1. Unfortunately, expanding US trade deals is one of Obama's favorite sports

And it's one of the things that is retarding the recovery.

It's just sophistry to make a statement like this. I don't blame Romney for saying it, but why doesn't anybody in the liberal media challenge him?

2. Tens of thousands of American workers wish Romney was right

Alas, he is lying again.

3. At one time that would have been a good thing for a Dem to do.

My how things have changed.


US workers fucked by both parties now. Yippee!

4. Well if Mittens criticized this, then that means Mittens would

be for many more trade deals.

5. Saying it didn't happen isn't the same thing as criticizing it..

6. The president should let this one slide

I wouldn't try touting free-trade deals in an election year with massive unemployment. If Mitt wants to claim it, it can only make him look good by comparison. Then, later, Obama can attack Mitt as wanting to outsource jobs and watch Mitt explode as he realizes the only way to disprove the claim is by contradicting himself and, thus, showing his consistent dishonesty.

The above isn't moral, but it would probably be fairly effective and would definitely be funny.

7. The Mitt talking Sh**, what else is new.
