I'm certainly not defending the campaign tactics of the president, but are you really of the belief that Romney's negative campaigning and attack ads are any different? In my opinion, they're both the same. The campaign strategists, advertising people and speech writers are all the same. They're interchangeable between candidates and even between parties. They know what works and they manage their candidates very well. They are paid very well for what they do, what they get the candidates to say and do.

Actually, they manage he electorate very well. They keep the focus on the incidents and events which are meaningless to the real issues, but that they know will incense their targeted audience. Both the media and the electorate fall for it every time. Shame on us.
