The NH Union Leader and Mitt scrubs Mitts “peacetime” gaffe
In a Apr 25th 2011 Op-Ed – NH Union Leader Mitt stated that:
Barack Obama is facing a financial emergency on a grander scale. Yet his approach has been to engage in one of the biggest peacetime spending binges in American history. With its failed stimulus package, its grandiose new social programs, its fervor for more taxes and government regulations, and its hostility toward business, the admin-istration has made the debt problem worse, hindered economic recovery and needlessly cost American workers countless jobs.
That op-ed is longer available on the Union leader's webpage and further more Mitt’s facebook post on the subject has also been “cleaned”. On the facebook post it now reads like this:
Barack Obama is facing a financial emergency on a grander scale. Yet his approach has been to engage in one of the biggest spending binges since WWII. With its failed stimulus package, its grandiose new social programs, its fervor for more taxes and government regulations, and its hostility toward business, the administration has made the debt problem worse, hindered economic recovery and needlessly cost American workers countless jobs.h/t Pete Petretich
The use of the word "peacetime". Obviously, Romney and his handlers have a big enough problem with this faux pas that they are attempting to scrub it away.
“We are in three wars Iraq, afgan, Libya. We are not at peace. To say we are at peacetime is to totally forget about the wars. Adn a disrespect for those fighting in those foreign lands and dying.”
Agree...I read over the “peacetime” part and just saw he said it was one of the biggest binges in US history...which, of course, is true.
it was the “peacetime” thing that was a gaffe and which he scrubbed . his comment other than that i agree is pretty straight forward correct.
“it was the “peacetime” thing that was a gaffe and which he scrubbed . his comment other than that i agree is pretty straight forward correct.”
Agree. Thanks.
If Mitt Romney becomes the Pubbie candidate, I will vote 3rd party. No matter how much I hate O, I can’t vote for this POS...
Ditto. Mitt is unacceptable at all levels.
Thanks unseen1.
It’s the Obamacare, not the Romneycare, of which we need to rid ourselves.
