Hopefully, this will be like a Rocky movie

Act 1: complacent, out of shape Rocky gets his ass kicked by a more aggressive, hungrier fighter.

Act 2: Rocky gets his shit together and comes out swinging.

Let's not kid ourselves--Obama sucked last night. Unprepared for basic stuff like "tax cuts make jobs happen" and "what is the role of government?"

He doesn't get a chance to throw another punch for a while, but he needs to show he's training harder and better having learned a very painful lesson.
