White House: Romney 'desperate' for releasing '98 tape of Obama
The Washington Times ^ | Sept. 19, 2012 | Dave Boyer

The White House called Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and his allies "desperate" Wednesday for releasing an audio tape from 1998 in which then-state Sen. Barack Obama spoke in favor of "redistribution" of wealth.

"When a campaign is having a bad day or a bad week or some might say a bad month … you sometimes witness an effort to, it seems desperate, to change the subject," said White House press secretary Jay Carney.

Republicans came out Tuesday with the tape of Mr. Obama, speaking at Loyola University, saying he supports "redistribution." It followed the release on Monday of a secretly recorded video of Mr. Romney at a fundraiser in May saying that 47 percent of Americans — Mr. Obama's supporters — consider themselves "victims" who depend on the government for assistance.

Mr. Romney and his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, are highlighting Mr. Obama's 14-year-old comments on the campaign trail.

The Subject is whatever the Obama campaign says.

Change of the Subject is whatever the Romney campaign says.

Projection.

Change the subject. You mean like blaming Romney when an American ambassador is murdered.

I see.

So Obama was getting hammered for his inept handling of the fiasco in the middle east. Then some how a miraculous event happens when the MSM gets a hold of an old tape of Romney speaking the truth. The MSM ratchets it up so much that the fiasco in the middle east becomes a back story issue. Then a tape about Obama actually saying what is on his mind making it look bad for Obama. No time to find a new anti-Romney tape so they blame Romney for releasing the tape. Had Romney only cowered in the corner like the GOP typically does, none of this would have happened and Obama would be once again on that fake marble pedestal.

I'm missing something here. About this whole audio tape bidness from 1998. Look. If you want to hear, read, or watch Obammie confessing to his desire to redistribute the wealth, then simply Google Joe the Plumber.

About 1,710,000 results

Redistribution of wealth is a basic fundamental Obama doctrine. Who doesn't know that?

The Current Regime in the White Hut are past masters at the art of changing the subject when it gets a little uncomfortable for them. Release of this 1998 tape of then state senator Barack Hussein Obama wanting to “redistribute” things is not a new revelation - just day-to-day observation of his style and listening to his rhetoric confirms his attitudes about wealth and “fairness” in the marketplace, and how it should be “handled”. Robbin’ Hood and his Merry Men in 21st Century dress.

Obama is a Communist, his mother was a Communist, his papa Frank Marshall Davis was a Communist..I dont know why the White House is trying to run away from this video of Obama saying he’s for Redistribution of Wealth, I was not surprised by the video. I knew four years ago while he was still running for President exactly who Obama is. Liberals are all for Redistribution of wealth, just not their own wealth, everyone elses wealth but never their own

“desperate”

CNN for another. Check out this breathless headline from the Communist News Network:

BREAKING NEWS: CNN/ORC poll finds President Obama holds a 52%-44% lead over Mitt Romney in Michigan, where Romney was born and raised.

Today you put him on the defensive.

Tomorrow you provoke a purple-raging total meltdown on live TV
