Obama camp tips hand on debate, hints president will attack Romney on Bain

Bill Laer actually did a good job with this. I don't expect as much from CNN's Crowley.

Agreed - I expect full two-on-one situation with Crowley and Obama teaming up on Romney.

This would not be a problem if the questions were from the public. Instead, the questions are being sent in to Crowley and she will "pick" the ones to be allowed to hit the floor. And then she reserves the right to 'follow up' as soon as Romney finishes his answer.

I just know it will be fair - after all, a 'journalist' is in charge. :roll:

I think if Romney explained any, ANY, part of his plan, we all would be shocked. Since he hasn't explained it by now, I very much doubt he will during the debate.

I keep hearing this mantra as if it actually was a valid point. No politician has EVER given the kind of details the DEMs are demanding Romney provide.

In fact we don't know the details of Obama's 'plan' - that is if he has one - and HE as been in office almost four years.

What a candidate does is put forth a 'plan' that consists of core principles that will guide his policy. You are aware of course that a 'plan' has to be hammered out by congress. Romney will tell them -
"Here are the principles that must be honored in the budget. If what you send me falls short, I will veto it."

Hell, Obama himself doesn't even KNOW what the 'details' of his own plan are - he let Pelosi and Reid, the ignoramati, write his health care bill and neither he, nor they, knew the details of THAT abortion. Green eye-shade wimps in dark corners wrote that crap under direction from the Bid Money folks funding the Obama campaign.

Obama has never been able to explain the "details" of his own budget enough to lure even ONE of his OWN DEMs to cast a vote for it.

Demanding "details" from a candidate on something as complicated as a federal budget of a trillion dollars in a two-minute real time setting is beyond stupidity.

What anyone who is interested wants to know is "what principles will you enforce in framing a budget?"

Anything else is hyperbolic crap.

When you talk about cutting that much revenue from the budget, you need to be able to explain how you are going to make it up. From what I can tell, there is a fair amount of that budget that is relying on job creation, which is fine, but I want to know how that will affect me. Seems like a fair question to ask a Presidential/Vice Presidential candidate.

Conservatives, on the other hand, always call out their own guys when they're being douchebags, right?
