So this "socialist" attack is nothing new. Obama needs to be more aggressive in attacking Romney over the sercret tapes. The campaign made a misstep not taking advantage of piling on Monday and Tuesday. Biden gave a "no comment" remark, which is not what the campaign needs right now. Romney is helping to define himself as an out of touch dickwad and we need all of our people helping him dig his political grave.
