Obama: 'Severely conservative'? Romney says he was 'severely kidding'

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Going into tonight’s vice-presidential debate, President Barack Obama did not mention his vice president during his remarks at the University of Miami. Instead he focused on labeling his opponent, former Gov. Mitt Romney, a flip-flopper.

“When he's asked about the cost of his tax plan, he just pretends it doesn't exist. What $5 trillion tax cut? I don't know anything about a $5 trillion tax cut. Don't pay no attention to the $5 trillion tax cut on my website,” the president joked. 

This was part of a coordinated attack that one Obama campaign staffer previewed earlier today when she said of Romney, “If you’ve been tuned into the race for two years or you simply clicked on his website, you’d be very familiar with his positions that are very similar to the extreme right wing of his party on many issues.”

And this speech made it clear that in the closing weeks of the election, comparing Romney to himself is the tactic the campaign is going to attempt to capitalize on. “He’s trying to go through an extreme makeover. After running for more than a year in which he called himself severely conservative. Mitt Romney is trying to convince you that he was severely kidding,” the president said. 

The president’s tone in the Sunshine State seemed tougher than even his speeches that came directly after last week’s underperformance in the first presidential debate. He bashed Romney’s economic plan and tried to link him to congressional republicans:

"Governor Romney will rubber-stamp the top-down agenda of this Republican Congress the second he takes office, and we cannot afford that future," Obama said. "His plan will not create jobs, it will not help the middle class, it will not speed the recovery, it will slow down the recovery, it will not reduce the deficit, it will not expand opportunity. We can't afford it. We're not going back. We are moving forward."

The president also pushed the start of early voting in Florida, “On October 27th…You can choose whether we go back to the policies that got us into this mess, or you can choose to keep moving forward with policies that have been getting us out of this mess.  That’s the choice.” 

According to the latest NBC News/WSJ/ Marist Poll, the president has a slim 1-point lead in Florida. Among likely voters, Obama is polling at 48% to Romney’s 47%.

Romney dumbs down his explanations because he panders to a dumbed down, low information voter base.

Keep up the flip-flops, Romney! We can't get enough of them!

Still kissing up to Obama but completely ignoring the reason Obama will lose next month... Obama's fine record of achievements will surely win, eh? Obama's current set of job's numbers... NOBODY can see through them... Not a soul... and anyone that does is a liar or a conspiracy theorist. In fact anyone that doesn't support Obama has their head screwed on too loosely. Don't you know that Obama is the bestest, smartest, hardest hitting, smack dab best person in the United States World!

Is that the way you do it liberals? Is that what goes through your mind? Is that the reason you will never admit how bad Obama has been for this country? Is that the primrose path you've been walking down? What color are the flowers along the path? Is there a tree canopy?

Mr. President, you do not know what you are talking about again. During the primaries the other Republican candidates were saying that Romney was to liberal. He has been labeled as a centrist. Sorry, but Romney is not the Romney that your campaign has invented. You found that out in the debate. Instead of talking about your opponent you should be talking about what you are doing to do to fix the economy. You do agree that after 4 years the economy is a mess. Your administration said that the stimulus bill would fix the unemployment problem. According to your administration unemployment should now be less than 6% but instead it is at 7.8%. Without conditions to include any action of congress, you promised that the 2012 federal deficit would not exceed 229.27 billion dollars yet in actuality the deficit exceeded 1.1 trillion dollars. You talk about starting to pay down the debt but your White House is still predicting huge deficits for at least another decade. You have yet to present a plan to pay back the debt. You have yet to tell the tax payers what all this federal borrowing is really going to cost them. Talk about being truthful, is your administration going to insist that it was a video that got our ambassador killed? It is you sir, Mr. President, whom that people cannot believe.

Ronald Reagan and his chief economic adviser did deficit spending stimulus to spur economic growth in 1982-1983. This is now considered liberal, but is it really?

