LAS VEGAS Even at a resort hotel, President Obama says spending all day prepping for a debate "is a drag."
"They're making me do my homework," he said in a phone call with a political volunteer during a visit to his campaign field office in Henderson, about a 30-minute drive from his debate camp at Lake Las Vegas.
He said the debate preparation was going great, but "basically they're keeping me indoors all the time."
But they did allow him to take a break and drop by his local campaign storefront. He walked in with six pizzas as a way of saying thanks to the 20 or so volunteers there.
"I know everybody has been working really hard," he said, though he mistakenly said there were 34 days left to the campaign. His volunteers knew there were 36 days left.
"Whatever it is," he said, "it's really coming up quick." He said the race in Nevada was going to be "be close all across the country."
Can Romney redefine himself in this week's debate? Obama holds slight lead ahead of debate Obama camp plays down debate expectations Let the debates begin He also sounded like he was worried about some kind of October surprise surfacing during this month.
"There are going to be a number of other things we can't expect over the next couple of weeks," he said. He didn't elaborate, but he delivered a decidedly optimistic refrain.

I’ve just got feeling he’s going to crash and burn during this debate.
lol....great post !
Why thank you, FRiend! :-)
No, because they were bean sprout/hummos/carrot pizzas.
On multigrain flaxseed crust.
I believe he probably did buckle down a little in the last campaign. Simply because it was exciting and he was getting off on the crowds and massive accolades he was receiving. He doesn't have the capacity for it anymore, it's gotten old and like everything else in his life he feels entitled to it.
Agree except for the part about the last election. He didn’t even need to as a) McCain was an idiot and a terrible campaigner and b) the financial crisis/collapse swept him into power with the “change” wave.
You can really see this entitlement mentality when he is challenged. He HATES it. He thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room and has, as you mention, always been coddled and told how brilliant and wonderful he is. He simply cannot fathom that by merely gracing us with his presence that we can possibly disagree with him. It has to be racism.
Zero likes the “idea” of being The President. Like someone wants to be a good guitar player or a good golfer it takes hard work to get there and stay there. If you don’t do the hard work your never going to be good at anything. He is the worst President ever!
It is his galt’s gulch.
