The AP wonders how Obama will do in debates

An Associated Press writer wonders Which Obama will show up for presidential debates?

It could be the tone-deaf debater who condescendingly told Hillary Rodham Clinton during a Democratic debate that she was "likable enough."



Or perhaps the confident candidate who absorbed a jab from Clinton about using her husband's former advisers and responded with a devastating one-liner of his own: "Hillary, I'm looking forward to you advising me as well."

For a man known as a powerful speaker, Obama has rarely wowed people in political debates. He can come across as lifeless, aloof and windy.

It make a big difference when Obama can’t use a teleprompter.

One thing we do know is that the media will print positive reports on the performance of Obama and the same negative reports on McCain as they did for Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primary campaign.
