President Obama regards the week of the Republican convention as “precious time” to campaign, his spokeswoman told reporters to explain why he will not “lay low” that week, as is customary for incumbent presidents.
“We know that this is a close election and we need to compete for every vote that we can compete for,” Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Air Force One today. “And that’s one of the reasons the President will be spending some time on the campaign trail the week of the Republican convention.”
Psaki was responding to a reporter who had noted that “Traditionally, Presidents kind of stay low during the opposition’s conventions” and asked, “Is he trying to steal some thunder next week with his own campaign trips?”
She denied that his anticipated campaigning is an attempt to steal Romney’s thunder. “We know that there will certainly be a lot of attention paid to the Republican convention just like there will be to the Democratic convention the week we have it,” Psaki said. “But we’re not going to give up any precious time or precious time with voters when we have it.”

Sounds good...he shows himself to be a selfish asshat, and gives Romney ample excuse to campaign heavily during his coronation.
Yup! You nailed it!
He is getting all of ten at each of his rallies.
Doesn’t matter. He has lost at least 20% of the people who voted for him in 2008. He can only make more of an Ass of his-Socialist self to another 5 or 10% who thought he was sincere.
There is no upside to this commie opening his mouth to Americans who care.
The “ignorant beggar” class is already in his pocket and the only way he has a chance is if that class suddenly grows by 20%.
Romney could have a rally at Lowes Motor Speedway. The RATS aren't using it.
Who will you be voting for? Ron Paul?
He's working on it...
So? Do the same back to him, his week.
Fair is fair.
:)
On any given anti-Obama thread, his main cheerleader here in FR is bound to show up, aren’t you?
He wouldn't know how to steal a dried-out cube of cheddar cheese off an empty Publix sample tray at closing time.
He only knows how to steal our money.

“I’d as soon he were out there telling lies than in the office writing more executive orders.”
Agree! He has no qualms about signing EO’s to do what he’s otherwise not able to accomplish.
Which is why I don’t understand those who are saying that a Republican Senate and Congress will keep him in check if he wins another 4 years.
No they won’t!
“The won” will not be shackled.
Romney/Ryan should be planning on doing the same.
Here’s a thought.
0bama could go to his office, close the door, and focus on JOBS
Wake up on the wrong side of the straightjacket this morning?

I found you had got up before me and taken it with you...
Lookin good girlfriend...
your color...
If anything, it just re-enforces his image of being a no class disrespectful thug.
To me it smacks of desperation.
I’d as soon he were out there telling lies than in the office writing more executive orders.
I heard the pos tell a whopper on the radio while working. Fox News Radio is definately leaning left. I heard that the son is running the radio division and he is a lib pos.
Obamas got got 60% of the young people... many who turned 18 since 2008..
Plus more immigrants...
plus more illegals...
Plus a few other groups including the ones who crossed over to vote for a woman...
I dont think Obama is that bad off...
he hasnt needed big crowds at rallies...
he wasnt running against anyone...
after the convention he can start spending money and then he might have bigger crowds...
Willard is not getting big crowds on his own...
theyre coming for Paul Ryan...
Sarah was getting 20-30,000 at rallies
Willard doesnt get them that big...
Paul Ryan will with or without Willard...
Willard is not popular...
Paul Ryan is...
If the GOP managed to pull this off in Nov it will be Paui Ryan who won...

Listen to me. i live in Maine, in Washington county. The sunrise county. We see the sun first. There are no friggin jobs because of obama. There are no jobs! I do not want to hear how some of these regulations are reasonable, when it kills whole towns. Milbridge Maine is on the precipice. The epa rule on whale-safe ropes was pushed off for one year, then EVERY LOBSTER TRAP HAS TO HAVE APPROVED ROPE. This will kill the 3 towns -Cherryfield Milbridge and definately Steuben. These towns will die.
Why in the world would Romney hate you being a Christian?
Even Barry Goldwater went on vacation during the Dem convention. A press boat found him—he shook his head and said this is their time not mine. They ALL have made themselves scarce during opponent’s convention— What a low-class third, world jerk! If he loses I bet he will not even leave the oval office until the military comes for him.
