Why didn't he take off the gloves?

1. And be damned out of the gate for being the president who is the angry black man? n/t

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

7. I'm tired of hearing that. Be damned then. He will be anyway.

[mzmolly]

2. Because he did not need

to.

3. Because he used the same strategy in 2008 against a very similar, aggressive candidate

and it worked -- despite the same insistences then that it wouldn't.

4. b/c he's a lover, not a fighter?

[Barack_America]

5. Who wears gloves to play chess?

[rocktivity]

6. Because if he had, your question would be

Was he TOO aggressive and "street"?

8. Don't bullshit me with concern troll labels.

I would rather he had been aggressive...at least as verbal sparring goes.

11. 'zactly n/t

9. Because he won't be baited

Into appearing to be the angry black man they are trying to make hay of with the video re-release and media play. He is giving Romney enough room to hang himself. Obama did seem like he wasn't on his A game, I have confidence that he will come out of this fine.

10. Again, that BS is wearing thin. He doesn' have o be angry to get tough.

By your logic only the white man can be tough, or act angry.
