President Obama Defends His Campaign's Tone (his team doesn't "go out of bounds.")
Yahoo! News ^ | 8/20/12 | Jake Tapper | ABC OTUS News

President Obama defended the tone of his campaign today, saying his team doesn't "go out of bounds."

The president was asked by CBS's Nancy Cordes if he had compunctions about the tenor of the campaign, saying that "your campaign has suggested repeatedly without proof that Mr. Romney might be hiding something in his tax returns, they have suggested that Mr. Romney might be a felon for the way that he handed over power of Bain Capital, and your campaign and the White House have declined to condemn an ad by one of your top supporters that links Mr. Romney to a woman's death from cancer."

...

"I'm not sure all those characterizations that you laid out there were accurate," the president said. "For example, nobody accused Mr. Romney of being a felon."

(Last month, referring to documents filed with the Security and Exchange Commission by Bain Capital that consistently listed Romney as the CEO even though he had relinquished that power, Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said, "Either Mitt Romney, through his own words and his own signature, was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the SEC, which is a felony. Or, he was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the American people to avoid responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments.")

On he and his campaign's demand that Romney release more than two years of tax returns, ..

"People want to know that, you know, everybody's been playing by the same rules including people who are seeking the highest office in the land," he said.

“”I’m not sure all those characterizations that you laid out there were accurate,” the president said.”

And the ferocious press corps nodded ferociously....

The public eye appears to be taking its toll on Obama's "youthful" vim and vigor.

Kinda like Hillary's term in the Senate.

“nobody accused Mr. Romney of being a felon.”

I remember someone did say something about Romney possibly being a felon...pelosi, I think.

Stephanie Cutter who works for his campaign said it. But their god has now spoken so all the lick spittle’s in the Junk Media will meekly bow and accepted the words of their master.

The man is shrinking in stature as his melt down continues in full view whenever he is forced to make a public appearance(that includes his pitiful campaign appearances). The Dufus-in-Chief was flushed out of the West Wing Bunker by the new media and performed like the lying imbecile he is when he foolishly hijacked the press from Carney. Huge mistake and an absolute pleasure to watch.

Prsident Obama is now officially grasping at straws, to say the least. And it's making even Carter look like a decent President in comparison.

In short, the world is now finding out what Conservatives warned in 2008: Obama really is a ZERO.

Everything about this vile, ignorant POS is “out of bounds”.

Of course they’re never ‘out of bounds’ because there’s no boundaries to begin with. Anything goes.

This ABC/yahoo article has drawn nearly 7,000 comments, the overwhelming majority of which are intensely negative. The degree of rancor being expressed against Obama is remarkable. Very encouraging. Anyone paying any attention at all and who may be the least bit undecided would be getting quite the education from these posters.

“It was Reid. Maybe Pelosi, too- I don’t know.”

Hard to keep straight who said what. They’re all joined at the hip and read from the same page.

Dn't need n Weatherman t see which waybama's wind

"Behind the Violence, Says Jane Alpert, Was Sex"

--November 09, 1981--
"The leaders of the Weather Underground, she believes, followed a similar pattern of constantly shifting sexual alliances..."

http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20080637,00.html

"He [Bill Ayers] also writes about the Weathermen's sexual experimentation as they tried to 'smash monogamy.' The Weathermen were 'an army of lovers,' he says, and describes having had different sexual partners, including his best male friend."

Source: New York Times, September 11, 2001: "No Regrets for a Love Of Explosives; In a Memoir of Sorts, a War Protester Talks of Life With the Weathermen"
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F02E1DE1438F932A2575AC0A9679C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=1

"...the Weathermen, when not engaged in group sex, committed such revolutionary acts as parading with a Viet Cong flag through a local park on Independence Day and spray-painting the walls of a high school with the slogans, "Off the Pigs," "Viet Cong Will Win," and "F#$k U.S. Imperialism."..."

"What happens next bears watching closely, as does the response of the president, ex-Speaker Pelosi, and others on the left.  Encouraged by leftists in the Democratic Party and funded by left-leaning nonprofit organizations and celebrity contributors, Occupy Wall Street may in time morph into something resembling the radical factions of the late 1960s and 1970s."

Wasn’t there an article just yesterday about Obama’s pounding Romney for months on end, then he’d pivot and act as if he would never say a bad word against anybody? Guess it’s now pivot time. Don’t think it’ll work.
