How do you handle an aggressive bully who lies? What advice would you give

[apples and oranges]

to Obama for the next debate? Is it possible for the visual dynamics to change in the next debate, considering Romney's natural inclination towards bullying and Obama's naturally calm demeanor?

1. Wait for the deconstructions over the next day or two. That will guide any "advice giving."

I still want to see Mitt RMoney asking Dick Cheney to kill Big Bird for him.

He can only handle small "varmints" like Oscar the Grouch, and that's only if he borrows a weapon from one of his smarmy little kids....

2. Use footage of the lies and flip-flops in commercials

3. I think he handled it just right, the more Romney talked the more I could see

he was lying.

4. Hoist him by his own petard

Which is exactly what will happen.

5. You call their lies out, and you do so repeatedly, and you don't back down.

My ignore list is so long because I don't let the lying bullies push me around here.

6. Obama should award Pinocchios and Unicorns for every lie and fantasy.

He should keep track of every lie and every fantasy each time Romney talks and then start each of his own responses with a tally of Pinocchios and Unicorns for Romney. I could probably think of a hundred other things to do, but I'm in a deep funk of despair over Obama's passivity tonight.

7. I think he needs to put his attorney hat on and question Romney like he's a witness on the stand...

"Governor, during a campaign speech in _________ did you say_________? A simple yes or no Governor." "Governor, would you agree that what you said during that speech differs from what you are saying here tonight? If not, please explain.
