For the love of God, Barack... [View all]

...would you please stop saying shit like 'some say' we should have let Detroit go bankrupt! Mitt Fucking Romney said it. So you say that he said it, Barack. Get your message out to the people who aren't political junkies, so they will know the truth. The political junkies know what you mean, so you don't need to convince them of squat. The vast majority of voters out there aren't tuned in 24-7 to the national political discussion on cable news and in the political blogosphere. They're too busy living their busy lives, and may just catch a 30 sound bite or two each day to help them make up their minds. So when you've got the opportunity to form that sound bite...make sure you are plainspoken and crystal clear: Mitt Romney said 'let Detroit go bankrupt'. Not 'some say'. It's important, it's crucial, to make this distinction as clear as the light of day. Same goes for when Obama says 'some in congress' are being obstrucntionist or whatever.... No, Barack. It's Republicans in congress. Republicans. Say it. Over and over again.!!

Enough with the subtle, nudge nudge wink wink approach to calling Romney and other repukes out for their bullshit and outright lies!!

Aargh, I tells ya...
