DES MOINES, IA -- Mitt Romney is attacking President Obama again in a new mailer Iowans received in their mailboxes today.
“What is he worried about?” the two-sided piece of literature asks about the president as he is shown with his head in his hands. “Securing our borders? Building the fence? Protecting Iowa jobs?”
“No. The Obama attack machine is obsessed with ... Mitt Romney,” it says with the “O” of obsessed filled in with the easily recognizable Obama symbol. It also quotes the New York Times and ABC News.
“Illegal immigration is a serious problem,” the backside of the ad reads in bold red letters. ”But Barack Obama has failed to secure our borders.”

This particular hit on President Obama has been a recurring theme for the Romney campaign -- an attempt to woo GOP voters by emphasizing that Team Obama and the Democratic Party are "worried" about Romney.
The campaign mailer, which has no picture of Romney himself, goes on to list the former Massachusetts governor's plan to end illegal immigration: secure the border, turn off the magnets, and ensure employers can confirm legal status of employees.
“On Jan. 3, caucus for the candidate with a plan to end illegal immigration,” this new mailer reads.
The Romney campaign sent out its first wave of campaign literature the weekend of Thanksgiving. One piece also focused on illegal immigration and listed the three points Romney was “the strongest Republican to beat Barack Obama and end illegal immigration.” Those points were similar to the ones seen on this ad, however, his stance on the border from the November piece just states he “supports building a border fence” but in this ad, he “supports a high-tech border fence.”

He must not have heard - the mail is getting cut back.
Worried about the politics? Nope.
Worried that both durable goods orders and the service index is down. Can we decelerate from a recession?
This flip-flopper Romney only tells Iowans what he thinks they want to hear.
At least, Gingrich as speaker did balance the budget and turn our economy into surplus. And yes Congress controls spending. Unlike the flip flopper that actually practiced liberal policies he at least has the scars and lived some of the ideals folks are all paying lip service to on the campaign trail right now.
Romney thinks he's consistent and the media and voters are the ones who are confused. If you tell lies long enough, you start to believe 'em yourself.
Gingrich has scars? More like skeletons. Congress is instrumental when working together and working with the White House, so if we give Gingrich credit for the Cinton years, then isn't it fair to blame the Teapublican obstructionists now instead of the president?
We aren't likely to double-dip, but Teapublicans blocking economic stimulus and job creation sure doesn't help. Wall Street seemed to calm down about Europe. Stay tuned...
But Willard Romney has failed to secure his convictions on immigration...