Prescott Bush, among others, founded Planned Parenthood. Now, this is considered liberal, but is it really? By the way, Prescott Bush was George W. Bush's grandfather, an esteemed Republican Senator.

Richard Nixon signed Clean Air Act. Now, this is considered liberal, but is it ?

He'll say whatever he needs to make the sale and then wash his hands of the scum he had to deal with to get the Presidency. However I do believe that the scum he will wash his hands of are the Tony Perkin's crowd. They are in for a very rude awakening if they think Romney will do anything to benefit them.

    Actually, I wanted to discuss why the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association calls Mormons a "cult".

    www.billygraham.org/articlepage.asp?articleid=2072

    A cult is any group which teaches doctrines or beliefs that deviate from the biblical message of the Christian faith. It is very important that we recognize cults and avoid any involvement with them. Cults often teach some Christian truth mixed with error, which may be difficult to detect.

    There are some features common to most cults:

    •They do not adhere solely to the sixty-six books of the Bible as the inspired Word of God. They add their "special revelations" to the Bible and view them as equally authoritative.

    •They do not accept that our relationship to Jesus Christ is a reality "by grace through faith" alone, but promote instead a salvation by works.

    •They do not give Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God, full recognition as the second Person of the Trinity, composed of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

    Some of these groups are Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, the Unification Church, Unitarians, Spiritists, Scientologists, and others.

    Oh good Spanks - 3 million should do the job. Like you said, enough to keep them safe. Or should it be 10 million - will that do? Money is no object, right? I'm sure you'd be happy to spend 16 trillion, your favorite number, to keep them safe. Whatever it takes, right? Now you are suddenly an 'at any cost' guy. Typical GOPTP .. money is always an object, unless it comes to politicizing the death of an Ambassador, then the bank account is open.

    As I recall, the saying was dumb as a cow, regardless of breed. What is bothersome is this one still crows blame Obama, while hiding behind the death of an American citizen. This one can't stop squealing when it comes to pointing the blame. The constant braying behind the assumption that Obama should have stepped in to stop the attack is simply cockish on her part.

    Barnyard animals are great for herding and tending, flock and all. Much like the Fox News sheep, they learn by rote. The funny part of this post is the cow judging Lamb. The Holstein will never get it, but the last laugh is on "Jersey Girl", her cute but big eyed moniker. Cheese anyone?

    The recent history of Republican Party suggests they will always seek to increase Defense spending. For the last 50 years, this has been a unifying theme of the Republican Party... more for defense.

    When defense budgets go up, it makes it far easier to go to war.

    On the other hand, Republicans generally badmouth the UN because we can't be the boss. It seems to me that Republicans sometimes want to run the Earth.

    People don't like being told what to do. Countries don't like being told what to do either. Romney says he would tell them what to do. This he calls demonstrating US power. Problem is that it generally creates resentment in the country we're trying to boss around.

    Are Republicans warmongers? No. But, they like military force and they like to boss countries around. This is how you get into wars.

Why was he even there on 9-11. Maybe it was a State Dept screw-up, but the buck still stops at the very least with Sec. of State Clinton for that outfit.

They were encouraged to do so by people who wanted to bring down Capitalism. They were friends of Bill Ayers.

      After running for more than a year in which he called himself severely conservative. Mitt Romney is trying to convince you that he was severely kidding,

      Why is this a good strategy? The conservative right are going to vote for Romney - because they won't vote for President Obama. The left are going to vote for the President - because they won't vote for Romney.

      The middle of the road independents need to side one way or the other. An independent is more likely to side with a moderate instead of an extreme. The President is explaining to the independents why they should choose the Governor!

      Who's advising the President these days? Someone from my side.....?????

      Independents tend to be moderate and they also swing more towards a moderate Democrat than they do towards Republicans. The president is pointing out that Romney is severely conservative(by his own words). As usual Romney is trying to walk back his own admission. Romney is "severely" trying to win the Independents.

      Yeah, Bali Bob, Candy has trouble following along.

