The President appears intent on focusing attention away from his record in the Oval Office, and on to Romney’s past. But both candidates have a past. So which do you prefer?

◼ Okay Mr. President, we can talk about the past - Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion

...the President has a long history of questionable relationships and conduct. Yet while President Obama was doing this, Mitt Romney was on a different path trying to save the troubled Salt Lake City Olympics, (h/t NewsMax):

Having faced a budget deficit of $379 million when he took over, Romney ended up with a surplus of $56 million. The money went to fund future Olympics.

When he took the job, Romney said he would accept the offered salary of $250,000 a year only if the Olympics made a profit. When it did, he turned his salary over to charity. In addition, he contributed $1 million to the games.

But the Obama campaign doesn’t want to talk about that. They’d rather focus on whether Bain outsourced jobs while Romney was salvaging the seemingly hopeless Salt Lake City Olympics, saving numerous domestic jobs in the process....

◼ After spending tens of millions of dollars on negative ads which have thus far only resulted in a close election remaining close, Team Obama has not only decided to double down on the nastiness but to push the very same outsourcing charges numerous media outlets have long ago declared untrue.

Though the media hasn't made Obama pay a price for this, Romney has begun to hit back with a narrative concerning the president's credibility, and this latest attack will only help to feed that narrative.
