He`s so correct.


"Mitt Romney has spent the past ten days hammering President Barack Obama for saying “Let me tell you something…if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

Unfortunately, the Romney campaign is taking Obama’s quote completely out of context by splicing together two separate parts of the president’s speech, to make Obama sound as if he was making a direct attack on entrepreneurs.

Amusingly, we have now learned that the Republican candidate himself once made a remarkably similar comment during the 2002 Winter Olympics. In his speech at the games’ opening ceremonies as their chief executive, Romney told the assembled athletes"

The United States gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 2.2 percent in the first quarter.

That's hardly "awful."

Certainly better than the Bush legacy --

Nope. Everything I've read points to a close election. We have a weak President facing a pathetic challenger.

Is Romney going down to support Jeb Bush?  I fuckin doubt the shit outta that.

Romney picks Pawlenty he will lose Minnesota in a big fuckin way, dont care if he offers to suck every minnesotan dry while in his magic underpants. And everything I see has it leaning heavy to obama anyhow.

Wisconsin is a swing with 10 votes, and wont be a worry until after Romney gets the party nod, and has a VP.

Then the fat will fly on both wedges of the cheeseheads.

That's been my take, Steve, with the edge to the incumbent, but I'm starting to think it may not be that close at all. President Obama has been burning through money, trying to define Romney in the worst possible light, and, if anything, the budge in the polls is to Mitt. The schtick has gotten old.

With this one speech, he has done a better job of defining himself negatively to the undecided voters than all the millions his campaign spent, did to put a negative shadow on Romney. Next, the Olympics, where Mitt ties right in with his successful accomplishments (you know, something on the resume) in Salt Lake. Then he can grab the media cycle again, with a Veep announcement. Then the convention, where a hell of a lot of people will finally start tuning in to the fact that there is an election in November (accompanied, no doubt, by a swarming into our little basement, for the duration), and Mitt will get a big stage to speak for himself from. He's not as oratorically gifted as the President, but he'll have an easy message to sell.

When the President steps up again, he's going to be on defense, with a slippery economy under his feet, and a record he can't run on.

It has remained actually about the same edge to obama even thru the whatever Obama administration gaffes, Willard and the magic underwear.   The Red and Blue is well settled, and the white aint going to even bother being interested until the VP pick and the convention.

there are wild swings here and there, but if you ask who would be elected today, it is 98 or 99% Obama on any given day.  

This is just circle jerking at this point really, getting ready for the real shit.
