Not election season yet? Better get with it. I suspect that comment is just to keep the other side off their game. I guarantee you they will smear the President and his family at every opportunity and Romney and wife lack spines, like McCain had, to correct the misinformation overload that is coming. So the President's campaign staff better stay awake.
Think Progress:
Forget appealing to independents, Mitt Romney has major gaps in his base, a new Gallup poll finds. The presumed GOP presidential nominee is struggling among Midwesterners, young voters, the highly religious, and conservative Republicans.

It's election season for Mitt. He has nothing else to do.
No, Obama says its not election season so he can fly around the country giving campaign speeches and have us foot the bill because he SAYS it's not a campaign speech.
Fools nobody, but you would not expect a network that doctors audio tapes in order to foment racial unrest to call him on it, would you?
By the way, the WaPo called him on his invoking Reagan

What do you expect from a man who lied about his own dying mother? The truth about anything at all?
no joe, that's some governor you have there in New Jersey. Lying through his teeth, like all Republicans. Jobs? Who needs jobs? His speech yesterday was pathetic. He's nothing but a fat bully.
And the person who edited the tape was fired. It was journalists at NBC who insisted on it. And that's because they're what you would call - real journalists.
Go back to Fox, where you feel right at home with the tv hosts who represent exactly what the dumbing down of America has done to people in this country.
Hey Pat, how do you know the person was fired?
Got a name? Got an NBC report about it?
If you do I would like to see it.
You folks and your Fox News talking point is really, really, stale. You need to get together and come up with something else.
Let's all get upset about upsetting Ann Romney, okay? The couple, early in their marriage, who when they were low on cash, just sold stock.
Meanwhile,
Think Progress:
Foster Friess, the billionaire conservative donor who almost single-handedly funded the Super PAC backing Rick Santorum and has now vowed to support Mitt Romney, made a joke about an assassination attempt on President Obama. In an interview on Fox Business, Friess said, “There are a lot of things that haven’t been hammered at because Rick and Mitt have been going at each other. Now that they have trained their barrels on President Obama, I hope his teleprompters are bullet-proof.” In a follow-up interview with ABC, he said he regretted the remark.
*********
This guy will now support Romney. Sick SOBs, all of them.
No Joe just go away your hate shows more everyday. Your hate has consumed you for so long your posts are incoherent. You have the right to believe the lies and be misinformed by the tea people Koch republicans. Normal voters aren't buying the lies and misinformation.
My governor? You mean Christie? Who says what he thinks and has a 59% approval rating in a blue state?
Yeah, I can understand your governor envy.
So, tell me, Pat, what's the NAME of the person NBC supposedly fired? And why, since the full tape was available, did no one stop to say- hey, this version makes it sound like a racist statement was being made, when clearly, it was not.
Why no on-air apology? Why no full acceptance of responsibility?
CNN corrected its misinterpretation of what was heard on the tape ON AIR.
ABC corrected its misinterpretation of what was seen on video ON AIR. That's what professional journalists do- their corrections are as public as their original errors.
This? It's pretty hardto cut up an audio tape accidentally. Nope, this is a lot more like Dan Rather's deliberate use of patently phony documents.
They may be playing cutesy among themselves, but they are paying in the court of public opinion. That's where it hurts.
It will especially hurt Obama- every news report on his awesome wonderfulness will be seen through the lens of this disgraceful action. CBS fired Dan Rather and the producer responsible for that phony story. If NBC does less, they pay the price.
Even the RWNJ's hero's website has reported it!
You really should pull your head out of your rectum sometime!
There a great big world out there...
Oh, and,take the raving lunatic from NJ with ya!
Hey Mo, what part of No Joe's post was incoherent to you.
Cuz, all it was, see, was facts.
Ahhh, now I get it.
It is the facts that you folks find incoherent.
That explains a hell of a lot.
Well, I guess if Obama/Carney say so, it must be a lie.
The producer was reportedly fired Thursday,
What part of "Reportedly" don't you Libs understand?
Again, Got a name? Got any confirmation?
You don't so give it a rest.
NBC News had no comment on the firing.
NBC is corrupt and I stay here to make sure that I , at least, know just how corrupt they are.
Feisty, I don't know how you stand reading them. I really don't. The GOP of today is a party no decent person should want to be associated with.
Of course you don't read them Pat.
How very tolerant of you.
It makes it all the easier when, like on this thread, you get called on your BS.
You get to trudge along in your willful ignorance.
Of course you won't read this, so again, happy trudging.
They have the audacity to talk about NBC? Look at Rupert Murdoch and what's happening with his media empire. haha.
Pat, blaming Rupert Murdoch is called deflection and you still haven't named who got fired.
Well, I for one am happy to know Barney Fife is on the case - we can all sleep easier knowing WCA is protecting us! lmfao
You really are precious!
I mean really... really... precious!
Now run along, I've grown tired of bitch slapping you!
Sorry White Collar Auto. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings by not including you in my earlier post. If it makes you feel better, you are incoherent also. Feel better now?
"Sorry White Collar Auto. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings..."
WCA has a problem with being immature and irrational. Don't take it personally.
Bitch slapping me Feisty?
Really?
Only in your narrow little world.
No, I don't think I will run along now. People like you are a disgrace and need to be called out for the hypocrites that you are.
Sailcat - Immature and irrational?
I've called you on your BS before Sailcat. Point out one post of immaturity or irrationality or apologize.
You can't do the first and won't do the second, so I won't hold my breath.
Same goes for you MO.
It is obvious that I have hit a nerve.
"The lady doth protest too much, me thinks"
You forgot ignorant! ☺
Is it any wonder the auto industry was on the verge of collapse? You got this guy posting illogical nonsense all day from work while collecting a pay check! lol
Never do, waay to much fun watching him go into full blown melt-down like above!
When that fails he moves on to playing the victim! lmao
"I like Tacos."
Hey, WCA! This a direct quote you posted on the thread on Hispanics and their opinions on the expanded role of government. It is irrational, immature, and it contains more than just a whiff of racism. It is not directed at any other comments, so it was just your childish contribution to an otherwise mature discussion.
My low opinion of you is confirmed.
What is irrational about liking tacos? Many would disagree.
It is always election season. Candidates/elected officials of both sides are ALWAYS campaigning.
In 2012, only one side is spending $$mega-millions FOR THE PURPOSE OF LYING & disinformation = the GWB Rove faction.
President Carter in an interview, reminded us that back in his day you had the option to check off $3 or $4 dollars on your tax return, for Presidential elections. That's all.
No $$mega-million American Crossroads lie machine, no Citizen's United required, and not that long ago.
I have yet to see an Obama campaign ad with lies in it. Romney's first ad edited a statement of the President out of context to say the exact opposite of what he said and he has continued from there, up to and including yesterdays' misstatements about the impact of the recession on women. There is a big difference between honestly stating one's positions and lying.
Steeler, I have yet to see an Obama campaign add that didn't have a lie in it. Every time he flaps his jowls he is lying. "Republicans want dirty air and dirty water and want to throw autistic kids out in the streets". Pathetic.
rocco - Fact Checker rates President Obama's Tom Hank's campaign film / ad with 3 Pinocchicos. This means the ad contains -- "Significant factual error and/or obvious contradictions."
Does this equate to a lie?
On Very Expensive GOP Lies: American Crossroads are spending obscene amounts to blame gas prices on President Obama.
Rove and President Bush know oil is a global commodity.
No Congress, Administration or President can set global oil prices.

