SIGN THEM UP FOR OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN

The two best spokesmen for an Obama re-election today are GOP Presidential contenders Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry. Gingrich's big lead in Iowa was obliterated by a Romney Super Pak blitz of negative ads portraying Newt as morally challenged in his personal and professional life. Newt, sounding like a 99% and Occupy Wall Street activist, now blasts Romney, saying Bain Capital under Romney used clever legal ways to loot companies. Bain, Newt charges, represents the "Wall Street model" where you bankrupt a company, take out all the money, and leave behind the workers.

Perry echoes Newt's populist message: "Romney practices vulture capitalism. Vultures are sitting out there waiting for a company to get sick and then they sweep in and eat the carcass, leaving the skeleton" That translates to "Romney fires lots of workers".

Newt and Perry are spot on in their criticism of soon to be anointed GOP Presidential nominee Romney. Unwittingly, they have framed the Presidential debate to follow: the super rich, who care not a whit for the 99% who are suffering under the vulture or crony or trickle down capitalism they personify, versus the betterment of society as a whole.
