Obama has never been a strong debater. He needs to look more engaged with the audience than he did last time, but I reject the idea that he needs to bring up Romney's gaffes because that will just open himself up to attacks, which could get ugly pretty fast.

He just needs to come off as more in control and likable, but I think those things are difficult for him. For all the hype Obama has gotten, and as wonderful a speaker he is, he really doesn't seem very likable personally like say Clinton or Bush. Both of those men you would feel comfortable hanging around with, but Obama is more of like a professorial type figure who is sort of stand offish and introverted. He's always been that way even in 2008, but much more so now.
