Team Obama feelin' good going into Tuesday

By Richard K. Barry

What? Nobody ordered pizzas? Oh, man.

The Wall Street Journal let us know yesterday that President Obama is hard at work preparing for Tuesday's debate, but not too busy to deliver some pizzas to a campaign office in Williamsburg, Virginia near where he and his campaign team are holed up.

Must be quite a moment when the president stops by with a stack of boxes for the assembled workers:

Mr. Obama arrived in Willliamsburg Saturday for three days of intense preparations for his second debate against Republican rival Mitt Romney. The stakes couldn't be higher for Tuesday’s faceoff in Hempstead, N.Y., after his listless performance in the candidates' first debate disappointed supporters, and cost him his comfortable edge over Mr. Romney in the polls.

Well, I suppose. Good that Mr. Obama told reporters that, in response to how it's going, "it's going great." I'm pretty sure I knew he was going to say that.

The president began prep sessions Sunday at 10 a.m. and in between has strolled along the grounds of the resort, which is set along James River and features a golf course and a spa. Sen. John Kerry (D., Mass.) was seen tooling around the resort on a golf cart, and Mr. Obama's top aides are on hand to assist, including former White House communications director Anita Dunn who is playing the moderator of Tuesday's debate, CNN anchor Candy Crowley. 

Good to know. I'm not nervous at all.
