Did anybody see Rachel Maddow's segment on

the campaign schedules of President Obama, Romney and Ryan?

OMG the schedule that President Obama announced for a 48 hour period is exhausting to just think about. This is a man who knows the value of working for what he wants. Nobody can doubt that the President has and will continue to work hard for this country.

Compare that to Romney and Ryan who only had one event each yesterday. Romney has not actually held a job in years and has no clue about hard work. Ryan just lives in a fairy tale world.

Instead of capitalizing on their meager bounce and hit the campaign trail, they took a week off. They're both such pampered, entitled creatures that all that hard work is taxing. Willard probably needed a few massages, mani/pedi and Ann's love and adoration to recharge him after that exhausting convention.

Ryan probably started to feel his huge muscles begin to atrophy without his regular manly weight lifting workouts so needed some time to pump up before the next round.

They're probably feeling the same after those grueling debates. We know it's hard because Mrs. willard tells us often how hard it is

keeping that robot going must require an entire IT team! Hard to do while on the road.

all this talk about, from his family no less (!) about being afraid he'll have a mental breakdown. They might be afraid to put him out there more. I also think he calls the shots so he's limiting the schedule afraid he'll say something stupid again.

It was actually very smart of Obama to do this 48 hour no sleep thingie. Points out just how lazy/detached/disconnected Romney is.
