Pretty weak/desperate.
What you need Mitt is a bombshell. This is more like a cap gun going off.
Impotent and as old as cannon balls bouncing off the sides of ironclads.

"What you need Mitt is a bombshell. This is more like a cap gun going off. " I'm not a Romney fan at all but to say that it was nothing for Newt to take millions from Fannie and Freddie to hook them up with Conservative/Republicans politicians in order to block regulations on those two entities is absurd. And apparently, it worked!!! Now look where we are.

Both Romney and Newt is weak! Romney for being the wimpy liberal mildew toast that he is and Newt for being a weasel in lying about being a historian and “consulting” when it’s certainly lobbying that he was doing

Mitt's campaign people are on the record saying he's worth about $200 million. It is sheer chutzpah for someone with that kind of coin to suggest another man give back money earned legally.
And, given that much of Romey's stash was earned "right-sizing" companies (firing people), he's virtually demanding a class warfare tack be taken against himself.
Not smart. Not presidential.
GONG! Thank you for playing.

Mitt sounds.....like he’s grasping at straws. Is he willing to return all of the money that he made at Bain shutting down companies and throwing people out of work? I think likely not.

Talk about grasping at straws.
We are so lucky to see the inadequacy of Mittens before he occupied the Oval Office!

Weak and desperate?
I don’t think so. The fact that Romney said it has nothing to do with the truth of the statement.

Maybe romney the used car salesman should return all of the money to the companies that he gutted back in the 80’s through bain capital.

Yeh, that dog is not gonna hunt. Its perfectly legal to act as a private consultant to any business entity you like. Newt was not lobbying and I hope nobody buys into that bunk.

Romney should return all the bailout tainted money he’s received from Wallstreet. He’s topped Obama last time I checked. He’s the #1 recipient of Goldman Sachs $$$. I’m not a Newt defender but I can’t understand why Romney wants to open the money question. It isn’t just desperate its stupid given his super rich position. Just like his 10k bet with Perry. What in the hell was that?
What we are seeing is the Romney who has run for President for over a decade but who has avoided really running. The man who thinks he is so perfect for the job that he doesn’t even have to try to win us over and instead has to play us with a ‘preppy peer pressure’ move trying to put forth an ‘air of inevitability’.
When Newt Gingrich returns from the political dead and is kicking your ass as a follow on to getting your ass kicked by John McCain then you aren’t inevitable you are a ‘dead candidate walking’.

UPDATE: Gingrich addressed Romneys remark in a press availability this morning, saying, per Times Mark Halperin, that If Gov. Romney would like to give back all the money hes earned from bankrupting companies and laying off employees over his years at Bain, then I would be glad to then listen to him.
And I will bet you $10, not $10,000, that he wont take the offer, Gingrich added.
Awesome!

Hey, Mitt, I'll bet you $10,000 that Newt won't do it. Shake on it?
Hey, Mitt, I'll bet you $10,000 that this cheap ploy won't work any better than you attempt to portray yourself as an outsider and a non-politician. Shake on it?
LOL!!!!

National Review has become the equivalent of the mainstream media in its pimping of Romney. I can’t stand to read any of NR’s authors anymore. You can almost see the dollar signs floating in the air before their eyes from Romney’s bankroll.

Just shows Romney has the wrong first impulse. The response should have been, “that's water under the bridge, there should be no Fannie and Freddie to hire Newt for advice to begin with”. Romney is supposedly an expert at liquidating under performing organizations. The fact that he fails to see the root of the problem demonstrates that he is not the man for the job.

So basically, Romney is calling for money to be taken from the private sector and given to a government sponsored agency?
Nice.
