Watch the White House Crush Romney’s Blame Obama for Harry Reid Meme

By: Jason Easley
August 6th, 2012


In a last ditch attempt to make his unreleased tax returns go away, the Romney campaign jumped on the right wing blame Obama meme, which the White House turned into another Romney disaster.

Here is the video from Mediaite, @ link~

The first answer from Press Secretary Jay Carney was bad enough for the Romney campaign.

That is over 1,000 words of transcript from the White House where they got to talk about tax cuts for the middle class, Mitt Romney’s unpopular position on taxing the rich, and Romney’s tax returns.

On top of all of those goodies, the White House crushed Romney’s conspiracy theory that blames Obama for Harry Reid’s allegations about his tax returns.

It is like Santa Harry Reid is allowing Democrats and the Obama campaign to celebrate Christmas in August with this bounty of gifts. All Republicans can do is stomp their feet, scream Harry Reid is a liar, and hope beyond hope that their candidate someday puts his man pants on and releases his tax returns.

The media has gotten a hold of this now, and Romney won’t stop the bleeding by releasing his tax returns. And if Romney won’t release his returns, Republicans might find this election over before it even officially gets started.

1. I'd wonder why they bother to put on a convention, except the Koches already paid for it!

[Merlot]

2. "Mitt Romney’s unpopular position on taxing the rich," shouldn't that be

"Mitt Romney’s unpopular position on NOT taxing the rich,"

3. The majority of Americans think the rich should be taxed, so his is unpopular. nt

[Merlot]

4. It makes it sound like he's FOR taxing the rich which he isn't.

5. I understand what you're saying, but also understand why

it was written that way, thus my comment. Unfortunately, those that aren't paying attention don't have a clue anyway.

"Mitt who?"

Sigh.

6. This stuff is important to us but have you had any discussions with Mitt supporters about it?

I haven't heard it discussed at all. Some people probably don't understand it. Others think it is not important.

AND

it short circuits discussions about issues where we would surely win if the issues were presented clearly.

7. It might not be converting many Romney supporters, but it's keeping Romney on the defensive.

Here we are in August, and the Romney campaign is stuck endlessly discussing the very last thing they want to discuss: Mitt's tax returns.

Flashback to August 2004, when we had a fine and honorable Democratic candidate stuck doing nothing else but denying slanderous attacks on his combat record.

There's not much question in my mind that Republican political strategists sure wish they could trade this August for that August, and that this controversy-that-will-not-die is hurting Republican prospects.

8. I did like the way the reporters seemed to be DEMANDING a repudiation from the President

and Carney just wouldn't do it. He put the President above the battle and it really pissed off the reporters.

I don't know if the voters notice or hear about any of this, but it did entertain me.

Thanks for the OP
