MSNBC's Bashir Suggests a President Romney Would Be Mental Breakdown Waiting to Happen

In an interview last Thursday with Reno, Nevada, station KTVN, Ann Romney said her chief concern with her husband winning the presidency would be his "mental well-being," adding, "I have all the confidence in the world in his ability, in his decisiveness and his leadership skills, in his understanding of the economy, in his understanding of what's missing right now in the economy - you know, pieces that are missing to get this jumpstarted. So for me I think it would just be the emotional part of it."

Obviously, in context, she was not suggesting her husband couldn't handle stress well, just that she knows the presidency is a stressful job and would be emotionally taxing on the man she loves. But to MSNBC's Martin Bashir, it was an opportunity to run a segment on his October 1 program where he strongly suggested that Romney may not be mentally fit for duty as president.

If Romney said he liked to go to his son’s and daughter’s babies’s birthday parties and eat cake and hold the babies, the media would report it as “Romney says he likes..to..eat...babies.”

Well,Osama Obama *does* have *that* advantage over Romney.I mean,chillin with The Pimp With The Limp and two rounds of golf a day is a really stress free life.Romney's long history of doing an honest day's work would expose him to the stresses of the office.

This is MSNBC. These guys would stand up an urinate on a picture of Romney if they thought it would please their 500 viewers.

Aren't you exaggerating a bit here? There is no way that MSNBC has that many viewers.

Does being a mental patient qualify Bashir to do diagnoses?

Most of us remember how Reagan was too old to think straight and that George W Bush was a functioning "dry" alcoholic. George HW Bush was a coward who abandoned his crewmen when his plane was shot down, Gerald Ford was a clumsy bunbling fool and Richard Nixon was "tricky dick" Don't forget too that McCain made compromising comments in his confession after six years of unspeakable torture.

The dims are slimeballs. They continue to prove it.

LOL. I think the communist media tries to have a field day whenever any conservative opens their mouth. The whole point of the process is to ridicule and demean Republicans and Conservatives as much as possible to sway (brainwash) the gullible, and to intimidate Republicans and Conservatives from speaking at all. (They did a good job with Juan McLame.) There's nothing new here. Especially coming from the likes of Martini Basher.

What would be interesting is to have Mrs. Romney stand her ground and throw the Liberal Media's crap back at their faces. Now that would be newsworthy!

May I ask a silly question? Why bother going on obviously partisan or state run networks? Its not like Conservatives are ever going to get fair, or even polite coverage.

But if a break-down occurred, he still couldn’t do 1/10 as much damage as the “sane” obama has already caused.

Barack Obama is just a really scary man. Abandoned by father at birth, mother at age 10, heavy drug user, I have noticed some interesting things. His emotions do not seam real. Sometimes he is too happy, just excessivly smiling, kind of an idiot, Alfred E. Neuman grin. Also, flying off to Las Vegas for a fundraser, when the American Ambassador was just killed, what kind of man can do that? He does have a kind of coolness, but also a weirdness that is very troubling.

Let me get this straight....An MSNBC host wants to address the subject of “sanity”?
