High Fives at DNC Headquarters
DNC officials can't believe they have Mitt Romney on video saying he likes firing people.
Here's the video:

(22,142 posts)He said that Romney was like a trained dog - saying whatever he was told to say and that he would slip up.

(304 posts)He shouldn't be able to fire someone that isn't providing the level of service that he thinks is appropriate?
Plus this is a very short clip so I really can't put it into context.

(15,071 posts)sound bite to play. He is also getting some payback for quoting the president out of context recently where Obama was quoting McCain in 2008 and Romney snatched a piece of McCain's quote and said that it was Obama's statement.
jenmito
(37,326 posts)apples-to-apples comparison. He didn't just take "Obama's" words out of context. They were McCain's words that Obama was repeating.
jenmito
(37,326 posts)saying he likes being able to fire people. That feeds right into the narrative that he's a job destroyer-not creator.

Hubert Flottz
(37,726 posts)"this new tax cut will create millions of new jobs and stimulate the economy!"
Well where's all those jobs? The economy was a house of cards when Bush left town.
I don't think the country can survive another republican in the White House, who is as bad, or maybe even worse than Bush.
My grandchildren can't eat LIES. I don't have any recipes for LIES. We can't afford anymore LIES, or lying LIARS.
Maybe the GOPers need fired for lying?

(1,734 posts)I'm not a big fan of sound byte politics. If you listen to that entire clip, he's just saying that it's nice to be able to fire a company that isn't providing you the service you desire. It's something nearly every American would agree with.
If you traffic in this kind of cheap political crap, then you can't complain about Kerry's "I voted for it before I voted against it" or Howard Dean's "scream."
There are plenty of real issues to attack Romney about, not a sound byte totally out of context.

(25,415 posts)But, if you want to be intelligent you need to see the whole clip. He never says he likes firing people from the companies he once ran. It has to do with talking about health insurance. I could care less about Romney but this kind of twisting of the facts has already ruined our political system. I think it is total bs. Romney has enough against him that is legitimate.
