Romney: White House Agrees With Me On My Critique Of The President

he just can't fucking help himself!!!

In an interview with ABC News Thursday evening, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney suggested that, after it was all said and done, the Obama administration concluded that his criticism of their handling of yesterday's embassy attacks was, indeed, valid.

“What I said was exactly the same conclusion the White House reached, which was that the statement was inappropriate. That’s why they backed away from it as well,” Romney told George Stephanopoulos.

This is fairly impressive verbal gymnastics. Yes, the White House distanced itself from the initial statement put out by the U.S. Embassy in Cairo that condemned a crass anti-Muslim film that had been making the rounds on the Internet. And yes, Romney also criticized the issuance of that statement.

Two things:

I think that Romney and Lyin' Ryan should be committed
before the election.

Romney - the true king of hearts!

and Ryan is the barber - "When people come in for a haircut, I pay them."
"Why do you think my business is so good!"

put them away before they hurt somebody!
