while cutting the taxes of the super rich who, like Romney, invest in shell corporations in the Caymans?"

I doubt if POTUS will bring it up on his own without provocation, and I'm glad.

Although I want him to kick Robme's ass (figuratively), I want him to stay true to who he is . . . the thoughtful, smart guy. I don't want him to be pressured into trying to be a tough guy . . . that's just not who he is.

I wonder who will be in the audience, or who will be asking questions?

Crowley will do all she can to diss Obama and promote Romney, her record is clear.

The truth will come in whatever questions that Obama is allowed to answer. Needless to say, Romney will continue to lie.

I hope the articles recently posted by Krugeman and Chait will be part of Obama's preparation. He has said he wants a debate on the way that Americans want to run this country.

The Romney/Ryan/Nordquist plan is to make the office of POTUS nothing more than a rubber stamp for the Koches, etc. If Americans want their country run for the profit of global and foreign rulers, so be it.

That's new information, too much for the townhall format

That is, will they be spokespersons for certain groups who have an interest in the topics?

and sons and daughters of Bain shareholders!

...because Romney would simply reply that he had left Bain long before that happened, and imply that Obama was lying.

Bring up Bain, yes. This particular case, no. Let the twitterverse handle that.

Mitt has never worked a day in his life for the American people.

The President must challenge viewers to listen to the whole video and decide for themselves whether Romney meant what Romney was saying on the video. That challenge will be devastating to Romney because I don't see how any one but a blind republican partisan would not see that Romney meant exactly what he said.

Sensata is a bit too raw. The President shouldn't bring it up unless the President also announced that the federal government and Illinois has made a deal that will keep the Sensata workers employed.
