Obama Says Debates Could Shake Up Race

President Obama told the AP that the moment that could finally shake up a close president race "could come in the three debates Obama and Romney hold in October. The president said Romney could run into trouble because of arguments that are not backed up by facts, citing a widely debunked television ad campaign in which Romney accuses Obama of gutting the work requirement in the federal welfare law."

Said Obama: "It will be a little tougher to defend face-to-face."

Sounds like the President is eager to debate Rmoney.

rMoney will just lie to his face. A good republican would never let a little thing like the truth stand in their way. The more asinine rMoney comes off, the more the base will applaud him for standing up to that evil black guy.
