The President used his personal history to bolster his arguments about Medicare and Social Security, talking about his grandmother who lived alone while a widow but who 'could only [do it] because of Medicare and Social Security.'

He also insisted that the entitlement programmes were 'structurally sound' and did not need radical reform - but Mr Romney countered that serious change was necessary to ensure that the plans are 'there for the long term'.

 Both promised that they would not cut benefits for older Americans but sharply disagreed about options for younger workers.

Obama says he is cutting down on excessive payments in the system so the program survives for future generations. Romney calls those cuts a slashing from seniors' care to pay for Democrats' health care law. The pair aired their well-known disagreements over Obamacare - and when Mr Romney used that politically loaded term, he apologised to his opponent, who replied, 'I like it.'

The Republican attacked the President for 'spending two years fighting for Obamacare instead of fighting for jobs', and claimed that business owners had told him they had had to stop offering insurance to their employees because of the controversial healthcare law. Mr Romney suggested that his own Massachusetts reform should serve as a model for the nation as a whole - but Mr Obama pointed out that many of his law's key provisions had been based on Mr Romney's equivalent legislation.
