Romney is funny

[spence]

He goes on the stump and drops the Birther card. No, really!

Four Laughable Explanations for Mitt Romney's Birther Joke

Then he says he believes Obama was born in the US.

Then he says it was just a joke and he'd like everyone to put his and Obama's past behind them and focus on the issues.

Stuff like this will kill him with the independent voters.

I watched it....horribly offensive and will probably derail the entire campaign...weren't both Presidential candidates asked about their birth certificates the last time around and wasn't the republican the first to be asked about his birthplace or certificate?...maybe he's just getting that one out of the way probably very smart and prudent

You're missing the point. Romney can't come off as genuine even when he's trying...and you guys think Obama is fake. I'm really surprised actually that he'd go there.

And the Ryan addition looks like it will just highlight Romney's flip flops.

I did think it was a pretty crude attempt at pokin Obama
and the guy gets offended about askin for tax returns and he said that we should let Detroit go bankrupt after getting a bailout at Bain.
Do as I say not as I do

[Fly Rod]

He had a GREAT SPEECH today....He will be the next president....regardless of the birth certificate remark.

Barry is a fake

How anyone can support Romney after his history at Bain Capital or what ever that place is spelled is beyond me... Lets see.. Bain Capital buys a company, fires everyone and outsources the jobs overseas..

mmmm yeah.. thats patriotic.

there is no inspiration in this election

Yeah because all the good things Obama has done over the past four years are going to be difficult to overcome.

best four years of your life...except you might not be smart enough to know or understand why...that's the schtick

B O should be grateful for this "off color humor" ...it might not only help with independents but also with his lackluster fundraising



“Governor Romney has embraced the most strident voices in his party instead of standing up to them,” Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said in an e-mail. “But Governor Romney’s decision to directly enlist himself in the birther movement should give pause to any rational voter across America.”

The Obama forces followed up with its appeal for money. An e-mail sent by Jim Messina, the campaign’s manager, reprised the birth certificate remark and asks recipients to “take a moment or two to think about that, what he’s actually saying and what it says about Mitt Romney.”

It then asked for donations of $3 or more.

Not as much as an election year of pander to Independents, with talks about crossing the aisle, and then doing the exact opposite for the last 4 years will do to Obama.

There are some interesting articles that discuss this very topic.

True, but fortunately the man at the helm the past four years had vast business experience before entering public service, exceptional history of running successful organizations, and a generally positive track record of saving businesses with private sector funds.

Oh, wait.

Spence often highlights we are choosing the lesser of two evils - maybe he is right....

Nothing more than a poor attempt at humour but also shows why there is no real connection btw him and the public.

FDR was one out greatest presidents, during one of our most troubling times. He was beyond rich and didnt earn it himself. He never knew a hard days work. Did he need to "connect" to the public?

This whole connection thing is marketing by the Dems. I guaranty 80% of Americans cant connect with Nancy Pelosi. I know very few who "connect" with Obama.

This is simple and should be an add by Romney. List all the current problems in the country - debt, unemployment , etc and then say you have 2 choices - list Obamas resume and list Romney's resume. Who in their right mind would hire a law professor and community organizer to solve this country's problems? It doesnt add up

But don't you think people are more apt to vote for someone they think can relate to them? Romney doesn't poll as good as Ryan or Obama on that. I see Ryan in a golf shirt and he seems comfortable - Romney looks more comfortable in a tie or a sports jacket.

"There's really no way to make the conspiracy about President Obama's birth certificate completely go away, so we might as well laugh at it -- and make sure as many people as possible are in on the joke."
