Romney flip-flops on charges against Obama
CBS News ^ | 7/1/11 | Corbett B. Daly

Posted on 07/01/2011 11:47:22 AM PDT by Kartographer

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney on Thursday backtracked on a central theme of his presidential campaign: that President Obama has made a struggling U.S. economy even worse.

"I didn't say that things are worse," Romney said at a press conference in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

I didn’t there could be a stupider statement by a GOP politician than McCain’s “yo don’t have to be afraid of an Obama presidency”.

It looks like I was wrong.

Of coure the genisus at CBS will soon report on all he “mistatements” and other assorted things that turned out not to be true that were said by Obama. /s

Really, I don’t know how they can look themselves in the mirror. Journalist is just another name for cockroach.

The stimulus created 500,000 government jobs, but eliminated 1,000,000 private sector jobs. That’s a net loss of half a million jobs.

1 Trillion dollars poorer
Eliminated half a million jobs

I believe that qualifies as making things worse.

The is plenty of evidence to suggest that the government’s unemployment numbers are off significantly.

The only "positive" I've seen from Rombo is his campaign's bumps-in-the-road commercial.
OK, thanks Mitt - just get out of the way now please.

Let’s not insult our law-abiding, patriotic, God-fearing cockroaches by comparing them to a fifth-column, lying, leftist, media clymer “journalist,” who can more appropriately be compared to only-good-for-stomping-on-cockroach droppings.

The John F’n Kerry, flip-flopper, @$$ kisser of the GOP.

See ya Mittens!

I want a champion. Someone who’ll take the fight to the enemy, and never surrender. The fight, THIS FIGHT, is just too damn important.

You can carry the chamber pot, Mitt.

Perhaps Mitch was just speaking for himself and family. If so, he is not on the same bandwagon as most people are on. Leave out government employees, union members, and government supported.

Why in the world say this?

Does he really believe Obama has made things better? I sure don’t!

And I think I stand with a lot of Americans who think Obama HAS done worse. Frankly, I use the words “utter failure” to describe the economic policies of this administration.

It’s not anti-American or politically incorrect to state the truth, Mitt! Why are you even running if you think Obama’s done a good job?

Once again, folks, I just cannot understand how a Republican Presidential candidate can say such a think about his democrat opponent. Why even bother to run and waste your own money?

Quick, someone let Chris Wallace know we found a flake!

What a bleepin’ idiot. Of course, they are worse! How much did Obama spend on a failed stimulus? How much has unemployment went up? How much has the deficit increases?

GO AWAY MITT!

Mitty is well on his way to taking himself out like Newtie has ...

“The stimulus created 500,000 government jobs...”

You mean created or “saved” 500,000 government jobs!

Actually they “saved” the jobs of govt employee now being laid off 2 years later......

Watching Romney and watching the polls that show him ahead everywhere is liking watching a mile race with the stupid kid way out in front who sprinted the first lap. Yes, HE IS WINNING, but no he will not be the winner. He is politically tone deaf and despite all his advantages, unless the conservatives really muck it up and kill each other (which is always a possibility) he will crash and burn.

Romney is an unrepentant abortionist/statist lying political whore! Just to be absolutely clear, there will never ever be a RINO Romney campaign on FR!! If he somehow becomes the nominee, FR will be running a full-time campaign to DEFEAT him!! If you wish to support him then I suggest you sign off FR and onto Wankers for Mitt!! … Jim Thompson

Don’t be surprised if Romney makes the statement that Obama would be a good president, like some other RINO once said.

Romney is Obama's second term dream opposition candidate. Jon Huntsman, Jr. likely his VP choice if the GOP and RNC have their say-so.

All he did was supply the media with a propaganda windfall, a chance to sell their pro Obama selling points with Romney nodding his head apologetically, as though there was nothing to substantially, or honestly, attack Obama with after all.
