IF AN OBAMA SURROGATE HAD GONE TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY

and blasted a previous president they would yell, "TREASON!" If that same surrogate had gone to a foreign country and spoke ill of American politics period, they would yell, "TREASON!" Why does this not hold true for Romney surrogates?

Knowing our continued growth depends on the stability of the Euro, he's gone on a trip to Germany to pollute their economy to further damage ours. That's TREASON!!!!!
