Not true. I'm not in the 47% and I was offended. A candidate for president being an arrogant &$$ towards almost half the country is just generally offensive. More than 47% of the country realized Mitt was full of fertilizer. It's just that some held it against him and others chose to overlook it. Your comment is false.
Beats being an arrogant &$$ towards all of the country.
If that's what your father thinks, he isn't thinking and needs a cup of coffee. It's been explained many, many times that those people are not included in the "takers". Does he only watch MSNBC?
HAHAHAHAHA~MSNBC! No ~ he wouldn't watch msnbc if his life depended on it. He watches Fox and only Fox. So he gets to hear ad nauseum - makers v takers; dependent class, entitlement class . . . and so on and so forth. They are still going on about it.
Did I mention he's 91? Staunch Repub? Decorated Veteran of many wars?
And even he is tired of being told he's one of the takers, moochers, 47%, . . .

..and that's the problem with Romney.
when it has to be explained many, many times it means he failed. You should never say you don't care about 47% of anything...especially when talking to a room full of billionaires and millionaires

It just happened the Americans seem to prefer the arrogant a$$ who is president and who has shown arrogance to the entire country and brought Presidential arrogance to a whole new level.

Or maybe they wanted to the guy who actually had a plan, any plan, just as long as it was *A* plan.
vs. the Guy who just said "I'll wave my magic wand and make everything better. Just elect me over the black guy." (I'm paraphrasing of course, but that's essentially what it was.)
This is why I didn't vote for Romney. If he had had a plan, any plan, I would have been more likely to vote for him. Even despite his 47% remark.
Hopefully the meeting is more than just showing Romney how well he lives at the White House. Tell me it is more than a PR event. Show me it has some real meaning with results, and not more of the politicians talking (and the news media and citizens eating it up) and not getting things done. Hopefully Rice will not be reporting the results based on her Talking Points.
As if Romney doesn't live very well?
Are you serious?
I would have declined if I were Romney. Whether it made an impact or not, Obama and the Dems ran a very despicable campaign. As someone said last year, since Obama couldnt run on his record, they had to "kill Romney", which is what they did, lying and running the lowest campaign seen yet on a national stage.
I couldnt be a politician. I can run against someone and strongly oppose their way of doing things, and listen to them attack me in such horrible low life ways, and then act like it never happened.
Its like Reid. How anyone on the opposite side of the aisle could ever work with that dirt bag, lying, pos ever again, is just mind boggling. He deserves nothing from anyone, let alone bipartisanship. Same with Obama, though even he isnt as bad as Reid.
The right wing has some nerve to complain given its track record for dirty politics.
"Mitt, now that the election's over, can you tell me what you planned to do? It seems like these taxes might actually get raised and I'll have nothing left to say about how to address the deficit."
