What will the Obama Campaign pull as this election's October surprise?

There is always an October surprise pulled to discredit the opponent in October. Even though these, in the past, have proven to be lies, it usually causes enough confusion to defeat the opponent because the facts usually don't get out until after the election.

This is purely conjecture because I can't think on a level as low and slimy as the Obama team.

    It sounds like Israel will attack Iran before the election. If that happens, its likely Obama will be reelected depending on his reaction of course. I think people are so tired of those lying ads that few people will react to them enough to change their vote. War or not, I'll be voting for Romney.

    Notice how quiet the MSM has been on the shooting by the LGBT dude with the Chick Fil A bag. They don't want that out as a topic of discussion focusing on how they claim those on the right are hate groups and bigots. That goes beyond the political realm. It is terrorism to try to change people's behavior through fear of retribution for voicing and/or financing your political position on an issue by naming them as a hate group. Its the way Hitler created hatred for Jews which allowed him to dispense with massive groups of demographics without a public outcry.

    Another brilliant question by a young Republican. Perhaps it will be the GOP that will pull the October surprise and Romney will produce his earlier tax returns, just don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. We're still waiting for his 2011 return. Don't even mention the President's college transcripts, no US President or Presidential candidate has ever been asked to produce school records and no President has ever produced school records.

    Once voters realize what could be hidden in Romney earlier tax returns; it could easily cost Romney the election. His refusal to produce those earlier tax returns should make all Americans uncomfortable especially since his Campaign has indicated that producing returns prior to 2010 would do Romney "more harm than good".

    Did Romney take advantage of the 2009 Amnesty plan which benefits offshore account holders? If he did; if not for the Amnesty plan, failure to report those accounts on his tax returns is a federal crime. For just how many years could Romney have failed to report those offshore accounts?

    Was Romney able to reduce his tax liabilities by claiming a high current value for stock he donated to charities that he acquired at very low prices? (One of his Bain strategies was to create multiple stock classes for companies he acquired that allowed him basically to manipulate prices by assigning debt to one class and assigning profits to another.)

    Is there is something in those returns that would prove he was involved in Bain Capital decisions after his supposed retroactive retirement of 1999?

    Obama isn't something extra advantageous than a coke snorting cigarette smoking Socialist who might make a good vehicle salesman. He is conscious 0 with regard to the form nor does he care approximately it. He alongside with the recent congress will ruin this us of a so without postpone it will make your head spin.
