It's Monday morning, and the Mitt team is bleeding after a really bad weekend. A bad weekend, mind you, where Democratic operatives mocked Mitt's team for whining, Republican pundits suggested that Mitt's got something to hide, and even candidates for Veep wouldn't answer questions about Mitt's finances.
So today it's all about allegations of Obama's cronyism -- mind you, they did not provide any specifics whatsoever. It's apparently no longer about attacking people based on specific allegations, but now it's just flinging poo and seeing if it sticks.
But I think they're trying to tie Obama to:
A123 - An American company that twice received grants from the Bush Administration;
Solyndra - An American company that applied for a loan guarantee under a Bush program, and conditionally approved by the Bush Administration;
GM - A bailout and restructuring, for which Mitt Romney congratulated Obama earlier this year for following the playbook that he had written in the NYT in 2008;
Fannie / Freddie - Mitt's own "blind" trust owned shares of Fannie / Freddie, so what would Mitt do, skip out and let the entire mortgage system collapse?
But I suppose the worst part of it all, is that Team Mitt doesn't think the issues surrounding Tagg Romney and Solamere Capital or the supposedly "blind" trusts, which are managed by Mitt's personal lawyer.
