Mittens meet the people bus tour

[wgrr]

He is just like us regular joe's riding around in his campaign bus, across the great USA, stopping to talk with people just like him.

Except he keeps his bus strapped on the roof of his private jet and hoses it down if it soils itself so he can hop into it and get down with his peeps.



Just being funny. I know most all political bus tours are the same with the candidate flying from stop to stop to "catch the bus".

Those are one hell of a pair of Air Force straps!

Well, we are all going to be in the 1% some day......

You didn't know that?

Vote for Mitt and become a Billionaire! Who wouldn't support that?

Apparently the mittster is having a problem with GOP governors. He is bussing around the country saying how bad things are. Meanwhile the GOP governors, trying to boost their ratings, are touting the number of jobs that were created. In truth most of those jobs were created with Stimulus money.

Support for said governors is taking a big hit simply because they are spending all their political capital on social issues (e.g., Snyder in MI, McDonnell in VA, etc.) and not the economy.

People from his campaign have even approached Scott (Fla) and Kasich (Oh) and told them to stop bragging about the economic improvements in their states. These are the traditional "battleground states" and if the voters think things are looking up they'll be less likely to want to replace Obama.

Mittens is a sociopath and a liar.

Romney Campaign Said to Ask Scott to Downplay Job Gains
By Michael C. Bender - Jun 21, 2012

Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign asked Florida Governor Rick Scott to tone down his statements heralding improvements in the state’s economy because they clash with the presumptive Republican nominee’s message that the nation is suffering under President Barack Obama, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Scott, a Republican, was asked to say that the state’s jobless rate could improve faster under a Romney presidency, according to the people, who asked not to be named.

What’s unfolding in Florida highlights a dilemma for the Romney campaign: how to allow Republican governors to take credit for economic improvements in their states while faulting Obama’s stewardship of the national economy. Republican governors in Ohio, Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin also have highlighted improving economies.

Scott should follow the advice of the Romney campaign and it won’t undermine his own message, said Mac Stipanovich, a political strategist and lobbyist in Florida.

“This is one of those situations where you could have it both ways and there’s enough truth in it that it would resonate,” Stipanovich said. “It would be better if everybody was singing from the same hymnal.”

That was the first part, here is the whole Bloomberg article

I like the new line of bull one about trying to shame Obama for not passing the Dream act 2 years ago.

These governor are, or will be, running for reelection. They have to brag about the improving economy in their states if they expect to win.

Willard wants them to continue the ads, but add that the recovery would have happened much faster if he had been elected in 2008. The man is pitiful.

I read that on Republican pundit thought Kasich's ad was an Obama ad, when he first saw it.

Good stuff here:

The black-and-white cows lumbering behind Mitt Romney during his sit-down with Bob Schieffer last Sunday on Face the Nation actually feed off the same big government the presidential candidate spent much of the interview deriding. When Romney told Schieffer that “the only solution to taming an out-of-control spending government is to cut spending,” the bovines in the background could be forgiven for worrying....


Despite their cows’ starring role on the CBS set, the Zucks were never invited to join the Saturday afternoon taping. In fact, Romney never actually set foot on the farm, even though it was billed as a farm visit. Instead he sat in the front yard of Dave and Ceal Bamberger, who own a car-repair and heating-oil delivery company, and whose house is across the way from the Zuck farm. The Bambergers’ son-in-law, Mark Thomas, is the Cornwall Borough Mayor, and Romney’s staff reached out to him for tips on a good secluded location. He picked his in-laws’ house.

“It seemed like a closed set,” Karen Zuck said. “We watched the bus back in and the Secret Service was there on the Bamberger yard.” Since they were at church the next morning when the interview aired, the Zucks never saw their cows’ star turn.

The awkward staging was reminiscent of Romney’s April appearance at an empty Ohio factory that, it turned out, had closed seven months before Obama took office. Or his February rally at Detroit’s 65,000-seat Ford Field, before an audience of about 1000 people.
