Mitt Romney Pumps His Own Gas



Looks Romney has finally accepted his fate. Gone are all the trimmings of being presidential candidate. I read somewhere that he had rented a building in Washington D.C. to move there until he was sworn in as president in January 2013.

Joss Whedon Endorses Mitt Romney

Joss Whedon is an accomplished film-maker and producer. In 2008 he endorsed Obama but this time he has chosen to endorse Romney. It is a heartfelt endorsement but Romney may not like it. Watch the following video and you be the judge.



"Like a lot of liberal Americans, I was excited when Barack Obama took office four years ago. But it's a very different world now, and Mitt Romney is a very different candidate. One with the vision and determination to cut through business-as-usual politics and finally put this country back on the path to the zombie apocalypse." - Joss Whedon

Mitt Romney Foreign Policy Debate

It was clear that Barack Obama won the foreign policy debate - Obama knew the issues, Romney did not. On military spending, Obama showed that Romney was stuck in a 1916 mentality focussing on buying more battleships, when modern warfare is much more complicated with new technologies.

On geography, Romney said Syria was Iran's access to the sea. Really? Iran is coastal and doesn't even border Syria. Can't Romney look at a map?



Republican spin doctors were saying Americans don't care about foreign policy that much, a clear admission that their guy lost the debate.

Second Presidential Debate - Who's the Real Romney

Finally, Obama decided to debate, and he was good. There seemed a general sense that Obama had the edge in this debate as he called out Romney's lies - on policies to increase military spending while slashing taxes for the rich, something that would dig America into an even bigger debt, the same Bush policies that got America into the fiscal mess it is in now.

On women, Romney's "binders full of women" statement is becoming emblematic of a Republican Party deaf to the voices of American women.

On Libya, Romney was fact-checked... by the moderator. Romney questioned Obama that he did not say the word "terrorist" on the occasion of the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Romney was persistent in this accusation. It was then that the moderator stepped in and said that Obama indeed used those words from the Whitehouse. This was a very embarrassing moment for Romney.



After a disasterous first debate, Obama has redeemed himself and exposed Romney's inconsistent statements, unrealistic policies, and his true interests in helping the rich get richer while ignoring the rest.

Big Bird on SNL

He is famous now. He does not want to react to Romney’s remarks because he does not want to “ruffle any feathers.”:)

Barack Obama and Mitt Romney Presidential Debate



There seems a near consensus, Romney won the debate. Obama looked nervous, uncomfortable; Romney calm, on message. Romney may have been overtly flip-flopping on issues like Obamacare and tax cuts - sounding very different than he did in the Republican primary - but somehow Obama wasn't quite able to get the point across.

On the substance of it, Obama has the facts on his side: Romney is repeating the Bush policy of tax cuts that balloon deficits, his VP Paul Ryan authored a budget that would gut America's limited system of public healthcare. Romney's policies would be destructive to middle-class Americans.

But on the style, on the rhetoric, Romney won the day. Hopefully this isn't a sign of what's to happen on election day.

Mitt Romney Vs. Big Bird

Mitt Romney said during last night’s debate ( October 3, 2012):

"I love Big Bird. I actually like you too," he said to PBS moderator Jim Lehrer, "but I'm going to stop borrowing money from China to pay for things we don't need."

Big Bird Tweeted:

"Look what Mitt Romney has done to me... twitpic.com/b0syqt"

.... and Big Bird tweeted again:

"Every child who grew up with me is going to bed tonight with their middle finger pointing towards Cayman Islands. #debates #SupportBigBird"

Mitt Romney's Garbage Man Trashes Mitt



The fallout from Romney’s remarks about ‘47%’ continues. Romney’s Garbage Man gives it to him.

“My name is Richard Hayes, and I pick up Mitt Romney's trash. We're kind of like the invisible people. He doesn't realize that the service we provide -- if it wasn't for us, it would be a big health issue, us not picking up trash.
Residents do come out and shake our hands. Sometimes they give us hugs and thank us for the job we're doing, hand us water and Gatorades. Tell us we're doing a good job and keep up the good work. Picking up 15, 16 tons by hand, that takes a toll on your body. When I'm 55, 60 years old, I know my body's gonna be break down [sic]. Mitt Romney doesn't care about that.”
