I think not......
Its obvious that Obama did not want to get into a street fight with
Romney tonight. My guess is that he wanted to show above the fray
presidential behavior , so that the next time he can say he tried
conducting himself in a proper manner, but from here on in the gloves are coming off!
Lets hope I'm right!

(10,942 posts)Some people that were itching to go cast their vote for President Obama in Ohio tomorrow will wait for another day. The President's performance was disappointing, letting Romney get away with lie after lie.

of lead no matter who the rep. nomination was. Especially with the obstruction
and 8.1% unemployment numbers.
Even though this was a bad eve. for us, I still like our chances, big time.

(14,923 posts)I believe it was tactical to keep Obama's powder dry tonight (unless provoked) on being baited into exchanges with Mitt as well as being cautious about naming Ryan in the debate too often. Its the first debate and you don't want to spike too early cuz its all downhill from that point on. The real smash-mouth exchanges on issues and campaign lies will rear its head on the evening of the Biden/Ryan debate. I believe that debate will be a rude, dirty politics street fight exchange.

(904 posts)i was expecting the Pres. to be more combative and was disappointed he wasn't but I'm rethinking that. Pres. Obama was cool and calm and managed to stay above the fray, looking very Presidential and in command. Romney seemed almost desperate at times, stuttering and looking very uncomfortable. The expectation for Romney was so low that just showing up makes him a winner in some people's eyes.

because he really doesn't give a shit about anything except winning,
no matter what kind of lying and cheating it takes.
Biden has a lot of pride honor and dignity and might not be able to handle the
slick lying prick. I hope I'm wrong...
