So, this guy called Obama the 'n' word, and Romney tells him to resign.

Is he doing this because that's the kind of guy he is, because he is the new PC cop, or because it might run again?

Mitt Romney wants 'n word'-using police official to go. Why is he involved? - CSMonitor.com

Mitt Romney joins calls for the Wolfeboro, N.H., police commissioner to resign over use of a 'vile epithet' to refer to President Obama. The GOP's ex-presidential nominee has a keen interest in that community.

GOP ex-presidential candidate Mitt Romney is pushing for the ouster of a local New Hampshire official who used an inflammatory racial slur to describe President Obama.

Mr. Romney, the former governor of next-door state Massachusetts, has long had a summer home in the idyllic lake town of Wolfeboro, N.H. Wolfeboro Police Commissioner Robert Copeland has lit a firestorm of national criticism by acknowledging use of the “n word” in describing America's chief executive.

“The vile epithet used and confirmed by the commissioner has no place in our community. He should apologize and resign,” said Romney in a statement

And resigned.

This isn't exactly "PC" outrage territory.

I tend to agree it is not. He is a part of that community, and silence could be taken for approval.

Mitt Romney's probably scared of the Revolution. Probably trying to appeal to the black demographic.


Whaddup Mittens! You can't have it back!

No matter his motive, Romney's actions are commendable and demonstrate character.

That was the right thing to do. He paid the correct price. We have one POTUS, and whether we like the current one or not, the police chief disrespected not just the occupant, but the office, and the commander in chief.

Mr. Romney shares the same 1st Amendment Rights as 300 plus million more do.
