The headline story on Fox News now is “Romney Answers The Tax Question.” What Fox regards as an answer is curious. The article reports that Romney is remaining obstinate following “months of calls for him to release his returns, including from some top Republicans,” so apparently the answer is “Go F@$k Yourself.”
Fox characterized Romney’s remarks as “his most expansive answer yet,” but Romney merely claimed, without offering any proof, that he has “never paid less than 13 percent” in taxes over the last 10 years. He promised to provide evidence of that to ABC News in an interview a couple of weeks ago, but has still not kept that promise.
Romney also held a Glenn Beck-like seminar, complete with a white board, to attempt to explain his position on Medicare. It was a typically substanceless waste of time wherein Romney simply wrote down that he was good and that Obama was bad. I’m glad he cleared that up because otherwise I might not have known where he stood.
I thought I’d have a bit of fun with Romney’s white board:
And if you’d like to play along at home, here is a blank white board that you can use to create your own Romney White Board memes. Be sure to let me know if you post these on Facebook or elsewhere so I can link to them.
One should read “Step 1.” where he writes “Seniors” and “Step 3.” where he wrote “Next Gen” followed by “Underpants” and “Profits” on the Romney side. Classic Underpants Gnomes reference with the same amount of detail as Romneys plan…
Excellent and informative article accompanied by funny graphics, again!
Thanks.
Just how condescending is this crap about spelling things out for us on a blackboard (or whiteboard), are we so gullible that points made on a blackboard are more true or understandable than if they are simply spoken, are we still in the second-grade under the influence of elementary school teachers?
I think Romney’s handlers believe we are indeed greatly influenced this way, because they think we are indeed idiots.
Can you imagine FDR writing out on a chalkboard “We have nothing to fear but fear itself!”
Or JFK suddenly rolling out a chalkboard at his inauguration, “Now watch closely my fellow Americans” as he writes out “Ask not what your country can do for you…”
Or President Lincoln at Gettysburg, wrapping up his immortal address to us, with “government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
On a chalkboard?
Perhaps they think that having things spelled out on a blackboard makes it more understandable because THEY understand things better that way. It really is very juvenile.
I believe he is stealing Glenn Beck’s props. Once he starts wearing clear eyeglasses to look smart, he will have gone full tilt!
I took the challenge
HA! Awesome. Thanks for taking the challenge.
Nice touch with the “Rmoney” mispelling, btw. Did you see this?
