After listening to the radio and watching a few news shows today... there is a common theme

the journalist keep asking why Obama didn't grill Romney on the 47%....

over and over and over again.

And they mentioned that Obama commented on the 47% today on the campaign trail today.

multiple times.

Only one person isn't talking about the 47%... the guy who talked about it in the first place.

Dear Obama,

I see what you did there.

Of course, that was probably his planned response to the expected question and I'm extremely glad that President Obama didn't give him the opportunity to make that statement to 50 million viewers.

It's almost as though there's an Obama mole in the Rmoney camp. We can only hope.
