It's a head fake.
I also think it’s a head-fake. I look for the following:
1) Obama will try to scare America by painting Romney as a war-monger, sure to lead us to nuclear apocalypse. He’ll try to pin Romney down on how to avoid end-of-world scenario with Romney’s approach on Iran.
2) Might bring up Romney statement on Benghazi as irresponsible or bad timing.
3) He’ll go after the 47%.
Romney should answer:
1) He would take the security of this country seriously and actually attend his daily briefings. According to a study by the Government Accountability Institute, Obama failed to attend a single Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) in the week leading up to the recent anniversary of 9/11.
2) Re: statement on Benghazi, he made a responsible statement that turned out to be the correct one. He should say that he WILL NOT go to Vegas in the middle of a foreign crisis.
3) On the 47%: Quote Obama: “And it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
Make the point that 75% of America are Christians and 30% are gun-owners thus Obama dissed 105% with his statement.
Yeah, why would we believe anything he says now? Despite his faults, Romney won't fall for this baloney.
