Oye. Mitt: Obama Plays Too Much Golf, Too Many Vacations

I imagine the romneys would go to Camp David to deflect on their tough decision on which house to go to.

Mitt: Obama Plays Too Much Golf

Mitt Romney isn’t afraid to get personal—about President Obama’s golf game. The presumptive GOP nominee took a verbal five-iron at the president Wednesday, criticizing him for playing golf and taking family vacations. "I would think you could kind of suck it up for four years, particularly when the American people are out of work," Romney said of the president's vacation schedule. Romney wondered why the Obamas have to go to Hawaii, where the president was born, so often. If elected president, Romney said that he and his family would make greater use of Camp David, close to D.C.

My problem with Mittens is not his wealth really. It is his attitude to those without. One can be extremely rich and still care about the poor.

least come up with something original that he thought up himself. Mitt has no idea of the flaws he has (that I hope President Obama) will shed some light on before this election is over. The flip/flopper of all time, and he should win an award for it actually.

Mitt why don't you just make up some statistics to go along with this story? Just
like Mitt's lie that women accounted for 92% of all the job losses during the Obama
administration.

Mitt just makes this shit up and is not bothered by the truth.

Presumably you can access your Swiss bank account from Camp David so everything is good, eh Mitt?

What would Mitt know about "sucking it up?" Is that what happened when he was forced to live off investment income while he was a graduate student?
