Another prejudiced older Republican white male?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mitt Romney campaign co-chair and former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu (R) appeared on Fox News on Thursday and took a victory lap following last nights first presidential debate.
Sununu described Obamas performance as babbling, lazy, and disengaged, and dismissed the possibility that he could do better in the future. When youre not that bright you cant get better prepared, he said.
During a separate interview on MSNBC, Sununu doubled down on the characterization. I think you saw him admit it the night before when he delivered the pizzas. He said, you know, theyre making me do this work. He didnt want to prepare for this debate. Hes lazy and disengaged.

There must be no criticism of the Commander in Chief in a time of war.

(5,636 posts)It's great that Sununu said that. It's an insult to undecided voters and Obama supporters. Next he'll be saying how angry Obama is.

(4,310 posts)of Sununu and Willard and slung it right along with them. Seriously, we
would devolve into a third world political joke. The MSM needs to be held
accountable for allowing and encouraging the reality show standards that
have become the norm. Sununu is a repulsive and sickening excuse for
a human being.

(12,287 posts)take it back and asked him if he really meant that the President of the United States was lazy. He repeated it and she looked really disgusted. That seemed too far for even her. That was one big dog whistle.

(22,000 posts)It is race baiting at it's finest. I'd like to see a web ad go up with a collection of the quotes these two have made this year.
Then use the line "Mitt Romney, what a guy!"

(4,551 posts)I'll see if I can find it - I watched it a few days ago. Not sure if it was Maddow, Ed Shultz or Lawrence O'Donnell.
Gingrich was the worst offender. There was a series of clips where he used the following words about Obama: basketball, lazy, rhythm, etc. Over and over again.
