Obama calls Romney speech 'a cow pie of distortion'

DES MOINES, IA – President Barack Obama delivered one of his most direct attacks against Mitt Romney here Thursday night, painting Romney as an out-of-touch corporate raider.

At this event, held before an enthusiastic crowd of 2,500 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, Obama reminded the crowd that Romney said “corporations are people,” while stumping in Iowa last August during the Republican primary. The president said there may be value in Romney’s experience in corporate buyouts, “but it’s not in the White House.”

He also noted that the former governor doesn’t talk about his record in Massachusetts. Speaking directly to Iowans, Obama used local lingo to slam Romney: “Governor Romney came to Des Moines last week and warned of a prairie fire of debt,” he said. “But he left out some facts. His speech was more like a cow pie of distortion.”

Then he quipped, “I don’t know whose record he twisted the most – mine or his.”

Obama warned his supporters that this race would be tougher than 2008 and argued that he represents the future and Romney the past. "We don't need another political fight about ending women's right to choose or getting rid of Planned Parenthood," Mr. Obama said as the crowd erupted into cheers.

1. lawrence o'donnell's stand in just called him Mitt the Mendacious.

[cyberswede]

2. No doubt geared for his Iowa audience.

It's hilarious anyway!

Full disclosure: I'm in Iowa

3. Rachel Maddow's bit on Romney tonight was funny

She was proposing that Romney, who has a reputation for being an orderly and disciplined robot is actually much more gaffe-prone than Biden. She showed a recent clip of Romney laughing about a kid's weird hair, oblivious to the recent story about giving a gay kid a forced haircut in high school. Then she showed a clip of Romney at a school today surrounded by students and participating in a lesson where the teacher asked the students for an example of alliteration. Romney's contribution was the sentence "dogs drive Douglas dizzy". Romney used "dogs" and "drive" in the same sentence and was smiling like the village idiot.

6. Those are priceless.

By the end of nit-Rom-wit's campaign, his handlers are going to look like this:

[Woody Woodpecker]

19. What on earth is he doing?

[pacalo]

31. It's a "nervous condition".

[rocktivity]

4. Well, what with Rachel Maddow referring to Dick Cheney

as "the concentrated distillate left in the bong water," Obama had no choice but to "up" his game!

5. Nothing on YouTube yet... in the morning it'll be viral.

wait for it...

[tabatha]

7. Mitt do not mess with Obama.

There will be worse coming back at you.

[tabatha]

8. I think Mitt's mendacity should be

joked about by cartoonists, talked about by talking-heads, blogged by bloggers. etc, until he becomes completely tarred and feathered with his own tongue. Borowitz and Letterman, you have a job to do.

I really liked Bashir's final comment about Mitts' non-drinking - it is more important what comes out of your mouth than what you put in it.

[tblue37]

9. Translation: Cow pie = Bull S**t. nt

[Oldtimeralso]

29. Do You Mean Toro Poo Poo? n/t

[tblue37]

40. Nah--that would be "caca de toro" (or "mierda de toro", if you want to be more formal). nt

[Whisp]

10. o now that got me lmao.

cow pie of Massive distortion.

[colorado_ufo]

11. This is a truly great line:

Then he quipped, “I don’t know whose record he twisted the most – mine or his.”

That could go down with such Truman gems as, "The buck stops here," and, "I don't give them hell; I just tell the truth, and they think it's hell."

[Kablooie]

12. Wow. This is s different Obma fron the last election.

He's actually attacking with exagerated rhetoric.

[countryjake]

13. That's actually a pretty polite way to phrase it...

[HCE SuiGeneris]

14. K & R

[avaistheone1]

15. Good one!

[scoostraw]

16. I can't wait until Obama debates Romney in person

It will be worth the wait I think.

[Control-Z]

18. Do you know what,

and if, there is a legal requirement for presidential debate? I'm afraid Romney might just try and wiggle out of debating Obama. The way he won't give interviews it would be indicated, I think.

[hifiguy]

23. Another DUer said it's a done deal - scheduled, venued, etc.

Watching Mittens attempt to hold his own with the POTUS is gonna be more fun than a barrel of half-witted monkeys. Obama will be able to subtly needle Rmoney into saying something monumentally stupid.

