Why the hell are they even allowing them to shut down a speaker system in the first place is my question. The Obama team is starting off on the wrong foot already GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER guys http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/05/31/1096226/-Romney-aides-disrupt-Obama-campaign-press-conference-on-Mitt-Romney-s-gubernatorial-record

(8,945 posts)not shut them down. In otehr words they were trying to shout over the spekers, not to cut the actual speakers off. That's at least how I read it. Amazing (and amazingly idiotic) stuff nevertheless.

(27,617 posts)"pranks" with no humor are supposed to be funny. A mob pinning down a screaming/crying kid and cutting his hair is a "prank". Acting like a woman standing next to you in a photo pinched your butt in front of a crowd of national reporters is a "joke". Pretending you got a maid fired for something a political aide did is "hilarious".
Romney is missing some of the critical pieces required for humor and empathy.
His campaign truly does reflect him - remember his first ad COMPLETELY lying - acting like Barack Obama stating what a McCain person said was instead stating the words himself - and then saying the lying was standard and perfectly fair behavior.
Lying to him means nothing. Truth and facts are completely subjective.
He is Weird and, no, weird does not mean Mormon (even if Politico says otherwise). He is just off. Him dealing with foreign leaders would be just as embarrassing as W.

(12,272 posts)Cutting off the speaker system would mean they had a guy on the inside or that the PA system for the rally was just open to anyone.
And don't forget, it wasn't just shouting, some guy was standing there in a suit and tie, blowing bubbles. My take, is that he thinks he is very clever
