Most cogent thing Obama said

Hats off to Team Obama for running a masterful campaign. Surely the Team Romney campaign will be studied for years for the astonishing arrogance of its mendacity, but what a wealth of fodder for satire and ridicule it provided.

It took a while for Obama to get his groove back after the debt ceiling debacle (mostly not his fault), but once fully in campaign mode, lots of great messaging from Team Obama. For me, all those ads, rallies, avator speeches, pundits, etc etc distilled down to a single message from Obama himself. It happened in the 2nd debate, when POTUS said Romney didn't have a 5 point plan; he had a 1 point plan: an enormous tax cut for the ultra wealthy.

Think about it. Obama points out Mitt's mendacity about his "plans" for the country and Mitt's one true god, the love of money.
