A new neologism entered the 2012 presdential campaign on Tuesday.

Mitt Romney, speaking to Fox News, responded to President Barack Obama calling his tax plan "Romney Hood." Obama said that the rich would see their taxes lowered while the middle class would pay more, citing a Tax Policy Center study.

"We have been watching the president say a lot of things about me and my policies -- and they're just not right," Romney said. "And if I were to coin a term, it would be 'Obamaloney.'"

"He's serving up a dish which is simply in contradiction with the truth."

The article points out that Romney's apparently copying Newt Gingrich's debate attack on him for his "pious baloney."

But Obama's use of "Romney Hood" was deft and instantly memorable.

Romney's "Obamaloney" is as clumsy as Romney usually is, and instantly cringeworthy.

1. I bet someone else came up with that term

He doesn't think that fast on his feet nor is he clever or witty.

4. i guarantee they did a focus group on it as well.

remember, though, the right-wing based eats that crap up.

13. I disagree .... if it were focused grouped, it would have been rejected.

I say this is all Romney.

17. i didn't say they used intelligent people in their focus group.

given that campaigns these days are mostly about increasing turnout, they probably used registered republicans instead.

2. his opponent has a funny name like obama and he STILL can't make proper fun of it!

two words: "in" & "ept".

[Kalidurga]

3. Yeah whatever

He just says the other guy is lying. But just like all Romney assertions he offers no proof. In the meantime we got scads of proof that Romney is a lying sac o chit.

5. Romney further devastated his opponent with the scathing "I'm rubber, you're glue..." retort

(not really, but he may as well have!)

6. The name calling is quite

humorous. Who would have thunk this election is going to be competed on variants of each others' names.

7. Romney is so outclassed I almost feel sorry for him.......

OKAY, the feeling is gone now!

[lunatica]

19. LOL!

You nearly slipped there!

9. Only one problem Mittwit.

Obama isn't making anything up. His criticism is based on the Tax Policy Center's study which clearly shows Romney's tax plan WILL cut taxes for the rich and raise taxes for everyone else.

This falls right in line with the Rmoney campaign's pitiful attempts to attack Obama with whatever they're really guilty of (being blatant liars). Conservatives use psychological projection all the time because they have no legitimate arguments.

10. Mitt likes to fire people so he should fire the guy who coined Obamaloney for him

11. Romney, Romney Bo-Bomney

Banafana-Fo Fomney
Mee-My-Mo Momney

[RedStateLiberal]

12. Haha!

This made me lol.

[Ganja Ninja]

14. I bet $10,000 that Romney has never had a baloney sandwich.

Foie Gras on toast is the closest he's ever come.

[Ruby the Liberal]

15. Gosh darnit, Mitt - now thats swift!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

16. Wow. What a painfully cutting meme sure to flow off 1,000's of tongues.

As soon as they figure out how to pronounce it, not mention what it's supposed to mean.

[CBGLuthier]

18. Are you sure he didn't say, Obamalogna?
