3. Problems I saw: Obama's closing remarks were odd

He mentioned something about Romney would agree that he is imperfect. Not the right tone.

Romney mentioned the 718 billion taken from Medicare 2-3 times and Obama didn't respond.
I know there was so much shit being thrown against the wall by Willard that it was hard to pick out what to attack but I think Obama played Nice Guy too much for undecideds who look for strength.

He also essentially complemented Romney about social security and how they'd both treat it the same way. That is not helpful in defining the Repuke plan to destroy the safety net.

I thought Obama won because Romney like a bully but it looks like that doesn't get demerits in punditland. This perceived "weakness" of Obama was a problem with Democrats around the tax cuts for the rich last year, I think he has to turn that around to get people to the polls.

And I think he knows that.
