” OBAMA IS DELIBERATELY DEPRIVING CHILDREN’S CHARITIES $ 5 MILLION, HOW MANY MORE CHILDREN HAVE TO DIE MR. PRESIDENT ?”
He heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
As I said before, you do realize that the twitter posted is not Romney. It’s a fake account. He never made that statement. The account posted has a “zero” for the “o” in “Romney” and it is from “Willard Mitt Romney”....
Do some homework before you post nonsense.
This could escalate very quickly. Michael Moore could offer 5 million to charity for Romney’s tax returns. Rush could offer a million of something from Obama, then someone else offers a million for something from Romney. Pretty soon there’d be over a billion dollars collected for charity!
As for Obama: he doesn't have to release anything. Releasing it would be a sign of weakness, and would be seen to be an American pResident jumping to the tune of a private citizen that appears to be blackmailing him. Also consider this. a) Obama knows that those against him would never believe any records he released were genuine. b) Obama also knows that those who support him would be on his side even if it was shown he came from the planet Neptune. Thus, for him releasing the documentation adds absolutely no value. The only focal point would be the impact (or lack of) on undecided voters. So far, the undecideds were waiting for some bombshell, which never came. The statement by Trump does bring the fact that this president is hiding a lot of private information, but in and of itself will not sway an undecided one way or another. Similar to how releasing Obama's thought-about-divorce-years-ago information would simply have had no impact on undecideds (especially considering most of them have probably, at one point or another, thought of divorce). Unlike FReepers or DUmmies, undecideds and independents do not sway to the usual triggers we at FR or the silly ones at DU do. Think of it another way - they are actually undecided in one of the most important elections in US history! That says a lot.
Which is why I am amazed that some here think what Trump did was some amazingly Machiavellian master-stratagem, when the truth is that its impact is only on two groups. The FReepers (and other active Conservatives), a constituency that already considers Obama an usurper who is not American; and the DUmmies (and other active Liberals), a constituency that considers Obama the second coming of JFK. Neither of those groups is going to change their perceptions and perspectives. As for the Undecideds - it will take more to push them one way or another.
Anyways, I agree with you. There was probably some other story - an actual bombshell - which, for whatever reason, was put on hold at the last minute. Trump didn't make all the noise he made over the weekend just to make a YouTube video challenging Obama.
You and RoosterRedux have nailed what I believe to be the real story. Trump did have some real information. Mitt probably told him to hold off for fear of some adverse backlash reaction. Mitt has momentum in his favor and playing the wrong card could upset it.
” It’s not non-sense if people were thinking this already before that tweet.”
I didn’t even know about the “tweet”. I just thought it was funny, and could be used against Obama.
Snark : )
“
Even if that tweet were not sent out many people would have said that anyway.”
Yep
