12. Can you be any more petty?

Dowd writes an op/ed damning Romney, his wife, and his campaign manager, yet because she has the gall to speak the truth(after all, the last time a president won reelection with unemployment over eight percent was 76 years ago), you go off on her.

Disgusting, just disgusting. You Obama purity people are becoming positively Orwellian in your insistence that nobody speaks ill of the President, even if it is the truth.

Face it, she is right, according to political wisdom and historical president, Romney should be mopping the floor with Obama. But we got lucky that it is Romney running, instead of somebody with more political and common sense. Count your blessings instead of complaining that every single word that Dowd writes doesn't reflect divine light upon Obama.
