There are several reasons why Obama looked so lifeless in the first debate: All but the last I think are good points........his anniversary was the nite of the debate. I would also add that rather than coasting I think it was part of his strategy.........trying to look presidential and not the angry Negro. In 2008, he caught a lot of flack when he accused H. Clinton of being likeable enough. There was anger and disdain in his voice when he said it and people didn't like it. He has to walk a fine line..........Charlie Cook, the noted politico and Republican, says nearly the same in his article yesterday: Obama’s challenge is to recalibrate his strategy for the next debate. He must be more aggressive, but going too far risks not coming across as presidential. It is a very fine line that he will have to walk. nationaljournal.com I think it would be a mistake if Obama pulls a Joe Biden. I think he needs to unmask Romney's lies without appearing to aggressive and angry. It will be a tough one but I think he is up to it.

You are a bold person. YOur point number 4 is what we all are thinking and you had the courage to come out and say it. Anyway, after last night's debate, the Democrats have built up "Joementum" csmonitor.com It was a home run when right after Ryan blasted the stimulus, After Ryan blamed Joe for the failure of the stimulus as chair of the committee to oversee the stimulus spending, Joe did not hit back at him directly. Instead, he looked in the camera, pointed to Paul and said how he had written to him asking for stimulus money and even praising it that it would create jobs. THat was the "hands in cookie jar" moment I think. Joe missed a moment when Ryan told him that stimulus money created jobs in China where solar panels were built. That was his moment to hit back on folks taking jobs overseas which Obama has been speaking against. Anyway, I am eagerly waiting for the lion to roar on Tuesday.
