Obama gets lots of debate advice

We figure President Obama has been getting lots of advice since last week's poorly reviewed debate performance.

Monday night, he said so himself.

"Listen, after the debate, I had a bunch of folks come to me," Obama told donors in San Francisco, adding that they told him: 'Don't be so polite, don't be so nice."

Obama and aides say Romney's success — he won all the post-debate poll — had to do more with theatrical performance than policy substance, and they pledge to rectify that in the next two debates.

Said Obama in San Francisco: "But I want everybody to understand something -- what was being presented wasn't leadership -- that's salesmanship."

Obama heads back to debate camp this weekend -- his next contest with Romney is a week from Tuesday at Hofstra University in New York.
