Refusing to Apologize, Obama Renews Attacks on Romney’s Business Record

[MindMover]

GLEN ALLEN, Va. — President Obama refused to apologize to Mitt Romney on Saturday, barnstorming through this swing state as his aides continued their attacks by releasing a new television ad that mockingly shows Mr. Romney singing “America the Beautiful.”

Mr. Obama, speaking to a drenched crowd during a downpour in this Richmond suburb, accused Mr. Romney of investing in “companies that have been called pioneers in outsourcing.” He ignored the demands for an apology about the campaign’s tone that Mr. Romney had called for in interviews on Friday.

“My opponent and his allies in Congress, they believe in top-down economics,” Mr. Obama said. “If you cut through all the stuff, what they are really saying is tax cuts for the wealthy, roll back regulations. That is essentially their plan.”

1. Good

Obama should continue to be ruthless against Romney.

That's how he will win.

2. I'm thrilled to see Pres. Obama standing his ground...

The top-down bullshit that got us here is exactly what Rmoney is all about.

3. This is the Populist Moment

The American people, even a lot of people in the Tea Party, are disgusted with crony capitalism and they've had enough of billionaires treating the rest of us as though our lives don't matter. If Barack Obama can cast off the burden of his allegiance to Wall Street (I'm looking at you, Tim Geithner), then he can create a majority that will allow him to do truly remarkable things.

Lose the jacket and roll up your sleeves, Mr. President. You have been given the opportunity to be one for the ages.

Please. I'm begging you. Take it.
