Someone tell me rMoney didn't LITERALLY ask for a "truce" during a presidential campaign?!

I'm looking at Too Big To Fail Again...I'm already a little cynical....I already think Obama made a deal with the banks and they'd keep him in office or some shit like that...maybe they didn't think he'd swing the country to the left socially so much...but they've not touched too much of the big asshole MIC or financial sector.

No other way to keep Obama in office than to run the biggest asshole candidate in US history that repeatedly lets Americans know we're the "you people".

DRESSAGE!?!!

REALLY!?!?!

...rMoneys internals must be shit...

Is this a rumor?

Regards

Mitt basically waved the white flag and asked for mercy.

Wall Street money is still going 7-1 for Romney so you can bet they want Obama out plenty.

He didn't say the word "truce" but he asked that things like business, taxes and family be off limits so they can talk only about the issues (as he sees them). I am paraphrasing. You will need to watch the interview, or at least that clip, to really see what happened.

And Obama didn't go for that either - McCain just embarrassed himself.

Obama's right to ignore pleas for truces, mercy or civility and continue to drink Rmoney's milkshake!

I'm still wondering how his team thought this wasn't going to make him even weaker, but hey, that's just me.
