Do you realize how desperate Mitt has become?

The recent attacks on Obama's speech about how nobody has achieved their wealth completely without any government help demonstrates how desperate Mitt has become.

They've taken Obama's comments out of context because they desperately want to make it sound that Obama is against business. The thing that's standing in the way of their goal is the fact that Obama isn't against business.

What the public is seeing is Mitt crawling all over, looking for anything that would show Obama is against business. Mitt is crawling with his fellow crawlers in the dirt of birtherism, and Obama "isn't a real American"-ism. What Mitt is actually doing, is proclaiming that he is a desperate creep who has no business in our government. Mitt, you are a lying pos!

1. Desperate or not, the sad fact is that it works.

Some of the pundits on MSNBC point out that Romney's distorting Obama's words, most pundits don't, and most people believe what they see on TV. Obama can be honest about what he believes and about what Romney has done. Romney lies both about what he believes and what Obama has done. But, most people only hear what's said. They don't evaluate the credibility of the speaker.

The Obama campaign has the difficult job of showing people that Romney is lying.

Rmoney donor's comment 'the common people just don't understand'. I very much disagree with both views, which are really the same view.
