Obama: I debated an Imposter!

[courseofhistory]

Says Romney can dance around positions all he wants.

At a Denver rally Thursday morning President Obama reflected on his opponent's performance in last night's debate. "When I got on to the stage, I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney. The man on stage last night does not want to be held accountable for the real Mitt Romney's decisions...for the last year," Obama said. "So Governor Romney may dance around his positions, but if you want to be president, you owe the American people the truth...So here's the truth: Governor Romney cannot pay for his $5 trillion tax plan" without inflating the deficit or harming the middle class. He also mocked Romney for his Sesame Street reference. "Thank goodness somebody is finally getting tough on Big Bird," Obama joked.

President Obama mocked Mitt Romney for mentioning that he would cut funding to PBS as part of his deficit-reduction plan in Wednesday night's debate during a rally in Denver, Colorado Thursday morning.

"Thank goodness somebody is finally getting tough on Big Bird," Obama said. "It's about time. We didn't know that Big Bird was driving the federal deficit."

Someone in the crowd mentioned Elmo, to which Obama responded, "Elmo too?"

1. Elmo? Say it ain't so.

What is it with the GOP and children's TV characters?

First it was the Teletubbies.

Now its Big Bird and Elmo.

Who's next? Arthur? Norm Abram?

Shit--the GOP clearly hates America.

2. What some people are asking:

Why didn't Obama use this line against Romney last night?

4. I think Obama was

stunned at the blatant lies but he should have expected it. Next debate he should confront Willard: "You said this on such and such a date, then you said this a week later and another think some time after that." Have you given your final answer!?
