"They definitely didn't fire me because I quit working two months before they fired me."

"He quit working, so we fired him."

I like it.

Obama in town!

Mitt Romney demanded an apology from President Obama on Friday for making what he called “reckless” and “absurd” allegations in an escalating battle over whether Mr. Romney’s business record included outsourcing American jobs.

LOL

Yea, nobody should apologize for saying Obama isn't an American citizen and hates America and supports Al Qaeda, but Obama should most definitely apologize for telling the truth.

That'd be pretty badass if any politician did that toward any other one. Put one's money where their mouth is, even if it is all for "ratings".

It would also be awesome to see the inevitable Phoenix Wright parody that would surface.

I still haven't seen Romney respond to those calls demanding documentation that he's not actually a unicorn

Asking to see tax returns is hardly ridiculous. At one point during the reupub debates mittens said that he paid the tax that was required of him (that his company lobbied for) and that no one would want to vote for someone that paid more taxes than they had too. Why the Obama campaign has not jumped all over that quote by now is beyond me. I would think that a lot of people would like to vote for someone that put the country ahead of their own financial gain.

definitely saw a house republican on fox today bitching about the senate not doing anything productive and only engaging in "show votes" in reference to passing a bill that extends all the tax cuts but the top

Surprisingly, despite the fact that they've been thoroughly crushing Romney with TV ads, the polls are still completely deadlocked. So I think Obama is in for some pain once Romney's SuperPACs start getting into the fight.

it pleases me to think of him as a political theorist conducting an extensive sociological experiment

You're thinking of Glenn Beck.

You're giving him too much credit. Rush is just an entertainer, and as such only cares about two things -- ratings and advertisers. Everything else is window dressing.

A problem is that many people have already made up their minds, and firmly believe that one side is lying while the other is telling the truth.
