Obama expected to 'come out swinging' at Tuesday's debate
CNN ^

Posted on 10/14/2012 3:14:37 PM PDT by Arthurio

Washington (CNN) – After near-universal bad reviews of his first presidential debate with Mitt Romney, President Barack Obama will bring more energy and passion to his second showdown with the GOP nominee, advisers to the president said Sunday.

Yet the come-out-swinging attitude many Democrats crave could be hindered by the debate's town hall format, which requires a likability factor not completely compatible with aggressive attacks.

Can you imagine those two egos in the same room?

Neither one of them can even own up to the real facts of their pathetic lives

If Obama gets angry, and that is a real possibility, he loses. All those years of radicalism are still inside him, buried, but not too deeply. He’s thin-skinned. He feels persecuted. He’s on the defensive. He doesn’t have his TelePrompTer.

But the biggest problem he has... the one that is taking the worst toll... is that his record is a total bust. It cannot be defended, but he has to try.

Now, Romney knows all that. I would be very surprised if Mitt’s debate prep has not included studying one or two psychiatric profiles of Obama. What’s more, whether he uses the eligibility issues or not, I am sure he has examined the evidence quite closely, and in consultation with legal experts.

IF somehow, a related question on eligibility were to be slipped into the Townhall pack, the results could be very interesting...

I am more impressed than ever with Romney’s sheer brainpower. We shall see...

I truly believe Romney will be ready for that scenario.

This is not a man who gets ambushed often

LOL! Come on. "Piano Man?" Obviously you haven't drowned your sorrows at a bar very often! As for Kinkade, "Kitsch is king!"

I’m expecting what usually happens when you put a nancy boy and an alpha male together and have them slug it out.

BUT, expect Obama at the start to go way overboard eulogizing the late Sen. Specter, as an example of “bipartisanship” and “civility” he’ll decry has been “lost” this election cycle...

If Romney comes on like a typical CEO in front of a company’s employees right after a layoff (”employees are our most important asset!”), he’ll lose.

So will Obama be swinging his purse or his high heels?

Comes to mind the ‘girlie man’ who was always trying to fight in that late night Saturday night program. Mad Magazine or SNL.

Sorry, but the lefties' fantasy of having Ø 'come out swinging' is absolutely incongruous with the pussy reality of that skinny little fag boy.

Romney caught them be surprise the first time ..

That first debate was what, an hour and a half ?
Plenty of time for most anyone with an actual message to get squared away and recover, especially with the 'moderator' already on side.

Truth is, the miserable marxist git is, and always has been, nothing but a vapid, scripted tool with a ghost writer in the putrid hole where 'his' soul should be.

A extra few $$s to the FReepathon if I'm wrong, but Romney's gonna clean the little faggot's clock again !

The “angry black man” routine.

Obviously, that would backfire, especially in a townhall format. Let's hope he actually adopts that routine.

Romney needs to be ready for the 47%. Bring up O’s bitter clingers remark 75% Christian + 30% gun owners = 105%.

And I think he needs to watch for an ambush on “the details”. They keep hammering him on that. Did O give Obamacare and bailout details in 2008?
