Mitt opens his mouth, sticks both feet in and Democrats release a video. The DNC just released a video enveloping the U.S. and British coverage of Mitt Romney’s visit to London, called #RomneyShambles — the hashtag on twitter was trending — and it’s still going strong — after the awkward Republican candidate, uttered gaffe after gaffe. Another hashtag #AmericanBorat is a firestorm of hilarity.
President Obama owes Mitt Romney big time for this trip. The video was created in record time, proving that Mitt’s mouth is Obama’s best publicity.
Mitt arrives in Israel today. Gee I wonder what he will do to help Obama there?
I wonder if he's wearing his gigantic Star of David. That ought to impress the Israelis. Bet they've never been that up close and personal with such a paragon of everything before.

Russell Brand is pretty disgusting and skanky too, so most likely HE is the 'people' who want to fuck her.

ReplyDeleteYou don't have to have a sharp memory, to recall how only RECENTLY, he was behind in the polls to Herman "I loves me some white wimmins" Cain, Michele "Looney Tunes" Bachmann, Rick "Ayatollah Wannabe" Santorum, Newt "Emperor of the Moon" Gingrich, Rick "Oops" Perry, and even Donald Freaking Trump.

I'm told that you humans like to breath. I enjoy breathing very much. I think we have that in common, and that's a relief. - Mitt Romney

DeleteYet when people use Obama gaffes, they're called haters.
ReplyDeleteAnon 11:43
Delete'Haters' -- that's owned, used and abused by Baggers like you.
If I opened a Bagger dictionary -- it's one of very few words that would be contained in it. Ye of small-mindedness, minimal education -- and to put it truthfully -- you're Stunned & Stupid.
Go play in the other pond. You're not even a challenge here.
Here, let me educate you, oh stupid one...
DeleteMitt Robme is not making gaffes. The press can call it that, to soften the blow, but these are not gaffes.
He's not a very bright guy in the communications department when it comes to human beings.
He truly BELIEVES the things he says...then has to walk them back when he gets blowback from healthy thinking human beings. He is truly a pathetic man when it comes to interacting in any socially acceptable way.
Not to say he doesn't make a gaffe or two along the way, everyone does sooner or later, but like I said, these statements and flip flops are NOT gaffes, they're clear signals to how he thinks, and that ain't a pretty site to see.
I can forgive a gaffe for anyone, but I know the difference when I hear/see one.
Robme is not ready for prime time, not ready to represent a country, not ready to fulfill what it is to be a leader. He doesn't think much before he speaks, he lives in the 1950's in much of his mentality. Nope, not gaffes, but a frightening window into his mind.
President and President Elect and Senator Obama have all had gaffes in the long time under the national spotlight. But you can go back 20 years and listen to Barack Obama speak of his visions and beliefs and they are EXACTLY the same, consistently, and match what he has campaigned on throughout his professional and political life, and in fact MANY of them have become a reality since he has been president.
There is an enormous bubbling up of expressed racism in this country since a mixed race man became president and those that are part of that muck of hate resent that this man who is THEIR president is living where they don't think he deserves to because his skin in darker than theirs.
You are one of the haters, since you so conveniently pointed the finger at yourself with your comment.
Might be best for you to drink that cyanide now, since he's gonna be your prez for another 4 years!
Don't get mad at President Obama just because your weak-ass candidate is fucking up.
DeleteNot haters, just not funny. Obama's gaffes aren't nearly as stupid or frequent. Comedians would be starving together in a ditch if they had to rely on Obama's gaffes for material. Only the GOP finds anything peculiar about Obama's remarks, and even then they have to dig with shovels. Mitt and Sarah, on the other hand, entertain the entire world with their stupid comments.
Delete"Comedians would be starving together in a ditch if they had to rely on Obama's gaffes for material."
DeleteI often wonder how many comedians will be voting gop just to eat and keep a roof over their head in these trying times.
LOL. Only in America could a democratic who uses a republicans gaffes be considered a good candidate anda republican who uses a democrats gaffes be called racist.
ReplyDeleteLOL Only in America can dumbasses make idiotic comparisons between a Democratic candidate who uses a Republican's gaffes to his advantage and a Republican candidate who resorts to INVENTING "gaffes" by editing footage to make the other guy appear to be saying something he actually didn't say.
DeleteI could repeat my response to 11:43 as you're the same maggot Bagger.
DeleteWhy do I know you're a Bagger -- the fact (FACT - not a word in your Bagger Dictionary) -- Your first line "a 'DEMOCRATIC' who uses". Really??
Your peepond sent out an Amber Alert looking for you. Run along now.
Truth hurts.
DeleteI know we are always nagging at you guys for your misuse of the word Democratic and Democrat. So you were either confused and trying your best or- and more likely- you got it wrong AGAIN!
DeleteIf you considered the nature of the remarks, you'd know the difference, my friend!
DeleteSome compliment-- they say that Romney is dumber than Sarah Palin. But he looks nicer.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that the Obama campaign was classy enough to not use the more outrageous newspaper headlines in the video (ie. "Mitt the Twit"). They kept it professional.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that we didn't have anything to worry about in Israel, since Mitt is buds with Bibi, however, after reading the Wonkette article cited above, I guess we do need to be on the alert. Maybe he should use Seamus's muzzle?
Kudos also to the classy Brits that did not let #RomneyShambles spill over into scorn of the US official delegation (including Michele Obama) and the US athletes. Mitt was the perfect target and the Brits gave him everything he deserved while being courteous to their other guests.
DeleteCan this get any worse for Romney? Boris is now mocking him in front of 60,000 people in Hyde Park #romneyshambles
ReplyDeleteThe Mitt Romney Summer 2012 World Tour to Three Countries is apparently having trouble moving tickets.
The London blogger Guido Fawkes reports that organizers of a Romney fundraising reception in the city this evening have slashed the original $2,500 ticket price to $1,000 for "a few last minute guests," in an effort to drum up participation.

