3. How about debunking Myth Romney's never-ending supply of BS, lies & distortions.

That would be an excellent place to start.

5. Well I'm Thinking That Rmoney Might Have Made A Tactical Error With His FP Speech Today....

Now they got Rmoney on the record as to his thoughts on foreign policy. He won't be able to lie himself around any issues at the debate and if he does flip-flop on anything they will have him dead to rights on his flip-floping because of this speech today.

9. He will do the same stuff. He is aggressive, angry, and a bully.

The best thing Obama can do is to dismiss him. Treat him like the biting fly that he is, and blow off his lies while calling him on it. Some thing simple like "Governor, THAT was not your position ten days ago. You change your positions like I change my shirts." and then move on. It will

1) Make Mitt angry which will lead to him being himself

2) Make Obama look in charge and Mitt look like the yapping ankle biter dog that he is.

10. That's an interesting question.

I keep wondering whether Romney will continue with the lie-fest, figuring (a) he'll put Obama off his game, and/or (b) he's got nothing else anyway, so may he as well go for broke.

OR, if Romney is having his staff put together some actual facts and figures to throw around, so that the fact-checkers won't have another lengthy list of lies to tear apart after-the-fact.

On foreign policy (of which Mitt knows nothing), I'm fully expecting him to try and turn the discussion around continuously to talk about what he thinks Obama has handled badly, rather than detail his own ideas (of which he has none.)

I am also figuring that Obama's team is gathering info on what Romney said, and where and when. So that when Mitt pulls his "I never said that" routine, Obama will be ready to counter with, "Excuse me, sir, but you said exactly that in front of a crowd in Michigan just three months ago," etc.

It'll be interesting, to say the least ...

11. Romney will go on and on about women this and that in the middle east.

Obama is in a tough position because he has been dealing with the people in the middle east as they and their beliefs exist today while Romney has not had to deal with them so he can paint a picture of his foreign policy that helps women and girls a great deal and a hell of a lot more than the people of the middle east are willing to move today. Obama is tied down by the reality on the ground for the last 4 years. Romney is free to try and get the women's vote in the USA through the very real threat of what does or could happen to women's rights in middle east. I hope Obama can get out of such a trap. It goes without saying that Obama wants great women's rights in the Middle East but that message may be lost if Obama isn't careful.
