Mitt Romney: Obama can’t handle the truth
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/us_politics/view.bg?articleid=1339038&srvc=rss

Former Bay State Gov. Mitt Romney fired back at President Obama for barring the Herald from full access to the presidential visit to Boston yesterday, saying the commander-in-chief’s “retribution” against the media has no place in the White House.

“The media has a responsibility to be truthful and to be interesting, and the Herald is both of those things,” Romney said last night. “The president barring the Herald from attending a presidential event flies in the face of the spirit of the First Amendment.”

The White House blocked the Herald from being part of the press pool at yesterday’s Hub fund-raiser, citing the front-page treatment the paper gave to an opinion piece by Romney criticizing the president’s economic policies the last time Obama was in town.

“I know the president and the White House are very sensitive about anyone who talks about the failures in the economy,” Romney said. “They’re in denial about putting people out of work and the under-employed. When the Herald speaks the truth, they lash out.”

22. Gotta be...
1. His plastic appearance.
2. His flip-flopping on serious issues.

The two issues actually tie directly into each other. He looks fake AND he lacks substance thanks to the constant flip-flopping.

2. He is just bitter because he does not have a chance at being Prez
either, along with the rest of that wretched bunch of hack pukes.

Mit, Obama will beat your ass.

5. How many newspapers give front page status for an opinion piece?
Especially for someone with a political agenda? They deserved to be barred.

6. I remember
when he didn't speak out against Bush's "retribution" against the press (and pretty much anybody whom disagreed with him). "Free speech zones" anybody?

11. Romney has no standing to complain.
All he did was bash and belittle Massachusetts while he was governor.

He will never be president.

12. Obama can't win
He either is too tough by denying access or not tough enough by allowing access.

14. Romney's right
or at least, he's on the right side on this, right now. I could easily see Romney doing the same thing.

17. No actually he is not. Front page is for news, not opinion. You put opinion on your front page
you are no longer a legitimate newspaper. That is what the editorial page is for.

18. If this clown or any other repuke becomes president...
I'm moving out of this country. Thankfully, I think Obama will win by a landslide in 2012. Keep those fingers crossed.

19. Oh, Mitt.
Your bitterness over the fact that you know that a) You will never be President and b) President Obama is a hundred times the man you are on your best day must eat at you. If I didn't hate your stinking guts so much I might feel sorry for you.

the Jews did not establish a colony here eons ago and Momonism is a fraud.