[wordpix]

39. It won't matter to the stupids & greedmongers, though - they'll still like Rmoney

[yellowcanine]

17. Thread is useless without a pic of a cow pie. Not everyone knows what it is. So here:

Romney's Cow Pie of Distortion

[lunatica]

21. Add this to it and we have the perfect GOP scent

[Auntie Bush]

32. Hmmm, Is that a nice chocolate cookie for Romney?

[crunch60]

20. How about.."Mitt the Twit"

You twit! Not so rude as calling someone an idiot but it amounts to the same thing. Remember Monty Python's "Twit of the Year" competition?

[gratuitous]

22. Roll out the fainting couches

Oh my stars and garters! That Obama is just so mean to poor Mitt. This will surely give David Gregory, Chuck Todd and the rest of Beltway Insider Crowd such an attack of the vapors. And on a holiday weekend. Oh, the pain and the shame of it all. This will probably be morphed into an insult to the troops or something.

In the meantime, actual voters will surely raise the support level for Obama, who is at last beginning to act like the president we elected him to be.

[liberalnationalist]

27. let them

no one watches those stupid sunday shows except me

[JohnnyLib2]

24. Love it! I'm stocking up on cowpies for the fall.

Somehow, they'll come in handy....

[jtuck004]

25. I think as a noun it's "cowpie", not "Cow Pie". There is no chopped cow in there. Just sayin...

Man, hope I didn't just step in it. Gotta watch the exits after those Rmoney speeches.

On edit, I see someone else knows this.

[Bill USA]

26. FUCKIN' 'A' .... FINALLY HE'S TALKING STRAIGHT ABOUT THE BS ROMNEY (& all GOPers) throw out!

KEEP IT UP MR. "O"! KEEP BEING FRANK ABOUT THE BULLSHIT BEING SPREAD BY THOSE WHO HAVE DEMONSTRATED THEIR POLICIES OF OVER-TAXING THE MIDDLE CLASS, CUTTING SUPPORT FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT AND DEREGULATION WERE AN UNMITIGATED FAILURE AND PRODUCED THE WORST ECONOMIC DISASTER OUR COUNTRY HAS SEEN SINCE THE (FIRST) GREAT DEPRESSION - AND WHO CRITICIZE OBAMA FOR A LACKLUSTER RECOVERY WHICH IS ENTIRELY DUE TO THEIR SABOTAGING EVERY EFFORT BY THE DEMS TO REBUILD (STARTING WITH STIMULUS) OUR ECONOMY FROM THE DISASTER [FONT SIZE="3"]THEY CREATED[/FONT].

RECOMMENDED.

[Brigid]

28. I keep telling you guys . . .

That Obama has a future as a stand-up comedian after the White House. Now do you believe me?

[OnionPower1]

37. after the white house

he's bigger than the white house. but i really hope he can stay for a few more terms - just like president francis d. rosenbaum. I think that was name - he was in wheel chair.

[mwooldri]

30. There was this joke going around as a kid...

What do you get for sitting under a cow? A pat on the head. (cow pie, cow pat - same thing)

So I guess if you sit under Mitt Romney you also get a pat on the head too?

Hmmm....

[yurbud]

33. so what does that make any bipartisan pie Obama gives us?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

34. Fabulous!

that will appeal to the farmers!

[OnionPower1]

36. right on

because that's what farmers do - mess with cow pies and what not.

[ailsagirl]

35. A very *CREATIVE* way to say

Nitt is
Full of
it!


I can't wait for Nitt's response!

[wordpix]

38. the same people who want to off Planned Parenthood say poor people shouldn't have children

Just heard this reported by a Xtian friend who does work for the poor and is tired of repuglican "family values." She's voting for O this time around. She said one of her redneck Xtian acquaintances was railing against the poor having children when they couldn't afford them, and then coming to Uncle Sam for welfare.

Why are these same Republicans trying to get rid of PP if they're so concerned about the poor not having children?" And why are they so against abortion and contraception?
