NBC anchor Brian Williams reprimanded Ann Romney for saying I believe in my heart that Mitt is going to save America, suggesting it would have been incendiary if Michelle Obama had made such a promise.
As the two sat in the NBC News booth at the Republican convention, Williams told Mrs. Romney the phrasing jumped off the screen to me and maintained, without identifying the supposed source, that someone who knows you conceded that if Mrs. Obama used words like that...thered be all kinds of hubbub.
He demanded: What do you mean? Those are powerful words.

From the Wednesday, August 29 NBC Nightly News:
BRIAN WILLIAMS: Last night, as you wrapped up, you said this man will lift up America. In an interview you did with Natalie Morales for my other broadcast, Rock Center, you used different language: I believe in my heart that Mitt is going to save America. And that jumped off the screen to me. Someone who knows you conceded that if Mrs. Obama used words like that Barack was going to save America thered be all kinds of hubbub. What do you mean? Those are powerful words.
ANN ROMNEY: I think what it means, it comes right down to why we decided to get in the race. When I was deciding and Mitt was deciding, Mitt was reluctant. I said, I need to know one thing, is it too late basically to do the things, to fix the things for the direction this country is headed in? He said, no, its getting late but not too late yet. I dont know if you can see that debt clock back there, but we are fast approaching a place where if we dont make some dramatic changes, then we are going to be on the road to a Greece, a Spain, an Italy. Spain right now has 25 percent unemployment. If we continue to do what were doing, we are going to pass burdens onto our children, debt burdens that are going to be overwhelming to them, that will really cripple their lives.
So yes, its a sense of its time now to save what we now have as America. If we dont do these tough things and turn this economy around and have a job creation that will explode and bring, you know, this economic vitality back to this nation, were headed on the same path that Europe is.
What if Obama said, about himself (and his followers):"...I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal;..."
But no 'hubbub' from you Brian.
Yes. Mr. Williams clearly believes that, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”.

I clearly remember Brian Williams interviewing obama 3 years ago amidst a lovely set of Greek columns.
It went something like this: You said “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for” and “the sea levels will cease to rise.” Those are some mighty strange words spoken by a presidential hopeful. Some have even said they are blasphemous. What did you mean by those words?
/sarc
Never happened - never will. Instead they promoted the obama-is-the-one nonsense as all the leftist rags published endless puff pieces and pictures with “halos” surrounding his head.
She should have asked who that "someone" was
“So, just what is it that you propose that offers a better choice at this juncture? Hmmmm?
I have a choice to make, all be it no the choices I want, but still a choice to make. It shows you have made your choice NEWB to champion for Obama. We get it, now go back to your own corner of the ring and get ready for the bell because we who want to see Obama retired to save America are going to come out swinging to knock you and your butt-boy out!
To think we cannot see past your agenda is laughable in that you ONLY attack Romney and never OFFER A SOLUTION as to how we rid ourselves of this public cancer called the Obama administration. It is all the same with you dweebs. The same wording, the same paragraph structure, by, bye loser.”

Why the constant insult about being new to FR? You don’t
value new people to the forum. I thought FR was conservative, a refuge.
Pray, offer an Our Father for an “election miracle.” God can act, the nation has the choice right now between two pro-abort, pro-sodomite candidates. There is no need to discuss Obama, it’s Romney who pretends to be good. He needs God’s grace, Mormonism is not Christian.
If the “election miracle” doesn’t take place, write in a
Godly man for President. It’s your soul, you cooperate
when you vote for any legislator, a President, Governor,
Representative who is pro-abortion.
If only Romney had once shown he was for life. You are
going on his word alone at present. He fools you again, how many times has he flip flopped? He hasn’t changed. Mitt is being called today on his choice for the evil exceptions to murdering a child in the womb. He doesn’t care. Seeee....
Pray for his conversion.
AR gave a great response!
How did the brainless Williams respond to Ann?
Brian (brain-dead) Williams; i guess when your bowed to fuhrer stated he would ‘heal the planet and the seas would begin to recede’ that was AOK? FUBW and your leader.
Ann Romney's support for Planned parenthood took care of some of those "special needs" babies.
The Romney's support for health of the mother abortions, should take care of many more.
Huh? You seem to have thrown a bolt, arasina!
Well, I certainly pray he will save America!!!! It’s going to hell fast with Comrade Barrack Houssain bin O’bummer !!!
