Team Obama probably thought the campaign was going to be the normal, where Democrats are allowed to do and say anything, and the Republican challenger had to sit there and take it. Yet, Team Romney has shown themselves to be highly agile this campaign season, responding with videos and such virtually before Obama has even gotten done with his bloviating.
Today, Obama was supposed to be giving a “reboot” speech which included absolutely nothing but his standard litany of complaints, for which Romney gave a “prebuttal” which included
Romney said the president was “delivering a speech on the economy … because he hasn’t delivered a recovery for the economy.”
He also mentioned that “talk is cheap” and predicted that Obama would make a lot of his standard excuses. Obama did. here’s where it gets funny, via Buzzfeed
Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s guerrilla tactics continued Thursday, as the campaign bus circled the venue where President Barack Obama will be speaking this afternoon.
As it passed the assembled throngs of supporters awaiting entry to the event at Cuyahoga Community College, the bus honked its horn dozens of times, before circling around to do it again. Obama supporters jeered and booed each time the bus passed the line outside of the security screening area.
Liberals weren’t happy with this, because they are the only ones who are allowed to be aggressive. No More Mister Nice Guy brings the irony, as it is whining about Team Romney not being nice. Excitable Josh Marshall says this is all about “anger management.” Excitable Doug Mataconis is whining about this being “stupid campaign tricks.” Oops. Doug is supposed to be on the GOP side. That’s the problem, many erstwhile Republicans expect the GOP candidate to just sit there and take it, and never dish it out.
