Another glorious day — can Fall be far behind?

Another great video from Team Obama — this time a condensed version of the President’s stump speech:

This guy seems as though his swift-boating isn’t working the way he thought it would — at least that is the way it looks from this TV-less household:

An article written by David Frum back in February seems to have a new life on Twitter this AM. This is the article detailing Grover Norquist’s requirements for a GOP president — and apparently all they need is to have someone sign whatever comes out of the Congress:

They have reconciled themselves to a Romney candidacy because they see Romney as essentially a weak and passive president who will concede leadership to congressional conservatives:
“All we have to do is replace Obama. … We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don’t need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. … We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don’t need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate”.

Greg Sargent takes his own paper to task for a clearly wrong bit of “both sides do it”:

The problem is not that both candidates are equally responsible for making this debate impossible. Rather, one candidate is far more than the other for making this debate impossible. The candidate who is far more responsible is Mitt Romney.[…]
Romney, meanwhile, is making claims that are designed to obfuscate, rather than clarify, the differences between the candidates. The Romney camp continues to claim Obama “raided” Medicare for $716 billion to pay for Obamacare, casting Obama as the real threat to Medicare and to seniors. But those savings are wrung from providers, not benefits, and Obamacare lowers costs for the very same seniors Romney and Ryan are pretending to defend from the alleged “cuts” to Medicare.[…]
