Obama's problem is called Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney won the state of New Hampshire by a clear margin on Tuesday in the fight for the Republican Party presidential candidacy, bolstering is position as the frontrunner. President Barack Obama is also preparing for a duel with the former governor and investment banker, but still lacks the right approach, writes the left-liberal daily Der Standard: "Romney is the most uncomfortable adversary for Obama by a long shot. For months the president's campaign team in Chicago have been preparing for a showdown with the most moderate of the energetic field of contestants. They pick over Romney's past time and again, compile files and meticulously study every move he makes during his campaign appearances. But they have still not come up with an effective strategy to counter this uncharismatic anti-Obama, whose speciality is making jokes that leave entire auditoriums full of supporters (including his team of advisors) completely at a loss."
