The President of the United States finally deigned to take a few questions from the White House press corps this afternoon, making a surprise appearance in the briefing room. His primary goal seemed to be to jump on the large and growing condemnation bandwagon of Rep. Todd Akin, following the Senate candidate's indefensible comments on rape. (He should get in line; prominent conservatives are beginning to ask Akin to leave the race, and the NRSC is reportedly applying similar pressure). My two biggest take-aways from the presser:
(1) This quote: "In terms of the economy...[pause, audible sigh]." He then launched into a rambling answer, littered with straw men. That groan and hesitation will likely make its way into a television ad or two.
(2) Barack Obama is 100 percent comfortable with the tone, tenor and focus of his campaign. Pressed on its incessant attacks, Obama denied that the smears have even occurred ("Nobody accused Mr. Romney of being a felon!" -- rebuttals here and here), instructed reporters that only his words matter on this subject (subtext: my surrogates, allies and running mate shouldn't really reflect on me), and whined about the Romney campaign's (!) nastiness. In defending his formally-endorsed SuperPAC, he conjured up Democrats' go-to false equivalency between the group's outrageous 'cancer' ad and the Romney campaign's slightly exaggerated but broadly accurate welfare attacks. In shamelessly complaining that Romney is really the one relying on negative and false attacks, the president made this statement:
Obama: You can't just make stuff up, that's something you learn as president of the United States
"You can't just make stuff up."
He also breezily denied that his re-election effort has gone "out of bounds" in assailing Mitt Romney. This from a man whose campaign has invoked cancer and slavery to attack the GOP ticket, not to mention the aforementioned felony and tax cheat allegations (which Obama now claims never happened). Lesson: There are no political boundaries in Chicago-style politics. Obama reiterated his calls for Romney to release his tax returns, and suggested that the country should see his medical records, too. He argued that presidential candidates' lives should be, ahem, "an open book." Does that book include composite characters? I'll leave you with a humble suggestion: Watch that clip again, then read this.
UPDATE - Here's the Romney campaign's rapid response video to Obama's 'felony' dodge, starring...guess who?

UPDATE II - Here's another fun stroll down Obama's memory lane, this time on outside groups:

Obama: You can't just make stuff up, that's something you learn as president of the United States.
Sometimes I wonder if he’s a true pathological liar. I mean in the psychiatric sense.
But.. they are for sure dangerous campus psycho spoiled brats. Tain't funny, McGee.
“You Can’t Just Make Stuff Up”
Like a biography, grades,place of birth, girlfriends, loans,mortgages,work history,etc..
Meaning only he is allowed to make stuff up!?! He seemed to be pretty good at it before he was Pres-ent.
A vast amount of the “stuff” (very little of which has to be “made up”) is just buried or ignored by the lamestream press and cohort media, in hopes it will just go away. But sewage carried in a leaky bucket has a habit of dribbling out, and leaving its own trail. Many things are obviously wrong, and the responses by this regime are either purposely not to address the problem, or are directed at the aspects of the problem that do not affect the course of treating its characteristics that would lead to a cure.
What many would consider to BE the problem, is indistinguishable from the “solution” that is being offered, i.e., the cure is worse than the disease, and in applying this false cure, other more effective means of alleviating the problem are foreclosed, or simply squeezed out of consideration.
I don’t wonder about that. I’m sure of it. As a pathological narcissist pathological lying is just part of his psychological package. In his mind one of his talents.
So, according to Obama...it can’t be on the TV if it isn’t true?
Great vid you posted showing O-Liar again:

By the way, does anyone know if Romney can SUE the bastard (and his campaign staff) for libel (on behalf of the American people)?
He could seek billions of dollars from Obama and his Campaign Staff PERSONALLY because that’s what’s at stake if he wins the election using libel/slander and then runs up billions more spending for his cronies and so-called victims of a free-market society.
It could put Bork Obunga in the poor house for life. I’d like to see him in prison for all his illegal activities, but to have him leave the WH dirt poor would be fitting for this scum.
Obama: You can’t just make stuff up, that’s something you learn as president of the United States
-unless you have your own compliant media or ‘Reichspropagandeleitung’.
“WE tell you what the ‘truth’ is.” Obama & Co.

Isn’t lying part of the Muslim religion?
Only to infidels. Like us.
“Making stuff up” and concealing stuff are what won Obama the presidency.
He’s only knocking it for the press; in fact, he is the most obvious fake and phony ever to occupy the White House, bar none.
I agree. I think the same goes for Biden Reid, Pelosi, DWS and on and on. Today’s elected ‘Rats are mostly mental cases.
