For God's sake, Obama inherited all this mess, along with two ruinous wars. Within only two years, Republicans were screaming he hadn't cleared up their mess. They keep saying he's doing nothing, but their solution is do more of nothing! They want to take money from the poorest and give it to the richest: this is socialism for the rich. Let's try the other way round. Take some of the trillions, literally, they hid: invest in infrastructure, create jobs, ppl can spend their wages on useful stuff like cars, furniture, not hookers and coke, creating more wealth. Develop clean environment, more jobs. But oh no, that would be socialism! When its for the ordinary man, oh that's bad. Give money to the rich, that's good. This is stupid.

Hilary Rosen's attack on Ann Romney by saying that, although she raised five children, she "never worked a day in her life" perfectly fits the definition of a gaffe. A gaffe is a statement that reveals what the spokesperson really thinks but turns out to be embarrassing when it is publicly discussed.

In this case, the embarrassment fell on the Obama administration, so his campaign operatives immediately tried to create political distance between Obama and Rosen. They were not successful. The media refer to her as a "Democratic strategist" or "political analyst."

Rosen visited the Obama White House 35 times. That frequency...
