While stumping in Virginia today, the President coined a new term which I suspect will soon find its way into the political lexicon. Romnesia.
Closely linked to amnesia, there is a major difference between the two. While amnesia inflicts an individual with memory loss, Romnesia hopes to inflict others with memory loss.
He has every position on every subject covered because he will flip and flop from whatever position he had to whatever position will gain him something. The man has only a single core belief and that is self enrichment at the cost of everyone else in society.
The Prez has the timing of a standup comic! He’s so good! Hope that phrase does catch on big time in the days remaining before the election because its the perfect description of Mitt’s ever changing belief system.
I have to comment on the Alfred E Smith Dinner last night. I watched the one in 2008, with McCain and Obama – both men poked more fun at themselves than they did at each other. Both men were very gracious in the ending comments directed to each other.
Last night was very different. Yes, we know that the President is good at this sort of thing – and he was the same as last time – more jokes directed to towards himself, etc. His comedic timing is very good. Nice parting comments to Romney.
Mittens evidently had it confused with one of those roasts seen on The Comedy Channel. Other than a couple of jokes about how rich he was and how he didn’t drink (they were not bad) – the rest was directed straight to Obama – and his “gracious” parting comments seemed extremely limited and insincere. This man is just ugly. It made Senator McCain look very good.
@Cheryl. I agree. Romney came off like the viscous, little man that he is. Very ugly, I thought…especially the part where he ‘joked’ about the press choosing to not report on his wonderful, ‘detailed’ economic plan. In truth, the media would love to report on his plan…if he had one.
Romney came off like the viscous, little man that he is.
Mario, although I really think you meant to call Romney “vicious”, your typographical Freudian slip is quite apt. “Viscous” is a very appropriate term to apply to the Republican candidate. A number of others come to mind: oleaginious, pinguescent, cereous, saponaceous, butyraceous.
When I was eighteen or so, my paternal uncle, a Catholic priest, was elevated to the rank of Monsignor*. I went** to the dinner his parish gave to celebrate the event, and, after hearing all the fulsome praise heaped upon this man whose family members knew him as a bitter, cynical and downright nasty man, I described the event as a sacrament of extreme unctuousness.
*Monsignior is a rank of the Catholic church above ordinary priest but below a bishop and is usually bestowed for nothing more than time-serving. It translates as “my lord”, and comes from the usual reaction of the colleagues of one elevated to that rank: “My Lord! Why him?”
Yeah, Karen…how about them apples? Loved the title…TOO MANY to keep track of.
Imagine…Utah Blue…my only complaint is that they too have left out the inconvenient fact that
Mitt got the Olympics rescued in part by US, to the tune of millions of taxpayer dollars, just like we did for BAIN.

Romnesia can be severe and dangerous and catching for Democrats like me ……. tiny red dollar-signs breaking out on my tummy ….visions of Paul Ryan staring at me with those goggle eyes late at night, thoughts of Westboro baptist church people camping out in my backyard constantly asking to use the toilet.

I believe that Mitts case of romnesia is so severe that even He doesn’t know why he wants to be president.

Exactly what I intended to say!
This just in from Ari Melber on The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell:
Yes, folks, when it comes to indiscriminate foxing around, abstinence is the best method after all.
It appears the Salt Lake Tribune agrees with Obama’s assessment. They have endorsed Obama.
Wow.
Wow, Diana. The writer for the SLT got it right.
I’m going to be curious as to how Romney responds to this – surely he’ll be asked.
OMG — Miracles do happen!!
