Mitt Romney: Obama worse than even I expected
The Washington Times ^ | 08/19/14 | S.A. Miller

Posted on 08/19/2014 3:33:52 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Mitt Romney said Tuesday that the problems inflicted by President Obama’s policies are even worse than he predicted during the 2012 presidential campaign.

“It’s been a good deal worse than even I expected,” Mr. Romney told reporters after headlining a rally here for Republican candidates for the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.

“I was not a big fan of the president’s policies, as you know, either domestically or internationally,” he said. “But the results of his mistakes and errors, in my opinion, have been more severe than even I would have predicted.”

The birth certificate isn’t an issue, unless you are among the conspiratorial birther crowd. Regarding Benghazi, he failed to respond to cries for help for an ambassador, when there had been actual shots fired and damaging the embassy, until finally, on the anniversary of 9/11, the embassy was attacked and the ambassador was given a pretty brutal torture to death, Obama made up the excuse that some guy from a ministry made some spontaneous provocation, which was total BS considering the previous attacks and threats on the embassy before the 9/11 attack.

Then there’s now, where U.S. assets are under attack in the Middle East by an Al Qaeda offshoot and all that Obama has right now is to, in a racist manner, talk about how Ferguson police are criminal for defending themselves, or any action being taken to try and control the riots, which hurt the dominantly poor and black parts of town.

This isn’t birther nonsense, which has been debunked with newspaper reports of Honolulu births showing Obama being born then and there, plus the birth certificate.

Nobody takes the birth certificate nonsense seriously at all. It’s a rediculous claim.

So that is his response to not campaigning in 2012?! He didn’t realize how bad Obama was? But if you give him another go, he’ll really try to win it this time?!

I don’t know who the bigger idiot is, Mitt or those who believe his garbage. Obama’s behavior didn’t just appear after the election in 2012. He’s been going on multiple vacations since he got into office. He’s been ignoring his job and usurping the other branches of govt. since he got there. He’s been using his position to go after American citizens who don’t agree with him. He’s been spending, spending, spending. He’s been saying and doing these things since the day he got into office.

So everything Obama did prior to 2013 was fine with Mitt? Does he think Obama got really really bad all of a sudden? Mitt had his chance, but he decided he didn’t have to lift a finger to take it. Well, we don’t have to take you either, Mitt.

This isn’t a case of creating world unity or peace, this is a case of some rich people just having fun while the other people get screwed.

“So Romney could not grasp what millions of Americans already knew, that Obama is an unmitigated disaster for the country and now he continues to act as if Obama’s actions are the product of incompetence rather than malice. Granted Romney was better than Obama but this mindset just goes to show that GOPer candidates are never going to effect real change. “

So here we are with this huge conundrum. The RATs will with a certainty, destroy this country. The GOPe spends more time trying to annihilate the Tea Party than in doing anything substantive to change the country's direction. A Third Party is wishful thinking because the “monied folks” will make sure that it's a continuing failure that assures that the RATs get re-elected, and the idiot Libertarians continue to run candidates that also assure RAT victories. I just don't see how things will change until there's a total collapse of our government/economy, and even then everyone will still be voting for the “free lunch” folks. I don't see any path to success today.

You don’t take the birth certificate situation seriously. Because the lying media and the GOP elites have decided the Constitution does not matter you’ve decided it doesn’t matter either. Hey, that’s your business.

But, “seriously,” I don’t have to take anyone who spells ridiculous the way you do, seriously.

“It’s been a good deal worse than even I expected,” Mr. Romney told reporters”

There is no excuse for Romney to be this uninformed. He
was uninformed on global warming and the open borders
issue also. Once again he’ll probably run again and be
given the nomination while being the only person who
could loose to Hillary just like he was the only one who
could loose to the Obama. They choose who is president
by controlling who is on the ballot.
There is not going to be a president elected who is
going to do:
1. close the border
2. get to the bottom of and expose the corrupt Obama regime.
3. get rid of Obamacare.
4. do anything to turn the continuing advancement of
communism in this country.
Romney is a northeastern moderate. He’s democrat lite.

Romney has developed an intuitive grasp of the obvious.

I can say that Obama has never surprised me.

Romney for Obama in 2011

“White House Quotes Romney in Defense of Health Care”



Mitt Romney Sends Leftover Pizza to Obama Chicago HQ
After spending the day in Chicago fundraising, Mitt Romney
sat down with small business owners at Gino's East,
a pizza joint famous for their deep-dish pizza.
In fact, Romney himself tweeted a photo of a
delivery boy heading out with the loot, writing,
"Great deep dish at @ginoseast.
Sending the extra slices to @barackobama and his Chicago HQ team."

What is it that Romney thinks is bad, and more importantly, why? It’s almost like a fellow could fashion a campaign around the things that would come from such an inquiry. Romney thinks Obama is a bad manager. He’s not wrong, but he’s like all Progressive Republicans: “Me too, just not quite so much!”

Advised by people stupider and weaker even than you

You’re kind of a disgrace Mitt

You’re rich....go enjoy it and STFU

were left enduring his victory you handed him because you have no balls and want to be loved by our enemies

So screw you...

I quit looking at the times because of all the forced commercial videos that are now on every page. It is possible to have tow or three message running at one time. Hope they and other sites get the message

Romney was, at least, an improvement on McCain.

I believe that in my lifetime the US will balkanize. Roughly half the people want a leftist controlled country and they are too dependent or too complicit to ever change. They grow in number and likely cannot be defeated electorally in the long run. Given that bleak assessment there are still millions of people who want to live in a free society. Eventually these two peoples will no longer be able to coexist under the same political system.

Bull!

McCain didn't support Abortion, Romney supported almost all forms of Abortion.

McCain didn't support Gay Adoption, Romney Did.

McCain didn't support Gays in the Boy Scouts, Romney did.

McCain didn't support Gay Marriage, Romney implemented, single-handedly, without the help of the legislature in Massachusetts.

“Eventually these two peoples will no longer be able to coexist under the same political system.”

Just look at the conflict we have right here in California. On a land area basis, California is Conservative. But the votes are in the Liberal bastions of SF and LA, so the other areas are disenfranchised and the initial moves to divide the state are starting, ditto for Colorado, and my guess is that there are other states in the same frame of mind. The problem will come in the “equitable division” of the real estate, because the Conservative areas of California have all the natural resources. The “city $hit” will not want to give up those areas without a fight. So your idea of “Balkanization” has a lot of merit. Sadly it may not be a peaceful process.
