It's called an "assault", not a prank.

And that's just brilliant!

once more with feeling. It’s the economy that matters and Obama owns the economy and the economy stinks.

This whole article is seriously BFD.

Now what, shall we go back and look at Obama as a fetus? Did his mother smoke? Do drugs? Drink? Anything that might have affected him in utero? Maybe his brain cells were scrambled by her reckless behavior-should we pull that apart?

How far back do you want to take this stupid stuff? Grand-parents, great grand-parents? You libs are just desperate to change the real problem - hope and change is killing America and it's time to dump this lame president.

Default Can you even trust Romney ????

This Washington Post article, shows that FIVE STUDENTS who were present when the event happen ALL SIMILARLY RECALLED the incident involving Romney holding down and clipping the hair of a defenseless student.

Mitt Romney’s prep school classmates recall pranks, but also troubling incidents - The Washington Post

Quote:
The incident was recalled similarly by five students, who gave their accounts independently of one another. Four of them — Friedemann, now a dentist; Phillip Maxwell, a lawyer; Thomas Buford, a retired prosecutor; and David Seed, a retired principal — spoke on the record. Another former student who witnessed the incident asked not to be identified.
One called the event "VICIOUS":

Quote:
“It was a hack job,” recalled Maxwell, a childhood friend of Romney who was in the dorm room when the incident occurred. “It was vicious.”
Another is troubled by the event even to this day:

Quote:
“It happened very quickly, and to this day it troubles me,” said Buford, the school’s wrestling champion, who said he joined Romney in restraining Lauber. Buford subsequently apologized to Lauber, who was “terrified,” he said. “What a senseless, stupid, idiotic thing to do.”
Romney claims he CAN'T RECALL the event:

Romney again insists he doesn

Quote:
Mitt Romney insisted again that he has no recollection of an incident in which he allegedly bullied a classmate who was suspected to be gay, but repeated an apology for "stupid things" he did in high school.
"I don't recall the incident myself," Romney told Fox News' Neil Cavuto, adding that he did not "dispute" the reporting. "I did some stupid things when I was in high school."
Five people VIVIDLY recall the event ... and Romney claims he can't.

Can Romney even be trusted ????

Please! Romney remembers it well. Anybody who dosen't have Alzheimer's, would. The problem for Romney is, it displays how dumb his writers believe the public to be.

Romney supporters like to point at his success in growing Target, but that is the exception rather than the rule. He and his co-hort made a lot of money for themselves by having companies max out their lines of credit, pay huge sums of money to Bain and their investors, and then declare bankrupcy, so none of the money had to be paid back. That is theft from creditors in my book, even if it is legal.

Although a lot of us would like to be rich, I think there are many of us who wouldn't want to make money the way he did. It might keep us up at night. But, not Mitt, he doesn't care what havoc he causes for others as long as he gets his.

Sure, he cared about his co-worker's missing daughter, that was one of his good ole boys' child. But, the rest of us are merely an irritation to him; a vote to exploit.
So what you do in high school speaks to what type of man you are as an adult? Then apparently we have a drug-abusing, cokehead that likes to shove women around in the WH.

Really? Are any of us what we were in high school? Some of us have evolved, grown and changed for the better. Some of us are still commie sympathizers.

As for heartless, I think it's VERY heartless to be the leader of the US, and forget forget the magnitude of the recession, and the struggles americans are facing.
