"You remember that during the Ronald Reagan-Jimmy Carter debates, that Ronald Reagan came up with this great thing about the Misery Index? And he hung that around Jimmy Carter's neck and that had a lot to do with Jimmy Carter losing," Romney told the crowd at the Americans for Prosperity summit.
"Well we're going to have to hang the Obama Misery Index around his neck. And I'll tell you, the fact that you've got people in this country really squeezed with gasoline getting so expensive, with commodities getting so expensive, families are having a hard time making ends meet We're going to hang him with that -- uh, so to speak, metaphorically, with, uh, you have to be careful these days, I learned that -- with an Obama Misery Index."
I do believe he saw people trying to make it a racist comment so he assured he wanted people to know how he meant it.
The libbies look ridiculous trying to pretend that what Romney said was racist.
If they were honest (instead of being the ALWAYS partisan hacks so many of them tend to be), they wouldn't have even blinked at what Romney ACTUALLY said.
I'm not a supporter of Romney. But to try to smear him with this bullshit will only serve to make these partisan hack liberals look even less honest. No easy task.
