Mittens dispatching Jindal & Pawlenty to refute Obama on his bus tour

(the Jindal-Pawlenty tour aka the bore tour):

For the Ohio leg of the trip, Romney has dispatched Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty to visit the regions on Obama's itinerary ahead of the president's arrival.

They will "emphasize the gap between what President Obama said he would accomplish and his lack of results on jobs, health care and the debt," a Romney spokesman told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Obama has released new advertising questioning Romney's commitment to keeping jobs in America while pointing to his decision to rescue U.S. automakers, a major employer in Ohio.

Obama will deliver his first address Thursday in Maumee, Ohio, before traveling to Sandusky and Parma. The bus tour starts a new phase of Obama's re-election campaign as he takes a more retail-oriented approach before the September convention in Charlotte, N.C. It follows a six-state bus trip by Romney through the Midwest last month that included stops in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Curly, Larry and Moe must be spinning in their graves by being supplanted by the 2012 version of the Three Stooges.

I can think of late-night TV infomercials that provide more riveting entertainment than that crew. I can't imagine what would happen if they were all in a room together, giving one soporific speech after the other. Just contemplating such an oxygen-sucking event makes me want to take a nap.

and what have those ankle-biting teabagger Republicans in Congress done to help President Obama create more jobs for the American public, improve American's health care, and cut the national debt since 2009?
