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 Romneys experience in corporate buyouts, but its not in the White House.
He also noted that the former governor doesnt 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 dont 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.

Bo is the biggest liar I would love to see him choke on a cow pie.
2500?......I hope they had plenty of water in case they passed out from being so crowded.......
It is obvious that owebama is a muslim - he is full of shiite.
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%.
Cows. Another thing 0bama really, really knows about.
Manure is a good thing. obama wishes he could be manure.
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.
That’s actually funny. You know he didn’t write that himself.
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.
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?
Oh, and just to be clear...Romney sucks.
Remember when distinguished, serious, adult, statesmenlike men occupied the Oval Office? It was only 40 months ago. Seems like 40 years, doesn’t it?
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?
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.
Well, if there’s anybody who understands distortion, obfuscation, misdirection and outright lies, it’s Obama.

‘A Cow Pie of Distortion’?
Hilarious!
This guy is so tone deaf.
Romney is a redneck? Really? LOL
I hope Obama chokes on his waygu beef LOL
I think he knows more about sheep. He herds MILLIONS of them.
Consider the significance of your assessment once Obama is defeated on election day -- perhaps decisively.
He will then remain in office for the better part of three months -- still the President, still willfully without restraint.
Those strike me as dangerous months.
I dont know whose record he twisted the most mine or his.
There’s a quandary.
Vote in every Senator/Congressman and all down ballot folks to your local level.
It’s all we have.
Obama will be made a laughing stock if we put up enough resistance.
Romney too, but Romney aint the arrogant turd Obama is.
I think he will at least play along.
“Manure is a good thing”
it’s “Ma” which is good
And “newer” which is also good
At least that’s what George said
Thats actually funny. You know he didnt write that himself
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
If asked what a ‘cow pie’ is/was,his answer would be “You know, like a moon pie, a cake”
He would probably not know what horse apples or horse feathers or Rocky Mountain Oysters are either.
We used to play ball in the field and use the cow pies for bases.
It taught you to slide gingerly and also not step in the middle of the bag, utilize the corners.
He occupies the White House but has not lived up to the title President of the United States.
He also referred to patriotic men, women, and children as “teabaggers” knowing it’s homosexual connotation.
You talk about callin someone a redneck like it’s a bad thing
Yeah, like his record of $5 trillion in debt, massive give aways to cronies, corruption and intimidation of just about everyone including the Supreme Court, ...
Try as they might I don't think his billionaire friends, the MSM media, communist nations, fraudulent voters stuffing the ballet box, and the hoards of liberal organizations are going to save him.
Obama and the democrats have been building a platform out of bullshit for years. It’s piled so high now that they can’t stand on it so they have to resort to class warfare, race baiting, and character assassination. That’s all they have.
The most surreal moment in my life was when Obama was elected. I knew only one thing at that moment and that was that God is very angry with this nation.
Zero is losing it, big time. His true animal, uneducated, decadent core is revealing itself.
They ARE people, moronobama. If corporations are NOT people, why did Obama steal from bondholders and taxpayers to bail out General Motors CORPORATION and the Chrysler CORPORATION?
There is something about this continual tactic of projection that has a ridiculous note. The cow pie is in the eye of the beholder. In this case, it’s queer eye for the cow pie.
I think the language might work for Bush II or Reagan. They were MEN who worked the land, who knew what a cow pie was. Obama knows damn little about ANYTHING and less about farming. So for him to say it is ridiculous.
You stay Classy, Obama.
I could swear BO is talking about himself.
“The most surreal moment in my life was when Obama was elected. I knew only one thing at that moment and that was that God is very angry with this nation.”
Carter was a warning, and Clinton was a spanking.
This nation has killed about 10X as many babies as the Third Reich did Jews.
My tagline applies to character as well as a tool of judgement.
“Behold the spectacle of the President of the United States referring to excrement.”
I guess he’s done “looking for some ass to kick” over the BP Gulf spill.
The P in POTUS is for punk.
Obama is giving Romney a huge opening here. This is so easily flipped that only tone deaf Republicans could miss the opportunity, and I suppose we will. Romney needs to say:
... so, in response to Mr. Obama's latest rantings, are corporations people? My answer is simple. We as individuals have inalienable rights, given by God. We hold those rights as a matter of natural law, and they are reflected in the design of our constitution. Those rights are inherent. We do not surrender them when we come together in voluntary organizations.
So, are corporations people? Let me ask you this. More importantly, let me ask Mr. Obama this. Are churches people? Are civic organizations people? Are schools, nonprofit organizations, political groups, and other private associations people? Or does Mr. Obama think we surrender our God given rights when we gather together?
That's not a casual or careless question. This president is engaged in the most heinous assault on religious liberty in at least the last 150 years, and perhaps in American history. He clearly doesn't think that Christian churches are people. He's an advocate of comprehensive and onerous government controls on political speech. He would probably concede that freedom of speech gives you the right to say whatever you want in the privacy of your own living room, but the moment we come together as a group in the public square, he demands the power to dictate the terms, conditions, and amount of our speech. He clearly doesn't think that advocacy and political groups, including political parties, are people.
This president and the party he represents are militantly determined to micromanage the affairs of voluntary and civic organizations of all kinds; they seem to think that constitutional liberties are fine as long as we remain hidden in the catacombs, but the moment we step into the street, we are utterly creatures of government. That is the issue.
It needs to be wordsmithed, but you get the gist. This can be reversed and driven as a wedge at any number of overreaching lefist presumptions. The democrats are the slavery party. We are the liberty party, and we shouldn't be afraid to sound the trumpets.
I am not a big Romney fan. However I can't stomach the idea of ZERO with another 4. I'll take Mitt to replace the lying Kenyan.
I’m infuriated by that nonsense. Corporations are “persons” not “people”. The corporate person is what has legal status. But dumb lawyers and stupid economists like our president continue to ignore that corporations are composed of and deal with people - leadership, employees, investors, customers.
I am a big fan of the Citizens United decision. You either let the Koch brothers spend all they want to defend American prosperity or you deny John Corzine the right to spend $60 million to buy a Senate seat and a similar amount to buy a governorship. You either let corporations spend what they want or you deny unions the right to spend and activate their troops.
You should send that to the Romney campaign. It hits the right tone for Romney to use. It frames the debate in a clear way, while also putting Obama’s lack of class on display. It explains the control the dems want over our speech. Please find a way to get that to Romney’s people.
Several people in the crowd yelled back: We love you!
Thats what people in a courtroom at a sentencing say to their loved one as he is led out of court and taken to jail.
EXACTLY! Only a fool would stay home or vote third party.
This is part of Obama's tendency (as mentioned by Harry Reid) to slip into "dialects" that match the audience. He's just pandering to his base (i.e. talking "black" to blacks). Someone like Reagan would never stoop so low.
