Mitt "Mr. 47 Percent" Romney whines that President Obama is being mean to Republicans

Romney Slams Obama Over Sequestration (VIDEO)

In his first post-election interview that will air Sunday morning on Fox News, former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said President Barack Obama has flopped in his handling of the sequestration debate.

Romney criticized Obama for being caught off guard by the sequestration deadline and for "berating" Republicans during the budget debate.

"Well, no one can think that's been a success for the President. He didn't think the sequester would happen. It is happening," Romney said. "But to date, what we've seen is the President out campaigning to the American people, doing rallies around the country, flying around the country, and berating Republicans. And blaming and pointing. Now what does that do? That causes the Republicans to retrench and then put up a wall and fight back. It's a very natural human emotion."

Rmoney gives every indication, in my estimation, of a guy who thinks he so deserves to be President that he needs another chance.

He's run how many times? He was a governor of Massachusetts for two years and the rest of that time he was running for POTUS in 06-08.

He's lost races several times now. He has mud on his face, and he just has too much baggage to run again.

In addition to that he's just creepy and fake.

If retrenching is "a very natural human emotion", isn't that evidence they have unnatural or inhuman emotions the rest of the time?

'Cause they've been acting like this since Day 1.

"obama is giving repubs what they want, how is that being mean?"

...projecting. I mean, if he's "giving repubs what they want," maybe they're mad because something is preventing them from accepting it.

and promote his policies. It's unprecedented, I tell ya, just unprecedented.

"Next week, I (President George W. Bush) will travel to New Mexico, Nebraska and Indiana to address the nation's hardworking, small business owners, families and investors. My message to them will be simple: the surest way to grow this economy and create jobs is to leave more money in the hands of the people who earn it.
I urge every citizen to participate in this important debate and to make your voice heard. Explain to your local representative or your senators what tax relief would mean to your family and your business, and please tell the members of Congress why our economy needs that relief now." May 10, 2003

Of course, it is true that Democrats put up a wall and fought back. The 2nd round of the Bush tax cuts had to be passed by the unprecedented step of reconciliation and passed the Senate by a vote of 51-50 with every single Democrat voting NO.

too bad though that almost all of them voted to make 85% of those tax cuts permanent.
