Obama Responds To Romney’s Accusations Of Waging Campaign Based On ‘Hatred’



President Barack Obama sat down for an interview with Entertainment Tonight, alongside First Lady Michelle Obama, to discuss recent developments on the campaign trail. In particular, he took a chance to comment on Mitt Romney‘s recent harsh criticisms.

Responding to Romney’s allegations that Obama is running a “campaign of division and anger and hate,” Obama said:

Well, Nancy, you’ve been on the campaign trail with me for a day and a half, and this is pretty typical of what we do. We’re going around the country, talking about, ‘How do we put people back to work? How do we improve our schools? How do we make sure that we’re producing American energy? How do we lower our debt in a responsible way?’ And I don’t think you or anybody who’s been watching the campaign would say, yes, that in any way we have tried to divide the country. We’ve always tried to bring the country together.


He acknowledged Romney’s “sharp critiques,” noting that such is “the nature of democracy.” The two have sharp disagreements, Obama said, in terms of where Romney “would take the country.”

everything the repukes say about Dems/Obama is true about THEMSELVES and false about Dems/Obama.

I know this has been happening for quite awhile, but sometimes the outrageousness of it strikes me anew.
