President Barack Obama addresses a campaign rally in Dubuque, Iowa.
The theme of today’s U.S. presidential coverage is “Ugly.”
As in ugly comments on both sides. Mitt Romney, perhaps having got all worked up by the attention he’s been getting since picking Paul Ryan as his running mate, unleashed some notably stupid accusations on Wednesday.
“The president’s campaign is all about division and attack and hatred,” he said, adding that Barack Obama is “running just to hang onto power, and I think he would do anything in his power” to keep his job. The White House termed the remarks as “unhinged”, which seems pretty accurate. But not before good old Vice President Joe Biden chimed in, telling a mainly black audience in Virgina that the Romney/Ryan team is “going to put y’all back in chains.” Fortunately he didn’t have any fried chicken to wave around when he said it.
The Democrats are accusing Republicans of “swift-boating” them — a reference to a dirty tricks campaign unleashed on Democrat candidate John Kerry in 2004 — after Reuters reported a group of former U.S. intelligence and Special Forces operatives would run ads attacking the president for taking credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Whittle: That Looks Bad
Read the links and then watch Bill Whittle in the video. Kelly notes the ugliness of the current US electoral campaign and it is but in my view Obama is getting very desperate. Actually not Obama (I suspect he doesn’t give a damn). Rather his administration who are collectively having a heart attack.
Personally, I think he would rather retire, divorce his wife (who never shuts up) and go and play golf. In my view he wouldn’t be far wrong. There’s more to life than listening day in and day out to literally hordes of screaming “greenies”, “wee wify” being one of the loudest.
Four more years of that? In his place I suspect the thought becomes more enticing by the minute.
Goodnight.
You’re right about the wife never knowing when to shut up. This video rips the masks off of both of them. It exposes the ugly truth of exactly what these two are made up of. Lip readers nailed her comments down. Let’s not forget that is the CIC of the U.S. Military nodding in agreement with a distainful smirk on his face. Beneath contempt, both of them.

I love this….I wish I could take credit for it.
“You voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you weren’t a racist.
Now vote against him in 2012 to prove you’ve not an idiot.”
Might I point out that it is not the Romneyites that are getting ugly, but it is instead the Obama followers, including HIS media. They work so hard to remain oblivious to his obvious and accepted ideology.
I guess it is just too difficult to say, ‘Yes, I/we were wrong four years ago when we failed to do our journalistic duties.’ ‘We must do better!’
They continue to promote the empty suit to the peril of the people and I do not understand why.
