Obama Aide: Des Moines Register Endorsement Not Based in Reality
Arutz Sheva ^ | 29/10/12 | Rachel Hirshfeld

Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter dismissed the Des Moines Register endorsement of Mitt Romney, saying it was not “based at all in reality.”

“They endorsed Mitt Romney in the primary, so this was not much of a surprise,” said Cutter on ABC’s “This Week”, referring to the influential swing-state paper’s backing of the GOP candidate.

“It was a little surprising to read that editorial, because it didn't seem to be based at all in reality, not just in the president's record, but in Mitt Romney's record,” Cutter added. “It says that he'd reach across the aisle, which he'd do the exact opposite. It's the exact opposite of what he did in Massachusetts.”

Romney on late Saturday received the endorsement of the Des Moines Register, Iowa’s largest newspaper.

The paper, which had backed Obama in 2008, had not endorsed a Republican nominee in 40 years. The endorsement will likely bolster Romney’s efforts to win Iowa’s six electoral votes.

Cutter claimed the Register was wrong in its description of Romney as a centrist who will be more likely than Obama to forge bipartisan compromises on the economy and federal deficits.

I left out the best part:

“There is momentum. There is movement out there with people wanting a second term of an Obama presidency. We feel good about where we are,” she said.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

November 6. Reality.

One huge blessing if Obama is fired is that his groupies will be gone from the national scene. Who will miss Axleface, Poof, and the Cutter? This coven gives political hacks a bad name.

Having endorsed only one other Republican since 1960, many assumed the paper would continue the pattern and endorse President Obama. Instead, it offered a glowing review of Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

Look for a Cutter/Holder (Tamara) tag team on Hannity’s worthless gab-fests.

Endorsement by the Chicago Tribune based on “malarkey” and “stuff”.

Stephanie would make a good used car salesman. She may be doing this, or waitressing, on November 7th.

What ever happened to good ole Baghdad Bob anyway?

From Wikipedia; His fame quickly evaporated as the war continued into the insurgency phase; from the middle of 2003 onward, he faded from the public spotlight, and was no longer a figure in the war.

Although questioned by American authorities, al-Sahhaf was released, and there has been no suggestion of charging or detaining him for his role in the Saddam Hussein government. He is now living in the United Arab Emirates with his family.

When asked where he had got his information he replied, "authentic sources—many authentic sources". He pointed out that he "was a professional, doing his job"

So I would assume Stephanie is just a "professional, doing her job."

She is something else more like Jesse's Jackson's old flame on Fox News

Don’t be so down on Stephanie. She might try to sell time shares in Orlando resorts—on commission, too.

You know, now that I think about it, Stephanie would make a good real estate agent in Hillary Clinton’s new company: Whitewater Prime Real Estate Agency.

I'm sure they were "authentic." But authentic≠reliable.
