13. The KISS principle. They are making this way harder than it needs to be.

On Medicare, all you have to say is

"The Social Security system is solid, and by the way Governor, people who paid into Social Security their whole lives are not 'takers'. With several very minor and simple tweaks, just like we did in 1992, the Social Security program will be solvent for another 75 years. We simply don't have to kill the system or privatize it the way Governor Romney wants to do."

Use Romney's vagueness against him. He may not have said that he absolutely would privatize the system, but he sure never said he would work to keep the current system in place and healthy. Make him own it. Don't try to agree with him on everything. Geez.

The problem with the first debate was not Obama's energy level or his "professorial" tone. The problem is that he didn't make Romney own anything.


Obama, you tries to compromise with these bastards for 4 years. The debates are not about more compromise. The debates are about showing clear lines of distinction. The lines are all right there. You just have to use them.
