Obama Campaign Debuts "Rocky IV" Movie Poster

Obama Campaign Debuts "Rocky IV" Movie Poster

The president charged that Mitt Romney is stuck in a “Cold War mind warp.”

Michael Hastings



The Obama campaign has stepped up its mockery of Mitt Romney's foreign policy views, continuing a theme rolled out at the Democratic National Convention to portray the Republican candidate, who has limited foreign policy experience, as out of his depth in international affairs.

The latest installment: a fake movie poster that uses the line Senator John Kerry debuted in his speech two days ago at the convention, where he compared Mitt Romney's national security ideas to those of Sarah Palin.

"Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from Alaska," Kerry said on Thursday. "Mitt Romney talks like he's only seen Russia by watching Rocky IV."

President Obama also piled on in his DNC speech: "After all, you don’t call Russia our number-one enemy — not al Qaeda, Russia — unless you’re still stuck in a Cold War mind warp."

Since Mitt threw Ryan under a bus (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021303598) because he voted in support of defense cuts, it's not too late to tap Palin.

And, it's our responsibility to point it out!

From your link, ProSense..

"Those were the latest stumbles Chicago has seized upon. Earlier in the year, a Romney advisor also incorrectly referred to Russians as "Soviets," a problematic term as the Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1991."

since the GOPpers are so concerned. The Lyin'Ryan is still going on, but since the bogeyman OBL is gone all the GOP have is their suppose attack on their GAWD.

Now Iran. Seems like our children die and the 1-2% can buy America.

Mitt was set up. After the media shills labeled Ryan a VSP, Mitt thought he would choose him and then the two of them would launch an offensive against the Obama administration.

Sucker!

Pinocchio Ryan is less popular than Palin. His lies have made him look silly. His plan has been deemed toilet paper, and now even Mitt has thrown him under a bus (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021303598).

Now that Ryan has been rendered ineffective, Democrats are casting Mitt as the male Sarah. Ouch!

A twofer that highlights every silly utterance Mitt makes and also ensures that no one will take him seriously for picking Pinocchio Ryan for his VP.
