GLOVES OFF… Romney Changes Tune – Obama Not a Nice Guy
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, July 18, 2012, 12:06 PM
Finally, they get it.
The Romney Campaign finally came to the realization this week that Barack Obama is not a nice person. The first clue was when they called him a felon.
Buzzfeed reported:
Standing before hundreds of roaring partisans in this sweltering Pittsburgh suburb Tuesday, Mitt Romney delivered a 30-minute speech that sounded, at times, like a greatest hits compilation of his favorite Obama-knocking stump speech lines. The president was, Romney said, “out of ideas,” and “looking for someone to blame,” and a “crony capitalist.”
One thing he was not: “A nice guy.”
In speeches from Des Moines to Dallas, Romney has always been careful to hedge his tough digs at Obama with a civil nod toward the president’s moral character: “He’s a nice guy,” the Republican has often said. “He just has no idea how the private economy works.” But Tuesday’s speech included no such hedge — and one campaign adviser said there’s a reason for that.
“[Romney] has said Obama’s a nice fellow, he’s just in over his head,” the adviser said. “But I think the governor himself believes this latest round of attacks that have impugned his integrity and accused him of being a felon go so far beyond that pale that he’s really disappointed. He believes it’s time to vet the president. He really hasn’t been vetted; McCain didn’t do it.”
Indeed, facing what the candidate and his aides believe to be a series of surprisingly ruthless, unfounded, and unfair attacks from the Obama campaign on Romney’s finances and business record, the Republican’s campaign is now prepared to go eye for an eye in an intense, no-holds-barred act of political reprisal, said two Romney advisers who spoke on condition of anonymity. In the next chapter of Boston’s pushback — which began last week when they began labeling Obama a “liar” — very little will be off-limits, from the president’s youthful drug habit, to his ties to disgraced Chicago politicians.
“I mean, this is a guy who admitted to cocaine use, had a sweetheart deal with his house in Chicago, and was associated and worked with Rod Blagojevich to get Valerie Jarrett appointed to the Senate,” the adviser said. “The bottom line is there’ll be counterattacks.”
Michelle Malkin is celebrating.

Romney should tell obama to start a new business when he is out of office in january. tell him to start his own factory building solar panels wind mills electric cars .do it with his own money no subsidies to spend and risk his own capital along with his buddies and tell him to do it with union labor and full benefits

Why I’m not a politician…
If I were Romney…I’d go to the steps of the Capital,and challenge Obama /Holder to come arrest me
If they believe he is a felon,It’s their duty to arrest him..paint them into a corner
If they arrest..The American people see for themselves..Opposing Obama is a criminal offence
If they don’t arrest…the people know Obama is a liar..paint them into the corner.
Prove their nothing but all talk

Anybody who shows weakness to the foaming-at-the-mouth d-cRAT socialists gets devoured by them and their stooges and puppets in the socialist media. We saw that in the pathetic campaign of RINO TRAITOR AMNESTY-JOHN mccain (who wanted his pal OBOZO to win as much as OBOZO did.)
Romney must take the gloves off and call out the lying, despicable, anti-American, anti-Semitic, incompetent, destructive, hate-filled, irresponsible, chicago-thug-like actions and words of OBOZO. When OBOZO brings a knife to the fight, Romney must bring a gun; when he brings a gun, bring an AK-47 – do whatever it takes to win and always be prepared for the nuclear option*, if needed, against the socialist extremists. America, it’s values, its freedoms and its exceptionalism are all at stake in this election. Take no prisoners – fight to bitter end and to the last man standing.
*Nuclear Option (aka, the TRUTH about OBOZO) = OBOZO’s 20+year mentoring by vile, racist, anti-American, anti-Semitic piece of excrement jeremiah “God Damn America” wright, OBOZO’s training by American terrorist bill ayers, OBOZO’s advanced training in racist extremism by beneath excrement Derrick Bell, OBOZO’s training in communism by lunatic-leftist Frank Marshall Davis, OBOZO’s teaching of Alinsky’s radical extremism as a community organizer, OBOZO’s membership in the radical socialist New Party, OBOZO’s dirty dealings with convicted felon Tony Rezko, The Choom Gang and OBOZO’s drug addiction, details of OBOZO’s hate-fill Black Liberation Theology, the mysterious Social Security number used by OBOZO, and on, and on, and on…

Thank God the Romney team finally woke up. I guess the vicious attacks finally got through.
Romney is so squeaky clean, I think it took a lot to make him realize that his opponent is as dirty as it comes. Chicago politics and honesty, ethics or morals have nothing to do with each other.

I wonder how long that will last. Pubbies have to play nice, you know.

It’s more like opening a Pandora’s Box.
*sigh*
Practical Jane commented:
The RNC called the other day looking for cash. I told them I would be glad to contribute as soon as Romney grew a pair and started calling Obama out. The caller said they’re getting that same message from a lot of potential donors. Hopefully this is just the beginning.
HIT HARD and DON’T BACK DOWN!

Heck, yeah. There are no ambiguities about what’s at stake in this election…and we need to kick oBama out. We knew it was going to be a fight and now we’ve got a fighter.
Let’s roll, Mitt! Time to win the war.

Romney is the one. We are going to win this! The president is the overgrown lawn, the American voters are the mower…. lawn meet mower!
Best video I’ve seen on 0bama and his lack of leadership comes from RightChange. I don’t know how I missed this video or if I possibly forgot about it because of the onslaught of BS from the regime. It’s worth checking out again if you have seen it. Hat tip to bloghopenchangery.com

Welcome home Mitt…It does seem like some kind of split has happened. Mitt has decided he really does want to be President and go down in history as a great man who saved this country … rather than fall on the sword purposefully ..letting the country and the world go to HELL for the sole minded obsession of saving the failed fake fantacy world of the ” first black president ” cult script writers . ..and now McCain is acting up in crankiness….maybe Jeb Bush , Charlie Crist, and Arlan Specter will start campaigning openly for Obama.

Mittens takes off the gloves.

I LOVED this post. Actually, it is very good campaign advice. Romney could warm to this and sell it.
owl commented:
Also loved Malkin’s shout out. Could not resist listening and hoping GOP/Romney understands this is how we really feel.
bigkahuna commented:
CommieJuice….That video reminds me of how even MSBSNBC Loons even saw how pathetic Obama is, was and will be.
This should be in a new Mitt ad….. and to think Christingles up his leg just called him Perfect the other day….
I would love to see Chrissy, Olberdork, Peanuthead Carville, John Stewart, Steven Cobert all used against this Clusterf*ck of a President.
