Plouffe: We expected aggressive Mitt, not 'fundamentally dishonest' Mitt

Top aide David Plouffe suggested on Thursday that Team Obama was caught off guard by the "remarkable" level of "dishonesty" displayed by Mitt Romney during the debate.

~~SNIP~~

"Going forward, one of the things we're going to have to address is that dishonesty," Plouffe said. "It's hard to remember a time in American politics where you had someone who's a major nominee for the presidency being that fundamentally dishonest about core parts of his campaign platform."

Obama started lying in the first minute of the debate. For instance “The auto industry is roaring back.” Last time I checked, US auto sales were a bit anemic, the Volt was out of production, and GM was sliding slowly back into bankruptcy.

It must be so difficult for these libs after they have worked so hard to portray Romney as they want and then the real deal shows up unfiltered. Yikes. The audience sees for themselves and all these libs scream, “He lied.” Ain’t selling guys.

I love how these MSMers and Obama campaigners (indistinguishable) when they take a tiny quote and create a whole distorted story line such as the 47% event.

I thought only Tree-House Al Gore came with Debatamatic programmable personas.

Actually it’s not hard to remember at all, if you can only remember the last thing Obozo said.

Apparently, this is going to be the talking points as a result of Romney’s whooparse on Obozo last night.

Bammy was leading the charge this morning at a rally in Denver...calling Romney a liar. This is all they have.

If Romney was lying why didn’t Obama point out his lies last night? Because, when you lie as much as Obama does, you don’t know the truth from your lies. Clearly, Obozo doesn’t have a clue and all he can do is lie.

I knew that was coming. Hussein is a bully and doesn’t understand the difference between being aggressive in making your point and using ad hominem insults. I’m sure Romney’s advisors are well aware of that and preparing for it.

Obozo”I won” “If they bring a knife, we bring a gun”. “Get in their faces”

"fundamentally dishonest"

That's it - that's the "Narrative" that the Dems and the MSM decided on after the debate. You will be hearing it hundreds of times.

It doesn’t worry me. Romney’s had to deal with that meme from the start.

When Hussein starts with the personal attacks, I wish Romney could say something to remind people of Obozo’s “knife/gunfight” phrase, or his “get in their faces”. Something to remind people of Obozo’s double standard-he can dish it out but he can’t take it. The classic bully coward.

So tired of blame, excuses, ridicule, name-calling. So ready to hear what Americans truly deserve: the truth.

I see a pattern developing - the republican beats the snot out of the democrat in straight up debate, after the republican leaves the stage the democrat (and the media toads) cry 'liar'.

If the republican is lying so brazenly in debate I expect the democrat to call them on it and demand they explain themselves immediately.

I agree 100%. But truthfully (HA) Obie and Company's response is simply childish and needs to be dismissed as such. Rommey’s team has been pretty good at responding to Obie, Axelrod, Plouffe’s adolescent rants. This is just one more.
