Obama Spokeswoman: Romney Campaign ‘Off The Deep End’

Obama Spokeswoman: Romney Campaign ‘Off The Deep End’

Obama campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith told reporters the Romney campaign is off-balance and “desperate” after a top Romney surrogate, John Sununu, said in a campaign press call that “I wish this president would learn how to be an American.”

“The Romney campaign has officially gone off the deep end,” Smith said in a statement. “The question is what else they’ll pull to avoid answering serious questions about Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital and investments in foreign tax havens and offshore accounts. This meltdown and over-the-top rhetoric won’t make things better- it only calls attention to how desperate they are to change the conversation.”

Ron Paul Calls On Romney To Release More Tax Returns

Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) tells Politico that he thinks Mitt Romney should release more of his tax returns:

“Politically, I think that would help him,” said the former presidential candidate. “In the scheme of things politically, you know, it looks like releasing tax returns is what the people want.”

Paul becomes the latest high-profile Republican to question Romney’s unreleased tax returns, joining the likes of GOP caucus chair Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) and Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley.

I think that one of the things that this IN YOUR FACE campaigning that the Obama Campaign has been doing is going to bring a lot more of the progressives back to the fold.. you know, every election here on DU we start getting some folks complaining that our Candidate doesn't have any spine, or the "spineless democrats" thing. I think that this i energizing everyone on the left, I know it is for everyone I know!
