WASHINGTON - The White House says President Barack Obama wasn't talking about Republican Mitt Romney when the president said he "wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth."

White House press secretary Jay Carney says Obama has used the phrase many times to describe his background. Carney says anyone who thinks it might be a reference to them might "be a little over-sensitive."

Perhaps he had the Kennedy clan in mind....or the Rockefellers. The Heinz-Kerry heiress? Hard to say who he could have been thinking of.

Just like their Nazi Socialist predecessors, they lie with the belief that everyone is stupid or will show deference to der Fuehrer.

FUBO & FAD

BO’s lameass campaign probably finally figured out Romney made his money without inheriting his wealthy father’s largesse. In other words, he EARNED it.

People earning money makes Obama mad. So now he has to backtrack.

"...president said he "wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth..."

He wasn't born with much of a conscience either.

Pot meet kettle. This WH wrote the manual on being over-sensitive.

15 trillion taxpaying victims of the U.S., aren’t paying one ounce of attention to anything the Undocumented one says. He’s lost, by the Federal Bloc consolidating around their Mitt-Mandate-Man, ready for the Big Take.

My first reaction if Obama said “I don’t know what’s it’s like to be born with a silver spoon in my mouth” would be........
“What kind of spoon were you born with in your mouth?” “I know how I paid to go to BYU and Harvard, what no one knows is how you could afford to attend Occidental, Columbia and Harvard”.

Exactly, the hypocrisy with Obama is non-stop.

OK, he wasn’t born rich, but he’s gotten an affirmative-action free ride ever since, while being generously supported by his mentors, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.

And he STILL gets a free ride in the media, despite his extensive record of incompetence!!

Will the media give Romney a free ride like they do Obama??

I really don’t care if he has a silver spoon in his mouth, up his nose or his arse. What really Ps me off is, “somebody gave me my education”. He is an effin ...!

I worked my butt off for my education a-hole. Worked Christmas and every other holiday relief for people on vacation anytime I could. Spring break was for job hunting and work if I could find it. Summer was spent taking every opportunity I could to earn a little more money and on top of that I and others worked nearly 40 hours a week at night and on weekends all through the school year. I threw hay from the first cut until the last every time I could because the filler money was TAX FREE and worth the time.

I finished 132 hours in 8 regular and one summer semester like most others did in engineering. We got out of school with no debt and went to work.

This cretin is a bonafide prick poverty pimp freeloader.

Now he comes after what I and others have worked for all our lives.

I hate his freakin’ guts.

Yeah, he is a regular guy. Born in hawaii, educated at the best private schools, never had to work and ivy league educated. Yeah Obama is like the rest of the blue collar crowd. Crap at least Mitt worked for his. We have no idea where Obamas silver spoon came from...

Of course he wasn't - that's not where Romney's silver spoon is.
