Maybe he should stick to horse dressage.

Mitt has all the answers. But sometimes he leaves them on the bus.

His handlers didn't tell him which way to tilt the Etch-a-Sketch.

Maybe just maybe he takes the issue seriously enough and his responsibility as a candidate seriously enough to not give a sound-bite answer to a political trap question which would create a virtual maelstrom on tha twittah.

Mitt Romney in an interview aired Sunday repeatedly refused to say that he would overturn President Barack Obama's new policy allowing some young illegal immigrants to stay in the United States. He claimed Obama's decision was political, while senior White House adviser David Plouffe said the move wasn't motivated by politics.

The Republican presidential candidate was asked several times in an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation" whether he would overturn the executive order issued Friday if he's elected in the fall. He refused to directly answer.



"It would be overtaken by events," Romney said when pressed for the second time by moderator Bob Schieffer during the interview taped Saturday while the former Massachusetts governor's bus tour stopped in Pennsylvania.

He explained the order would become irrelevant "by virtue of my putting in place a long-term solution, with legislation which creates law that relates to these individuals such that they know what their setting is going to be, not just for the term of a president but on a permanent basis."

Sounds like a thoughtful and wise approach to answering shank Schieffer's question!

Sounds like he's spinning around in a daze.

Notice that he didn't detail his "thoughtful" long-term solution. Maybe he has to first ask Rubio.

So he only responds to questions? What a leader!

 

[Ravi]

btw, Val, if you're trying to link to Mitten's views on immigration, I read them and they don't address the problem that Obama has addressed.

 

[Avorysuds]

Mitt’s team is waiting for the public to be polled on the issue and see what direction seems to have the most support before coming out for or against this. Also Mitt’s team is currently presenting different speeches to rooms full of people see what they think and get feedback.

Mitt will get his answer and present it to us when his team is done making it.

Shank asked a black and white/yes or no set-up question toward a complex issue because he is a shameless HACK with an agenda...

Romney criticized Obama's actions. It is a fair question to ask him if he would reverse them if elected.

Perhaps Mittens doesn't realize that this is the sort of decision making responsibility that comes with the job.

 

[Political Junky]

Or Mitt could be playing it vague while making overtures to the far right. As the election approaches, he'll go moderate.

 

[Katzndogz]

The only one in a daze is obama after he just got bitch slapped.

 

[Dot Com]

Mittens is scared of alienating the Repub base, ABO voters

Mitt answered shank's question but apparently no one has much interest in understanding what was said...

He explained the order would become irrelevant "by virtue of my putting in place a long-term solution, with legislation which creates law that relates to these individuals such that they know what their setting is going to be, not just for the term of a president but on a permanent basis."

It might be if anyone knew what that long term solution would be. Somehow I doubt that Romney will ever tell us.

Remember that I am voting against Obama not for Rommney. Fire everyone in Washington, politicians, government works the lot and start over. We can't possibly to worse.

Again, what is his long term solution? His website merely says he will allow highly educated immigrants from other countries....what does that have to do with the children Obama has addressed?

Nothing.

Even the Republicans are waiting for his answer.
