He tells you everything you need to know about where he's coming from in his first point:

1) Be respectful and gracious to Romney — look at him while he is talking and listen to what he is saying — not because it is better than the appearance of disrespect you conveyed in the first debate by looking down and taking notes, but because he is a good man, a good dad, a good husband and a successful businessman and politician who is deserving of respect.

The rest of his advice is similarly awful. The core of his argument is that Pres. Obama should basically let Mitt run the debate again by not interrupting him, except when it's time to concede that he made some mistakes in his first term.

While we're at it, why don't we call Alan Colmes and see what advice he has for the president.
