We don't know who he'll be facing yet, but we now know where and when President Obama will be debating for his reelection bid.
The bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates today announced four sites and dates for the fall 2012 faceoffs between the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees (whether a third party candidate emerges and is included is TBD):
Moderators and formats for the debates will be decided next year, according to the announcement from commission co-chairs Frank Fahrenkopf Jr. and Michael McCurry.
