Enthusiasm Gap: Even George Bush Says ‘Meh!’ to Romney

George-Bush_Mitt-Who-_DonkeyHotey

Poor Mittens! Not even the worst president in American history, George W. Bush, can get excited for pseudo-human. ABC News had the opportunity to ask the former two-term disaster on Tuesday whom he planned to endorse in the upcoming presidential election…

Having been the guy on the other end of the punches and taunts thrown by guys like Mitt Romney, the recent story of the Republican candidate’s teen bullying inspires some stupid questions for the man who might be President:

Today the Obama campaign released two hard-hitting ads featuring Kansas City’s GST Steel. It was a successful company that had been making steel rods for 103 years when Mitt Romney and his partners at Bain Capital took control in 1993.

Obama ad_Reverse

The Republican Super PACS and the Romney campaign have begun unleashing their dishonest attack ads against President Obama. In addition to the swarm of right-wing propaganda, there’s also Mitt’s own flip-flopping and downright lies when it comes to things like taking credit for the auto industry. The Obama campaign is quick to get the truth out in front of voters by releasing a trio of ads this week outlining the president’s accomplishments in stimulating job growth and saving the American auto industry.

Mitt Willard Romney: American Psycho?

So what is the real difference between American psychos Patrick Bateman and Mitt Willard Romney? The question is a tricky one and the answer’s not what you might think.

Ticked of Crannies: What Romney’s Bullying Says About Today’s GOP

Mitt Romney (red circle) pictured with Cranbook classmates in 1965.

Mitt Romney and the boys at his prestigious Cranbrook School referred to themselves as “Crannies”, which I think is awesome. Turns out Ol’ Mittens was a bully at Cranbrook, and saw himself as an enforcer of social norms. The Washington Post reports the disturbing accounts of classmates including a story about him tackling a terrified boy, pinning him to the ground, and cutting his hair because they perceived the boy to be gay.

Mitt Romney’s BIG Lie on Job Creation in One Chart

Obama_Romney_blk-bkrnd

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney loves to say that his experience as a corporate raider, and former governor of Massachusetts, are proof of his ability to create jobs and stimulate the economy. This claim, like 99.9% of what comes out of Mitt’s mouth, is pure fabrication and has no basis in reality.

Gingrich Newtered: Douchebag In Chief Suspends Campaign

I’m disappointed in Newt Gingrich. The man has bragged about his bona fides ad nauseum, so I thought he’d at least have the cojones to take his campaign to the convention. Alas, Gingrich has proved that he is what we already knew he was: a big mouth with no balls who has a major problem keeping his pants up.

The Weak-Kneed Leadership of Willard Mitt Romney

Romney_Grenell_slider

Two weeks ago, the Romney campaign hired Richard Grenell, former spokesman for UN Ambassador John Bolton, to sharpen the candidate’s foreign policy message. Romney muzzled Grenell in the wake of harsh criticism from the Right-Wing. Grenell, after all, is openly gay. Yesterday Mr. Grenell resigned…

‘Let Detroit Die’: In Epic Mitt-Flop, Romney Claims He Saved Auto Industry

Romney_Detroit-Go-Bankrupt_slider

On November 18, 2008 Mitt Romney penned an op-ed in the New York Times entitled “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.” His main contention: The federal government should “not cut a check” to the failing auto industry. However, President George W. Bush provided temporary relief (with no oversight) in early December 2008, and President Obama provided more substantial funds coupled with government oversight in March 2009. Today the US auto industry is Number 1 in the World. In a recent Mitt-flop designed to give a reader whiplash, Romney now claims that it was his idea all along to bailout the auto industry

‘Forward’: Obama Campaign Releases New Ad, Ignores Romney (VIDEO)

Obama-video_Forward

The Obama campaign has released a new advertisement to remind voters of the unprecedented conditions that existed when the President took office. The seven-minute ad manages to lay out a convincing argument for the improvement in employment and the economy while only briefly mentioning George Bush, and ignoring Mitt Romney completely except for a brief cameo three minutes into the ad.

A Romney Presidency? POTUS Won’t Know Us (VIDEO)

What we’ve seen of Mitt Romney thus far leads me to believe that for us, the American Middle Class, Mitt Romney represents the proverbial square peg in the round hole. It is finally clear to me that we expect the presumptive Republican nominee to think and act on a level that is entirely beyond his capability. We expect him to be capable of empathizing with us. But whenever we imagine a Romney presidency, we are troubled by a candidate who has no clue what our needs are. We envision a POTUS who has no inkling of how we exist, and thus cannot effectively address the problems that pervade our everyday lives.
