The 'Swift Boating' of Obama underway

Probably these bogus charges will hurt Obama, no matter what.  After all, similar dirty tactics worked well against Sen. John Kerry, retroactively turning a decorated Vietnam war hero into some kind of pompous show-off.  

Anyway what the Romney campaign is doing is Hardball 101: turn your opponent's greatest strength -- in this case, Obama's lonely decision to assassinate bin Laden -- into a liability.  There's a good chance it'll work again.
