Obama made a comment about Hilary Rosen's attack on Ann Romney: he actually defended Mrs. Romney.

As he told Bruce Aune of ABC's Cedar Rapids affiliate KCRG, "There's no tougher job than being a mom. Anybody who would argue otherwise, I think, probably needs to rethink their statement."

I have to agree with him on that.

And if Obama can keep this up and stay away from the mudslinging that the GOP engaged in for the past few months, he's going to end up a lot better off.
