The Obama campaign has been targeting Romney viciously and unfairly over the last few weeks over his business career. Should I point out that Obama was a lawyer, which are much more disdained than businessmen? We'll leave that for another time.
What Obama is doing is exactly the thing that fires up the crazy "birthers" and the claims that he is a socialist or a communist.
He is attacking capitalism. He is attacking business. Business is capitalism. AMERICA is a capitalistic society. Remember, just over 20 short years ago, we would have had a nuclear war to prevent (or attempt to prevent) the loss of our capitalistic society. Now, we have a President who is blatantly and immorally attacking capitalism, capitalistic careers, ideas, ect.
Then you wonder why the crazies begin to call him a communist or socialist.
If it fires up the birther crazies and rallies them to Romney, well that's Obama's objective achieved. And he's not attacking capitalism, he's attacking those who abuse capitalism - big difference.
