Obama is waking up after his bad debate of 2 weeks ago and it seems that the Obama camp liked the "joker" laughing stock attack of Joe "the Gaffe machine" Biden and wants now to go on the attack.

Does Obama really believes after all the tapes that already have been shown on tv how he (Obama) in the past had asked for more politeness....

Does Obama really believes by attacking a man with a record will make his record look better?

Does Obama really believes that the unemployed and students who had to move back in with their parents are still waiting for his hope and change which took all their change but left them without hope!

Btw to all the Obama lovers who believe that the signs vanished from the yards in Florida.....they first had to be there to be taken! .

It depends on how he attacks. If he fights with facts, that's a good thing--there's no reason to stand there and let someone else lie without making them accountable for what they say. On the other hand, making up attacks just to throw poop at a wall or not condemning people who make those attacks (you know, like calling someone a Kenyan/Muslim/terrorist/communist/socialist) is beneath him and unpresidential. Since I find it highly unlikely that Obama is going to do the equivalent of the Kenyan thing, like go after Mitt for having "magic underwear," I don't think it's going to be an issue. He'll just be doing what he should have done during the last debate.

Obama hasn't used any facts in the campaign so far, so I doubt he'll start doing it now. What he will do is gurgitate more lies, which you and the other campaign staffers will repeat as "truth."

As a Romney supporter I almost hope Obama "attacks."

This isn't Obama's strong suit and attacks look terrible in town hall debates. If he gets a question from an audience member and goes off on some long-winded diatribe he is going to look like a disenchanted politician with something to run from (like his record). Likewise, Romney doesn't need to be overly aggressive lest he run the risk of looking the same way.

Plus, from a personal standpoint. I hate debates when both parties just talk over and interrupt one another. It's annoying to watch.

Nah--no one can ever be as good of a liar as "multiple choice Mitt." During the last debate the fact checkers caught 27 lies in 38 minutes--you've got to admit, that takes real talent! (plus a sociopathic personality...) The guy will say anything to win. Obama just needs to hold his own tomorrow night, and to call Mitt out when he's full of BS. Again--calling someone out aggressively when they're full of it isn't an attack. It's called campaigning.

Romney is serving up a steaming helping of bull "stuff."

He deserves the Biden treatment, just like his lying weasel of a running mate.

He's going to come off unhinged and really reaching if his response to a genuine question from a voter is to attack Romney. The attack Romney meme is better suited for the last debate of course he probably wouldn't want to wait until then.

If Obama "attacks" = win-win for Romney voters.

You guys thought Biden was going to bomb too, but he came out swinging and completely shut down Romney's momentum, plus fired up the Obama base. It's not in Obama's style to be overly emotional, but I imagine he's going to make sure that he doesn't let Romney lies get past him this time. He screwed up once--I don't think he's going to screw up again. The great part is that he did so badly during the first debate that expectations are low, while they're really high for Romney. If you exceed expectations you win--if you greatly exceed them, you hit it out of the park. Romney is the one who has the most to lose this time, because if he doesn't live up to what he's done before, he fails.

I guess Obama will go the. " uhm,uhm, uhmmmmm" way and than starts to look at the public and gives an answer that is totally different than what was asked....
