There IS a way to derail the Romney lie machine

20. It may not require a blitz.

If Obama said only once, "There is a point where we have to ask whether a man who lies as recklessly and casually as Governor Romney does is fit to hold this office," then it's on the table for the rest of the campaign.

From there it is just a matter for surrogates, and ads if needed.

Every lie becomes, "Just one more proof that Governor Romney has something fundamentally flawed in his character."

Obama could back-peddle and never repeat the charge explicitly. He would just start describing himself as someone who humbly tries, every day, to show the people that he has the basic integrity to hold the office they have entrusted him with, and everyone would know what that meant.

When asked about it in a debate, he could say, "I am not here to call Governor Romney names. I have a country to run. The decision as to whether Governor Romney, or myself, are honest enough men to hold this office is a decision the people have to make for themselves."
