Obama is just kicking back with his feet up on the desk. The work has been done for him...

Actually, this could be downright handy for ole Mittens. Instead of waiting for someone to tell him his "position", he can just pick out something new every day.

I don't see anything in there which hasn't already been used against him in this go-round.

And Obama certainly isn't going to use something like Romney's pro-choice history against him like it was a bad thing!

ETA: But then again, who expected Newt Gingrich would take the marxist route and attack venture capitalism?

It's a strange, strange world.

At a glance, it's fairly comprehensive, but consists mainly of already widely-reported stories. It also has lots of potentially derogatory information about surrogates from the 2008 campaign, which presumably is fairly irrelevant now.

Actually, as I read through this there's some pretty embarrassing stuff from his Bain days that hasn't really been aired yet:

There are quotes that make him seem arrogant and insensitive to laid-off workers:

- 'I won the lottery. I got into something called venturecapital just when the stock market went from, I don’t know, a couple thousand to almost 10,000. I was absolutelyin the right place at the right time.’

- Romney describes himself as a “business legend” in his campaign ads and once said of himself: “I’m basicallyin the investor’s Hall of Fame.”

and there's some politically embarrassing stuff, though without any evidence of genuine wrongdoing:

-“A Needham clinical laboratory [whose parent company had Romney on its board of directors] agreed yesterday to pay $119million in criminal and civil fines after pleading guilty to charges that it defrauded the nation’s Medicare system byseeking reimbursements on millions of dollars worth of unnecessary blood tests. … Damon Clinical LaboratoriesInc. admitted it tried to boost its profits by submitting the unnecessary tests. The company, the government said,misled doctors into ordering the tests, ensuring that they would be covered by Medicare, the federal health careprogram for the elderly.”

- Through his profit-sharing at Bain, Romney was indirectly taking considerable Iranian oil money in 2004. This after he had called for economic divestment from Iran.

While none of this stuff was secret, much of it seems like it would fit fairly well into attack ads and the like.

NOt really. I think people have had enough of the Vulture Capitalists.

Just because you aren't out taking a dump in a park doesn't mean you approve of the corruption on Wall Street.

YOu know what annoys the hell out of me. I've been talking about this stuff for FIVE YEARS now.

Damon Medical is old news.

Not sure where you get that figure. Most people like him as a person, just don't approve of the job he's doing.

And it like the joke about the two campers who are running from a bear. I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you.

He just has to be more likable than Romney.

No they haven't. This president still enjoys a VERY high "likability" rating. His approval rating isn't as high as it has been, but it's also not as low as it has been.

I think you might be mishearing numbers from one of your right wing talking heads. The latest poll said that 50% of the people voting FOR Romney are actually just voting against President Obama. Nobody likes Romney.

personally..I don't find anything likable about the man..he's like a petulant child that needs to grow up.

Perhaps. But compared to a Mitt Romney who made his fortune screwing working folks and acts like the rest of us are peasents, he's still more likable.

You will need to work on that. drum up support for the phrase.

It hasnt been picked up by MSM, given enough time you might even get an original idea.

I think there's an argument to be made.

Conservatives are willing to support a liberal.

Evangelicals are willing to support a Mormon heretic.

Because they all just hate Obama so much, they just want to beat him, they don't care how.
