"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.
who gives a shit? This political correctness is getting out of hand. Anyone with an ounce of fucking sense knows that Romney is not a racist.

Neither is Trump. But it doesn't stop him from playing to that crowd..does it?
This will cause Romney's popularity among the right wing to "skyrocket". Saying out loud what most of the base was only thinking.

No he doesn't . Have you ever stopped to consider that not everyone that questions Obama's citizenship is a racist? That shit is on you, not on those who do but aren't racists. If I see Trump at a KKK meeting, I will absolutely concede that he is pandering to racists.
By the by, what is the point of having a pissed off gorilla as your avatar, are you pandering to race baiters?

No American President has ever had his citizenship questioned in this manner. None. And the Constitution doesn't require a birth certificate to run.
What's changed?
Oh yeah..he's black.

Nothing racist about the metaphor, move along, nothing to see.
Romney Stumbles With 'Hang Obama' Line in N.H.
(NewsCore) - MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Republican 2012 frontrunner Mitt Romney put his foot in his mouth Friday night, saying that Republicans needed to "hang" President Barack Obama during an event in Manchester, N.H.
Arthur never produced a bith certificate.
Obama gave his from the very start, Then the right lied aobut it not being a legal doc.
The doc he provided WAS and IS the legal doc accepted by all entities as proof of birth.

You're kidding right?
Here's ONE example to prove you wrong. Many people believed then, and still believe that Chester A Arthur was in fact a Canadian.
Natural Born Citizen
Chester A Arthur was white.
So shut up about this only because he's black.
Oh, and no answer on the avatar question? Revealing.
Arthur never produced a bith certificate.
Obama gave his from the very start, Then the right lied aobut it not being a legal doc.
The doc he provided WAS and IS the legal doc accepted by all entities as proof of birth.
Whether Arthur produced a BC or not is irrelevant, the claim was made that no other President has had his citizenship so questioned. That claim is false.
Oh by the way, birth certificates were pretty uncommon in Arthur's day, so no one really considered the lack of one to be proof of anything; rather there was other reasons people believed what they believed; and Arthur DID produce evidence that was acceptable in his day that he was a natural born citizen; obviously or he had never been accepted by Congress.
Must you try to spin everything to protect your lefty friends?
America needs someone like Romney, so he is right. We should hang Obama.
Obama is the worst. He gave us Obamacare. We need people like Romney and the Heritage Foundation to give Americans actual HC reform.

no but it requires American birth within the rules defined, your post in that context is borderline dishonest.
Further the crowd would use anything they could get their hands on, that doesn't make it racist which to me, makes you either a projectionist or dishonest.

The irony is strong with this one..

I was going for dripping wet sarcasm, not irony.
