by Jed Lewison
About four minutes into his interview this morning with CBS's Gayle King and Anthony Mason, Mitt Romney finally admitted what's really bothering him about the 2012 campaign:
The president's campaign has put out a campaign that's talking about me and attacking me. I think it's just demeaning to the nature of the process, particularly when we face the kinds of challenges we face.
Boo hoo, poor Mitt, pissed off that his opponent would dare talk about him. How rude. Doesn't Obamaland know that you're not allowed to criticize Cranbrook's finest graduate? Don't they realize that if you're not telling Mr. Bain that he's God's gift to the American economy that you've crossed a line?
What a whiney little glass-jawed brat.
...Oh, and the Obama campaign isn't just about attacking Mitt Romney. They are also talking about the president's accomplishments. Like killing bin Laden. And saving the auto industry. Which Mitt took credit for.

(1,374 posts)The entire Romney campaign is based on lying about Obama. And he complains that he's getting attacked? Does he hope to get votes out of sympathy? Pathetic!
You're running for president Mitt. We're not just going to hand you the country because you think you deserve it without scrutiny.

(2,940 posts)Seriously, what did he expect? That the Democrats would bow down and concede?
If he can't handle people talking about him, he REALLY shouldn't be President. He should go back to being a CEO if he needs people to suck up to him and kiss his feet or whatever. Wimp, indeed.

(33,688 posts)This coddled, arrogant shitheel, who has never had anything said to him but "yes, boss, you're so right boss, brilliant, boss" is getting a taste of bare-knuckle real world politics.
He's lucky he's running against the gentlemanly Obama. LBJ would have pounded him into a pile of mulch on the LBJ Ranch by now and had his (non-dancing) horses poop on the pile.

(108,994 posts)So he needs to be President of the United States here, AT LEAST, in order to get practice.
Don't we understand that?
Why are we talking about him? Why are we attacking him? He's the future god of a planet. That's all we need to know.
If ever there was a religion designed to appeal to a man's worst narcissism . . . .
