High Fives at DNC Headquarters
DNC officials can't believe they have Mitt Romney on video saying he likes firing people.

Here's the video:

1. Chris Matthews was right on this morning on Morning Joe

He said that Romney was like a trained dog - saying whatever he was told to say and that he would slip up.

[Peregrine Took]

2. Notice how he tried to take it back as soon as he realized what he said??

"bypeople who didn't provide good service to me..." (quick thinking there, Williard) Its the first sentence that is going to be your undoing.

HAHHAHHAHAHHA - they got him this time.

[whathehell]

6. Yes, I caught that...What a great thing to say, especially in a recession, LOL.

Asshats will be asshats!

[whathehell]

3. Yep...This should go over about as well as "Corporations are people, my friend".

Dickhead Republicans...They'll shoot themselves in the foot every time.

[Wait Wut]

4. If they giggle as much as I do...

...whenever Mittsy opens his mouth, they'll never get any work done.

Keep talking, Mitt.

[greytdemocrat]

5. People should be careful

of using sound bites.

[MilesColtrane]

10. What people?

[SunsetDreams]

20. the Blah people

[MilesColtrane]

22. The bastard people!

[aptal]

7. I am confused as to what he said that is so wrong?

He shouldn't be able to fire someone that isn't providing the level of service that he thinks is appropriate?

Plus this is a very short clip so I really can't put it into context.

[AlinPA]

12. The other R contestants have been after him for firing people; now they have this little

sound bite to play. He is also getting some payback for quoting the president out of context recently where Obama was quoting McCain in 2008 and Romney snatched a piece of McCain's quote and said that it was Obama's statement.

[jenmito]

14. But those are Willard's words-he's not quoting someone else. It's not an

apples-to-apples comparison. He didn't just take "Obama's" words out of context. They were McCain's words that Obama was repeating.

[jenmito]

13. He likes firing people. He claims his expertise is in creating jobs. We have him on tape

saying he likes being able to fire people. That feeds right into the narrative that he's a job destroyer-not creator.

[MilesColtrane]

8. Filthy rich, son of a CEO...

He was born with a silver stock option in his mouth.

[uponit7771]

9. I'm starting to think the REAL Mitt is a jerk who genuinely doesn't realize how much of a jerk he is

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Nor does he care...n/t

[immoderate]

17. There's a kind of detachment that I've always noticed.

I never get the feeling there's any intellect there.

His father wasn't like that.

[Arugula Latte]

26. He just oozes arrogance and condescension

He reminds me of a lot of frat dudes I had the misfortune to know in college.

[asjr]

15. Romney has no idea what it is to live in this time era and the real world.

His ventriloquist must rehearse with him more. No one knows what will come out of his mouth at any given time.

[randome]

16. 'High Fives' implies they did something to cause this.

Kudos to the DNC for the things they actually do but Republicans are self-destructing before our very eyes.

[flamingdem]

18. What a buffoon!

Wonder if they are playing it on Fox.

[NNN0LHI]

19. This is only going to get worse for Romney you know

Not better.

Don

[Hubert Flottz]

21. We need to fire every republican in washington for lying to us 24/7

and one indy.

[opihimoimoi]

23. Yup 86 the whole lot of the LIARS

Nothing but cheats in the GOPers ranks...anything for the remote control ...lie cheat shtoop...

[Hubert Flottz]

24. A republican pol. serves his country, from a large crock of shit,

My Son...

Deep Damp Dark D00-D00 = Trickle down D00-D00!

The party of P00...

Mitt would "FIRE THEM" like the guy with the blonde tribble on his head would. The GOPers should be in a world of Mitt...

[opihimoimoi]

27. Dribble Down Jobs from those GOPer Billionaires never did occur after 10 years...nada, puka, nai

They Lied to us man sheer lied their asses out...

now look....double down on MOOT

no one with big plans....

only small time attacks on ea other no less...WTF?

Is this the BEST of them GOPers? How Embarrassing

[Hubert Flottz]

31. Remember when Bush would tell us, every time he cut the wealthy folks taxes,

"this new tax cut will create millions of new jobs and stimulate the economy!"

Well where's all those jobs? The economy was a house of cards when Bush left town.

I don't think the country can survive another republican in the White House, who is as bad, or maybe even worse than Bush.

My grandchildren can't eat LIES. I don't have any recipes for LIES. We can't afford anymore LIES, or lying LIARS.

Maybe the GOPers need fired for lying?

[opihimoimoi]

32. Bush??? Here he is in all his glory

&feature=related

[Hubert Flottz]

33. He still just about makes me vomit.

What a dunce.

[_ed_]

25. Live by the Swift Boat, Die by the Swift Boat

I'm not a big fan of sound byte politics. If you listen to that entire clip, he's just saying that it's nice to be able to fire a company that isn't providing you the service you desire. It's something nearly every American would agree with.

If you traffic in this kind of cheap political crap, then you can't complain about Kerry's "I voted for it before I voted against it" or Howard Dean's "scream."

There are plenty of real issues to attack Romney about, not a sound byte totally out of context.

[sledwreck13]

28. Mittens

On a football field, he'd manage to step in the only pile of poop.

[lpbk2713]

29. Rummy must be trying to outdo Shit-for-Brains.

That can be the only explanation I can think of.

30. I dislike Romney as much as most self respecting liberal would.

But, if you want to be intelligent you need to see the whole clip. He never says he likes firing people from the companies he once ran. It has to do with talking about health insurance. I could care less about Romney but this kind of twisting of the facts has already ruined our political system. I think it is total bs. Romney has enough against him that is legitimate.
