Mitt Romney is either newly emboldened by Paul Ryan, his vice presidential running mate, or the presumptive GOP presidential nominee has finally grown a backbone. He’s called out President Barack Obama for what Romney called divisive rhetoric that’s become the hallmark of the Obama presidency and the antithesis of his 2008 campaign themes of unity, hope and change.
“He demonizes some. He panders to others. His campaign strategy is to smash America apart and then cobble together 51 percent of the pieces. If an American president wins that way, we all lose,” Romney said Tuesday in the swing state of Ohio.
More poignantly, the former Massachusetts governor spoke directly to Obama, “Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago, and let us get about rebuilding and reuniting America.”
It is about time Romney fired back.

It’s about time Romney did SOMETHING. His campaign was starting to remind me of the McCain dog and pony show of 2008, and I was really losing any hope for the “REAL” change we desperately need.
To see the “real” Obama, I recommend seeing the movie 2016. The movie finally vets the president’s political motives based on his upbringing and past associations. (with emphasis on his drunkard anti-colonial father, communist mentor Frank Marshal, and association
with weather underground terrorist Bill Ayers. I just wish that Michelle Obama’s head had also been opened up for insight in what it is that she feels America “owes her”. (other than16 vacations in 3 1/2 years and a personal staff of 22) For the first time in my life, I feel that my tax dollars are being flushed down the toilet by two ungrateful ingrates. We (America) can’t afford another four years of the Obama’s.

How refreshing! Keep the heat on, Mitt!
I second Don’s recommendation for all to go see “2016.” It’s an excellent documentary, and people of all political persuasions need to see it. Even if you’ve read “The Roots of Obama’s Rage,” on which much of the film is based, you’ll gain even more insight into Obama and what’s in store for us if he’s re-elected.
Mitt needs to keep the pressure on, as Obama has a super-thin skin and it is so easy to get under it and push him into self-destruction.
With knowledgable, thoughtful criticism from both Romney and Ryan, the President will show his true colors, and they won’t be pretty.
If this is the best rhetoric that Romney can provide to describe the Obama administration, then he is in real trouble to win this election.

Like the rest of us, I think Mitt is sick of the filth and lies!
We can ojnly hope that Mr. Romney will continue to call this usurper out and beat him to the ground. I have the notion during the debates the POTUS is going to get cornered and play the POTUS card and I hope Mr.Romney informs him that he respects the position of the Presidency but is debating an opponent for the position and with respect, please debate fairly without titles.
