CNN on Friday surprisingly accused President Obama of "swiftboating" presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney with continuously false attacks regarding his service at Bain Capital.

The idea appears to have first been raised by CNN correspondent Jim Acosta during his interview with Romney on The Situation Room.

MITT ROMNEY: They announced early on, one of their insiders said that they -- their -- their campaign was going to be based upon the strategy of -- quote -- "kill Romney," end of quote. That's what they're doing. It's disgusting. It's demeaning. It's something which I think the president should take responsibility for and stop.

JIM ACOSTA, CNN: And do you believe you're being swiftboated in this campaign?

Since Obummer “won” his way into office by the mysterious release of divorce records of his opponents, maybe it’s best that good-Mormon Romney has no such skeletons to unearth.

On the other hand, don’t the Mormons maintain very good geneological records? Would they not perhaps have very good information on who really is Barry Obama/Soetoro/Dunham?

“Not just anti-war protests. He met with the N. Vietnamese in Paris to “negotiate” peace on his own. An act of treason.”

That's just another Republican “smear tactic.” Kerry negotiated with both sides... The North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong.

Bingo! It's nice seeing the Red on Redder attacks. But it's disturbing to see the misuse of language.

"Swiftboating" is telling the truth about a lying sack of poo politician.
