This is fun and everything, people, but now is not the time to relax!

Already we hear the ridiculous cries of "swiftboating" coming from the corporate media defenders of Mittens. His own party won't defend him, and the corporate media was caught off guard for a few days.

But....they will surround and protect him. The corporate media will fight back for their guy, and they will change the narrative if we let them.

Will we let them?

If not, what will we do about it?

But we need to call out the corporate media before they can reshape the entire issue.

I agree though that it's going to be interesting to see what the corporate media and the big bucks people will do. They have a lot of power and they aren't going to waste it. Unfortunately they've also got Mitt Romney, and he's such a mackerel that they only have the choice of going after the president in a bad way.

We have to keep the message going forward, hard.
