Yes, of course. Except when they are talking privately to a roomful of rich donors at a fundraiser and the dems get hold of it and make political hay out of it for a month. That's different.

Adjective choice is one thing. Your outrage was over "classy" and the use of what is considered a profanity by many. Which is rather funny - I had no idea you were so against the use of those words. Especially considering the completely foul, foul mouths that have historically inhabited the Oval Office and environs.

Romney-Ryan was just rated by Politifact (or FactCheck, I forget which) as speaking over 50% lies. Romney is a bullshitter!

Whole concepts relating that you think 47% of your fellow citizens "will never take responsibility for their lives" and are freeloaders is hardly the same thing - and it ends your presidential hopes. And rightly so.

Yes because a standing US president calling his opponent a bullshitter is a classy thing to do, especially when it's reported by international media. Right. And feel free to redefine your point that "talking privately" only means what you want it to mean, when it suits your agenda.

Obama didn't say, "Go fu.ck yourself", like Dick Cheney did in public on the Senate Floor.

Obama didn't say, "There's that major-league ******* from the NY Times" as President George W Bush did in public at a campaign rally.

Obama didn't say, "Dan Rather is a bastard" as President George HW Bush did in public at a press conference.

Right. And feel free to redefine your point that "talking privately" only means what you want it to mean, when it suits your agenda.

Romney was in a private campaign dinner where cell phones are physically removed from the attendees, and they are told recording is forbidden. Obama was talking in private to the press (which isn't private).

Your outrage at Obama using the term "bullshi.tter" pretty funny, considering that Obama is considered by all around him to surprisingly be pretty profanity-free and polite, especially compared to George W (who had one hell of a potty mouth, all the time). And that doesn't even approach Lyndon Johnson, who talked profanity to the press all the time.

So I guess, in the words of Joe Biden, this wasn't "A big f*cking deal?"

Everybody is, of course - especially the exceptionally patriotic conservative right wing - outraged at this lack of respect to the office of the President of the United States.

Simply outraged!

Ohio State Representative Lynn Watchmann, introducing Mitt Romney at a campaign rally in Defiance, Ohio on Thursday evening called President Obama "disgusting," according to tweets by several CBS reporters on the scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this president is DISGUSTING!" State Rep speaking at Romney rally declares

What does Dick Cheney have to do with anything?

You are a trip. If Romney would have said anything remotely close to this, we'd have 15 propaganda threads about how he is incapable of running the country.


You're too much. 12 days till Buh Bye.

Just point out to you that the top elected officials of the land use profanity in public.

I know you are very upset about it, right?

What are you so upset about - that a profanity adjective was used instead of a non-profanity adjective?

I could care less if Romney swore. Your ass-u-mption is wrong. But makes you look rather silly. I love it when people make things up out of thin air, then use that lie as a cudgel.

What I do care about is Romney's relentless and repeated outright lying. Mitt Romney is a serious and serial liar, about everything. He has repeatedly lied to the American public, to our faces. Because Romney is a serious, outrageous liar, he has disqualified himself from the Presidency - and that disqualification occurred in the 2008 campaign, not in 2012. 2012 just proved he still is what he is - a liar just like he was in 2008.

Hahahahaha.... she's spinning out of control again, folks.

He lies about EVERYTHING!!!??? Hahahahaha... I'm going to miss your brand of comedy.

it really is lightweight compared to past chatter between candidates. of course any talk pales in comparison to canings, duals, guns being pulled on political opponents in House session. so tame these days.
