Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was Jay Leno’s guest on the Tonight Show Friday, and he didn’t have kind things to say about the current White House resident or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

At one point in their discussion, Romney said, “I’m not a fan of the president—in case you didn’t know that.” …

The actual interview had Romney doing a bit of doubletalk:
Well, you know, following the tragedy in Boston with the bombing there, he came and spoke. I thought he spoke eloquently, and well. I also think he cares about education, and hope he’s able to make further progress in the world of education. But I’m not a fan of the president—in case you didn't know that. … But look, I believe he cares for the country and wants to make America a better place for the American people. …
You are a big fan, Mr. Willard Mitt Romney. The throwaway comment in the midst of all the praise means nothing.

Romney never fought for the Presidency. The one time he actually was confrontational, in the first debate, he actually gained some support in the polls. Just like McCain, Romney was a sacrificial lamb put up by our elites to lose to Obama.

It’s simple, really.

He isn’t a fan, but he can’t bring himself to believe that Obama is BAD.

Obama is just a little misguided, a little inept.

I hope you weren’t laboring under the misimpression that Romney is alone in this. He is joined by many, many others of like mind.

You think he can’t mean what he says about not being a fan. He can mean it and does mean it. But at the exact same time, he doesn’t see Obama as deliberately harming the country and our people.

He doesn’t see it because he’s incapable of seeing it. Doesn’t want to see it. Is of a mindset and a generation and a class of citizenry that simply does not have that ability in their DNA.

One McCain was enough. What is it about the GOP that caused them to repeat such an egregious mistake?

Romney protected his Obama and Soros by attacking Gov. Palin
in 2008 and EVERY conservative in 2010.

Romney protected his Obama re: BC and everything else.

Mr. RomneyCARE, author of BOTH gay marriage and
ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE has created hell on Earth in America.

“Look, ...I think Obama is what you get when you start with a piece of crap; paint it black, and worship it.”

What Romney should have said.

He lost me when he said Obama cares per se for anything.

What is it you say? When are logically thinking people going to see that 1+1=1? They are all part of the same game, just like the Gators vs. the Bulldogs. They just beat the crap out of each other while laughing all the way to the bank. I think they call them megalomaniacs.

The R vs. D charade is to keep the serfs occupied with picking which side of the stadium is in the shade as opposed to in the sunlight.

Just where in the heck does he think all this corruption is coming from? He might be a smart business man, but his lack of common sense and discernment is seriously lacking. It seems that many RINOs truly are this clueless about the goals of this administration. Its apparent he doesn’t understand that this liar-in-chief doesn’t care one bit for Americans or America.

Wish he’d take some of those millions/billions and buy himself a clue.

We must organize above these elites and bring Liberty back to those who cherish and appreciate it.

At least Romney’s not. McCain says he’s an honorable man.

I think you sat in a hut in the the heat a little too long in Vietnam. It obviously fried your brain. Lately you’ve really been proving it.
