The video was revealed in a major scoop by Mother Jones with help from video researcher James Carter (grandson of Jimmy Carter), who reportedly helped convince the anonymous videographer to release it to the media. It is reminiscent of Obama's remarks at a 2008 fund-raiser that people laid off in the Midwest and Pennsylvania "cling to guns and religion." Not coincidentally, the Obama campaign now requires people at most fund-raisers to surrender their cell phones.

The timing of what can only be described as a Romney super-Jenga moment could hardly have been worse for his campaign. Following a Politico report on bitter infighting amid the campaign consultants, the Republican nominee's staff announced a focus on specific policy prescriptions and new issues, including foreign policy. But the leaked video seems likely to dominate the coming news cycles, and the Obama campaign wasted little time in pressing its advantage.

to Waste ANY Time!

Thanks Cat..I read about James Carter doing a magnificent job of Researching and hunting it down to get it to a wider audience and turning it over to David Corn but I missed the part about "who reportedly helped convince the anonymous videographer to release it to the media."

Hope this bit of well earned Karma on the gop earns him a great job!

Mitt's like.."I thought we had destroyed Carter and Obama right along with him and now you're tellin' me James Carter had a big hand in getting that %$$## "for pete's sake Video Released!!??" Mitt gives his most surprised sociopathic look.

There are so many folks that follow the repubs party line without thinking for themselves. At what time this county become so uneducated and so entrenched in doctrine over logic?

We HAVE to make sure we get out the vote.

I live in VA. It is so important here.

He so easily could have had said, "Subpoena a United States President? Seriously? What are you tripping on, LSD or mushrooms? Who in their right mind would want THAT on his record?" But if he had, there would have been no Watergate. At the time, I said he should have a school named after him, and I think something was!

If they took photos around the room, they could narrow it down. But maybe they don't take photos in that kind of company, being RW multi-millionaires and all. Most probably don't show up on film. Or in mirrors.