Mittens circa 2006:
... and the only skeleton in his closet is himself.
Yesterday on Meet the Press it was apparent that the New Hampshire Union Leader and other conservative forces were heavily attacking Mitt as essentially having no core. The idea that Mitt puts his finger to the wind is a bipartisan idea. George Will thinks Mitt has no core. Anybody with a brain thinks it is odd that one can be pro-choice and pro-life, pro-gay and anti-gay, pro-healthcare and anti-healthcare, etc. The dividing line between Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde appears to be sometime around 2007 - when Mitt first decided to seek the Republican nomination. A spokesperson for the Union Leader also quipped yesterday that Mitt has only been out of government (or out of Washington) for much of the last twenty years only because he lost a Senate election and a Presidential election. It wasn't like he eschewed elective office. He runs every chance he gets.
From the article the flyer says, "The Obama attack machine is obsessed with ... Mitt Romney..."
I have a suspicion the Obama campaign is spending its time laughing at the GOP and doesn't have the time or the inclination to attack any of the Republican Party's feeble-minded losers. Why would they want to? They are self-destructing without the need of any outside assistance.
"Whats he worried about"? The only worry for Pres. Obama is trying to pin down
your flip and your flop....Willard I don't think our President is worried about you
or the rest of the GOP.
PoliticusUSA:
The Obama campaign’s David Axelrod and Robert Gibbs both hit the Sunday morning talk shows to use Mitt Romney’s recent EPA flip-flop...
Axelrod said, “Let me make this point about what happened last night. Last night Governor Romney said that the EPA was the president’s tool to crush the private enterprise system.
When he was governor of Massachusetts, he boasted that he had the toughest rules when it comes to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, and now it’s like that never happened. Now, he’s on the other side of it. This is the reason I suppose why he and his aides absconded with the hard drives from their computers when they left the governor’s office, because they think they can just erase the past, that what you said before doesn’t matter now ... I respect his personal life, but this is about how you behave in the public.”
*********************
There is something very troubling with this Romney run. He gets rid of hard drives. And he runs from the press.
Kansas City Star: More than a thousand people lined up overnight and this morning to get a ticket to see President Barack Obama on Tuesday at Osawatomie High School.
You know, the President who can't connect with people. The people who stood in line for hours in very cold temperatures to see the President who can't connect with people.
***********************
Do Trump and Gingrich have any advice for the rich kids out there? Or is it their goal to just be condescending to poor kids. What will the rich kids be doing while the poor kids work?
Going to summer camp? Where? France?
Shouldn't they get an education about bankruptcy once they inherit their money? Shouldn't they get an education about exploiting people's tragedies by making hundres of thousands of dollars as Gingrich did?
Rich kids have it so easy. Working class/poor kids never had it easy. Trump and Gingrich are now role models for these kids?
Wow. Two of the biggest con artists in this country.
***********************
President Obama is quiet, he's steady and a good role model on how not to panic. You just roll up your sleeves and keep going.
Sure beats going on cable tv and screaming over nothing and everything.
You want a role model kids? President Obama. Listen to him. Learn from him.
Mitt Romney is the epitome of everything is wrong with America… A vain, greed stricken, power mad, silver spoon who has no idea what it’s like to be an average working class American. If he DID know the 47 MILLION Americans struggling below the poverty level… he wouldn’t have made his fortune raiding American manufactures, dismantling equipment and stealing pension funds BEFORE making sure the jobs went to Asia… JEEZ, does humanity get any worse than THAT?
Really, did the reader see the photo of a young Mitt Romney along with his fellow trust fund baby scumbags, with $100 bills stuffed all over their $10,000 suits and body openings. The first time I saw that picture of Romney I thought of the movie classic “American Psycho”… THIS is the best Republicans GOT? No wonder everybody hates the Republican Corporate Socialist Party.
Y’know what Mitt baby? Just to show you what kind of guy I am, I’m going to wipe my dirty @$$ with a dollar bill and send it to you. If a stiff like you ever became President I’d lead the charge for the guillotine. I despise the Ivory Tower crowd, Mormon or No Mormon, the W.A.S.P.’s are ALL THE SAME!
I think what the Obama/Biden Administration accomplished is genius. The way I see it, President Obama has given the Republican Monkeys enough rope to hang themselves with. If nothing else they’ve exposed themselves to the wrath of GOD! (jinnbad.blogspot.com) Anyone with half a brain tied behind their back can see the GREEDY evil nature and low grade thought processes of Republicans.
To be honest the ONLY problem I have with Obama/Biden and Democrats in Congress (2006-08), is they do not possess that killer instinct needed to put our right-wing adversaries down once and for all. What happened to holding Republicans ACCOUNTABLE for all the waste, fraud, abuse, scandal, sexual deviancy, corruption, lies, deregulation, incompetence, job outsourcing, off-shore tax evasion, reckless economics, government welfare for the rich, war profiteering, Constitutional violations AND a Corporate Crime Wave of epic proportions. The WORST looting of a nation’s wealth and resources in the history of MANKIND! All the result of 8 years of Bush/Cheney and the Republican Controlled Congress of 1994-2006...
If one was REALLY a “great American” they would take a SECOND TO THINK about and then the 5 minutes it takes to Goggle fact check what Republicans in Congress, Conservative spokespersons and history revisionists like Mitt Romney are propagating. Progressives already KNOW the TRUTH AND THAT IS WHY WE ARE WORKING SO HARD AGAINST THE Republican Corporate Socialist Party.
Presently? NOT Mitt Romney nor any Conservative wacko has the capacity to understand the fact that 32% of Obama/Biden’s budget is to pay off the Bush/Cheney supplemental debt. Better for the Republican Party if you so-called news ancHOrs leave out the truth, right? Got to keep the likes of the Koch Bros happy, right?
I swear I’m going to make sure history shows Republican voters as silly, ignorant, self-absorbed, victimized, apathetic, racist, shameless, celebrity worshipping cowards. Conservative wacko choices have destroyed our political system. Bribery, graft and seditious activity are now known as lobbying, political action and voter suppression. Tell me please… what better definition of traitor than those who would corrupt the US election process?
The maddening part of this phenomenon is that Republicans/Conservatives either refuse or don’t possess the capacity to ADMIT THEY WERE WRONG! These shameless, right-wing hypocrites constantly make WEAK excuses, avoid accountability like the plague and dance around any issue like Charles Krauthammer… lol. Only in right-wing world can silver spoon LOSERS like Sarah Palin, William Kristol, Ann Coulter, George W. Bush, Jonah Goldberg, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney make a good living from being WRONG ALL THE TIME!
NOTE: (Let’s not forget Reagan/Bush trashing anti-Trust, union busting and DEREGULATION. The ROOT of all future Corporate scandal. We must go to the 90’s with Newt Gingrich/Tom Delay/Phil Gramm Republican’s to find out how Republicans sold out the American middle/working class. Cops in riot gear across the nation are gassing and shooting the WRONG PEOPLE! I’m NOT anti-police, I’M ANTI-ABUSE OF POWER!
NOTE: I see the Geneva Convention prohibits use of pepper spray in a foreign war zone… but it’s all right to use against students in the USA… No wonder Congress wants to end habeas corpus, f***’n traitors)
Hey FBI, ever hear of the R.I.C.O. Act? I know, I KNOW… it’s just a coincidence every time a Bush is in the White House the American PEOPLE have to suffer through banking fraud, scandal and corruption… K-St & Bank robbers love the Bush family, right? (Arrest George Bush) OR what about Republicans who are solidly behind tax cuts except for payroll tax cuts because that doesn’t affect their rich, silver spoon, trust fund baby masters.
JEEZ you Conservative wackos are stupid! I am somebody cyberbitchslap2.blogspot.com

After employing illegal aliens for 1 year ... hypocrite Romney is now waking up to fixing the border.
He is the one who needs to worry about Hispanic voters.