      She doesn't understand that if you pretend to be a "severe" conservative one day, and a moderate the next, neither side trusts you, and it could mean that Romney is a big old liar.

      This is hardly the first time the US has dropped their guard resulting in loss of life. I think when we are engaged in taking out other regimes, like Lybias past dictator, and trying to establish some kind of order in a war-torn, splintered area, this might be expected to happen. Most of the four testifying said additional support would not have made a difference, unless that support came with artillery power. They should have just closed that post, but it is not what the ambassador wanted.

      Feisty you and all the other democrats who are overlooking what happened to our Ambassador and those four other Americans disgust me. Your remarks and jokes about the situation are repugnant - be that you were slaughtered like an animal the way these patriots were. The last debate is on foreign affairs and the air will get cleared - and it is a sad story. Hillary is not going to stand by, as was evidenced today, and be left hung out to dry to try and save Barack's backside. All of you should put yourselves in the shoes of these parents and families....and all the dead that keep coming home in coffins. You don't see any of the mainstream media reporting on the daily deaths of our young men - they can't - it doesn't fit with Obama's narrative. The President is a coward who ties the hands of our military - we should either fight to win or get the hell out of Afghanistan. How would you feel if you were a parent and your son was killed and the media has no interest in reportiing on it ?- they're too busy talking about Big Bird. CBS has allowed one of their reporters to tell the truth and CNN is beginning to do so. Obama and Biden need go the way of those they profess to care about. Send Obama's arse to the southside of Chicago with his hands tied behind his back like the hands of our military - he wouldn't last long - I doubt Miss Oprah will drive her Volvo into that hood to try and rescue his sorry....

      He did not call it a bump in the road, and as far as what he was doing publicly, I don't think we are really privy to what is going on behind the scenes at all levels. If I remember correctly, the president was attending some function while the take down of Bin Laden was proceeding. We don't know, and there is really no sense in second-guessing.

        Diogenese - Romney wants to strengthen our military to project the kind of strength that would make any foe think twice before messing with us. He wants to get rid of Obamacare which will be the single largest tax increase on the Middle class in our history. Obama took great steps to be sure the parts of Obamacare that are goinig to hit your and my wallet doesn't kick in until next year. Romney plans to unleash the energy opportunities in this country to not only bring down the cost of energy but also to add hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs. Romney is a caring disciplined man who has quietly donated millions and personally given a hand to hundreds of less fortunate Americans. He is the kind of President that our youth can look up to as the best of America and a role model for all.

        S Allison

        I have no faith in the notion that the US military which is already far superior to the rest of the world's millitaries requires strengthening. It requires adequate direction and engagement in appropriate use of force. I haven't heard any such direction from Romney.

        Obamacare, as you call it, does some very good things. I haven't heard how Romney will preserve these portions although he claims he wants to. If Romney can't explain how he will enact the portions of Obamacare he wants to keep why should I believe that he can?

        Both Romney and Obama claim that they want to improve our energy independance. Neither one has provided any details. Why should I believe either one?

        Jimmy Carter was a kindly and generous man who gave much of his wealth and time to charitible causes - he was not a very effective president. So why should I consider Romney's generosity a qualification for office?

        Platitudes are not what I am looking for -give me something of substance.

        newday - if the media covered it better you would be aware that Obama has the military trying to prosecute a war without any collateral loss of life - meaning protect the local people to the point that our guys can't protect themselves. In any war there is loss of life - Obama has made the calculated decision that we can lose our guys in an effort to have less civilian casualties - talk to any military - they are being asked to fight with one arm behind their back - if we aren;t goiing to fight to win - we need to bring these guys home. Would you want your son/daughter or spouse to lose their life and not have the American population aware of it - have no one thankful that their life may have been lost - but it helped us 'win' and save more lives in the long run? The lives are now being lost in a war that we are not fighting to win and the media is treating these deaths as if they are not happening - Obama has them swept under the carpet - no talking about it - no reporting on it.