and now he's freaking out at being ripped in the foreign press, instead of the pandering US press and FOX, and is fucking up BIGTIME in Israel. What a scaredy cat, little bully twit. Now he's violating an agreement with the press and they will not let him off easily. Idiot.
Romney Shuts Press Out Of Jerusalem Fundraiser
The Romney campaign has decided that a fundraiser to be held at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem Monday morning will be closed to the press, reports the Washington Post. The decision violates an agreement between the media and the campaign that some press coverage will be allowed at all fundraisers held in public spaces including hotels.
From the Post:
Under the agreement, a pool of wire, print and television reporters can cover every Romney fundraiser held in public venues, including hotels and country clubs. The campaign does not allow media coverage of fundraisers held in private residences.
Campaign spokesman Rick Gorka declined to explain the campaign’s decision to violate protocol with the Jerusalem event. Pressed repeatedly by reporters to offer an explanation, Gorka said only that the fundraiser was “closed press.”

Sadly, the media IS covering for him. Did you watch the opening ceremonies? Costas practically gave him a rim job by saying -- I kid you not -- clearly he went in there and saved the Games -- and they did him an even bigger favor by covering for him by talking about the fact that "people are talking about whether London is ready..."
DeleteNo, no one was talking about that. Everyone was talking about how Romney is stupid and how Voldemort was supposed to fight Mary Poppins.
As Mitt is heading to England, Republicans are saying that it's important that Europeans have a good impression of the United States.
ReplyDelete36 hours later, the same Republicans are saying "It doesn't matter what Europe thinks of us!"
How can anybody take those people seriously?
Mitt and the Republicans are like a couple who stay together only because they can't sell the house.

"Mitt and the Republicans are like a couple who stay together only because they can't sell the house."
DeleteTom - that's such a great line, I had to quote it so it appears here twice.
The hilarity never ends. You would think the Romney campaign would avoid any phrase that casts a mechanical theme since Romney is clearly a robot. But, oh no, the campaign advisers are still stepping in it themselves. This from the NY Times:
ReplyDelete"...Mr. Romney had misspoken because he was tired and jet-lagged. “Even the Energizer Bunny needs new batteries once in a while,” said an adviser, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a delicate topic."

With an Etch-A-Sketch, a few good shakes and you're good to reactivate!
DeleteChickenShit Romney banned media from his fundraiser in Israel.
ReplyDeleteOh I am sure Mitt wanted a cheeseburger and a bacon wrapped filet mignon.
ReplyDeleteDidn't he screw up in Poland too, something about a missile treaty? What the Poles and Czech's wanted we gave them. They don't want what Rmoney is proposing saying it was so 2 or 3 years ago.
ReplyDeleteHe did this while still in this country. And no, the Czech did not want the bs he was trying to sell them.
DeleteI'm loving it!
ReplyDeleteSomeone with Obama's superpak needs to get an ad going showing Palin's resume to date, then remind people how McCain still chose her over Robme. I can't think of a more stark reminder of what the GOP offers. Not to mention a 2fer, and a total hoot.
ReplyDeleteYou're exactly right!
Delete“I love Michelle”
ReplyDeletehttp://theobamadiary.com/2012/07/28/i-love-michelle/
i can't stop chuckling!
ReplyDeleteYou just go right ahead and mock Mittens, Gryphen, even tho it's obvious you don't really know him personally all that well.
ReplyDeleteSure, he may be stumbling across the globe "with both feet in his mouth" today, but I promise you, this is a man who just gets better and better and better over time. He's always learning from his mistakes. Maybe not at first, but eventually, after gaffe upon gaffe upon gaffe upon gaffe, he learns. And that's a LOT more importanter than being perfect out of the box.
According to my calculations, at Mittens' current impressive trajectory towards perfection, I predict he will stop appearing to most people to be a total douchebag very early in the first or second quarter of 2034. (There's some uncertainty in my model, after all, I'm no Nate Silver)
I'll even bet you a shiny new Harold Stassen commemorative forty cent piece that by 2022 you'll rarely see a headline anymore referring to Mittens' embarrassing gaffes of one form or another.
So, lay off Mittens, Gryphen! He's been running for president unsuccessfully long enough to have finally earned some grudging respect even from people who find him to be a wealthy twit, a socially awkward flip-flopper, a man of limitless ambition and very limited ability and a source of international humiliation.
I assume your modeled trajectory includes the probable gaffes in Poland meeting labor unionists and all.
DeleteOne word describes Mittens: Obtuse.
ReplyDeleteWell, i guess you could add 'very' as an adverb which would make it two words...
Love the comments! You all have him so beuatifully pegged!
ReplyDeleteMitt’s insults, mistakes, and blunders abroad aren’t gaffes. They actually represent his true worldview.

I believe that Mitt is running for the presidency because he has been told to do so by the bishops in the Mormon Church.
ReplyDeleteThey have been trying to get a Mormon in the WH for years.
The gaffes are in the eye of the beholder. What is considered huge gaffes by Romney are nothing to those of obama. However, since the mass meda wants their man to win, they overlook that. Americans are getting smarter very fast. They know that it is the economy this election, and obama's economy is "out of control" horrible!
