The crowd responds as President Barack Obama talks about "Romnesia" and the choice facing women in the election during a campaign event at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., Friday, Oct. 19, 2012.

In 2008, I was a college freshman and able to vote for the first time. Over the presidential campaign, President Barack Obama's "hope" and "change" and big picture ideas drew me in. And the petty trivial attacks, like Jeremiah Wright and "Muslim terrorist," from the other side pushed me even closer to supporting Obama.
Not believing anything had changed, six months ago I bought an Obama T-shirt and donated $10 to his campaign.
It seems, though, over the past few weeks, Barack Obama has turned to the petty trivial attacks that turned me off from the Republican side in 2008. He's gone from "hope" and "change" to "Big Bird" and "Romnesia."
Mitt Romney will get my vote this time and Barack Obama can have his T-shirt back.

While Obama may have started his petty campaign in the last few week, Romney started and is finishing with the same pettiness, not to mention the untruths and constant flip flopping. Keep the T shirt, you can wear it to an Obama victory rally and More..

Let's see... that would make you about 22 now... still eligible to be carried on your parents' health insurance. It is quite brave of you to vote for the More..
This is a troll letter There is no way it can be real. The GOP has set the bar to a new low with their attacks on the President. Both sides are disgraceful but the GOP is exponentially more guilty.
