Mitt Romney, proving himself ready to say all that the Republican ticket might count on him to say about the Democratic opposition, calls Barack Obama "an Internet date.''
But Romney does not say he's ready to join John McCain on the GOP's presidential ticket. He coyly suggests he won't be on it. (Which is precisely what a potential running mate should be saying.)
Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts who ran as McCain's own rival in the Republican presidential primaries, had some tough words for Obama, the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee, on the air this morning. Appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Romney had this to say about the McCain campaign "Web ad'' likening Obama to Moses and the McCain campaign TV ad likening Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton:
"Being compared to Moses could hardly be considered a negative attack... I love the fact that John McCain is using humor, and he's pointing out something which people just haven't been saying, which is that Barack Obama is a well spoken, attractive man. But he's like an Internet date. We didn't know who he was. And now we're getting to know who he is... And we say gosh, this guy just doesn't have the judgment and experience, as Hillary Clinton used to say, to be president of the United States...
"I frankly think Barack Obama has been a media event in some respects,'' Romney suggested. "There really has not been an inspection of what he stands for and what he'd do for the country.'' And McCain's Spears-Hilton ad "really points out that he is a celebrity and a phenomenon, but not a leader.''
He also had this to say about Obama's openess, perhaps, to some off-shore oil drilling as part of a broader energy bill: On oil drilling. "I think it's both-ways Barack... He wanted to have it both ways.''
(Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic candidate for vice president in 2000 and now a "Democrat for McCain,'' though he holds his seat in the Senate as an independent, had this to say about that Messianic Web-ad of McCain's featuring Charlton Heston as Moses. "In my book, that's about as good a comparison as you could ask for,'' Lieberman said on Morning Joe. "I should say, in THE book, it's about as good a comparison as you could ask for.''
So is Romney ready to take that talk to the campaign trail?
"I expect to be campaigning for the ticket. I do not expect to be a member of the ticket. John McCain has a lot of people to choose from,'' said Romney, adding: "I think the people of America select a president. They don't care so much who the vice president is.''
Romney also suggested that McCain may be holding off on that announcement: "He may be tempted to wait until after Barack Obama makes his choice... last up, best dressed.
"He's keeping his own company on that.''
So, is that like saying Obama is just another “classy, green-eyed blonde” or whatever the problem was with that person?
Does anyone have a video of Uh Uh Uh Obama bowling a 37?
“and an earpiece for coaching.”
Clever ecm can fix that. Imagine waiting for your prompt and getting loud Ludacris in your left ear?
Anyone up to the challenge?
I’m not even convinced he can unite his own party. I have some Democrat union member relatives that have grave concerns about him. McCain looks reasoned to them. LOL
Thanks for the link. That was pathetic. My cats can bowl better than a 37.
Glad you enjoyed it. ;)
That's just evil.
And so appropriate.
Yes. Heh heh.
Even just a scanner and a talk radio host would be enough without active measures, but active measures would be interesting.
“I expect to be campaigning for the ticket. I do not expect to be a member of the ticket. John McCain has a lot of people to choose from,’’ said Romney, adding: “I think the people of America select a president. They don’t care so much who the vice president is.’’

That is a great line—Mitts got a great deal to help the party and put McCain in the White House. He can point out what needs to be said. VP or not—hes a good fellow to have on our side. Lets see if his Conservative conversion is a jail house conversion or the real McCoy, time will tell. Unlike some, I will give Mitt the benefit of a doubt.
ROTFL---priceless. N-i-c-e work Mitt.
Lessee---what would Obama use for his screen name?
