NBC anchor Brian Williams reprimanded Ann Romney for saying “I believe in my heart that Mitt is going to save America,” suggesting it would have been incendiary if Michelle Obama had made such a promise.
As the two sat in the NBC News booth at the Republican convention, Williams told Mrs. Romney the phrasing “jumped off the screen to me” and maintained, without identifying the supposed source, that “someone who knows you conceded that if Mrs. Obama used words like that...there’d be all kinds of hubbub.”
He demanded: “What do you mean? Those are powerful words.”

From the Wednesday, August 29 NBC Nightly News:
BRIAN WILLIAMS: Last night, as you wrapped up, you said “this man will lift up America.” In an interview you did with Natalie Morales for my other broadcast, Rock Center, you used different language: “I believe in my heart that Mitt is going to save America.” And that jumped off the screen to me. Someone who knows you conceded that if Mrs. Obama used words like that – “Barack was going to save America” – there’d be all kinds of hubbub. What do you mean? Those are powerful words.
ANN ROMNEY: I think what it means, it comes right down to why we decided to get in the race. When I was deciding and Mitt was deciding, Mitt was reluctant. I said, I need to know one thing, is it too late basically to do the things, to fix the things for the direction this country is headed in? He said, no, it’s getting late but not too late yet. I don’t know if you can see that debt clock back there, but we are fast approaching a place where if we don’t make some dramatic changes, then we are going to be on the road to a Greece, a Spain, an Italy. Spain right now has 25 percent unemployment. If we continue to do what we’re doing, we are going to pass burdens onto our children, debt burdens that are going to be overwhelming to them, that will really cripple their lives.
So yes, it’s a sense of it’s time now to save what we now have as America. If we don’t do these tough things and turn this economy around and have a job creation that will explode and bring, you know, this economic vitality back to this nation, we’re headed on the same path that Europe is.
“Is the Republican platform pro-life or pro-abortion (aka “pro-choice”) do you know? Who is the Republican nominee for the position of president of the United States? What has that individual said is his stance on abortion? If you know that answers to those questions and are the “pro-life” champion you say you are, you will be voting for that person in November and against the current resident of the Executive Mansion, right? Unless you’re the disruptor that I said you were in the previous post, in which case you’re here to stir the sh*t for your master. Which is it, huh?”

Why not say? Name the Republican candidate for President, he’s your fella.
In Romney’s political career, your man has never shown a record for life. He’s is responsible for two abominations, legislating for abortion and sodomy~! What did he tell the people of Massachusetts...in his own words, shall I post his choice for abortion and one video, it’s been removed, shows Romney praising his own mother for being pro-abortion.
These days, he says he is pro-life while not backing down
on his stand, there are three exceptions to allow murdering a child in the womb.

Off to either an early or late start on your anti-Republican jihad & campaigning?
So, just what is it that you propose that offers a better choice at this juncture? Hmmmm?
I have a choice to make, all be it no the choices I want, but still a choice to make. It shows you have made your choice Newb to champion for Obama. We get it, now go back to your own corner of the ring and get ready for the bell because we who want to see Obama retired “to save America” are going to come out swinging to knock you and your butt-boy out!
To think we cannot see past your agenda is laughable in that you only attack Romney and never offer a solution as to how we rid ourselves of this public cancer called the Obama administration. It is all the same with you dweebs. The same wording, the same paragraph structure, by, bye loser.
JUST A FEW QUESTIONS: Are you guys minimum wage, commission or volunteers? Do you blog out of mom’s basement or actually have a cubicle at O4A (just trying to gauge what level of disruptor we rate at FR) and do you get free pizza and soda? What year Prius do you drive? Do they give you a handbook on acting like a “concerned” conservative or do you just wing it? Ever worked in a real job? What’s your degree in?
Excellent!
I too have noticed the number and sophistication of the Trolls this time. Some though seem to be single issue ones, like on the Akin threads.
It’s getting to be a real education in spotting them. Some are using screen names that go back a decade or more. They’re absent most of the time and then show up at election time to cause hate and chaos.
How about ,we have to change our History,Change our traditions.
NBC’s David Gregory is Married to Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac (wife is counsel) and NBC sees
itself as DNC, with a single role to protect
AND COVER UP Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
and other DNC travesties.
And so, Brian Williams is on an agenda.
1. Hide any speakers of diversity at the RNC.
2. Call the RNC racist.
3. Impugn every person not for DNC/NBC.
That is not News, it is propaganda.
If the present state of the nation does look to Brian Williams like something desperately in need of being saved, he’s not got his eyes open.
Brian, let her ‘splain it to you
Bless your heart
Bwian,
At least it wasn’t the first time in her life that Ann Romney was proud of her country .... speaking of words that jump out at people
Brian Williams actually BOWED to Obama...BOWED. OMG!
Maybe you shuld find a liberal democrat candidate you like better.
feh...
Naw, Stewart has the ability to be funny and entertaining when he chooses to be. (He just doesn’t choose to.) Get him off politics and he’s funy and sometimes insightful.
If it were 1938, he would be doing the goose step. Same mindset.
Mega Bump!!!
Laughs, I actually found a third quote of Michelle’s from before the Iowa caucuses, about how they were going to put THE WORLD to rights if he won, and was inspired to put them all together into a very polite letter to Mr. Williams, asking him to help me find his commentary concerning them, since I had been unable to find any reference to them either in print, or in any of the numerous interviews he held with Mrs. Obama.....
I’m NOT holding my breath...
But, I will let you all know if I get any response at all, lol.
; )
Dear Lord, please share Your strength.
Tatt
On second thought, maybe it does. I can see how you like those uniforms in the graphic.
