Obama Calls Romney Speech 'A Cow Pie of Distortion' By Kristen Welker

DES MOINES, IA – President Barack Obama delivered one of his most direct attacks against Mitt Romney here Thursday night, painting Romney as an out-of-touch corporate raider.

At this event, held before an enthusiastic crowd of 2,500 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, Obama reminded the crowd that Romney said “corporations are people,” while stumping in Iowa last August during the Republican primary. The president said there may be value in Romney’s experience in corporate buyouts, “but it’s not in the White House.”

He also noted that the former governor doesn’t talk about his record in Massachusetts.

Speaking directly to Iowans, Obama used local lingo to slam Romney: “Governor Romney came to Des Moines last week and warned of a prairie fire of debt,” he said. “But he left out some facts. His speech was more like a cow pie of distortion.”

Then he quipped, “I don’t know whose record he twisted the most – mine or his.”

Obama warned his supporters that this race would be tougher than 2008 and argued that he represents the future and Romney the past. "We don't need another political fight about ending women's right to choose or getting rid of Planned Parenthood," Mr. Obama said as the crowd erupted into cheers.

A cowpie of a President.
No one needs to twist HIS record to slip on it.

Today Romney addressed the percentage of Bain takeovers that actually wound up in bankruptcy. It was something like 4%. 96% were helped and went on to be successful.

Obama should be so lucky as to have a 96% success rate. So far he’s looking closer to the 4%.

As the progeny of a big city political machine Obama sees the electorate as fools. Unfortunately for him the feeling is mutual.

That’s some gooood propaganda. I give his writers credit for those humorous images that reach to local constituents. What a deadly art!

Wow.

Obama does not know how to run as an incumbent. He doesn’t know the difference between his role and surrogates. And how the president should sound.

He sounds off-key and desperate, angry, defensive, petty - completely counter to his carefully drawn image as above it all and non-partisan.

Inept. He needs to listen to someone who can pull him back, but I don’t think he will listen to anyone. And I hope he doesn’t.

Behold the spectacle of the President of the United States referring to excrement.

Is there no part of his office that he will not defile? No part of his oath that he will honor? No article of the Constitution that he will respect? No venerable American tradition that he will uphold? No sanctuary of decency that he will not invade, all in the service of his narcissism?

Disgusting. This is very crude language from the President and is another example of his utter lack of class. Fortunately Obama’s occupancy of that office will soon be over.

Obama reminded the crowd that Romney said “corporations are people,” while stumping in Iowa last August during the Republican primary.

And so they are. Usually, they are groups of people, and sometimes they are individual people. My dentist is an LLC all by hisself...his practice is an LLP, IIRC, but WTH, TGIF, OK?

Remember when distinguished, serious, adult, statesmenlike men occupied the Oval Office? It was only 40 months ago. Seems like 40 years, doesn’t it?

In a word, no.
Even when I think I’ve heard and seen the depths of
depravity that liberals can go, they always out do
themselves. I fully expect to see some sort of raging
spittle spewing breakdown before this is played out.
Florida last election was only a precurser to what
is coming.
