Obama warns of fall Romney 'smear' machine
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/1/12 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 02/01/2012 10:50:58 AM PST by Nachum

The Obama-Biden reelection campaign, which just announced it banked $224 million in 2011, is stepping up fundraising as it steels for an expected fall "smear" machine from GOP front-runner Mitt Romney. In an email to supporters this morning, Obama campaign manager Jim Messina warned that the Republicans will have a fat bank account to tap for negative ads, something both Romney and Newt Gingrich did in Florida. "They're going to try to spend and smear their way to the White House," Messina said about Republican groups and candidates.

Oh, no. The Mittens “smear” machine will have an orgasm over Obama. If Barry was smart he'd “come together” with Mittens, drop Joe Biden, and make Mittens his VP choice.

Romney smear Machine against Obama Smear Machine is like a ten year old light weight kid fighting the world boxing champ. It is not going to be a context what so ever. Obama the Lord and Master of class warfare is going to attach the chain of Bain Capital around Romney neck and drag him like an ancient time gladiator dragged his defeated opponent in the arena. Romney utter defeat against Obama would be remembered in the annals of Presidential elections forever.

Yes, that does appear to be Romney’s method when his opposition stands to his right. Willard hates conservatives. But with progressives or ideological fellow travelers like Obama he’s much more neutral.

I totally agree. Mittens is now and always was and always will be a liberal dummycrat. He'd be perfect on the dummycrat ticket. I wish he'd go away somewhere and leave what's left of the Repub Party alone.

Good stuff Sarge. Reminds of CBS (Clinton Broadcasting Company), NBC (Nobody but Clinton), and ABC (All Bill Clinton). The MSM is in the tank for Obama.

Just indicative of how thoroughly effed the state of political affairs are in this country. White horse, white hat, I don't care but we are in dire need of someone other than the current crop of republicrats who are literally being shoved down our throats, again.

If Mittens is the GOP nominee - we have an alternative in Randall Terry as the DEM candidate.

What's left unsaid...So we're going to do the same thing this election as well, especially since it worked the last time we did it.

That's going to come back to bite her.

We now have gas at 4.00 a gallon and 10 percent “real” unemployment.

We should have 5.00 a gallon gas by October with Arab spring in full summer bloom, and 9 to 11 percent unemployment.

Let's see if Mr. Soebarkah get reelected on that record.

From what I’ve seen of Romney in Fl, if he ran like that in a general election, the mud pile from both will be unlike any seen in history.

I wouldn’t be shocked if they end up blowing 2 billion between them and Super PACS.

The GOP-E will tell Romney not to launch smear attacks against Obama for fear that it will alienate “the mushy middle”. Romney, not wanting to piss off the GOP-E, will oblige.
