The Romney campaign has responded to President Barack Obama’s off-the-cuff remark to Rolling Stone that Romney is a “bullsh*****r.” Romney campaign adviser Kevin Madden said that kind of language from the president is a sign of desperation.
“President Obama is rattled and on the defensive… He’s running on empty and has nothing left but attacks and insults,” said Madden. “It’s unfortunate he has to close the final days of the campaign this way.”
Speaking outside a steel company in Worthington, Ohio, Romney himself slammed his opponent for a “diminished” campaign:
Now, the President has a different agenda. Instead of an agenda about big things like good jobs and take home pay, he has an agenda about smaller and smaller and smaller things. He wants to talk about protecting characters on Sesame Street and then word games—silly word games. And of course, he spends a lot of time attacking me. Attacking me is not an agenda for America’s future and that’s why his campaign is having a hard time.
In an interview with Rolling Stone set to hit newsstands on Nov. 8, Obama sat down with presidential historian Douglas Brinkley. Following the interview, Brinkley recorded a conversation between Rolling Stone‘s executive editor, Eric Bates, and the president.
According to Brinkley:
We arrived at the Oval Office for our 45-minute interview… on the morning of October 11th.
