The moderators are looking for fireworks. They are trying to make sure these jokers battle each other up there. They could phrase the questions in such a way as to have them focus on Obama......but they have not thus far.
I'm guessing the "immediate response" meters are going haywire. Nutters love the red meat.
The moderators are going to focus on having the GOP contenders try and beat the crap out of each other. When it comes to President Obama debating the GOP Candidate, they will switch gears and focus on "What should the nanny-state government do to take care of you?"
