As annoying as you are for being a Liberal Hack troll, I actually agree with the statement.
I think Obama correctly knew that he "could not win" the debate despite whatever Liberal Hack trolls were saying. I think Obama was surprised at how crisp Romney was, and some of the new things Romney said.
But Obama knew that he "couldn't attack strong because that could make him appear less likeable and negative." Obama did not want to "make a knockout punch, especially if Romney had an off night, and it would seem overkill, and hurt Obama for making him appear bullyish."
Obama really wanted to play it safe, and not do anything different than he has done in the past month. Obama wanted Romney to "hurt himself" and Obama wanted to see exactly what Romney could do. Think of it as the first half of a game, and Obama is going to head back into the lockerroom and make 2nd half adjustments to try to win.
Obama hopes there is enough time left to recover.
Obama knew that based on history and public newness, Romney would likely draw or win the first debate. Just as John Kerry won the first debate against Bush. There was very little Obama could do to prevent Romney from "not losing", only Romney could damage himself.
