In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine during the latest salvo in a campaign that has seen its share of insults hurled from both sides, President Obama referred to his challenger Mitt Romney as a "bullsh**ter".

Passed on a message from the young daughter of an editor of the magazine, the president remarked that he "does very well in that demographic. Ages six to 12? I'm a killer … You know, kids have good instincts. They look at the other guy and say, 'Well, that's a bullsh**ter, I can tell.'"

Romney campaign spokesman Kevin Madden responded, saying, "President Obama is rattled and on the defensive. He's running on empty and has nothing left but attacks and insults. It's unfortunate he has to close the final days of the campaign this way."

Both campaigns and their allies have launched insults and insinuations at one another, with charges ranging from the charge of possible felonies to possibly having a hand in a woman's death to the unconstitutional supposition of the presidency by a noncitizen. A week ago, Romney's son Tagg told a radio interviewer that he felt like running down to the stage and taking a swing at the president during the second presidential debate, a comment he apologized for at the end of the third debate.

"What is true is that trust is very important in this election. The president is someone who says what he means and does what he says”, when asked about the president's "bulls***er" comment, White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer said he hadn't yet read the article but argued. He suggested reporters shouldn't be "distracted by the word" bullsh**ter but should be focused on the larger issue of Romney's trustworthiness.
