Jeremiah Johnson came to mind....

That's the movie I thought about when everyone started criticizing the President last night and today for not coming out more forcefully against Romney...

Remember the crying woman living alone in the cabin whose family was all dead? The wise old timer told Jeremiah Johnson that the Indians didn't bother her because she's "crazy," and they drew the line somewhere on who'd they attack...

I think that's why Obama didn't bother to attack Romney. He recognized someone out of his mind and knew it wouldn't do any good....and he might look "crazy" as well for trying to make Romney be truthful and appear sane...
