Romnesia? Really?

Between GOTV phone calls I overheard someone saying Obama coined a phrase "Romnesia". Is this true? Apparently it had something to do with all his flip-flopping.

Damn, if our media wasn't such a sack of shit entity, consumed by sociopath-enabling citizens who wouldn't turn off from Romney even if he came out wearing a SWAZTIKA. "Romnesia" should be an instant hit with lasting historical implications. Moreso if Obama came up with that in public.

Obama, the hardest-hitting President in history, when it comes to wit.

Been hit with that too many times to count.

The Gaurdian in the UK, outlines many classic symptoms.... forgetting where you came from, but that was long ago... could be confused with plain old bad memory function.


Here on the Ed show, they have the President in Virginia talking about quite late stages of this delusional behavior. Not able to track even the most current and immediate danger that impulsive, irresponsible greed based behavior does to one's short term memory and chances at being elected to dog catcher, much less President of the US.

Hope he wears him out in the Debate!

Governor - What will it be tonight?

What's Next For Mitt?

Hope the President counts the lies on his fingers during the debate -- then he can hold up his fingers as he counts the lies.

7. It helps if you watch it from the horse's mouth - Obama's brilliant at the art of ridicule!

And I'll say it again - to take a tip from the master Saul Alinsky, ridicule is a powerful weapon!

Very generous and showed excellent humility.

I liked the OP line;
"Damn, if our media wasn't such a sack of shit entity, consumed by sociopath-enabling citizens"

BINGO!

"W" was born with a silver foot in his mouth. I don't think it will make a hill of beans difference in the election and we know what happened to Ann Richards. I hope it works but it sounds kind of grammar school to me.
