Mitt Romney to unemployed people: "I'm also unemployed"

[djohn2oo8]

Mitt Romney's given President Obama all kinds of grief for bemoaning "bumps in the road" to economic recovery. In a viral web video released this week, camp Romney creatively anthropomorphized those bumps as unemployed people still struggling after a years-long economic downturn, all of whom stood up and proclaimed, "I'm not a bump in the road."
Leave it to Romney -- net worth over $200 million -- to completely step on his own message.
"I should tell my story," Romney told a group of unemployed people (http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/16/romney-im-also-unemployed/) in Florida. "I'm also unemployed."
Just like the people in his video, Romney's no bump in the road either. But he just stumbled over one.

Monstrously insincere.

[Crookshanks]

I like Romney, but that was a really stupid thing to say.

[boutons_deux]

"I like Romney"

we are all surprised. You know which to love and how to pick winners

"a really stupid thing to say"

he says, has said, MANY stupid things, along without lies.

Remember in 2008 abouts why his rich boys weren't in Iraq or Afghanistan? Because he said they were serving their country by helping him get elected President.

[Winehole23]

Someone was just saying Romney is pretty smart for a shell without a soul. Comments like that make me wonder but OTOH, elite status has its privileges...such as choosing to be unemployed, and flaunting it in front of others.

[boutons_deux]

Actually, so he could vote in MA, he has claimed the unfinished basement of his son's home as is residence, so maybe he really is unemployed.

Rachel has been hammering on this obvious REPUG VOTER FRAUD without mercy.

MA officials say they won't investigate because the time to object was when he voted, and that because he has voted many times from his son's basement, he's obviously a MA resident.

iow, having committed voter fraud successfully, end of story.

Dumb. What a tool.

I like Romney, but that was a really stupid thing to say.
Yes it was.

Dumb. What a tool.
I'd still vote for him over the alternative.

After a brief flirtation with Donald Trump, WC backs the GOP favorite, Mitt Romney.

[ElNono]

WC is gonna be voting for team red, whoever it is.

Romney is a hypocrite, but I'm willing to bet somebody walked out of there thinking "wow, this guy really understands unemployed people like me".

Pandering to the uninformed and gullible isn't necessarily news.

[Trainwreck2100]

he loved to fire a bunch of people in his day. So I'm sure he knows about alot of people that are unemployed, he made them.

I like The Donald, but wasn't I the first here to dismiss him as being serious about running?

[Wild Cobra]

Yes, unless someone could possibly be worse than Obambam.

Maybe some libtards.

That's why most the news is hype and sensationalism. Real news gets disregarded by most.

translation: I like people who bankrupt multiple times and defraud regular Americans out of their life savings. I think this is the perfect person to lead the country.

[hater]

another Bush in the making

[DMX7]

He's such a chameleon. Just says whatever he thinks the few people sitting in front of him want to hear.

[Winehole23]

I like The Donald, but wasn't I the first here to dismiss him as being serious about running?Non-denial denial. I preume you are familiar with the duration of brief flirtations, such your ongoing public flirtation with the Donald.

That's Wild "Seperate But Equal" Cobra you're talking to.

[ElNono]

Yes, unless someone could possibly be worse than Obambam.

Better or worse has nothing to do with it. You're a team player.


Maybe some libtards.

:lol I'm pretty sure Romney isn't targeting libtards with that speech.

Just a thought.

How did he get elected governor anyway?

[ChumpDumper]

Just a thought.

How did he get elected governor anyway?lol equating Republican presidential primaries with a statewide Massachusetts election.

I like The Donald, but wasn't I the first here to dismiss him as being serious about running?

who thought he would seriously run?

[boutons_deux]

Willard ran as RINO to get elected in Deep Blue MA, and then setup socialist/communist state health care.

Now he's running as deep red Repug asshole while disavowing his MA health plan.

[ElNono]

Just a thought.

How did he get elected governor anyway?

Was that speech for his governor campaign?

:lol moving goalposts again
