Obama: 'I feel fabulous' ahead of debate


President Obama did a short debate prep session Tuesday morning, and joked with reporters ahead of the night's showdown with Mitt Romney.

Asked how he felt, Obama said: "I feel fabulous! Look at this beautiful day!"

When a reporter reminded the president that first lady Michelle Obama had announced she had cast an absentee ballot for him, Obama said: "Thank goodness!"

Another reporter asked, "Is Hillary to blame for Benghazi?"

No answer.

Since Saturday, Obama has held debate camp in Williamsburg, Va. Air Force One left late Tuesday morning for the debate site, Hofstra University, in Hempstead, N.Y.
