He said it himself: "I was too nice." In politics as in boxing, nice guys finish last. Americans want to see STRENGTH IN LEADERSHIP. This is the guy who took out Bin Laden. Now he needs to POLITICALLY take out the ULTRA ROTTEN LIAR MITT-TWIT ROBME.

Yeah, and one lousy debate caused the "guy who took out Bin Laden" to lose to the "ULTRA ROTTEN LIAR MITT-TWIT ROBME"?

People are selling swill!

There are a lot of polls out there that do no show a drastic change in the race. Hell, the tracking polls have all been a one-or two-point race.
