Obama just dubbed Romney's Tax Plan: ROMNEYHOOD!

Obama just dubbed Romney's Tax Plan: ROMNEYHOOD!

by Drdemocrat

President Obama was just on the stump and he has just dubbed Romney's Tax plan that increases taxes on the middle class and the poor in order to pay for tax cuts for the rich "ROMNEYHOOD".

http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2012/08/obama-its-romneyhood-131270.html?hp=l3

This is what President Obama said on the stump in Connecticut just now:

According to a pool report:

This economic crisis didn't change our character. It didn't change who we are. It just made our mission that much more urgent."

"We've got the best workers in the world, we've got the best entrepreneurs in the world." He said what's standing in our way right now "is our politics."

He blamed "the uncompromising view that says we should be going back to the old top-down economics that got us into this mess in the first place."

"The entire centerpiece" of Romney's economic plan is a $5 trillion tax cut, he said.

The president spoke of the Tax Policy Center's analysis of Romney's plan again. "It's like Robin Hood in reverse -- it's Romney-hood."

The crowd laughed and roared and whistled its approval.

"That's the choice in ths election. That's why I'm running for a second term as president.

"
A twitter report:

Pres. Obama: "Mr. Romney wants you to pay for tax cuts for him. It's like Robin Hood in reverse. It's Romney Hood!"

Romneyhood is now being used on twitter as #Romneyhood

He sat back for three years and took all thier shit without going negative, thus creating the persona of a fair person. Now he gets to slam the crap out of an unlikeable guy. Only ones who will be put off already hate him, and would hate him no matter what he said.

And... why do they never think of WHY the GOP would champion such a failure?

Because for all those people who stole the money, it wasn't. And they want more.

At first I thought it Romney Hood meant a place like Flint, Michigan or some slave-factory in China.
Or maybe a condition of well-being, as in aspiring to Romney-Hood.
Then I thought it might be a covering for an empty vessel, like some heads. Variant: Romney-Hoodie
Finally I realized that they were Referring to Romney Hood, the merriest of the merry men. I guess that fits because in Sherwood the trees are the right height to block your view of the forest.

...that the Dems have sorely lacked lately. The Repubs have played the soundbite game for decades now, and now it's being shoveled back at them.

This time, the Frame Game has been engaged and dictated by the Dems. It's about time.

Yay! Keep this up!

sending their obnoxious e-mails. My daughter got one claiming that Obama is trying to pass a bill to tax 1% on all bank transactions, including bank deposits and withdrawals by ordinary people!

I checked it out, there is such a bill, but it is not supported by Obama or anyone in his Admin, and has no sponsors, so the chances that it will be passed are zero and none. But, they don't miss an opportunity to make something out of nothing. Like Romney, trying to get people to believe that Obama is trying to take away the military's early voting (3 days before election) away! What liars.

I know there will be more twists and turns in the campaign, but I'm amazed at how the dems are firing on all cylinders right now. President Obama showing he is still the best campaigner, Harry Reid being tough as nails, good ol' Nancy Pelosi joining the fray... dems look like world beaters right now. Just remember only we the people can bring home the gold.. Double check your id"s and make sure to vote on Nov 6th. America is far too good to be left in the hands of Romney and the teabaggers

Everyday is like Christmas and the every Christmas is better than the one before it. I can't wait to see what happens next. Romney is sure to pick a really bad VP, but that is because all he has to chose from is very bad people. Then they are going to shine the pick, up for the convention. The term polishing a turd comes to mind. Then they campaign for real and Romney can't just keep hiding up in New Hampshire buying "Hardware stuff". Then the debates, oh boy. Mitt won't be able to get through the debates with clean pants. Ha ha ha ha . Romney Hood, that is the best description of Romney ever.

It actually looked like he had a CLOTHESLINE in that bucket he bought! What the hell would he do with a clothesline OR a bucket? The a__hole doesn't even know how to do a decent photo op.

P.S. Would he even know what a clothesline WAS? Maybe he was bringing it home to Ann for an anniversary present.
