Obama Calls Romney Speech 'A Cow Pie of Distortion' By Kristen Welker

DES MOINES, IA – President Barack Obama delivered one of his most direct attacks against Mitt Romney here Thursday night, painting Romney as an out-of-touch corporate raider.

At this event, held before an enthusiastic crowd of 2,500 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, Obama reminded the crowd that Romney said “corporations are people,” while stumping in Iowa last August during the Republican primary. The president said there may be value in Romney’s experience in corporate buyouts, “but it’s not in the White House.”

He also noted that the former governor doesn’t talk about his record in Massachusetts.

Speaking directly to Iowans, Obama used local lingo to slam Romney: “Governor Romney came to Des Moines last week and warned of a prairie fire of debt,” he said. “But he left out some facts. His speech was more like a cow pie of distortion.”

Then he quipped, “I don’t know whose record he twisted the most – mine or his.”

Obama warned his supporters that this race would be tougher than 2008 and argued that he represents the future and Romney the past. "We don't need another political fight about ending women's right to choose or getting rid of Planned Parenthood," Mr. Obama said as the crowd erupted into cheers.

"...painting Romney as an out-of-touch corporate raider."

Rather than an out of touch anti-American, anti-Capitalist-Marxist and thief-in-chief for bailouts....which are unaccounted for, for the most part. Obama is trying to get Mit to lose his 'cool' like Romney did Newt.....DON'T BITE, ROMNEY!

He will probably use his famous middle finger pensive salute a lot._-I-_ either on an eyebrow or chin.

I remember Obama’s WTF slogan, which was unintentionally very fitting.
