38. I don't think it was as bad for President Obama as the spin.

Come on. It's a long slog. Romney was coming off a 30 day period that could hardly have been worse for him. Romney pivoted. Romney told a bunch of lies. Romney abused the moderator.

Try to focus on the bigger picture. Frankly I don't know how you handle a situation like President Obama found himself in, even in retrospect. We are now 28 days out. A bump in the polls for Romney at this point means what, exactly? I'm not sure but I figure the Obama campaign knows how to handle this better than I do. They are winners.

We have to see how the debate goes with Biden and we have two more presidential debates. I think our candidate and his campaign are up to this. I really do.
