a harsh word to him since he was potty trained.

Well, he's getting more potty training now.

I also think the republicans aren't used to being up against a guy like Obama. Obama got sick of their shit and has decided to bring a cannon to a gunfight. And the republicans are stuck with a pampered wuss.

The Obama campaigned wanted to instill a false sense of security inside the Romney campaign by making them think Bain was going to be out of bounds for the election and they relaxed and got complacent about it.

Then Bain blew up in their faces catching them off guard and they didn't know whether to shit or go blind.

Don

I hope you are correct about that, is there anything on the internets about this? I would like to have a better opinion of him

It was a charade that worked so well it even had a lot of Democrats fooled and up in arms. That is the only way something like that works. Everyone has to be fooled or it doesn't work.

Just have to give it some thought and it makes perfect sense.

I knew something was up at the time. Not sure exactly how it was supposed to work. But it is obvious now what the plan was all along.

There are never any coincidences in politics.

Don

We are never that strategic. Also, Corey Booker is an up and coming super star. No way would he give that up, turn the base against him, to advance Obama or anybody else. And the party really can't afford to throw away someone that gifted and charismatic. Naah. Maybe some other Dem who is going nowhere. But not Corey Booker.

I wish the Democratic party was that strategic and focused. But it's not.

The Obama campaign is a different story, but I doubt even they could get Corey Booker to betray his own principles, and those of the party faithful, to that degree.

That is just my theory.

Nothing more.

I am not invested in this idea or anything. I didn't even know who Cory Booker was before he talked about Bain that day.

Don

What, exactly, did that preening little puke demand an apology for?

Cory Booker made a huge mistake. He's very ambitious and thought he should curry favor with the venture capital crowd because they are some of the very people that backed his campaigns for mayor of Newark. He miscalculated and damaged his brand in the party, maybe irreparably. He certainly won't be reaching the national level anytime soon.

Doesn't bother me.

Don

He screwed up, got taken to the woodshed and we haven't heard a peep from him since he went on several shows to try to clean up his mistake. Meanwhile the President's campaign completely disregarded him and continue with their Bain bashing, which happens to be working beautifully.

I hadn't heard. They gave him a second chance, huh. Betcha we won't hear any praise for vulture capitalist firms come out of his mouth again as the anti-Bain campaign is working brilliantly for the President.

He had been towing the big-money line for as long as I've seen him. I really do hope that the Obama camp had something to do with shutting him down. It would restore my faith in the democratic party. Our party has SOOOOO been taken over by people to the right of Barry Goldwater. That's why I keep saying:

[h1]AN EAGLE CANNOT FLY WITH TWO RIGHT WINGS![/h1]

And THIS America, THIS Eagle, has not been able to fly for a couple of decades. In fact, we've barely escaped crashing & burning on more than one occasion.

"Criminal intent to defraud the government of the United States" has a nice ring to it......

That's complete speculation, and doesn't seem very likely to me at all.

in the dirt.

Let him eat street and swallow his teeth.

Good night miTT.

But I agree - he is used to having employees jumping to serve. He is so used to buying everything and anything - including people and their obedience.

Seems like he simply can't understand that his money can't buy the countries appreciation and admiration.

We will start to see more and more of his nasty side now.

In the GOP primary -- think Florida. His thin skin will also be his undoing.

And in between, sulking about because people just don't get him.

It would be good to see his nasty side come out on TV, I am sure it would be enough to make it so we never have to see his smarmy face or listen to his lies again.

That might be newsworthy.

some preparation. I think Kennedy hit him pretty hard as well. My fear is that he's waiting for the Super PAC money to come in and drown out all the criticism. That's why we've got to really damage his credibility and image now, with the hope that the big money boys can't save him.

There are just too many people in this country who know what it's like to lose jobs because of vampire capitalists like him. And the nonsense about not being involved with Bain Capital during the worst of its excesses just doesn't wash with them. He reminds them of every lousy boss they ever had.

