The republicans are tne "walking dead" you have to kill the brain in order to stop them and this is just the first step. Obama and his staff have played rope a dope for 4 years and now they ate counter punching. I dont think Romney has a answer and I think the debates will expose him. Obama plays chess the telpublicans play checkers.
