before the election, Obama should not be pulling any punches. If Romney could run on one slate of policies for 4 months, falsely, and knowingly so, all the while while whining that Obama was being aggressive, well Obama owes him no benefit of the doubt anymore.

Pull no punches and jab, jab, jab like Ali. I know a big concern is avoiding being the 'angry black man' but he's got to finesse and refine his jabs and responses and to not let willard get away with his bullshit & lies.

Things like this have to get edited for time and played non-stop on broadcast media in the swing states. No one goes to YouTube to look at a political ad unless they're already die-hard supporters of the candidate...and that's not who we should be worrying about with a month to go.

No. What if someone there made it public that he said that, but didn't have a videotape of him? Would he be calling that person a liar and playing the victim role for all it's worth? You damb straight he would be.

Because he thought he was safe when he said it. Had it ever crossed his mind that his kind of thinking would be offensive would mean that he was already capable of understanding what life is like for people who do not live in the same socio-economic class as himself; or people who leave their loved ones to go fight overseas for our country; or seniors who have paid into social security by working their whole damb lives. The fact of the matter is: it has never crossed his mind until his tit was in the wringer.

Those people in that video hold the same viewpoint as he does. None of them flinched or conveyed one iota of rejecting what mittiot was saying. They gave mittiot a safe place to express exactly what mittiot thinks and mittiot took advantage of that environment; he was finally was caught in a moment of candor, revealing who he really is.

"A doubleminded man is unstable in all his ways" and mittiot is a walking, breathing example of that one line in the new testament to be true.
