Mitt Romney’s latest flip-flop
I know, it’s getting hard to keep up…
Mitt Romney’s problem with women continues
The Obama campaign has released an ad framing Mitt Romney’s answer (or lack of one) to a question about what he would do to address the issue of equal pay for women in the workplace.
Notice – he never answered the question.
Debate fact check: President Obama did call Benghazi attack “act of terror” in his first statement on the tragedy
At last night’s debate, Mitt Romney tried to rewrite what and when President Obama spoke about the attack in Benghazi. Candy Crowley correctly fact-checked the former Governor.
ROMNEY: I think it’s interesting that the president just said something which is on the day after the attack he went in the Rose Garden and said that this was an act of terror.
OBAMA: That’s what I said.
ROMNEY: You said in the Rose Garden the day after the attack it was an act of terror? It was not a spontaneous demonstration? Is that what you’re saying?
OBAMA: Please proceed governor.
ROMNEY: I want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror.
OBAMA: Get the transcript.
CROWLEY: He did in fact sir, so let me call it an act of terror and —
OBAMA: Can you say that a little louder Candy?
CROWLEY: He did call it an act of terror. It did as well two weeks or so for the whole idea of there being a riot out there about this tape to come out, you’re correct about that.
Here is the actual statement the President made the day after the attack. Check the video at the 4:19 mark.
OBAMA: “No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.”

Seriously. None of this video is made up. THIS is Mitt Romney.
BREAKING: SCOTUS refuses to block Ohio early voting
The US Supreme Court on Tuesday refused a Republican request to get involved in a dispute over early voting in Ohio on the three days before Election Day.
The campaign of President Barack Obama and Ohio Democrats sued the state over changes in Ohio law that took away the three days of voting for most people, but made exceptions for military personnel and Ohioans living overseas. Democrats say nearly 100,000 people voted in the three days before the election in 2008.
A federal appeals court ruling reinstated voting on the weekend before the election and Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court, to no avail.
Personally, I cannot see a good reason to end early voting, as has been done for years in Ohio.
This isn’t about “Voter ID” laws. This was about the tradition of many, many Ohioans going to vote after church on the Sunday before elections.
America should be looking to ENCOURAGE as many legally registered voters to take part in the electoral process – not discourage.
Shame on the Ohio Secretary of State. Bad politics.

Bill Clinton explains Mitt Romney’s tax plan
I like things explained to me in simple terms. I don’t pretend to be an economic genius. I do understand a lot through reading as much as I can, but like most Americans, I admit I understand things best when broken down in commonsense terms.
Bill Clinton breaks down Mitt Romney’s $5 trillion tax cut plan in a new ad in easy to understand terms. You know 1+1 still equals 2 in the real world:
“The effect will be to give people with incomes over $3 million a $250,000 tax cut” and raise taxes on middle income people by an average of $2,000, adding, “We simply cannot afford to give another round of tax cuts to people who got the benefit of the tax cuts and the economic growth of the last decade. It hasn’t worked before, and it won’t work this time.”
Morgan Freeman narrates new Obama campaign ad
Text from the ad: “Every president inherits challenges, few have faced so many. Four years later our enemies have been brought to justice. Our heroes are coming home. Assembly lines are humming again—there are still challenges to meet, children to educate, a middle class to rebuild but the last thing we should do is turn back now.”
