WILLIAMSBURG, Va. As President Obama began to hunker down at a plush resort here for three full days of debate prep, his campaign team signaled the incumbent may steal a page from Vice President Joe Biden and show a more aggressive tone in Tuesday's second face-to-face showdown with Republican Mitt Romney.
"Gov. Romney has been making pitches all of his life and he knows how to say what people want to hear whether that was during his time at Bain or during the dozens of town halls he did during the primary," Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Saturday. "His running mate also left him vulnerable on a number of issues -- admitting there was a $5 trillion tax cut, after he denied it, but again failing to explain how they would pay for it, leaving women worried about their ability to make choices about their own health care and failing to articulate their plan for winding down our presence in Afghanistan."
It's significant that Psaki previewed the president's next clash with Romney with an immediate mention of his time at Bain, a word Obama never mentioned during the first presidential debate, in Denver.
Senior campaign adviser David Axelrod said on "Fox News Sunday" that Obama is making adjustments before the debate and plans to be more aggressive.
Axelrod also referred to Romney's investment capital career before entering politics.
We expect Governor Romney will have a great debate too," he said. "He is a great salesman. That is what he did as a professional, he is very good at it.
Later Sunday, Psaki noted women's health-care issues were left out of the first debate, which appeared to suggest Obama would raise the topic this time.

Attack Mitt Romney for “pretending” to be a conservative, instead of, actually, being a conservative. This would turn off many voters. The Left v.s. The Left, in the ongoing race for ‘12 POTUS, will, always, be unacceptable to non-leftist voters! The left has, already, won the race for ‘12 POTUS!
Obama will yammer on about Romney "slashing jobs" while at Bain (ignoring of course all the businesses Romney helped rescue, and the jobs he actually saved). And never mind the fact that hundreds of thousands, and maybe even millions will lose their jobs because of Obama's defense cuts...
I bet that Obama comes out swinging, but all he’s going to connect with is air.”””
“I coud’a been a contender!!!”
LOL! I thought I was the only one that remembered that! WTF was Gore thinking, wandering away from his podium and hulking like a gorilla. I loved how Bush just kind of nodded in disbelief and continued.
