Obama During the Debate Needs to Tell It Like It Is

Romney's forte is he is a super salesman. He can talk and make people believe anything whether it is for their own good or not. Everyone has had the experience of being talked into purchasing something they really didn't need or want from a ruthless salesman.
I think what Obama has to do is call him out as such: "Romney is a masterful salesman and he will say anything to you to get elected. This is what Romney has done throughout his career. This is how he has made his fortune. Look at his record. Even by his own party he has been attacked as changing his positions depending on his crowd.
Don't fall for the salesman pitch. Do you really know what his positions are? I GUARANTEE you if you pick a topic, any topic, and you google Romney's position on it, you will find a different stance depending on his audience.
We are working our way out of the worst times since the great depression and are finally starting to see daylight. We have come to far to set our country back."

I really think if Obama can talk to the people on the next debate and convince the American People to connect or realize this salesman is giving them a snow job and to think this out before they act, Obama will get through to a lot of the undecideds.

not to need anyone to have to tell him the blatant GOP evils in their limited strategy. He should not need anyone to tell him how to respond. Nor in general what politics demand of an inspiring leader at any time.

The general problem of getting reamed by that olive branch superglued to his hand when the GOP gives the old twist. One sided bipartisanship cancels out. Net zero. Maybe pity?
