The first question in this final Presidential Debate: Can we be as safe as we were?

The question is wrong.

We were never safe. We haven't been since Pearl Harbor. Even before that we had homegrown riots, bombers, and assassins. Safety isn't possible. Nor should it be.

Can we do things to stay safer? Yes. We're doing them. Not as well as we should, but the mechanisms are in place. The most important thing for us all to remember is that these provisions were in place before the PATRIOT Act.

Edited to add: The gay marriage question is producing some weird rhetoric.

Bush: We need to teach children to read, write, and subtract early.

Which may be true, but sounds really strange.
