the national journal reported after the first debate that one of the reasons the president failed in that first debate is a posity of ideas of what he wanted to do in the future and that didn t hold up 90 minutes in a real debate with mitt romney face-to-face. not a lot has been asked of him on his plans. a lot has been asked of mitt romney, he gets details every day. i don t think the president gets those much, and he runs a challenger s campaign even though he s been the president at four years. mark hal principal of the times said where is the second term agenda. he said hey, it s been a rough four years. that is not a good line for an incumbent. romney thought he could run as the anti-obama, they added ryan to the ticket, adopted this large vision and got a lot of hard questions about it. obama has decided he s going to run as the anti-romney and i m not sure that is a great up lifting sale in the last closing weeks of this election.
