President Obama Insists ‘Fundamentals’ of Election Favor Him Despite ‘Bad Night’ at Debate
WASHINGTON – President Obama says the “fundamentals” of the 2012 presidential race remain unchanged following a weak debate performance in Denver that rattled his supporters and gave fresh momentum to Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
“Governor Romney had a good night. I had a bad night. It’s not the first time I’ve had a bad night,” Obama said in an exclusive conversation with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer, his first televised interview since the debate.
Asked by Sawyer whether it was possible his performance had handed the election to Romney, Obama said, “No.”
“What’s important is the fundamentals of what this race is about haven’t changed,” he said. “You know, Governor Romney went to a lot of trouble to try to hide what his positions are.”
