Even Romney agrees:
"I know that you recognize a lot of people help you in a business. Perhaps the bank, the investors. There is no question your mom and dad, your school teachers. The people who provide roads, the fire, the police. A lot of people help. But let me ask you this. Did you build your business? If you did, raise your hand. Take that Mr. President! This is what’s happening in this country. These people are entrepreneurs."

I do love how the Brits really don't hold back...

...David Cameron wasted no time in delivering a carefully calibrated put down. During a visit to the Olympic Park, the prime minister said Britain was delivering the games in a bustling city. "Of course it's easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere," the prime minister said in a none too subtle reference to the 2002 Salt Lake City games famously rescued by Romney.
Cameron made clear his irritation when he met Romney later in the day for 45 minutes of talks at No 10. As he emerged from the famous front door – alone to avoid breaching protocol – Romney gave a clue as to why he had stumbled. He reeled off a list of countries he had discussed with Cameron but declined to spell out his thinking in foreign policy on the grounds that only a sitting President should pronounce on overseas soil.
These remarks showed that Romney had absorbed lesson number one of overseas trips that has no doubt been drilled into him by his foreign policy advisers - do not criticize the president when you are out of the US. Sadly for Romney, he forgot an even more important lesson that is so obvious his advisers had probably not bothered to spell it out: try not to offend your host, particularly when he is the leader of your closest sister party in a country that is meant to enjoy a "special relationship" with the US.
The comparisons with Romney's trip to Europe and Obama's visit at almost exactly the same stage in the electoral cycle four years ago are almost too embarrassing to mention. Obama wooed a quarter of a million people in Berlin while Romney was mocked by the British prime minister.

Derp. You should try to understand what I'm saying before getting angry about it.
First, what in my response makes you think I was in the least bit angry? Second, your Tweedle Dee/Tweedle Dum argument wasn't that difficult to understand. You're above petty politics. Good for you.

Ohio polls favor Barack Obama; Ohio history favors Sherrod Brown: Thomas Suddes
Published: Saturday, August 04, 2012, 9:02 AM
By Thomas Suddes, The Plain Dealer
Sen. Sherrod Brown and President Barack Obama -- looking good so far in Ohio. Unless Republicans can buy a couple of miracles, Mitt Romney isn't going to carry Ohio this November; Barack Obama is. And Republican State Treasurer Josh Mandel, of Lyndhurst, will have a tough time unseating Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, of Avon.

Jenna Jameson Endorses Mitt Romney
Retired porn star Jenna Jameson waded into the 2012 presidential race on Thursday, choosing a San Francisco strip club as the venue to announce her support for GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney."I'm very looking forward to a Republican being back in office," Jameson said while sipping champagne in a VIP room at Gold Club in the city's South of Market neighborhood. "When you're rich, you want a Republican in office."
With an estimated net worth of $30 million and a resume that includes 160 films, Jameson ranks as one of the porn industry's wealthiest players.

So, vote for Romney for more porn?
Not exactly. From the article:
Romney's presidential aspirations have intersected with pornography and adult film stars before. Earlier this year, a clip surfaced showing Romney unveiling an effort to combat online pornography in 2008.
"I wanna make sure that every new computer sold in this country after I'm president has installed on it a filter to block all pornography and that parents can click that filter to make sure their kids don't see that kinda stuff coming in on their computer," he said at the time.
And last month, a former anti-porn prosecutor in the Reagan administration claimed that Romney's campaign had vowed to "vigorously" crack down on pornographers once in the White House.
