President Obama to Ryan: "We don't need an INSIDE JOB in Washington"

WOODBRIDGE, Va. —

Speaking from a minor league baseball field to a roaring crowd of 12,000, Obama fired Romney's declaration that he'll "get the job done from the inside" right back at him.

“What kind of inside job is he talking about," Obama asked. "Is it the job of rubber-stamping the top-down, you’re-on-your-own agenda of this Republican congress? Because then we don’t want it!"

He continued:

If it’s the job of letting oil companies write our energy policy, we don’t want it.

If it’s the job of outsourcers writing our tax code, we don’t want it.

If it’s the job of letting politicians decide who you can marry or control the health care choices that women should be able to make for themselves, we’ll take a pass.

“We don’t want an inside job in Washington, we want change in Washington,” he concluded as the crowd went wild.

My 4 acres sports ground can accomodate 8000 to 10,000 chairs for audience.

12,000 crowd is not that much.

The first two posts - Obama didn't speak to that many people when he spoke to 12K and "Romney is handsome"?

MIRT may be interested in keeping an eye on things.
