22. Why not.........

Why not let Rmoney just open his mouth? When he does, the lies fall out. I realize that people will believe what is said, but once he begins the lies, all Obama has to do is the infamous Reagan line "There you go again" when responding to Mittens about what he was just saying. Call the liar a liar and let him seethe over it. Rmoney know what he is doing, and will keep doing it because it works. Obama has to pull a "Rick Perry" moment where he gets Rmoney riled up enough to come out of his space into Obama's space like he did during one of the debates. He lost his cool and was a blithering idiot after that.
