CNN Political Producer Rachel Streitfeld

Irwin, Pennsylvania (CNN) - Mitt Romney repeatedly seemed to question whether President Barack Obama believed in the American dream in an energetic campaign speech Tuesday, calling his rival's approach to leadership "foreign" and accusing him of trying to change "the nature of America."

By Tangi Quemener (AFP) – 1 hour ago

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — US President Barack Obama jetted into the Republican bastion of Texas on Tuesday to raise funds and burnish his nationwide appeal as opponents called his American identity into question.

¬snip¬

In the latest swipe, former New Hampshire governor John Sununu sneered that he wished the Obama "would learn how to be an American" -- a comment that called previous attacks on the black president's identity and background.


But Romney did not distance himself from Sununu.

Indeed, in a speech in Irwin, Pennsylvania he appeared to double down on the attack, branding Obama's approach to the US economy "extraordinarily foreign."

Romney surrogate Sununu Channels Rush

Once again whatever Rush wants, Rush gets. On his show yesterday, conservative talk show titan Rush Limbaugh angrily said Camp Romney needs to go after Obama on the college-age drug use Obama admitted to in a passage in his biography. So today Romney’s high profile surrogate John Sununu — yew guessed it! – raised the drug issue and also told reporters Obama needs to learn how to be an American.

Sununu on Fox:


“He has no idea how the American system functions,” Sununu said on Fox News Tuesday. “And we shouldn’t be surprised about that, because he spent his early years in Hawaii smoking something, spent … another set of years in Indonesia.”

And to reporters:


In a brutal campaign conference call Tuesday organized by Mitt Romney’s campaign, several of the candidate’s surrogates went after President Obama with fiery attacks accusing him of socialism, and being un-American.

“I wish this president would learn how to be an American,” said former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu said toward the beginning of the call. Asked later to explain his comment, Sununu said he was referring to Obama’s economic philosophy, and apologized for not being clearer.

1. The American Dream was killed by people like Romney, in favor of the Chinese and Indian Dream.

Their growing middle and upper class, the sudden market for luxury SUVs, large homes, designer clothing, at the expense of the American Dream... is the "nature" of the elitists like Romney.

[JoePhilly]

2. Romney is pandering to the Xenophobes in his base, nothing more.

Independents won't engage this nonsense.

[tridim]

3. His Macaca moment is coming soon.

Someone will tell him to say it, and he will.

[1StrongBlackMan]

4. Without reading the story ...

I would have to say those statements are, arguably, true.

A balanced playing field WOULD be foreign to Romney AND President Obama IS attempting to change the nature of America into the land of opportunity that we claim it to be.

5. Does the son of a white woman and a black man, raised by a single mother and his grandparents,

who by his own talent, intelligence, and hard work got a degree from Columbia University, a law degree from Harvard University and then went on to become a U.S. Senator and who is now the first African American President of the United States of America believe in the American dream?



Boy, that's a tough one.

[KansDem]

6. I find it laughable that a man whose wealth...

...comes from trashing American companies, laying off American workers, and outsourcing American jobs to foreign companies should tout "the American dream."

[flakey_foont]

7. This crap makes me ill.

Obama hates America .. blah blah blah

Does anybody buy this BS?

8. This is the dufus, who back on September 22, 2011, said he was part of the middle class.

Millionaire Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Wednesday that he was seeking better tax policies for people in the middle class like himself.

“I think it’s a real problem when you have half of Americans — almost half of Americans that are not paying income tax,” the candidate told a group of supporters at a town hall event in Florida. “My own view with regards to tax policy is that we ought to provide help to the people that have been hurt most by the Obama economy, and that’s the middle class.”

-----

Earlier at the same event, he had promised not to pander or be “phony.”

In June, Romney told another group of unemployed Floridians that he was “also unemployed.”

Raw Story (http://s.tt/1dhV6)

We must make sure this phoney middle class weasel stays unemployed.

9. desperate barely veiled racist dog shit.

Not at all surprising that mittfuck would stoop to (try to) conquer.

10. Sununu walks it back, Romney doubles down.

Don't these ass clowns have cell phones?

[TwilightGardener]

11. I feel a re-release of the Muslim turban photo coming on.

Maybe some people didn't see it yet!
