Romney is socially awkward.

[DMX7]

This guy says a lot of stupid stuff.

The "who let the dogs out?" comment was the worst, but this is also quite an embarrassment for Mitt.

He mocks the cookies he was given free as 7-Eleven store cookies which actually came for a local "institution", the extremely popular Bethel Bakery.

"We wanted him to be welcomed with the best in the burg, and he had no idea, this guy has no idea how beloved this institution is that provided these cookies,” Bethel Bakery owner John Walsh said in an interview with ABC affiliate WTAE-TV out of Pittsburgh.

The ass grab thing was also quite awkward to watch.

Are we really going to go down this road again.

Barack Obama has already surpassed W. on stupid things said -- and in just 3 and a half years. Take his teleprompter away and he's a blithering idiot. 57 states, Corpse-men, Maldives; the list is pretty long.

:lol

Not even close. That's your evidence? That's your list? But If you'd like to make W. the new metric, then you've just set yourself up, but I'll spare you the embarrassment unless you'd like me to do otherwise.

[spursncowboys]

Yeah I think W had more goof ups. This should be an understandable thing, with all the times they have to make speeches. Although Obama does use his teleprompter way more than any other president, I think.

There's a lot of -- I don't know what the term is in AUSTRIAN, wheeling and dealing." --confusing German for "Austrian," a language which does not exist, Strasbourg, France, April 6, 2009

His unprecendented overuse of the word "unprecedented" was noted by journalists two years ago: http://www.politico.com/news/s...
Yet he continues to misuse and overuse the word, when he recently stated the false remark:

“Ultimately, I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress." A n American 6th grader should know that this is precisely what the Supreme Court is appointed to do, overturn laws passed by elected legislators when the are deemed unconstitutional--and this comment is from a man who claims to have taught constitutional law--really?

"Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain...administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change." --Amman, Jordan, July 22, 2008

"On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong."

"I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go." --at a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon

"Why can't I just eat my waffle?" --after being asked a foreign policy question by a reporter while visiting a diner in Pennsylvania"It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." --explaining his troubles winning over some working-class voters"Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions." --exasperated by reporters after a news conference

Who gives a fuck? How about he was a corporate raider thats rich as fuck with a bunch of rich friends that are contributors to organizations like the ALLC that could give a fuck about any of us because we cannot contribute enough to his election effort to be worth a squirt of piss as to policy making decisions if elected.

We are so fucked and you guys want to talk about him being awkward at times as if it matters?

We deserve what we get.

Did you see the clip?

He stated that they looked too good to be homemade, and asked if they were purchased at 7-11 or the likes.

I didn't see where he said they looked "too good" or something to that effect. Are you sure you didn't make that part up?

[DMX7]

And I'm still waiting for your evidence, Yoni. Nothing you've posted has been anything other than misspoken words or phrases - not evidence that he is socially awkward. The fact that you cling to the 57 state thing enough to post it twice though is just more evidence of how desperate you are to convince yourself otherwise.

He was fucking engaged in a bit of good-hearted teasing. The left will literally latch on to any shred of hope they can make the opposition candidate look bad.

These candidates know, when they're on the campaign trail, that people spend days preparing for their visits...putting their best forward for the candidates to enjoy. Romney knew those cookies didn't come from 7-11 -- Unless of course, he would have been at a campaign event at Southland Corps. headquarters then, he would have wondered if the cookies came from Buccee's.

He was ribbing the woman.

Have you ever had a friend (assuming you have those) buy a new toy and show it off to you? For instance, a new HD flat screen television. And you say something to the effect of, "Hey, I thought you were getting a high def television?"

Seriously.

C'mon! The man needed a teleprompter to address a classroom full of grade schoolers. If that isn't the very definition of social ineptness, I don't know what is.

Bottom line? Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will both say things and do things that can be mocked by the opposition and lifted up as PROOF of what an idiot they are.

Neither man achieved the level of success they have by being socially awkward. Obama organized communities. Romney, companies.

I only got in this thread to point that out...and, to mock Barry a bit.

[BlairForceDejuan]

Romney has bills son. He could give two fucks.

[DarkReign]

Romney is socially awkward for the same reason that Jon Kerry was socially awkward.

Theyre nothing like common folk, they never were, they never will be and their political aspirations force them to try and "be common and relatable".

Theyre not common and they are nothing even remotely like the Plebs they wish to govern. Thats what blue-bloods sound like and act like when surrounded by the common man, very off-putting.

Thats why Paul and Clinton werent/arent awkward in the same sense. They are self-made people, they grew up in middle class, upper middle class families, went to public school with other normals and didnt forget the lifestyle.

Kerry? Romney?! Blue bloods, through and through. Private schools, rich upbringing, never once in their formative years did they venture outside the country club circle and learn social skills that dont involve raising your pinky while drinking tea and discussing the awful lower class' expectations.

This isnt a revelation. No one is likeable in these horse races, they just so happen to have the proper consonant at the end of the name that the monkeys are programmed to love or hate.

I actually don't remember the verbatim of it, so I may be wrong on the exact words. Sorry if I was wrong, I was making the point that it isn't so bad as people try to make out.

I understand exactly what you're saying, and I think he tried to pull that off in order to get out of eating the cookies which he NEVER ate -- not even one. The fact that he knows the community was putting its best foot forward only compounds the insult and further proves that he is socially awkward and an elitist.

:lmao this is so hypocritical it's not even funny.


I agree with you 100%, calling a presidential candidate an "elitist" is retarded and stupid, you should WANT your president to be elite. It's hypocritical however because the Republican party has used to term elitist to smear Democratic candidates 100x as much as the other way around.
