The Liberals in the press believe in a pattern. The pattern is that Democrats are allowed to say anything and Republicans are supposed to shut up and take it. Democrats can kick you in the b*lls and if you are a Republican you have to ignore it, and if you complain they tell you to stop whining. Mitt Romney threw a jab (it wasn’t a joke, it was a jab) and the press is shocked! This is not how Republicans are supposed to act! Well, guess what, the press had better get used to it. Of course they won’t because they are the print and broadcast arm of the Democrat party, but it’s going to be fun to watch them spit and foam at the mouth.
In 1996, Barbara Bush spoke at the RNC convention, introducing her husband, the former President. In her short speech, she said that he was a good, moral, ethical man.
She was excoriated by the liberal press. Why? Because, by saying her husband was a GOOD man, she was implying that Bill Clinton was not. And so, she was “attacking” and “going negative”, which was “beneath” the dignity of a former first lady.
So, the rule was, you can’t say anything nice about your own husband, if people might contrast that to what they think about someone else.
That is what is happening here. Romney said NOTHING about Obama. He made a perfectly factual point — that he was where he was born, and that people knew he was born there, there were records and people who would remember and could speak to it.
It’s not Romney’s fault that none of that seems to be true about Obama. Obama, who refuses to actually release his birth certificate, who instead spent months hiding it and them submitted records OF those records in a way that, at best, made it look like they were fraudulent. A man for whom nobody seems to remember his past, a man who wrote in his own autobiography in a way that suggested he was born on foreign soil, but who then gets mad if people quote him.
Romney’s no birther. But Obama’s no capitalist, and yet he makes jokes like he is all the time. It’s not racist to suggest that Obama hasn’t proven his state of birth — it has nothing to do with his race. If Obama was white, the SAME questions would be raised.
I know that, because IN FACT Obama IS white. At least, he is exactly as white as he is black. His mother was white, and she is the one who was there to raise him when his black father left. She is the one who actually gave birth in some hospital, so we are talking about a white woman giving birth somewhere and getting a birth certificate for her son, the son of a white woman.
It’s not about race, it’s about his inability to tell the truth, his inability to be open and honest and to provide useful information.
A community, tribe or nation is a multi-generational concept. It is not a game of musical chairs.

Great! This is a VERY intelligent strategy. This implies so much, while saying so little (in details or accusations). Look at how this connected with the crowd, and how it penetrated the filters of the media.
Zero can’t let this walk, he has to respond. It will be interesting seeing how he does. It should take him off the “let’s see more taxes” thing.
It was a joke, but sure didn’t hurt to make the comment and put the notion in people’s minds. Good move, Mitt.
Obama’s “people” have been saying untrue CRAP for four months—’bout time we fought back.
That’s what I’m praying for. Sort of like Bogart in the ‘Caine Mutiny’ or Nicholson in ‘A Few Good Men’
Good luck with that when they have Leftist asking the questions.
