But the Washington Post can't seem to find anything about Obama's past, his youth, his school days, his grades. People have to read his book to find out that he eat dog meat and snorted cocaine.
Ahahaha- "OMG you guyz WaPo didn't report what a guy said in his own book therefore I had to read his book to find out what he said! That unfair! Me no like read book without picture!"
Eric EricKson of RedState just sent this e-mail to his subscribers of which I am one:
"Some times the news cannot wait for tomorrow morning. There is a big story out there right now and it needs your immediate attention. The Washington Post can’t be bothered to worry about Barack Obama’s college years, college transcripts, communist friends, cocaine use, or cop-killing plotters in whose living room he first launched his major political career, but they can get in the really way back machine to 1965 and Mitt Romney’s high school years."
Mitt Romney cut a hippy’s hair at his preparatory high school. A day after Barack Obama caved on gay marriage, the Washington Post “coincidentally” says Mitt Romney cut the hair of a boy who “was perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality.” Let’s leave out the fact that the kid who got his haircut was subsequently thrown out of school for smoking one cigarette, but we’re to believe that the assailants of his hair, witnessed by many, were ignored. Oh, and the guy who got his hair cut never, ever, ever mentioned it, including to family, and died in 2004 so it can’t be verified. But a handful of students who now probably support Barack Obama have a crystal clear memory of events from 50 years ago. The people who were adults at the time of the incident and still alive have no memory of it, but remember Romney and said he was never a disciplinary problem."
If these were such minor incidents, why so much "defense" from the supporters?
And, why does Mr. Romney feel the need to apologize now that the details are out?

This bullying and violent behavior occurred when he was a teenager and knew better. It gives us a glimpse of what's inside the man. What his behavior pattern might be. Disqualifying? Probably not. But something to be concerned about. And to be concerned about he handles it in his responses this week. You can tell a lot about someone's character by how they handle the tough issues/scandals.
While the Post reports White as having “long been bothered” by the haircutting incident,” he told ABC News he was not present for the prank, in which Romney is said to have forcefully cut a student’s long hair and was not aware of it until this year when he was contacted by the Washington Post.
Apparently, Mittens not only picked on gays in his school days, he actually physically assaulted at least one.

John Lauber, a soft-spoken new studentone year behind Romney, was perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality. Now hewas walkingaroundthe all-boys school with bleached-blond hair that draped over one eye, and Romney wasn’t havingit.
As a 14 yr old at elite "Cranbrooke School", Romney was known for his "practical jokes" , such as the time he led a posse of his fellow little brown shirts, as they tackled a kid whose haircut Willard didn't like, and pinned the crying child down so Romney could cut his hair with scissors.
Or, there was the time Willard escorted a blind teacher right into a closed door.
... What a surprise! Scratch these privileged little buttoned-down mama's boys, and you'll ALWAYS a bully lurking underneath.
These could be seen as wayward incidents from a youth spent seeking a path in life. Except psychologists tell us our basic nature is set by age five ( Any of us who have raised kids can attest to the truth of that).
These stories will resonate, because they illustrate a central truth about Romney's nature that only get exposed accidentally in bits and pieces when he lets his guard down- that he's got a bossy, sadistic, passive-aggressive streak a mile wide, and he takes it out on people who can't defend themselves, who he thinks are "below his station" in life.
No wonder Romney doesn't "relate" to normal people. He isn't one.
He sounds like he was a pretty normal kid and a bit awnry and a brat. I like the idea of having somebody who isn't so unrealisitically "perfect" it's suspect. Are you jealous and envious that he had a childhood and fun growing up? You think you're so smart and wise - you do realize people grow up and mature? What's your real problem? Maybe if somebody put your head in a toilet you'd lighten up.
