media pundits are going to harp on this false equivalency. Now is the perfect time to make this clear, when the pundits and people like Kristol have to admit that Mitt fucked up.

The media ran with the out of context comment by Pres. Obama, however, this is different. It was not out of context and I think if the whole video is shown, there will be some other unpleasant surprises for Romney and his campaign staff.

It's the falsest of your bullshit equivalencies, which is saying something.

In the last paragraph he makes the point that you have to keep going out and talking to both the folks who agree with you and the folks who don't. HE doesn't write anyone off, not even those who oppose him:

is talking to elite $50,000 a plate power mongers.

Obama is explaining how everyone should be respected and we should understand that people look to things to give them an individual sense of power or hope.

Romney is just dismissing those who are in need and convincing the rich to be even more oblivious to the suffering of the poor and that he is sure that it's not part of his job to worry about that worthless part of America. It's the shareholders not the workers mentality.

Very different situations with different intent and purpose.
