CNN ^

Washington (CNN) – After near-universal bad reviews of his first presidential debate with Mitt Romney, President Barack Obama will bring more energy and passion to his second showdown with the GOP nominee, advisers to the president said Sunday.

Yet the come-out-swinging attitude many Democrats crave could be hindered by the debate's town hall format, which requires a likability factor not completely compatible with aggressive attacks.

Obama debate agenda: Threaten rioting and/or civil war. Brazenly lie. Throw the entire nation under the bus.

Romney debate agenda: Advocate peace and unification. Just tell the truth. Throw Congress and Federal Agency heads under the bus.

I just found your comment that this regime, despite it's being stuck on power, actually cares about us interesting. You either suffer from cognitive dissonance, or you are abusing the correct expression, "couldn't care less."

So, you believe Obama and company actually do care about us? Huh. You may be on the wrong forum. Or your language skills are sloppy. Eh. Whatever. I couldn't care less.

The moderator, Candy Crowley of CNN, gets to review the audience questions beforehand, cut them in/out, and determine the order in which the questions will be asked. CNN is in the tank for Obama. If he wants to be aggressive, she’ll pitch him the questions he wants when he wants them. Hopefully, Romney is so skilled it won’t matter, but we’ll see.

Good luck with that . Last two debates this site was super duper ultra mega s l o w .

I've noticed. I couldn't even get on the site during the V.P. debate. Tried everything, but to no avail. I can only hope the site is up and running to snuff!

So, he's going to come out swinging.
He wants 'fore' more years.

“Come out swinging?” Terrifying. What’ll he be swinging - his purse?

In a townhall setting I imagine obama will automatically go into his preprogrammed Bill Cosby schtick.
