mitt didn't go on national teevee via five networks to inform the people...

it's friday night....

i saw 2 of the interviews and it appeared he went on teevee to tell the media what story to use.

it's all just Obama playing politics and it's beneath the office of the President.

i left bain in 1999 and that's that....

and don't ask about my tax returns, cause i released an entire year's worth.

otherwise he offered absolutely no information.

He was asked several times about the fact he signed documents as the head of Bain after 1999 but apparently he wasn't responsible for anything and his signature meant nothing. How can this person be trusted to swear to an oath as President, sign a bill, or issue an executive order if his signature is worth nothing?

If he tells the truth, which I don't think he really knows how to do, it will be the end of his chances to win the WH. If he tells a another lie, well that's just one more lie that will come back to haunt him later. He can't release his tax returns because that would really cook his goose, plus it could prove he was guilty of voter fraud when he voted for Brown in Mass.

It has to be hard for a habitual liar like him to try and figure out what he needs to do. Is problem is by not producing any evidence to back up his lies, the public is not going to simply accept his word on things. Sure the brain dead bas might, but even they are going to get tired of this crap sooner or later.

Yep, I think Mitt is in a world of trouble, and the good thing is they have just begun, I am sure there is a whole lot more to come down the road, after the nomination.

Guess Mittens spent the day practicing in front of the mirror and memorizing the talking points. Answering actual questions- not so much.

Which was the plan/script. Some people have figured out the propaganda game as it never changes but most people remain nothing but propaganda responders, especially TV/MSMedia watchers.

You are correct, he offered absolutely no information. The same can be said for most TV.

Yes he did. And, as Rachel pointed out, in all five 'interviews,' he recited the very same thing--verbatim. And no, nothing was cleared up by Mitt's spontaneous little media blitz.
To paraphrase Shakespeare: the gentleman doth protest too much, methinks.
