Obama dubs Romney ‘Romney Hood’ — robbing the poor to help the rich
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/6/12 | Joel Gehrke

President Obama portrayed Mitt Romney as the opposite of Robin Hood, saying that his Republican opponent wants to take money from poorer people to give it to wealthier people. “It’s like Robin Hood in reverse,” Obama said of Romney’s tax plan, which would cut taxes across the board by 20 percent, during a fundraiser in Connecticut. “It’s Romney Hood.” Obama’s quip distils an attack that he has repeated in the last week. “In order to afford just one $250,000 tax cut for somebody like Mr. Romney, 125 families like yours would have

If the Poor have no money, how can you rob them?

Oh right, you rob them because you don’t let them steal your money. That’s why Democrats say Tax Rate Cuts “cost” the Government Money.

It’s stolen from them before they steal it in the first place.

The “great uniter” is at it again. Just blast Americans who succeed against those who do not. Obama no more believes in a higher power than Khrushchev.

I think his math is actually off by $250,000 since “cost” requires an corresponding asset to be depleted, but I give him credit for being able to multiply 2 times 125.

Nice to know that we as a people have been rewarded for the tens of thousands of dollars spent to educate the Choom Master.

Long live Pharaoh Obama, the Prince of multiplication.

Obama: "I'm rubber. You're glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me and onto you."

Off Teleprompter, it's "You know... it's like a rubber... it's like I'm rubber, and... and... and you're like glue. Yeah, like glue. And... hee-hee... and if you say something... it will... uh... bounce off of me... yeah... and stick to you!"

Barry stole that from Jimmy carter. Reagan was Robinhood in reverse. How is this guy Obummer, getting away with telling people that Romney is raising the middle-class taxes by 2,000 a year when he takes his big tax cut. This is a LIE, but don’t expect the media to call him on it.

This clown is as dumb as a post.
Only a retarded outlaw could plan to survive long with that business model!

Obama may actually be saying things dumber than Harry Reid!

"Dennis Moore"

While without a doubt the funniest member of one of the funniest comedy troupes ever created, John Cleese (Dennis Moore) has always been a left-wing fanatic. Furthermore, I just read Michael Palin's diary from 1969-1979, and he's about as big a leftist as Cleese. I find it amusing that like the Moore sketch, which seems to satirize redistributionists (who do we know that resembles that?), they've had other sketches such as the medieval Marxists in the Holy Grail where socialism is satirized. I was disturbed by Palin's diary by the number of slams he directed at America. Cleese is a big fan of Keith Olbermann. I saw a clip on the internet of three of Python's appearing on Olbermann's program.

What a pathetic excuse for a President. I don’t think the bar could be set any lower.

I think that Romney should SEAL his Federal and State Tax Records when he announces who his Veep will be.

That would give The Media a double surprise.
