Two trolls have already trolled the topic but missed the facts that point out the misworking of our media.

The Long Strange Leak Of Mitt Romney's 47% Video (http://www.buzzfeed.com/bensmith/the-long-strange-leak-of-mitt-romneys-47-video)
On May 17, Mitt Romney spoke bluntly at a fundraiser at the home of a private equity executive in Boca Raton. Someone recorded him speaking, and that unexploded digital ordnance lay around the 2012 campaign until Monday, when it erupted under Romney's campaign. Its emergence offers a glimpse at the workings of the contemporary media: Chaotically driven by an anonymous leaker; empowered by ubiquitous recording devices; and competing not just with other media outlets, but with the source him or herself....

It's all about deflection.

So Mitt really hasn't said any of those weird things?

The problem just might be Romney's advisors. Why would his advisors call him and say "quick, hold a 10PM press conference to say you didn't mean this blah-blah"...when the best thing to do would have been to just ignore it and sluff it off like Obama does and when asked about it later, redirect the question...agian like Obama does..

The deflection is in calling it weird, making a mountain out of a squirrelhill.


Agree with coolwalker though, the Romney camp should have ignored it as well.

I was shocked to learn that President Carter's grandson is a conservative. Why else would he have released a video to help Gov. Romney.

What were called "dirty tricks" in the Nixon era, are today SOP for the Obama administration.

And Romney is too sensitive. He should have jumped on it as exactly what it was, a violation of his privacy and an underhanded dirty campaign tactic....


But then what do you expect from a sociopath like Obama?