It isn't the campaign season yet so says Mr. Obama! Hasn't the man been campaining since elected?
No. He has been leading the polls against the GOP's losers through their own public gaffes and embarrassing antics. When President Obama begins to campaign in earnest you will be able to tell because the press will be referring to ol' Etch-A-Sketch as Whatsisname.
Sailcat,
You're right guy, it is time to take the gloves off and attack him with everything it takes to remove him from office. Without question, he'll use every smear he can to go on the offensive against Mitt.
He has no choice, for when you do look objectively at his record, both domestic and foreign, what can he run on?
He's a loser Sail!
He's going to win, whiney. You know it and so does Etch-A-Sketch. It's all over except the laughing...
Right. Who would ever vote for the black Alfred E. Newman but you and the libs.
And the laugh should be on you when THE BARRY and the rest of the libs due for reelection fail to win seats.
"Who would ever vote for the black Alfred E. Newman but you and the libs."
Well, my racist friend, you could include women, seniors, union workers, minorities, and moderates among President Obama's constituency. When you think about it, all the GOP has left among its supporters are the shrill snivelers of the right wing lunatic fringe and a handful of neo-nazi militias. It is definitely not enough to push Etch-A-Sketch over the top, but it might be just enough to nudge the GOP over the edge!
Two items Sailcat, I'm not a racist and not your friend.
Now how do you determine I am a racist? Why, when you libs cannot defend yourselves, do you bring out the racist card in your argument?
If you want a racist and bigot, look at the Bev's comments
"Two items Sailcat, I'm not a racist and not your friend."
Well, you're not my friend, that's true.
And not a racist! I just don't agree with the Obama objectives.
Sure, whiney. Everyone will believe that one, I'm sure.
Uh - Oh Mr. President when you make comments like this it may not be election season, but it sure is "open Season" -
from cnsnews-
Speaking Friday at what the administration called “The White House Forum on Women and the Economy,” President Barack Obama said that after his two daughters were born, he and his wife—both Harvard Law School graduates—could not afford the “luxury” of having her stay home with the children.
Cause see the Obamas required the nearly $500k/year that their dual incomes brought in to just "scrape by".
I hope North Korea's rocket self destructs - wouldn't that be a giggle.
Honestly, having them as your ally and neighbor has got to drive China bat @!$%# crazy. I wish we would just isolate North Korea and let China take full responsibility for providing humanitarian aid.
We send in a shipment of food, they test another rocket and then we go back and do it again. Stop - we are enabling them!
Kathryn, they have tried to send up this kind of satellite before and failed. Seems they tend to burn up as they leave the atmosphere.
I'm with you, it would great to see an implosion on the launch pad.
This one is suppose to be a satellite that plays music honoring Kim Jong Il " Our Fearless Leader".
Kind of disgusting if you ask me.
White Collar - Their failure record precedes them - that's why Japan is standing by.
oooh - even better - if it fell over China!
And did you see their command center contained 16 technicians and 6 phones. I don't even think they had real time footage on their launch screens.
If you are going to do fake - at least make it look like you are a serious fake.
Surely with all of the money they are saving on food for their people they could afford a little more snaz in their Pretend Broadcast Center.
I gotta stop posting -I'm getting mean
I wonder if the folks on the right realize how petty it makes them seem to constantly rail about the President doing campaigning at their expense. How petty to treat the President as if he must punch a time clock and account for his time when he takes the time to be with his family or have some recreation or run for office. And do they think that the White House doesn't have procedures to account for the costs of his travel? Oh, I forgot---they begrudge him the use of Air Force One.
Did they say anything when George Bush did all the same things? Of course not.
I will be glad when november gets here. I am sure you people will be pissed and we will have another hanging chad issue but in the end we will have a new President. One we can take pride in. On who has some leadership and that will be a good day.
I like keeping the GREAT President we have now. It's looks like the majority of Americans feel the same way. So, we will get a new President in 2016.
Maybe Hillary.
