At a grassroots event on the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines May 24, 2012, President Barack Obama spoke to volunteers and supporters about why he's running for re-election. Thousands of Iowans lined up in the rain to get a spot inside. The President was fired up to be back in Iowa again, and he laid out the stark contrast between Mitt Romney's experience as a corporate buyout specialist and his own experience as President of the United States. He called Romney speech 'cow pie of distortion'.
