Mitt Romney slammed Barack Obama tonight on his dishonest and outrageous smears on his record at Bain Capital.
Mitt told ABC:
“He needs to take control of his people… It’s Chicago-style politics at its worst.“
Romney demanded an apology from the president.
The Hill reported:
Mitt Romney demanded an apology from President Obama over allegations that Romney misled the public over his tenure at Bain Capital, declaring that he had “no role whatsoever in managing Bain Capital after 1999.”
“He sure as heck ought to say that he’s sorry for the kinds of attacks that are coming from his team,” Romney told ABC News on Friday. “If I were president of the United States I would put a stop to it and apologize to my campaign for what has been done by his.”
The presumptive GOP nominee echoed his message on other networks, telling Fox News: Obama “really needs to rein in his team and finally take responsibility for what they’re saying.”
…
“When you have other people who are managing the enterprise, who take responsibility for all the investment decisions, who decide who’s going to get hired and fired, who decide compensation decisions, they’re the managers, they’re the people running the business,” Romney told CBS News. :I left the business and went off to run the Olympics, did that full time and after three years, when the Olympics were over, we arranged my departure officially from a retirement standpoint.”
Romney also blasted Obama’s deputy campaign manager, Stephanie Cutter, for insinuating earlier in the week that Romney might have committed a felony by signing the documents.
“Is that really what’s expected for the campaign of a sitting president of the United States to say of the Republican nominee?,” Romney asked on CNN. “Is this the level the campaign is willing to stoop to?”

When you have “Peter Pan Obama” as POTUS…….what do you expect Wendy?
Sasja commented:
Here’s an idea. Quit taking a defensive stance and go on offense. It makes you look weak and whiny.
Stop letting the opposition set the narrative. You didn’t have any problem pounding away at Newt. What’s your problem using the same tactics against that evil in the WH? They’re not going to apologize. Why should they when they’re getting the results they want?
Heaven knows there is plenty of material to use against this regime.

Obama is nothing more than a Chicago street punk..er..Community Organizer
Remember,”The ends justifies the means”
Truth is irrelevant

I thought Mr. Romney was going to take it all lying down ’cause he’s such a nice guy. I think Obama and his people are radical and outrageous too. It’s OK to say it.

Perhaps something along these lines: “I know Barky s grasping at windmills now that his Dreams narrative has been exposed for the lies contained in it plus the cocaine snorting,” but I am not going to resort to non-sequitors about “Oh he was a guy in the neighborhood” when talking about radicals and America haters”. Say what you will about my wife, but at least she never had a no-show job like his. Isn’t that a criminal offense?”

I’m sorry but Mitt, for the first time came off McCainish.Ya Obama and his cohorts are tossing everything they can against the wall.But here is the problem, a lot of people don’t know Mitt from Jack, they are only seeing these ads and they are defining him.
For Mitt to come out as the statesman telling people how this is beneath the office etc..etc..etc.He is coming off as the kid who got bullied and is whining about it, ya he is in the right but nobody likes a whiner.
He needs to come out with brass knuckles and get in Obama’s face.There is an entire 3 years of screw ups and Mitt needs to loosen up and throw some haymakers.Don’t be a dick but don’t hesitate to use words like “lie”, “fraud”,”thug”.
People can easily connect Obama with those words because he is a liar a fraud and a thug.Plus as long as he doesn’t go overboard the people will see a fighter, that’s a good thing.
jb commented:
Hilarious!
Those who a few months ago were slamming Mittens for being soft about virtually everything, are now suddenly all on-board.
And we wonder why the flip our whole system is so screwed up!
Ah, well, I need the entertainment.

“It’s Chicago-style politics at its worst.”
Oh nay nay, Mr. Romney…… Oh nay nay.
Your campaign staff are all still living, breathing functioning human beings and not in full body casts or at the bottom of Lake Michigan wearing cement shoes.
That, dear sir, is Chicago politics……… and it’s coming to a neighborhood Republican campaign office near you Mr. & Mrs. America……… The #HeilObama administration is playing for keeps……… They’re ramping up to do whatever it takes to remain in power – not just for another four years, but in perpetuity.

What’s that ?…… I didn’t hear you clearly.
‘It can’t happen here.’
Really ?……… Come closer, lemme whisper something to ya……… It can and it is.

Wake up and tool up.

This current boss of ours is worthless and dangerous. Where’s the EEOC when you need them.
No Man commented:
It is imperative that the lying sacs of excrement distract you from Obama’s horrid record of mass economic destitution.

Mitt:
President Obama and his campaign have nothing to run on but lies. As far as I can tell President Obamas entire life is nothing but lies and shady dealings with with shady characters who don’t seem to be very proud of this country and the citizens who make it work. This president has been a national nightmare and has been directly responsible for the devastating effects of his inconceivable policies. He must be defeated this November, and I intend being a leader that Americans can be proud of and begin to repair the the absolute disaster this man has wrought on our allies and our economy.
Mr.President, feel free to continue your campaign of lies and fairy tales, that’s all that’s left for you and the American people are slowly but surely coming to that stark realization.
Nelle commented:
He’s talking to MSM audiences here, not to us. Righteous indignation, shaming, and pointing out one’s moral superiority work on them, these are their own tactics. I think he’s pretty shrewd. At least, I hope he is.
gerr commented:
That ABC guy needs to have those moles on his face checked.
Greg commented:
Ya know it time to talk clearly. Obama obtained a selective service number late from a state he was not an inhabitant of. The documentation is pretty clear… Fraudulent acquisition of a selective service number is quite clearly a felony and WTF needs to be held accountable
Robert commented:
“Is this the level the campaign is willing to stoop to?”
Yes, and if Mittens doesn’t want to fight he should just quit right now.
Obama is consistently undermining the Constitution.
He refuses to to execute federal law on immigration.
This is illegal and impeachable.
He has re-defined the meaning of work in respect to welfare,
contrary to that established by Congress.
This is illegal and impeachable.
He has run guns to Mexico, resulting in hundreds of murders.
This is illegal and impeachable.
He assassinates people abroad by drone airstrikes. He golfs all the time. He take forks away from his dinner guests. He wants newlyweds to give their presents to him. He lets islamists take over everything. He stops oil drilling. He is smothering us with regulations.
Mittens better start hitting way harder, and soon like right now, or he’ll end up in the dust.
Robert commented:
Obama: “Romney’s a lying felon.”
Romney: “Obama’s a meanie.”
Obama smacks Romney upside of his head.
Romney gently pushes Obama in the chest.
YourMaster commented:
a historic loss is coming for the dems in nov.
….Romney will be president: he just needs to bring up the 0bamatax on the middle class or just bring up 0bamacare anywhere and everywhere against 0bama…
and that he’ll fight for repeal.
….0bama can’t beat that.
BurmaShave commented:
Obama is eager to go on apology tours to Muslim countries form which terrorist come, and he can make preachy calls for more civil speech, but he cannot apologize for the over-the-top shabby and excessive abuses of his campaign.
Well, Obama will have plenty of time and opportunity to apologize after he is thrown out of office; but in all likelihood his flapping jaw will be even worse than Carter’s