Bingo.

They can't come to Romney's defense per se. They can't support a candidate; they can only attack who they don't like. That doesn't mean they can't say "Obama is a liar when he claims Romney shipped jobs overseas". They can't, however, say "Romney created 100,000 jobs at Staples"; only Romney claim that.

This is not something Mr Rmoney Golden Underwear is accustomed to. I think the Obama campaign knows this and are trying their best to get under his skin and its working.

hey Bob, it is armored underwear, but Robme probably had his gold-plated. At any rate, we'll soon see how well the armor works. Not very well, would be my guess.

less corrosion.

For Romney it is probably better that he is taking the weekend off. That being said, Team Obama, needs to tweak him back up next week and see if he goes into major meltdown mode.

Republicans can try to spin this, but their boy went on TV and begged like a wuss for an apology. Very, very un-Presidential.

he seemed to think he was going to get an apology.

Yes, I'd say he is experiencing something quite new here. He's always been able to buy, bully, order his way out of any situation. "Law, he don't need no stinkin' law" he's mega rich.

and did it, partially, on the Bain issue. Romney has a habit of underestimating his opponents, imo. He did that with Kennedy and he has done it again with Obama.

He is, I think, led by his arrogant belief, voiced by his wife, that it's HIS turn and is learning a painful lesson, yet again, NO ONE gets an automatic 'buy-in'.

I expect to see Rev Wright ads any day now. Wouldn't be surprised to see the name Bill Ayers pop up again too. It won't work because America has had the real Obama as president for 3 1/2 years, but what else do they have? They'll throw everything at him to see what sticks before this is over.

They might be able to scare people with the "he has nothing to lose so will go buck wild" ploy but if they've got anything up their sleeve it's sure not obvious what it might be.

Not with the wack shit his "church" promotes. The White Horse Prophecy should be enough to keep Rev Wright off the air.

He just doesn't get it when situations are not in his razor thin world view.

This is some deep shit for him.

he has been running around for years calling President Obama every name in the book now he can't take it when he gets some hit back on his lies.

He hasn't seen nothing yet!

Also reminds me of Trump,someone else who thinks he is suppose to get his way because of his money.

whining piece of shit.

aw f*** I am LOVING IT

They will come out blasting though. Remember who we're dealing with.

he did to John Lauber and Seamus.

I'd like to think that Lauber is smiling from heaven for all who were victims of bullies.

like a spoiled rich little brat he's not used to not getting his way.

piece of shit.

And can give no favors for the "donations" what's he gonna do?

The 1% get really really nasty when they lose on a gamble.

It's just next door to France.

C'est une joke.

I do think about it, Don. I also think about what is going to happen to Mitt when he debates Obama. It won't be pretty and if anyone thinks MItt is whining now, they ain't seen nothing yet.

I can hardly wait.

and trying to understand the situation thru your own eyes. Let's take look thru his eyes: he is incapable of empathy, he manipulates people for his own use, deception is typical, he does not see it as deception, he is remorseless, and could care less how you feel once he steals this election!!!
Give it a break, keep your heel in his back and we may have a chance!

But they still could buy the election, and let's not forget that for a minute.

They made Kucinich apologize for saying Bush lied America into a war in the congressional record and Pelosi made him retract his comment.

I think their shocked this time to see the Democrats under Obama say, "No."

When Obama brings up Bain. It will be the first time a lot of people have heard about Romney and Bain and Romney knows this and it will make him livid if he has to discuss this issue in a debate.

really doubt he demands apologies from underlings.
Yes - this is new territory for him. He gets snarky with tv interviewers who dare ask him real questions.

always right and never ever wrong. One that never mans up and admits to being wrong. Hell I work for one of those stupid pricks right now!

not a whole lot though.

I think he's just barely holding on now.. Imagine how close to the edge he might be in a couple months!
