POWELL, Ohio Mitt Romney had a message for the protesters who greeted him and Representative Paul D. Ryan, along with 5,000 supporters, here on Saturday morning: This is kind of like the Greek chorus in the background, he said, in a reference to President Obamas speech four years ago at the Democratic convention in Denver, which he delivered in front of large Greek columns.
Everything they do reminds us of Greece and were not going to Greece, Mr. Romney said. Were going to get America back to being America.
Mr. Romney said he had re-read Mr. Obamas Denver acceptance speech, and that it was really a brilliant speech . . .
He returned to the Greek theme later in his speech, using the protesters to attack Mr. Obamas record.
Our Greek chorus out there is chanting, Four more years! Mr. Romney said.

. . . the Greek-hate is baffling to me. What a frivolous and irresponsible man.

Ironically, their biggest economic problem is, IMHO, the fact that their government is unable to force their rich people to pay sufficient taxes.
