Hunter --

Today isn't just the day of the first presidential debate,
it's also the President and First Lady's 20th wedding
anniversary.

So first, take a rare look at their relationship. This
video includes never-before-seen footage, so you'll want to
watch it and pass it along:

Then, once the debate starts, you should head over to
barackobama.com/debate to get real-time facts and
information. Stick around afterwards, too -- Vice President
Biden will be doing an exclusive post-debate livestream for
supporters like you.

In anticipation of what we'll see tonight, I recorded a
short video to give you some of the facts you need -- so
that you can set the record straight every time Mitt Romney
lies or takes a cheap shot. Check it out, and share it with
others before tonight's debate:

The three most important issues I expect to come up during
this debate are jobs, taxes, and the deficit. Here's a
quick cheat sheet on each:

Jobs
If I were a betting woman, I could wager you $10,000 that
Romney will claim that he has a plan to create 12 million
jobs over the next four years. If he does, it might sound
like a bold promise, but it isn't -- independent economists
project that we're going to create that many jobs anyway on
the path that we're on. Those same economists have also
studied Romney's proposed policies, and they agree that
those policies would actually slow our recovery, and cost
more than a million American jobs.

Taxes
Romney has a $5 trillion tax plan that would give
millionaires and billionaires huge tax cuts. But
independent experts say the only way to pay for that sort
of plan is to raise taxes on the middle class, increasing
taxes for families with children by an average of $2,000.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan deny this, but when Ryan was
asked this weekend to explain how it would work, he said he
didn't have time to explain the math. We'll see if Mitt
Romney finds some time in tonight's 90-minute debate to
tell us specifically how he can avoid raising taxes on
middle-class families and still pay for another $250,000
tax cut for multimillionaires.

The deficit
Tonight, Mitt Romney will tell you that he's going to cut
the deficit. But he won't tell you how he'll manage to do
that while keeping his promises not to raise a penny in
new revenue. Without raising revenue, Romney wants to pass
a $5 trillion tax cut favoring millionaires and
billionaires and add $2 trillion in new defense spending
that military leaders didn't ask for. How does all that add
up to cutting the deficit? It doesn't -- like President
Clinton said, it's just simple arithmetic.

No matter what happens, the pundits will have a lot to say
about tonight's debate. But they don't have the final word
-- you do.

So if you think President Obama does a good job tonight,
say so. Post about it on Facebook, tweet about it, email
your friends, and write about it on your Tumblr (if you're
into that sort of thing).

Getting the facts out is more important than ever tonight
-- make sure you have President Obama's back, and please,
spread the word:
