I am starting to think Romney basically woke up Obama, and is looking at ass kicking next week!!!

I was disappointed in Obama's performance. But after seeing Clinton talk today, and hearing Axelrod and Obama talk about being too polite, I think Romney is going to be in a world of hurt next week.

This guy will show up next week!!!

Hell, I am looking forward to an Angry Black Man! Sometimes an idiot like Romney will not understand anything else.

that said, i'm sure they're aware of the tightrope he must walk if he is to pursue that strategy.

he has to stand up to rmoney's lies and bullying, but he CANNOT come across as an "angry black man".
the standard bigotry is bad enough; playing into a bigotted meme would be political suicide.

I know he is trying to appear cognizant of the still recovering economy, but he has to take credit for saving the economy and tell us more about his vision for the future!

Or is this just carryover of the old, tired, worn-out misinterpreted statements from Rahm/Gibbs and trying to tag POTUS with it...even at THIS point in time?

Seriously....all he needs to do is be his most enthusiastic self...the way he is at speeches in front of a crowd of thousands.

I don't want him to try and be something he's not...leave the shape-shifting to Romney!!

a lyin' liar will be called.

didnt happen.

they went after obama.

if obama had come out on attack they would have gone after him. they were all over his smirk the night of debate, until romney had his position in win with the debate and they let that go. any more, and media would have been all over obama.

now that media has well called obama out for being too nice, they have ok'ed the angry black man, you are correct. and i am good with that, too.
