Time and again, when seeming distracted and stumbling, President Barack Obama has pulled himself out of the political mire. His supporters now wonder whether he has it in him again.
Obama needs to shake out of a political funk and block resurgent Republican foe Mitt Romney when they meet Tuesday in their second debate just 21 days before the election.
In their first clash, nearly two weeks ago, Obama mystified Democrats with a limp defense of his White House term and failed to frame a compelling vision of why he deserves a second.
Avoiding Romney’s eye and lacking fire, Obama dismayed supporters with one of the weakest showings since the first televised presidential debate in 1960.
