This is why Obama needs to get aggressive in challenging Romney

I got this email just tonight.. I have shortened it just so you get the idea of what was said without having to read a whole bunch of crap..

At the end you will see what this has to do with the election:


Subject: Fw: Fw: FW: Better Safe than Sorrry - Tell Your Daughters & lady friends



This is scary so I'm passing this on.



Subject: FW: Better Safe than Sorry - Tell Your Daughters & lady friends

Warning For Women...Serious!

MAKE SURE YOUR DAUGHTERS, FRIENDS, RELATIVES, ETC. KNOW!



Dear Friends: I know not all of you are women that I am sending this to, but am hoping you will share this with your wives, daughters, mothers, sisters, etc. Our world seems to be getting crazier by the day. Be careful. I was approached yesterday afternoon around 5:30 PM in the Wal-Mart parking lot by two men asking what kind of perfume I was wearing. Then they asked if I'd like to sample some fabulous scent they were willing to sell me at very reasonable rate.

THIS IS NOT PERFUME... IT IS ETHER!

When you sniff it, you'll pass out. They'll take your wallet, your valuables and heaven knows what else. If it were not for this e-mail, I probably would have sniffed the 'perfume' but thanks to the generosity of an e-mailing friend, I was spared whatever might have happened to me. I wanted to do the same for you.

PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS AND PLEASE BE ALERT AND BE AWARE. IF YOU ARE A MAN AND RECEIVE THIS, PASS IT ON TO YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS.



Now the entire thing is totally false and has been proven false.

.but the woman that sent it to my wife is a reasonably intelligent person.. but this is not the first such thing she has sent..and there are tens of thousands of just such fake emails that are believed and forwarded on. I got one about Obama just the other day.. Its absolutely amazing what the average person will believe IF THERE IS NOTHING TO COUNTER WHAT IS SAID...


All of which brings me to my point...Obama CAN NOT allow bullshit and lies to go unchallenged..truth will not out by itself..never has and never will..

So bring it on Romney..we are ready for it now!
