3 months ago
In his first extensive interview since losing the Presidential election to Barack Obama, Mitt Romney told Chris Matthews this morning that he only has himself to blame for not taking the White House.
“I lost my election because of my campaign,” Romney said on Fox News Sunday. “Not because of what anyone else did.”
Mitt Romney on Fox News SundayRomney cited his failure to win over African-American and Hispanic voters, while also zeroing in on his “47 percent” comments as being detrimental to his bid.

Romney Final Vote Total: 47 Percent!
5 months ago
Mitt Romney’s final vote total in the 2012 presidential election has been tallied, and the Republican challenger received – wait for it – 47 percent of the vote.
Yes, it took this entire time to finalize it (you just didn’t hear about it because it wasn’t close), and Romney came in almost exactly at the 47 percent figure.
47.2 percent to be exact.
Many will find the number appropriate and ironic, as Romney made waves when a secret video of him talking with donors surfaced late in the campaign season.
In the 47 percent video, he said that segment of the country would never vote

Mr. Burns Endorses Mitt Romney for President
7 months ago
With polls tight around the nation, and with the election mere days away, Mitt Romney can take comfort in the new endorsement of a beloved billionaire.
No, not Donald Trump.
C. Montgomery Burns!
The power plant mogul has released a new campaign ad in which he explains that he isn’t concerned about the “47 percent” tape or “the tax returns that Wesley Snipe would call suspicious.” What single Romney-related topic does give Burns pause?
And how will he solve it for the voters? Watch now:

Mitt Romney Staples Scandal: Candidate Accused of Lying Under Oath to Protect Friend’s Fortune
7 months ago
For all his ridiculous muster, Donald Trump didn’t actually break any news with his supposed Barack Obama bombshell today.
But Gloria Allred may have uncovered something sordid about Mitt Romney, and it’s all based on a testimony the candidate many years ago involving Staples founder Tom Stemberg and his first wife, Maureen.
According to TMZ sources, Maureen alleges that Romney lied under oath when he told a judge Staples was worth noting, labeling the company’s stock as “overvalued” and concluding that he doesn’t place a “great deal of credibility in the forecast of the

Donald Trump Promises to Drop "Gigantic" Bombshell on Obama Campaign Wednesday
7 months ago
Move over, Gloria Allred. Donald Trump will see your “October surprise” and raise you “gigantic” bombshell about President Barack Obama, which he plans to drop mid-week.
Trump claims whatever he has on the Prez “could swing the election.”
The die hard Republican, who considered running against Obama himself at one point, is planning to reveal the shocker via Twitter at some point on Wednesday, he told Fox News.
What is it, exactly?!
Think about “something very, very big concerning the president of the United States. It’s going to be very big. I know one thing – you will

Romnesia: Obama Coins Name For Romney "Condition"
8 months ago
At a rally Friday, President Barack Obama derided what he calls Mitt Romney’s effort to showcase more moderate positions of late, labeling it a case of “Romnesia.”
“We have got to name this condition he is going through. I think it is called Romnesia. I think that’s what it is called,” said Obama, fighting for his political life.
“Now I’m not a medical doctor. But I do want to go over some of the symptoms with you because I want to make sure nobody else catches it.”
And so he did, in Jeff Foxworthy-esque fashion:

Madonna Loves That "Black Muslim in the White House"
8 months ago
Madonna certainly keeps things lively. At her concert in D.C. this week, she discussed how amazing it is that we have a “black Muslim in the White House” who’s for gay rights.
This is a supporter of the President who rocks an Obama tattoo.
Madonna Calls Obama a MuslimIt’s possible, even likely, that Madonna was mocking those who actually think Barack Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya. Then again, birthers aren’t known to appreciate irony.
Better (or worse) yet? Madonna promised to get nude if Obama wins in November! Somewhere, Mitt Romney is getting ready to send out a

From leading the free world at the United Nations General Assembly to leading a political discussion on The View, President Barack Obama had quite an eventful day.
He and First Lady Michelle Obama sat down with the ABC show’s panel today and contrasted his and challenger Mitt Romney‘s differing views on tax policy:

Mitt Romney 2011 Tax Returns: Released!
9 months ago
Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann Romney, released their 2011 tax returns today. Spoiler alerts: They’re still really rich, and Democrats will call for him to release more!
They paid $1.94 million in federal income taxes on income of $13.7 million, most of it from investments, for an effective tax rate of 14.1 percent, his campaign said.
That’s slightly above the 13.9 percent rate the couple paid for 2010.
The Republican presidential candidate’s taxes have emerged as an ongoing issue in the 2012 election, as he has declined to release any returns filed before 2010.

Eddie Vedder Performs at Obama Fundraiser, Calls Mitt Romney Comments "Upsetting"
9 months ago
Eddie Vedder clearly thinks you can’t find a better man than Barack Obama for President … or at least that he’s a better man for the job than Mitt Romney.
Performing a set of songs at a campaign fundraiser for Obama in South Tampa last night, the Pearl Jam frontman bashed Romney’s 47 percent comments.
“It’s very upsetting to hear a presidential candidate be so easily dismissive of such a ginormous amount of the population,” Vedder told the audience.
Vedder helped raise $1.7 million Thursday for Obama’s reelection campaign, playing four songs for the president and 85 guests at a

Mitt Romney on Obama Voters: Entitled Losers!
9 months ago
A secretly recorded video has emerged in which Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney can be heard apparently disparaging voters – specifically those who support President Barack Obama – at a private dinner with donors.
The GOP nominee can be heard (and seen, albeit far away) positing that “47 percent” of Americans do not pay any income taxes, consider themselves victims, feel entitled to handouts and would never even think about voting for him anyway.
“I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives,” Romney says of Obama’s “huge

Kanye West Raps to Mitt Romney: Pay Your Taxes!

Poor Mitt Romney.
First, it comes out that Nicki Minaj is actually not voting for him in November. Now, in the track “To the World” (off the compilation album “Cruel Summer”), Kanye West takes a shot at the Republican nominee for President by hitting him where it counts:
In Romney’s tax returns.
“Mitt Romney don’t pay no tax,” West decrees in a line from the single, following that quip with: “Mitt Romney don’t pay no tax.”
Yes, again. We think he has a point he wants to make. Listen for yourself:
This isn’t the only time West has been critical of someone
