Mitt Romney, a man who NEVER lets the facts get in the way of a good political attack.

"I'm confused. The chart could not be more clear, and yet this idiot STILL doesn't get it!"
I have the theory that the President's hair did not go grey in response to the tough decisions that he has had to make during his first term, but in reaction to ALL of the insanity and stupidity he keeps having to deal with from the Right Wing.

    Romney gets the Pants-on-Fire Award, hands down, in every category.

    Next thing you know, he'll be taking credit for having created the earth – and the white race in particular. LOL, that man has a problem not only with facts, but with REALITY!!!! And he is held out to be the most mature of all the republican candidates, LOL.

    He's like the little boy yelling out in the school yard: "MY daddy invented the first space rocket, and then that very same afternoon he went out and ran the Boston Marathon – in one hour", etc. Seriously, this man has problems. And the way he 'pretends' to hug and kiss his wife, I doubt that they are only problems in the factual realm.

    I know that politicians, of necessity, must have very thick skins. But I've often thought that President Obama -- who learned very early on to stand strong against bigotry and prejudice because of his heritage -- is quite likely more able to handle the outrageous "slings and arrows" that have come his way. I cannot tell you how much I admire his grit and fortitude, not to mention all his other attributes. He stands so far above his Presidential opponent -- who wouldn't know the truth if it slapped him silly. I'm delighted to see that Obama's campaign is stepping up immediately to respond to the lies the GOP is spreading. Keep it up, and beat those bastards!

      7:34 I totally agree with you and have thought the exact same thing about our steady President. He is so, so cool under fire! Thank God we have him in office and I think he truly deserves a second term!

      These Republicans scare the hell out of me!!!

  3. In the twisted way Republicans think, that Romney statement "President Obama did not cause this recession, but he made it worse" is technically correct.

    Notice the graph says "more than 3.9 million PRIVATE SECTOR jobs created in the past 24 months".

    The significant number of PUBLIC SECTOR jobs at every level of government that have lost have seriously stunted the recovery. That's partly because in order to save other vital jobs and services and needs of the country, President Obama was forced to compromise with the ruinous minority Republican Senators and the Republicans in the House.

    And, of course, federal money sent to GOP-run states to save public jobs usually was put into their general funds to balance their budget -- and the public jobs were lost anyway.

      How could that be? President Obama brought back the era of big government with a vengeance! Oh...it was Romney who said that? Never mind.

      How could that be?

      Obama never SAID he brought back big government with a vengeance (That's the teabaggers and GOP talking point), Romney might have SAID that, but it isn't true.

      Politics and Facts aren't your forte', stick to eating paint chips and watching Fox News, Krusty!

    Obama Campaign Takes Back Auto Bailout Reality From Romney’s Lies

    Mitt Romney is now, once again, taking credit for the auto industry bailout. Today in Michigan he claimed the bailout was his idea. Yes, he said let Detroit go bankrupt, and then after Obama saved the auto industry, Mitt tried to take credit for it and then he walked it back during the primaries and then he took credit for it and then he derided it again and now he’s back to taking credit for it. Flip flop flip flop flip flop flip flip…

    The Obama campaign put out a quick video to remind voters of reality. I suppose you should share this with your friends and family who still lean stupid, lest our entire country be taken over by the starving Ryan budget and the real Hunger Games begin.

    Seriously, Mitt Romney? Seriously?

    This fantasy that the auto bailout was Romney’s idea is beyond lunacy in light of the intense criticism he leveled at the President just a couple of months ago when he said “the president tells us that without his intervention things in Detroit would be worse. I believe that without his intervention things there would be better.” In 2008, Romney said, “IF General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye,” and in 2012 he argued that “Obama should have let the free market work and allowed GM and Chrysler to go through a managed bankruptcy” which is what he now claims the President did with the bailout that is not remotely what a managed bankruptcy entails. A managed bankruptcy is more akin to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy that involves reorganization of a debtor’s business affairs and assets but it does not include a bailout by the government that Romney assailed as “crony capitalism on a grand scale.”

