In reply to the discussion: Obama campaign: Adjustments will be made in debate strategy [View all]LynneSin
(95,337 posts)1. That's the first dumb mistake Obama has made in this debate

Obama should see Mitt as an evil person ... but he doesn't ... I doubt he sees anyone that way.

No "overreacting", BUT, now it is time to HIT BACK good and hard. He's already doing it.
