It just occurred to me that Mitt just torpedoed one of his acknowledged strengths - his Olympic

experience in Salt Lake City. He now can't talk about it without reminding everyone of his disastrous London tour.

1. Yep, he sure did. Better than the dems could have come up with!

[pscot]

12. It's pure, post-Rovian genius

Destroy your own strongest talking points before your political enemies do it, thus disarming them and leaving them completely gob-smacked, with nothing left to campaign on. Brilliant. Absolutely dazzling. The President is toast.

[RKP5637]

13. LOL. Now I wonder if that's what Bush was trying to do for 8 years ... n/t

[qazplm]

2. add it to the list

of bumbles and stumbles.

[Firebrand Gary]

3. Bingo! That's why he is off to Israel with Wolf for damaged control. nt

[Kalidurga]

4. He makes the McCain campaign look like sheer genius.

I miss those days. I never thought McCain was an evil man determined to undermine the middle class and create a permanent peasant class. Of course, there was a lot I disagreed with him on.

5. Oh yeah

Obama has shot down his first reference on his resume...Bain Capital.

His finances are off limits, the only thing he hasn't flipped flopped on.

so what other accomplishment in his life could he point a finger at...the 2002 Olympics. He was supposed to highlight this fact, not play ONE UP man ship.

Self inflicted wounds.

10. Romneycare!

It's all that's left. And it did work for the people.

[klook]

17. But he did Romneycare without govt. help!

[JBoy]

6. Mass Gov - Gone. Bain Capital - Gone. SLC Olympics - Gone.

WTF else has he done in his life, besides hazing gays and acting weird?

[Blue Owl]

7. Now when I see a picture of Mitt I hear the Olympics theme...

Dumb, dumb, dumb dumb, dumb,
Dumb, dumb, dumb dumb, dumb...

[immoderate]

8. He blew a soft ball about his (wife's) horse!

An interviewer asked him about his horse, Frontenac or something like that. And he could say nothing except, "You'll have to ask my wife."

He couldn't think of any experience or interaction he had with the horse. Just nothing.

9. Maybe he misunderstood the question

Maybe the guy asked Mitt if he was a horses ass, and he said you'll have to ask my wife.

[Generic Brad]

11. He is a walking attack ad on himself

The Obama team must be thoroughly delighted. Who needs attack ads? Romney is doing all their work for them.

[DeSwiss]

14. Hoist with his own petard.

- My favorite kind of hoisting.....

[rufus dog]

15. It kind of pisses me off

Team Obama didn't even get a chance to take him down on his Olympic achievements. The dumb shit did it himself.
I am waiting for the Roberto Duran, no mas moment. Although to be fair The Mittwit is more like Duran Duran.

[klook]

19. He's more like Duron paint, just drying on the wall,

a very pale shade, spread thin, applied sloppily and smelling funny.

[Rose Siding]

16. It seems he actually believed he could make his own Olympics look better if he trashed theirs.

-that he sought to build himself up by belittling someone else.

Typical bully behavior. I hope the WH has the time to appreciate this today.

[DCBob]

18. Mittens has torpedoed most of his supposed strengths.

I dont think there are any left.

[magical thyme]

20. what I find so amazing is it would have been SO easy for him to tout his Olympic experience with tha

all he had to say was something along the lines of,

"No question, the London Olympics will be fabulous and I'm looking forward to enjoying them. I've read about the issues; I have no doubt they resolved them. I remember back when I was running the SLC Olympics; some days I thought I'd tear all my hear out. You can't be putting together something of that size and complexity without unexpected complications. But you just put your heads together and work through those issues, and in the end it all works out."

It's all win/lose to Mittens and the GOP. They have no concept of win/win. That's what makes them so truly dangerous.

[grantcart]

21. or even being a good husband.

What an ass to say that he won't even watch his wife's horse compete.

What a smarmy fool.
