Anyone remember that BIG DEAL Obama video they tried to peddle a few days ago?

I just realized that I'd forgotten all about it!

Obama, being black and talking to black people... a real GAME CHANGER!

Man, that WAS a big deal, wasn't it?

So they could use video of the "angry black man" but to bad for Romoney our guy did not take the bait he gave them no sound bites to use.

Look it up.

Can't believe these prigs actually have "debate tactics" (I know, I'm naive.)

Essentially cover your opponent in bullshit - really fast - thereby leaving him in a muddle of where to start?!

(God I hate saying that...esp. since I'm 57 yo. But it seemed a propos. I love saying a propos!)

I think he may have had a sphincter spasm over that...on the debate stage. He started out so tight, and they may have gotten inside his head with that! What do you think?

Like the snake he is. The only thing missing was a forked slithering tongue.

They trotted out that old Rev Wright video and had planed to say "see, I told you so", if Obama had taken the bait.
