GOP working overtime to swiftboat Obama

And a scheduled release on September 11 is just a coincidence.

Check this out:

>>Navy SEAL Osama bin Laden book: Too 'top secret' to be published?

A member of the U.S. Navy SEAL team that killed Osama bin Laden has written a firsthand account of the operation, triggering more questions about the possible public release of classified information involving the historic assault of the terror leader's compound in Pakistan.

U.S. military officials say they do not believe the book has been read or cleared by the Defense Department, which reviews publications by military members to make sure that no classified material is revealed.

The book, titled "No Easy Day" and scheduled to be released Sept. 11, comes amid a heated debate over whether members of the military — both active duty and retired — should engage in political battles.<<

If they do this, Obama's team ought to pull out all the stops on Willard and his offshore bank account shenanigans.

The CIA did with the book Valerie Plame wanted to publish. There were a couple of court hearings, I believe. I don't know what ever happened with that.

Let's focus on the downticket - RMoney and Rayn are forever tarnished thanks to the Akin platform.

Akin is a downticketer, and he's alraedy out thanks to the Raz polls.

We need to tether ALL Republicans with Akin, R&R.....

I've been posting PBO's tax calculator and ask them to show me a Mitt Romney calculator.

Haven't found one from Rmoney, but found two that works and explains concisely from Obama's campaign as well as the DNC.
