Romney aide slams Obama’s ‘unbelievable’ distortions

One of Mitt Romney’s top strategists today accused President Obama and his political staff of waging a reelection campaign that has descended from petty distortions to “unbelievable exaggerations that diminish the office of the president and insult the American people.”

Adviser Eric Fehrnstrom added: “I don’t think a world champion limbo dancer could get any lower than the Obama campaign right now.”

The main reason that Mitt hasn't announced his choice for VP yet is that it's been difficult for him to find anyone willing to take the job. No losing republican VP candidate in the last 50 years has had any political career left after the race. There's also the problem with income tax returns. Does the VP nominee also refuse to release any more than one or two years' of returns? Does he release the past 12 years, like George Romney did, making Willard look foolish? Being chosen by Willard Mitt Romney as VP in 2012 could very well be the worst thing that could happen to any politician.

Mr. Fernstrom has complete possession of the low road. We know he was tweeting smears of Allen Khazei and only fessed up when caught. It is no secret that people's health plans and pensions were a Bain target in taking over "stressed companies." By the way he is involved in the same dirty work for Scott Brown. Frankly I hope he keeps up his faux dismay. It will surely backfire.

The Obama-Axelrod-Jarrett crew is desperate. They would claim that Mitt Romney is Lucifer himself if they thought such an outrageous claim would keep them in the White House. Unfortunately for them, most Americans are not naive enough to buy what they are peddling in their vicious attack ads on Mitt Romney. I look forward to Romney's inaugural address in early 2013.