    One would think that Romney is a pathological liar and a charlatan whose sole purpose is the accrual of riches at any cost to anyone else, particularly to those who lost their jobs as a result of his unethical, uncaring and larcenous nature. This is who will be running for President of the United States on the "Grand Ol' Party" ticket. A loser among more losers who don't give a damn about this country.

    And we are all supposed to believe that this walking, talking, 24/7 lying machine (Mitt Romney) never lies to his WiFE??? Are you seriously KIDDING ME??????!!!! LOL.

    Yes, this man is superficial in the extreme, but in terms of what lies underneath the plastic veneer, we have not begun to dig deeply enough.

      Romney is a typical male Mormon - they are taught to lie in their cult from a very early age! The guy makes me want to throw up! He is the worst kind of fraud - much like Sarah Palin proved herself to be! Hopefully, the majority catch on to Mitt and don't vote for him in November!!!

      Yea, President Obama!!!!!!

      Romney is soooooo smarmy. He is a pathologically self-absorbed liar who will turn around, contradict himself and believe no one will notice. It's as if he is on a different wave length where Truth is not an option and lies are acceptable...just because. He is one dude who cannot be trusted at all.

    It should also be pointed out that a whole lot of the good people of the US of A cannot stand the fact that a black man is now the president of this country.So it doesn't matter what the facts are, they are going to respond to the dog whistles any time anything negative is put out there. The only weapon that sane, rational people have is to vote for the only sane rational candidate. Heaven help us if this country votes mitt into office this election.

    It's always a flip flop. He changes his convictions according to whom he's speaking to, he's lied so many times, I wouldn't believe the truth if it came from his lips.

    He's what we like to call "Socially Awkward", shallow, and a total bore.

    Today he bemoaned the demise of Oldsmobile, waxing poetic of how much he looooooooved him his Oldsmobile. Then he took credit for the auto rebound. Oldsmobile was merged with Buick twelve years ago because they became redundant in design.

    The media ALWAYS covers the stuff (negative) to get them ratings and it's growing very old!

    I think President Obama is doing a great job in spite of the obstruction he has met in Congress. I so hope he'll be reelected and am eager to vote for him! He deserves a second term!

    What has Mitt Romney done since he finished his one term as governor of Massachusetts? He certainly has not learned much about the makeup of the world around us; he does not seem to have done any deep thinking about policy matters because he sure has not announced any plans for anything since he began running for president in 2006. He is, to my thinking, not very intelligent and certainly not intellectually curious. He seems to think that, because he is rich, he deserves to be president.

    In addition, like most Republican politicians, he does not seem to understand that all of his public statements have been recorded and reported and are available to all and sundry. So Romney gets constantly caught up in his lies.

    Really he's rather a pathetic character but one I sure do not want to see in the White House.

    Oh, Gryphen, you and your inexplicable obsession with facts. What's up with that? Stop living in the past, man! Reality went out of fashion with the Y2K bug!

    If you're seriously intending to fire up a blog entry every time Mittens can't separate fact from fiction, you're gonna drive yourself - and your librul bolshevik blog buddies - insane. Who has that kind of time?? When would you sleep? Eat? Watch reruns of The Andy Griffith Show? (Goober Pyle, R.I.P.)

    Just stop it now! Here's a bulletin for you: Mittens wouldnt miss an opportunity to lie to your face if your life depended on it, buddy boy, and I'll bet you $10,000 I'm right!

    Not to defend that lying sack of shit, but seriously, he's right in a way when he says "Obama did everything wrong and everything is worse than when white people ran the country" because THAT'S what Rmoney supporters already believe and expect to hear. How do 'facts' even enter into the discussion? How is it Mittens' fault if he just gives the people what they want?

    Anyway, you've heard Willard speak. I mean seriously, would ANYONE vote for him if told the truth about anything?
