Dick Morris: OBAMA VOTES FOR NEWT

Great piece by Dick Morris about Obama running ads against Romney showing sines that he’d rather run against Newt!

Does President Barack Obama get a vote in the Republican primary?  Apparently, he wants one.  His campaign organization has targeted Mitt Romney for negative ads, a sure sign that he would rather run against Newt than against Mitt.

He may not be right.  His political judgment is, after all, flawed.  But he likely sees the race in ideological terms — as he sees the world — and would rather run against a strong conservative like Newt than someone with moderate credentials like Romney.

How do we know?  Obama is now running ads, through the Democratic Party, in Virginia, North Carolina, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin attacking Romney for changing his position on abortion. The ad begins with an announcer saying, in ominous tones, that he is about to describe the drama of “two men inhabiting one body.”  No, he is not talking about Sybil, the multiple personality disorder.  He is attacking Romney for once having been pro choice and now being pro life.  Apparently Obama does not understand that Mitt — like Reagan, Nixon, and Bush-41 before him, have abandoned their pro choice positions as they came to know more about the issue and embraced a pro life posture.
