A loud cry of "Thank you, Mr. President, thank you." is being heard today, from sea to shining sea, from males, across this great land of ours. It is not due to any particular piece of policy or program that the President has championed for us. And it has nothing to do with anything that other guy has said or done. Nope. We are cheering because the President has given us the most eloquent hall pass ever, when he said these beautiful words...

"I am going to Las Vegas to prep for the debate."

Brilliant! Simply brilliant!

And from everything I have seen, heard and read, Michele, arguably one of the smartest woman/person, ever, has bought it!

This will go down as one of the greatest days in male history!

So, thank you President Obama, (Tear rolling down my cheek), thank you!

Romney/Ryan campaign hire laid off Tonight Show writers

In what is being viewed as an attempt to re-brand their campaign as a more mature and lighter campaign alternative to what they have been so far, the Romney/Ryan campaign has retained the services of the laid off Tonight Show writers.

Romney/Ryan campaign officials have decided to drop the "Town Hall" format they have been using at rallies. Instead, Mitt Romney will be seated behind a desk with Paul Ryan, adjacent to him on a comfortable couch. The advisers feel this will allow for even more whimsical banter and redundant back and forth, that their candidates are already loved for.

It will also let the campaign introduce four minutes of commercial spots for every eight minutes of "Rally Time" thus ensuring each rally makes a profit.

One of the new writers said "we are confident we can make these guys funnier and lighter than they already are".

This new format will also be more in line with GOP standards and practices, that rallies are more for entertainment and fund raising than factual information.

We will follow this story as it further develops.

In a move political pundits are describing as tactical genius, Mitt Romney has declared his first "Day of Recognition" to help deflect criticism from his running mate, Paul Ryan, who is taking his mother, Betty Douglas, on his trip to Florida, to campaign on Saturday.

The Romney Campaign said there will be an afternoon whiteboard conference to explain this strategy further.

Today, while Governor Romney was at a local Home Depot parking lot, waiting patiently to be selected for work as an regular day laborer, he fielded this question from a reporter for the space periodical The Universe On $26,575,342.47 Per Day.

Reporter: Governor Romney, would you cut NASA funding?
Romney: (while jumping into the bed of a pick-up truck with fellow regular day laborers) No! I would increase it for a mission to Kolob.

When we asked the Romney Campaign for comment, they said they would get back to us.

Washington insiders are reporting that an unnamed source has released a 2008 McCain Campaign, Vice Presidential, Vetting Committee video of Governor Mitt Romney. The video shows Governor Romney answering questions in front of the vetting committee while hooked to a polygraph (lie detector) machine. The Vetting Committee was reportedly not impressed with the results which lead to them eventually recommending Governor Sarah Palin for the position.

Dana Bash, CNN SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT, is reporting:

"I have an unnamed source that has confirmed that, this unnamed source, is still unnamed."

A report from Republicans on the House Committee on Energy and Commerces, that was first reported on by Politico, exposes that White House aides set up meetings with registered lobbyists at a Caribou Coffee, located across the street from the White House to avoid appearing on the White House visitors log. It was clearly an transparent attempt to skirt the transparency laws and to avoid drinking at Starbucks.

Since then, GOP investigators have uncovered evidence of additional, questionable meetings, with registered lobbyists at locations other than the White House.

Here is a video of a young White House intern meeting with a lobbyist for the denim industry at a local amusement venue. Is this just another intern who's been caught playing with balls?

Or this video of two White House staffers being photographed with a high level Disney representative. It's clear who the master is, in this relationship.

It is still to early to tell if this story will have legs but we will continue to follow it, none the less.

As mentioned in at least one DKOS diary, here, yesterday. And in this Associated Press article. The Romney Campaign, with the intent of stopping, the massive snowball of misunderstandings, out of context quotes and other gaffes, from continuing to roll down the hill. Team Romney will now attempt to "push" the Presidential Campaign restart button today with the release of Mitt Romney's new book, titled, "My Struggle: My Plan to Keep You People Away From My Taxes". When a Romney Campaign spokesperson was questioned about the choice of the controversial title, he simply said "It's obvious you have not read the book".

Prior to, today's speech in Warsaw, Poland, Governor Romney, ventured onto the Press Bus to inform them that he has "conditionally agreed to release all of my past tax returns, if Ann's horse, Rafalca, wins the gold medal in the Individual All-Around, Dressage Competition". When the Press Pool, in unison, followed up with "What?" the Governor proceeded to defend his decision by stating "Although these so called dressage experts say Rafalca is "weak" in some events such as the Uneven Bars and Balance Beam. Both Ann and I feel she stands, hands above the other horses in the Vault and the Floor Exercise portion of the Individual All-Around".

His handlers quickly ended the interview and escorted the Governor back to his own vehicle.

In what has become the worse kept secret in the tight lipped, international dressage community, Ann Romney has confirmed today that her horse, Rafalca is suffering significant hair loss. Ms. Romney said "Rafalca is dealing with a very rare, horse, hair-loss disease called Gallopecia" and that "it was probably a result of the tremendous pressure caused by the British Press".

A Team Romney spokesperson said "Rafalca was using an "mane piece" on his neck and "horse hair extensions" in his tail". When pressed for more information the spokesperson confirmed it was one hundred percent American horse hair.
