The funniest thing I've heard all election season was WilLIARd Rmoney bawling for the

whole (secret) tape to be shown. Thnk about it - he and his goons selectively edited the Obama comments about how both the government and citizens help to build businesses. They also cut a clip about a McGramps quote that Obama had repeated.

Think about it - he can take any clip he wants from Obama and make it his campaign theme or produce lying ads about Obama, but you had better listen to his entire tape for context.
The best joke is that the more of his tape you hear is the more you realize he is up shit creek without a paddle.

If he were elected he could never serve as a go between or pose as an honest broker in a crisis. And I doubt anyone would trust anybody from his administration in the middle east or anywhere else. From the standpoint of foreign policy he shot himself in the groin on that one.

What? WHAT?

Yeah, the Middle East has been a cluster for hundreds if not thousands of years, but in many ways things are better now than they have ever been in my lifetime, and if we don't start another stupid war I see no reason why things won't be even better in another 30 years.

The American president can do a lot to facilitate positive change, and knowing when to step back is a big part of that. But doing nothing? Kicking the can down the road? The events of the last year have shown us that doing nothing certainly doesn't mean that things will stay the same.

It was yet another gamble and another fuck up on the part of the worst Presidential Candidate team in history.

That's the only reason I can think of for him to say this.

They probably thought that Mother Jones only had a small portion of the tape and was hoping they could claim edited or out of context footage based on the idea that Mother Jones didn't have the whole thing. If they didn't come up with the rest of the video Romney could claim that the whole tape would have vindicated him later when he showed his undying love and support for the downtrodden of Amercia.

I laughed when the guy from Mother Jones said something to the effect of "OK we'll have it up for you this afternoon.
