The strategy was for him to look Presidential. And it backfired, especially as Mitt lied and made him look befuddled.
Strategists admitted as much to Politico. It was a big mistake. In fact, the debate made the President look vulnerable, the opposite of the intention of the strategy. The President looks beatable. His base is frustrated and demoralized (I am sure temporarily) while Romney's folks are energized. |

But, I meant more of a medium-range strategy. I think, if it WAS an actual strategic move, we won't see its result for a week or so, until the next 2 debates. |

Incidentally, Big Bird has now been replaced by Tweety Bird as Tweety is willing to work for chicken scratch.

Today there has been a backlash like Obama finally gets it. Robme was being bullish and it showed. Unfortunately most voters don't get the nuances of body language or can tell a lie from spin. I do like what Obama has done today with his speeches.
The President can't do what he did, head down, not look at Robme, not look up from his notes in the next debate. He has to take Robme head on look him directly in the eye and tell him he's a lier.
