BTW... Obama ‘revenge’ comment referred to Romney ‘scare tactics’ in Ohio Campaign

The VERY DESPERATE Lying Liars at the Romney Campaign once again prove that they are nothing more than word twisting Lying Sacks of Poo and will thankfully be silenced come next Wednesday.

I can see that Ohio Voters are starting to deeply dislike Romney because of his China Lies.... Romney's Bullshit Revenge line will backfire just as badly as his China Lie!!

MENTOR, Ohio—A campaign aide moved to explain President Barack Obama's comment in which he referred to voting as "the best revenge," saying that Obama was referring in part to a television ad Mitt Romney's campaign released that suggested Chrysler was planning to ship manufacturing jobs out of Ohio to China.

Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki told pool reporters Saturday that the comment was made in the context of what she called Romney's "scare tactics" in the final days of the campaign.

The Romney ad was "frightening workers in Ohio into thinking, falsely, that they're not going to have a job," Psaki said when asked about Obama's "revenge" comment. "And the message he was sending is if you don't like the policies, if you don't like the plan that Gov.

Romney is putting forward, if you think that's a bad deal for the middle class, then you can go to the voting booth and cast your ballot."
"It's nothing more complicated than that," Psaki added.

Obama made the comment on Friday during a rally when supporters in the audience booed at a mention of his opponent.
"Don't boo, vote," Obama said. "Voting's the best revenge."

The voters could have revenge against Romney. Unlike Romney where he himself is talking about having revenge against Chris Christie if elected.

The one who is most offensive is quickest to be offended. Yeah, revenge, Mittens! Revenge for the congress that blocked bills that would have helped people, and for the lies you've told to cause people to fear loss of their jobs! Now, finish your lying tour and then go home and oversee the building oh your car elevator.

I have never, ever, witnessed a more dishonest, sleazy, craven, childish, and stupid, campaign in my life. I mean that with all sincerity. There is something very very bad about Romney, and they have to lie and whine to hide it.

I never thought I'd see a worse candidate or person than Bush AND Cheney, but Romney takes it.

Fuck.. he's worse than Cheney... what does that say about him??
