Really, CNN? Really?

Obama 'victim'-izing Romney

Posted by
CNN Political Unit

(CNN) - President Barack Obama wasted little time recently adding a new element to his stump speech which makes Mitt Romney the victim of his own comments.

At a fund-raiser in Florida last spring, Romney said that that 47% of people pay no federal income taxes, are dependent on government, and view themselves as victims - and will support Obama regardless of the arguments Romney makes about lowering taxes.

His comments were secretly recorded and posted on a left-leaning website last Monday and Tuesday.

Romney said his words were "off the cuff" and "not elegantly stated," but Obama proceeded to use them against him.

"Obama 'victim'-izing Romney" using Mitt's comments that were posted on a "left-leaning website" even though Romney said he'd "lower taxes" and his argument was "not elegantly stated," mean old Obama "proceeded to use them against him."



Operation Rescue Mitt is an EPIC FAIL.

Give it the hell up!
