Rep. Todd Akin kills Romney lead in Missouri

As the controversy over Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin’s “legitimate rape” comment continues, Mitt Romney’s lead in Missouri has vanished.

One month ago, Mitt Romney was leading in the state by 6 points.

Today, however, according to Rasmussen Reports most recent poll of Likely Missouri Voters,  President Obama leads with 47% support to Romney’s 46%. Three percent (3%) favor some other candidate in the race, and three percent (3%) more are undecided.

In addition, before the kerfuffle the Senate seat currently held by Democrat Claire McCaskill was seen as “leaning Republican” in polls.  She now holds a 10 point lead and the seat is being seen as “safely Democrat” now.

LYRICS
I was born in Bloomfield in the Hills above
I’m called Mitt ’cause I fit the people like a glove
I’ve been CEO and governor too
Plus I’m fluent in Francais like Pepe Le Pew
Some call me shallow or out of touch
But I don’t think a ten grand bet is that much
In fact I’m like you; unemployed
But unlike you I’ll be fine when your savings are destroyed
I’ll say whatever I need to get through
To raise unlimited funds from a couple of white dudes
I say it’s legal, you say it’s unfair
You call me a bully, I say, “I’ll cut your hair”
‘Cause I’m full of Mitt

He’s so full of…he’s so packed with…
I’m so rich it’s funny; drop the ‘R’, flip the ‘O’ and the ‘M’, and I’m “money”
Full of Mitt…
He’s so full of…he’s so packed with…
I always buy a massage for Rafalca when she wins at dressage

I’ve got cash; I’ve got looks
I’m Top Chef when it comes to cooking books
They say my campaign is hurt by Bain,
But not as much as Bruce Wayne was hurt by Bane
‘Cause politics is a game, a Game of Thrones
But instead of land it’s Congressmen and Senators you own
As for Obama, he’ll do more of the same
Bail out the auto industry and Wall Street for Main
So he killed Bin Laden and got us out of Iraq
And managed to cut taxes for the middle class
And reform healthcare with a personal mandate
Based on a plan I put forth in my home state
But I’m Mitt; I’m gonna survive
I’m one of People’s Most Beautiful People Alive
Remember corporations are people, too, my friends,
So let’s have a Tea Party and take our chorus back again
Full of Mitt…

He’s so full of…he’s so packed with…
I’m no robot; the press says I’m stiff, but Ann says I’m not
He’s so full of…he’s so packed with…
Every time he speaks a word it’s…full of Mitt
He’s so full of…he’s so packed with…
Why won’t he release his taxes?
He’s so full of…he’s so packed with…
Every time he speaks a word it’s…

The facts about how President Obama and Mitt Romney address Medicare differently

Yesterday, Mitt Romney took to a white board to try and “explain” the differences between how HE would address Medicare versus what the Affordable Healthcare Act does.

The main thing I want to point up is: Romney has said repeatedly that he will repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act COMPLETELY. What that means is senior citizens who are right now saving money since the prescription drug “donut hole” was closed by the AHA would see the return of that “donut hole.”

Also, Romney continues to say the President “cut billions from seniors” in Medicare. The truth is the AHA saves money from inefficiencies in monies to providers NOT seniors.

It just goes on and on. Watch the video for the facts.

Romney campaign continues lies on Medicare

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan plan to end Medicare as we know it. Now, as voters react, Romney responds by lying about the President’s record on Medicare.

The Obama campaign hits back against the lies that Romney is trying to spread saying the Affordable Healthcare Act “cuts $700 billion from the Medicare Trust Fund,” which isn’t true.

The $700 billion isn’t cut from seniors, it’s cut from inefficiencies and payments to hospitals. According to the Congressional Budget Office, Obama’s plan cuts a reduction in the expected rate of growth, not cutting budgets to the elderly. Benefits will be improved.  Money is NOT being taken from seniors benefits.

Check out Soledad O’Brien calling out Romney surrogate John Sununu for repeating the same GOP talking points over and over, as if by repetition he could make his assertions true.
