As President Obama began to hunker down at a plush resort here for three full days of debate prep, his campaign team signaled the incumbent may steal a page from Vice President Joe Biden and show a more aggressive tone in Tuesday's second face-to-face showdown with Republican Mitt Romney.
"Gov. Romney has been making pitches all of his life and he knows how to say what people want to hear whether that was during his time at Bain or during the dozens of town halls he did during the primary," Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Saturday. "His running mate also left him vulnerable on a number of issues -- admitting there was a $5 trillion tax cut, after he denied it, but again failing to explain how they would pay for it, leaving women worried about their ability to make choices about their own health care and failing to articulate their plan for winding down our presence in Afghanistan."
It's significant that Psaki previewed the president's next clash with Romney with an immediate mention of his time at Bain, a word Obama never mentioned during the first presidential debate, in Denver.
Senior campaign adviser David Axelrod said on "Fox News Sunday" that Obama is making “adjustments” before the debate and plans to be more aggressive.
Axelrod also referred to Romney's investment capital career before entering politics.

Oh I so HOPE this news is true!!!
Attacking Romney is the WORST possible strategy Obama could use.
Romney is a master of the dodge and counter strike twice as hard.
Obama would be much better served to more or less ignore Romney and talk directly to the American people on what HIS plan is for turning the economy around in a 2nd Administration that he isn’t currently doing now
It’s still going to be difficult to look someone in the eyes when your lying to them. That’s the way it is for normal people anyway. Maybe they’ll let him wear sunglasses.
Proverbs 29:9 will be in full effect.
Feline nickname. First gay president, indeed.
Obama is that turd they are polishing. Shine away boys...shine away!
Let them stay in their delusions of thinking that they will some day find the clean end of a turd.
Hmmmmm guess the grins you gave Romney didn’t quite work in the first debate.
And... guess the manic laughs and insults of the Biden debate went over like a lead balloon...
What to do, what to do.
No teleprompter. Hmmmm...
No notes.... Hmmmm...
Guess your screwed.
Perhaps he is going to school Mitt on bankruptcy law and GM?
Pray for America
No one can teach Obamugabe to act like an assclown...he does it better than anyone.
I can take care of myself by myself very well. I'm not worried about my health care, I'm more worried about what will be imposed upon me.
I wish women would wise up and stop being used as a bargaining tool.
“Gov. Romney has been making pitches all of his life and he knows how to say what people want to hear...”
You gotta be kidding me.
Except...he doesn't have one.
ANY page from Biden will be a disaster .... go for it, Barry!
Mitt will make mince meat of the Harvard Law Review President! I wish Mitt could get into bankruptcy law...but he needs to stick with the big picture.
That said, I hope the courts can get into Obama's violation of bankruptcy law once he leaves office...
Obama is scum...but he did know how to overturn 200 years of good law in 1 day.
He is an evil genius...but he was schooled at such!
What a load of nonsense. Obama has been selling dope all his life in one form of another.
I have sold in many domains. I was always most comfortable when I knew the product, loved the product, and really believed in the product. Obama just plain and doesn’t believe in his product.
