On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Tuesday morning, Obama campaign senior adviser Robert Gibbs promised a stellar debate for the president in the evening.
“Look, I think you’re going to see an exceptionally strong debate performance tonight from the president,” he said. “I think you’ll see someone who’ll be strong, who’ll be passionate, who’ll be energetic — will talk about … not just the last four years but what the agenda is for the future and how we continue to move our country and economy forward, strengthening it for the middle class. I think that’s what you’ll hear tonight from the president.”
