Oops, President Obama Decries Economic Policies of ‘George Romney’
ABC News ^ | Jun 5, 2012 1:42am | Mary Bruce

Criticizing his opponents’ economic policies at a New York fundraiser, President Obama made an interesting slip of the tongue tonight, identifying the GOP nominee as “George Romney.”

The enthusiastic crowd at the Broadway fundraiser reacted with giggles, and a few cheers, as the president regained his composure.

“Governor Romney … has had great success in his life and he’s raised a beautiful family,” the president ultimately said, correcting himself. “But he has a theory about the economy that basically says, if I’m maximizing returns for my investors, for wealthy individuals like myself, then everybody’s going to be better off.”

The president often argues Mitt Romney would lead the country back to the “failed policies” of his predecessor, George W. Bush, and tonight was no different.

“After all that work that we’ve done, the last thing we’re going to do is to go back to the very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place,” Obama told the packed house at the New Amsterdam Theater. ”We’re not going backwards. We’re not going backwards, New York! We intend to go forwards!”

When it comes to the struggling economy, the president admitted “folks are still hurting, and this has been a long slog for people,” but argued his policies are beginning to “right the ship.”

Whether voters get that message, however, is another story. …

Freudian slip that proves everything Obama is blamed for is really the fault of W. It’s been the standard phrase for 3.5 years and won’t end until this o’bastard is run out of office.

Shocking abandonment by ABC News to even report this!

The vetting is becoming so blistering when it appears here and there, they will have some work to do in order to ever walk it back, cover it up, or in any way fix it.

Bob Strum. That one makes me nervous. He is always FOR democrats who go on to LOSE. But now even he thinks Obama judged on his record alone, will LOSE.

Does that mean the odds are that Strum who has always brought on the opposite of what he purports, will again bring on the opposite. This would mean Obama will win. LOL! Heebie, jeebies anyone?

I smell fear, related to the ineligibility issue. We’ve recently had media addressing the possibility of George Romney not being eligible when he ran for the Republican nomination. Sheriff Joe’s posse is closing in on the fraudulent commie int he White House, and pressure is probably rising from deep inside and from the pockets of democrap party power brokers to dump the fraudulent creep because using him to end the Republic hasn’t worked out the way they planned it when they placed this affirmative action fraud on the ballots. Because of his birth in a Colon, Panama hospital it is questionable that Juan McInsane was Constitutionally eligible, aslo. All that the fraudulent thugocracy has left is to creat as much confusion as they can, to divert fromt he truth that little barry bastard commie is not Constitutionally eligible for the job he was promoted to via democrap affirmative action racism.

Economic Policies of ‘George Romney’...

I'm not buying this notion of mixing up the dad with the son.

Seems MUCH more likely, he was just discussing what his policies need to be with another George, and just got a bit mixed up during his speech. And George Soros knows just what I'm talking about.

Obama’s not running against your father’s GOP - he just *thinks* he is.

I have followed The Ulsterman Report interviews with the WHI, for fun, but now I take the Insider more seriously. The chaos, in-fighting, obsessions and nefarious connections reported by the “Insider” are now making their way into the mainstream media, for one reason. With the help of Democrats.

Some Democrats are said to be actively working against Obama, actually having found themselves fearing his second term. They are said to be keeping up appearances for the sake of continuing access to Obama, to the Obama circle, and to the WH staff and other players.

The Insider is a Democrat you know (if he exists) and is friends with the Wall Street Insider (WSI) who is also causing large cogs in the Obama wheels. They both rather fear for their life and name Leo Gerard (international unization guru) as the money bags behind Obama.

The birth issue is but one of many more interesting intrigues Obama is said to be tied to in the way of people, places and things, but the birther issue is not dismissed by the Insider. A fun read, as an ongoing serial of stories
where one by itself is just a stop on the journey and not enough really to get the scope of the entire plot.

He knows things that no one else does... like we really have 57 States, his hiding “his muslim religion”, buy “thingamajigs” to save our economy and George Bush and mitt romney are one in the same. Who knew!
