Barack Obama Teaches Mitt Romney How Humans React When They Do Something Wrong

-snip-

What Hannity, et al, fail to disclose is what Obama wrote immediately following the excerpt they’re flogging:

For the rest of the afternoon, I was haunted by the look on Coretta’s face just before she had started to run: her disappointment, and the accusation. I wanted to explain to her somehow that it had been nothing personal; I’d just never had a girlfriend before and saw no particular need to have one now. But I didn’t even know if that was true. Iknew only that it was too late for explanations, that somehow I’d been tested and found wanting; and whenever I snuck a glance at Coretta’s desk, I would see her with her head bent over her work, appearing as if nothing had happened, pulled into herself and asking no favors.

My act of betrayal bought me some room from the other children, and like Coretta, I was mostly left alone.

1. Meanwhile ... Mitt says he doesn't recall the incident in question.

Speaks volumes.

2. Not to mention, one incident involved very typical

reactions by 10 year olds dealing with the boy/girl thing and the other involved an 18 year old deliberately attacking someone.

3. Comparing a 10 year old's action to that of an 18 year old is absolutely desperate.

When I was 10, I thought girls were icky and still played with action figures.

That all stopped by 17 1/2 at the latest.

4. I still play with action figures

Some of the Japanime ones are pretty cool.

5. How dare you accuse Repugs of taking things out of context, or only partial quotes ...

Don't you know that only LIBRULS do that kind of "fake" reporting?

[Richardo]

6. I never accept a quote from a conservative at face value. Need the 30 seconds before and after...

...same goes for excerpts.

RW quotes are usually context-free. Or doctored.
