Romney Says Obama Didn't Earn House
Booman Tribune —
Mitt Romney is a dick who hires undocumented workers to tend to his lawn . He should not say that Barack Obama did not earn the money he used to buy his house because that is a lie. Mitt Romney should hope he does not get selected to be McCain's running mate because he will get humiliated and become the new watchword for 'ridiculous politician'. The idea that John McCain earned his fortune through hard work is offensive. John McCain dumped his disfigured wife for a 24-year old heiress. He never worked a day for the beer distributorship that made him silly rich. The ...
The Real Question Of Judgment
Open Left - Front Page —
Likely Republican Vice-Presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, earlier today:
"Barack is a fine person, but I don't think he's ready to be president," he said.
Mitt Romney on Bush, eight months ago:
"[W]e also love a president who has kept us safe these last six years."
This seems like an easy attack ad on judgment. Does someone who thinks George Bush is a good President have the judgment to become a good President, or even determine who would be a good President? Nope, but I will take their criticism as a ...

"Hard Work"
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
... Mitt Romney is a bad thug, which is why he'd be a fatal choice for McCain. And so it was rather bizarre to hear him say that John McCain deserves all his houses/mansions/compounds because of the "hard work" of McCain and his wife. But McCain, to my knowledge, has never had a private sector job - unless you count working for his father-in-law - and his wife is a largely absentee heiress to her father's beer fortune. They inherited their fabulous life-style, and did nothing to earn it, unlike Mitt. Romney, McCain and Bush were all products of the affirmative ...

Has Romney Lost His Marbles Entirely? Or Is He Just Trying To Prove He'll Say Anything If McCain Makes Him The Running Mate?
DownWithTyranny! —
... So Willard's in Denver trying to stir up trouble and get the corporate media to focus on him instead of the Convention. Yesterday he came up with a real doozy: he not only made the preposterous claim that McCain earned the dozen or so homes he owns, but that Obama didn't "earn" the house he and his family live in. Of course in the rarefied world of a vulture capitalist, English is never the kind of English ordinary folks speak, so who knows what Romney is talking about? ...

Smear-Hurling Romney Gets It All Backwards on Obama, McCain, and the House Flap
The Moderate Voice —
From yesterday’s Boston Globe:
Romney: McCain earned his homes; Obama didn’t
Yes, Romney really is a twisted partisan fool.
In a speech yesterday in Denver — of course! — he claimed that while McCain deserved all his houses because of his and his family’s “hard work,” Obama “got a special deal from a convicted felon.” That “convicted felon” is Tony Rezko — and the GOP Smear Machine, of which Romney is a willing part, is playing the Rezko card hard these days ...
Mittens: McCain earned all 10 homes, Obama earned none
Daily Kos —
... A big tip of the hat to aspiring VP (and real estate expert) Mitt Romney for pitching in yesterday to help prolong the national discussion about John McCain's four seven eight ten superabundance of homes.

Romney defines 'hard work'
Political Animal —
... counterinsurgency doctrine. And yesterday, Romney defended McCain's house flap from last week in the oddest way possible . Former governor Mitt Romney, perhaps continuing his audition to be John McCain's running mate, attacked Barack Obama today for making an issue out of McCain's many homes. Speaking to reporters at a lunch sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, Romney said that while McCain deserved his houses because of the "hard work" of himself and his family, "Barack Obama got a special deal from a convicted felon." Romney's wrong on both counts. Obama didn't get ...
