OK, GG, you get one, and only one, thread for all your observations.

Apparently the President is not up to date on some of Romney's last known positions on some issues.

How great a twist is it that a guy thinks his flip flops on the issues represent an opportunity for him to catch his opponent misrepresenting his position?

 

[NYcarbineer]

So Romney's latest position is that tax cuts for the so-called Job Creators are NOT a good idea???

lol

Romney objected to the $716 billion medicare cut. And he told Obama that his strawman that prescription drugs cuts doesn't account for that cut. One dollar in savings doesn't equal fifteen bucks in cuts. And you should've saw Obama hand his head like, 'ya got me partner.'

Romney also mentioned that Obama's across the board cuts have made it so fifteen percent of hospitals are not accepting new medicare patients.

How does one "hand his head"?

"You'll never balance the budget by raising taxes."

Clinton raised taxes, cut spending. And balanced the budget. Bush cut taxes, spent like a drunken sailor, and was the primary driver of the largest economic debacle since the Great Depression.

And Romney wants to repeat the mistakes of Bush.

Before Romney could even say a word__ Obama had the first gaffe; stating the next year Michelle and he would not be celebrating their anniversary in front of 40 million people.

You got that right Obama. We look forward to you being an afterthought a year from now.

I have never saw a camera in the White House bedroom.

You get to tell me how my ass tastes. I have no problem creating individual threads for the various issues. That's how you focus on a specific subject.

He meant that he wouldn't be in a debate. They'd be having date night in New York City and fly in on Air Force One.

I have no doubt that Obama is looking forward to burning more of our money for his own personal whims.

Im pretty sure he meant he wouldnt be in a debate...

But yeah I was thinking that too

 

[Misty]

Romney regarding the $90 billion in tax cuts to wind and energy relative to the $2.8 billion tax break that oil companies are getting.

That was a pie thrown in Obama's angry man face lol

"You'll never balance the budget by raising taxes."

Clinton did.

Clinton also forced a work requirement on able bodied Welfare recipients... Something Obama eliminated. Exactly the 47% Romney was talking about.

Oh yea__ I guess I'm using a liberal definition of gaffe. Pun intended.

"You'll never balance the budget by raising taxes."

Clinton did.

Uhh.. Clinton tax raises did not balance the budget.... not that it was completely balanced in anything but paper... but the tech bubble had a lot to do with increased revenues, which had nothing to do with Clinton or the rest of the govt
