Yup. Quite the double standard.

I don't think it's about "attacking." Obama just has to show some emotion and passion tonight. He came off as looking tired and passive in the last debate. He can't do that again.

Because these people are utter idiots. I couldn't care less about them.

I do want to see Obama interrupt and question EVERY falsehood and flip-flop that Romney is guaranteed to use, and of course with facts. Obama's weakness in the first debate was to be respectful and assuming of the viewers being aware of facts. Instead, the same old talking points we've seen over last four years were deemed "great".

I agree. I thought Obama seemed very, very distracted at the last debate. His mind was clearly elsewhere.

I am expecting to see him more focused and fully engaged with the audience and Romney tonight. He really needs to be.

Romney will be ready for this, he is a slick business dude with years of experience screwing people over.

I think Obama would best be polite and exact.

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! .
Nothing factual in the OP.
Why am I not surprised?

And the voters are intelligent enough to know that a person does not have to be a great debater to be a good president.
