| US President Barack Obama and Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney are participating in the second round of national debate ahead of the November 6 elections. Here are the highlights:
•Obama: Have created 5 million jobs in the last four years.
•Romney: The middle class has been crushed over the last four years and jobs have been too scarce. There are 23 million people looking for a job. President Obama's policies haven't put Americans back to work. The unemployment rate was 7.8 per cent in 2008, and it is same now.
•Obama: Romney has 'one-point plan' to favour those at the top, says US President Barack Obama. Mr Romney's plan is to let oil companies 'write US energy policy', says Obama

I want to make sure we use our oil, coal, gas and renewable sources of energy but what we don't need is for the President to keep us from taking advantage of oil coal and gas. I'll make us more energy independent by bringing good jobs back to America.
