PANIC: Obama camp calls on the Media for aid

[_bcspace]

Barack Obama's top strategist said that the campaign will take a 'hard look' at how to approach future debates in the light of last night's failure - and appealed to the media to challenge Mitt Romney on the issues which the President avoided in Denver.

All but stating that the Republican had won the debate, David Axelrod conceded that the performance aspect was 'not the President's strong suit in these events' but insisted that 'I don't see us adding huge amounts of additional preparation time.'

The remarks came after the Obama campaign was left reeling by Mr Romney's knockout performance in the candidates' first head-to-head clash, with polls suggesting that voters regarded the former governor of Massachusetts as the debate winner by a margin of more than two to one.

When is the media going to ask Obama any hard questions related to his 2008 campaign promises such as cutting the deficit in half or making him responsible for the 2 years his party had complete control of the government?

My wife thought it was funny that, as soon as the debate was over, the first words out of Wolf Blitzer's mouth were all the attacks that Obama should have made. She said it seemed like they were trying to make Obama's case for him because he didn't. Pretty lame.

On top of that, the Obama campaign has started to keep the media away from Biden.

Perhaps that's because, besides his usual gaffes, he's continually bringing up the fact that they want a trillion dollars of tax cuts to expire and, he keeps claiming, that it's so the wealthy can pay their fair share, when 1) taxing the wealthy (Democrats defined at $250,000 as we've proven earlier) even at 100% can't do it and 2) the Bush tax cuts effect more than just the wealthy. It's just not good for Biden to keep talking about it.
