In an interview with KXNO sports radio today, President Obama was asked to say something nice about Mitt Romney, Politico reports. Here's his response:
"He seems to have a great family. And I really think he had a great health care plan when he was in Massachusetts," Obama said. "Seems to be working really well One of the reasons why we set up the same kind of plan nationally and we're implementing it right now."

Cue the Romney campaign demanding the President apologize for linking Mitt to MA health care.

(802 posts)How many times Mitt will stutter and "uh..." as he confabulates responses in each debate with Barack.

(17,266 posts)He says 'Well....' and takes a pause. He's pretty good at buying time to make shit up.
I'm more interested in watching him make up stupid shit.
Welcome to DU. We usually refer to the President as 'Obama'.

(9,298 posts)has been a mainstay of the Obama administration even as it has opened him up countless times to criticism and bald faced lies from the right. And at times, disappointment from the left.
But for me, the most obvious difference between Obama and Rmoney boils down to one word: character. Obama has it and Rmoney does not.

(16,854 posts)I remember Tony Blair in the well debating opponents in Parliament off the cuff.
Then turn the channel to see Bush drooling on his lap.
The difference was depressing.
This is a good thing, for sure. Oromney Care 2012!
