OBAMA: ROMNEY WANTS VP PETRAEUS
Tue Aug 07 2012 12:01:02 ET
**Exclusive**
President Obama whispered to a top fundraiser this week that he believes GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney wants to name Gen. David Petraeus to the VP slot!
“The president wasn't joking,” the insider explains to the DRUDGE REPORT.
A Petraeus drama has been quietly building behind the scenes.
Romney is believed to have secretly met with the four-star general in New Hampshire.

Thank you
“The president wasn't joking,” the insider explains to the DRUDGE REPORT.
This kind of headline demonstrates how silly stories get traction in a media outlet like the Drudge Report, and why it's important to "read between the lines" in any story.
What happened there is that Barack Obama -- who we all know is not the brightest guy in the world and can barely even put together a coherent string of words without a teleprompter in front of him -- was overheard whispering something to someone else at a political fundraiser.
This immediately translates into a "rumor" that Romney wanted to select Petraeus as his running mate, when all evidence would seem to indicate that Petraeus wasn't even on his radar screen.
Makes it more likely then that Romney didn’t pursue Benghani in the debate because he knew from Petraeus that the truth was going to rise to the surface anyway. Obama is going down eventually over this and other stuff that will come out. It will be so appalling that the senate dems will be forced to turn on him. I hope anyway. It is time for him to be held accountable.
