Son Of A Mitt: Obama Is "Great"
(ACN) Showing that good ol' John McCain fighting spirit, Mitt Romney's son Matt Romney lavished praise on Barack Obama while supposedly stumping for his father in Hawaii on Tuesday.
When asked during a television interview if he considered Barack Obama to be a Christian, the younger Romney answered: “I’m not here to talk about President Obama. I think he is great. I’m here to talk about my dad and what he would bring to the country.”
A Freudian slip? … A brief moment of candor? … Or was the younger Romney taking a page out of his dad's playbook and simply flubbed an attempt to take pandering to the next level? (I had pineapples with my cheesy grits this morning and man-oh-man, they were delicious.)
There is a back-story. Back in December, the younger Romney, when asked if his father would be releasing his tax returns, quipped: "I heard someone suggest the other day that as soon as President Obama releases his grades and birth certificate ... then maybe he'll do it."
After making the statement, Matt sent a tweet to his father which read "My bad." Shortly thereafter, Romney released his tax returns but Barack Obama still refuses to release his college records or his actual birth certificate.
Insiders are speculating that the younger Romney is still smarting over the earlier flub and is simply being cautious not to make derogatory remarks about Obama, but this recent lavishing of praise most certainly does not help Romney, who is battling to convince Republican voters that he is conservative and that one of the things he would not "bring to the country" is a warm and gushy feeling that Obama is "great."
You can almost see it coming. Fast forward to the Obama-Romney Presidential Debates:
Romney: ObamaCare is an abomination. It must be repealed.
Obama: What are you talking about Mitt? We used RomneyCare as the model for our government-mandated health care plan and we brought in your own people to help us craft it.
Romney: President Obama, your presidency has been one huge failure.
Obama: Come on Mitt. Talk to your son Matt. He thinks I'm great.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. While fleeting, the episode reveals deep flaws in the Romney campaign.
A great deal of ink has been spilled as of late criticizing the media for not properly vetting Obama, but there's a lot of blame to go around. The McCain campaign refused to vet Obama and figuratively flinched when outside groups and members of the conservative media attempted to vet Obama.
Romney seems to be using the same playbook. Should Romney secure the nomination and answers all attempts by the voters to vet with Mr. Obama with statements like: ‘I think he's great, but I'm here to talk about what I can bring to the country,’ conservatives may be in for another four years in the cold.

Romney is just another Liberal who masquerades as a Republican. He can be Sinister McScumbag's double.
ReplyDeleteSo who do you want to be the Presidential candidate nominee for the GOP/Republican Party Newt Gingrich? A philanderer and a liar? NO WAY in "HELL"! We will flush him in our toilets just like we flushed Senator John McCain a.k.a. El Presidente Juan MexiCain (coddler of illegal aliens) in 2008. Newt Gingrich like John McCain is a coddler of illegal aliens ever since way way back into the 90's
DeleteWhile Obama might say that he patterned Obamacare to Romneycare, let us be true to ourselves. That there are a big difference between the two. Obamacare is Federally mandating us to buy Health Insurance which is unconstitutional and worst Obamacare criminalizes us all Americans that is why the Obama administration had to hire 18,000 personnel just to see to it that it be enforced. Problem is while the current Obama administration is willing to criminalize us all Americans (US citizens and legal residents/immigrants) the current Obama administration doesn't want to criminalize law breaking foreign nationals/foreigners a.k.a. illegal aliens or for illegal aliens advocates they call them illegal immigrants or undocumented immigrants just to minimize the impact of the crime they have been doing. With regards to younger Matt statement telling or saying that Obama is "GREAT" well for me Obama is indeed "GREAT" for having today close to US$ 5.00 a gallon of gasoline nowadays. He is great for having a wife who is so extravagant on her travels. He is great for having a behest loan given to a campaign donor which eventually lead to Solyndra scam. He is great for being a lawless President by coddling illegal aliens instead of arresting and deporting them all like President Dwight Eisenhower did (imagine deporting close to 2 million "1.8 million are Mexicans" with only 750 immigration agents at that time). He is great for submitting a fake birth certificate expressing that he was born in Hawaii but not ( Mother gave birth in Mombasa, Kenya) and so forth and so forth. He is great that he will be defeated and voted out from office by November 2012 Presidential elections. Hope he be put behind bars for electoral frauds and other crimes against the American people.
ReplyDeletePresident Truman deported twelve million illegals even though it took two years to do it and at that time it wasn't because they were committing crimes (even though they may have been) but it was to free up jobs for returning veterans from the Korean war. Can you imagine obamamie doing some thing like this?
DeleteThe Obamas have taken lies, dishonesty, deceit, mendacity, subterfuge and obfuscation to new uncharted depths. They are verbally abusive to the citizenry and they display an animus for civility. They are both bigots and display disrespect for the sanctity of the office of President and first lady. What the two of them have shared has been proved to be lies. He lied about when and how they met, he lied about his mothers death and problems with insurance, Michelle lied to a crowd pursuant to nearly $500,000.00 bank stocks they inherited from his family. He has lied about his fathers military service, about the civil rights movement, ad nauseum. He lied to the world about the Supreme Court in a State of the Union address. He berated and publicly insulted a sitting Congressman, He has surrounded himself with the most rabidly, radical, socialist academicians today.. He has fought for abortion procedures and opposed rulings that protected women and children, that even Planned Parenthood did not seek to support. He is openly hostile to business and aggressively hostile to Israel. His wife treats being the First Lady, as her personal American Express Black Card. He has committed so many acts of disrespect for the American People - killed the bill of laying a pipeline across the United States, refused to allow drilling in most applications for a permit, etc., etc., etc. To think that so many have served in the military to protect the right that a Kenyan can come to America and raise to the highest level of Government with the right to be Commander in Chief and to have the First Lady demonstrating raw contempt for white America being transpicuous - unbelievable while demonstrating their elitist Leninists contempt for America.
DeleteWell said! Only wish the rest of America understood. Honestly it will be our doom. They are so many things going on that it's hard to understand everything but every now and then something comes to light like the voter ID issue where Democrats don't want the requirement for identification. What is really behind this? I think we know but no one will say it...fraud is the only answer. I always wondered how some people got elected even when I knew no one would vote that way. Only one legal vote should be counted…not 10 dead people, 15 illegal, 25 non-residential (out of state). No wonder people feel disenfranchised.
DeleteBill:"President Truman deported twelve million illegals (...) it was to free up jobs for returning veterans from the Korean war." - When the veterans were returning from Korea, Truman was not longer president but Eisenhower.
