it breverity. 

"Romney should've taken a lesson from Regan and Bush in their reaction to Carter and 1980 when there was a conflict in Iran and say it's a time to united rather than create a political attack," said Jason Shaw a Truman professor.  

"It's unfortunate that immediately we sort of turn to the political aspect, which I don't think is really different from the past. Now, that we have social medial 24/7, news it's available much more quickly, but politics is politics," said Steven Kohner a Truman student.
