Romney tells Obama to 'start packing' in interview with Diane Sawyer

[Zorro]

Source: ABC News

Acting very much like the Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney sent a curt message to President Barack Obama today: "Start packing."

The message, delivered with a chuckle, came in an exclusive interview with "World News" anchor Diane Sawyer who asked the presumptive GOP nominee if he had something to say to the president.

Romney said Obama's "policies have not helped the American people. They have not helped get jobs, they have not helped raise incomes and they've added trillions of dollars of debt."

He was backed by his wife of 43 years, Ann Romney, who told Sawyer she also had a message for Obama. "I believe it's... Mitt's time... It's our turn now," she said.

[Angry Dragon]

1. You know how it is with Willard

he just wants another house


I wonder if he will tear this one down also

[asjr]

2. Their arrogance is front and center.

[olddad56]

35. Amen, I'm thinking Narcissistic Personality Disorder

[FrenchieCat]

3. Measuring the drapes, are they????

although I'm sure they'll have some hired hand do that too!

They sure are pushy and like to give orders, don't they?

[orpupilofnature57]

4. A scared used car salesman

No offense to used car salesmen .

[RKP5637]

6. +1, n/t

[KamaAina]

5. At least he'd have Bo inside the car

[Lex]

9. This is it.

Yes he would.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

7. Imagine if Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. had said this...

Just imagine!!

[Cosmocat]

40. Oh, he would PERMANENTLY be negative defined by it

arrogant, cocky, un-presidential.

EVERY election where the Ds are set to make gains, the Rs ball about how "THE Ds ARE MEASURING THE CURTINS!"

EVERY darn time they spew that line, and the "liberal press" breathlessly confronts every D it gets its hands on with it ...

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

47. Its drives me up the fucking wall how the Rethugs get away with it and the Corporate Media doesn't

do ANYTHING to hold them accountable!

[applegrove]

8. Reminds me when Jean Chretien said to PM Brian Mulrooney "Brian, Brian do not adjust your tv set"

as a quip which garnered him the love of canadians during a leadership speeches. He lost that leadership race but won a few years later and became Prime Minister. Chretien mangled language but was incredible with the one liners and such. They always painted a astoundingly clear picture. Mitt's quip today seems very chretien-like to me.

[adigal]

42. So you think Romney is incredible and funny with the language??

I think he is a dolt.

[applegrove]

43. I did not see the clip of him saying that. I worry because Romney is not funny. He has

somebody new writing him quips.

[adigal]

44. When unscripted, he is a disaster. foot in mouth

I don't worry about the poor.
I will bet you 10,000 dollars, etc., etc.

He just doesn't understand what is normal and what is offensive. His mouth will lose him the presidency.

[Lex]

10. His arrogance

will be his undoing. I still can't wait to see what huge gaffe he makes that will totally sink him. It's just waiting to happen.

[kestrel91316]

22. I dunno, he's made so many already he's gotta be clean out of gaffes.

[tinrobot]

26. He has a few left over there - behind the car elevators.

[freshwest]

11. Freeperville will go for Romney now that he's gone all John Wayne-ish on Obama.

They won't be able to resist this dog whistle.

The rough, tough cream puffs will unite behind him.

Wait for it.

[C_U_L8R]

12. Obama's packin' alright

and its gonna knock Willard right off his feet with
an overwhelming barrage powered by all of us.
Richie Rich is gonna be sent home crying.

[Voice for Peace]

24. I think Mitt as candidate is going to REALLY motivate

young people especially to come out and work for Obama's
re-election. In the past 3.5 years I believe so many more
have been paying attention and getting educated. Occupy
has helped make this happen. So much at stake this time.

[bathroommonkey76]

13. When Rmoney loses he should promise the America people that him and his wife will strap

themselves to their car roof for a 70 mile loser parade. I'm sure Seamus agrees with me.

[trusty elf]

30. ...

[AllyCat]

38. I forgot about those little Dumbya flags!! Awesome! (Except for the cat getting run over part)

[trusty elf]

41. I can see how you wouldn't appreciate the cat getting squashed.... :-D

It's a stuffed one-no actual cats were harmed in the making of this pic.

[savannah43]

14. So say Dumb and Dumber.

If arrogance was what they needed to win, they would win.

[deacon]

15. Shouldn't Ann be out looking for a job? n/t

[FrenchieCat]

16. Haven't you heard...?

She's still raising her sons who range from 33 to 41 years of age!
She's still a stay at home Mom......just that the kids have been gone
for like 15 years+!

[jimlup]

17. I find that I like the guy less and less each time I see him

What an ass.

[Lex]

23. So do the Republicans.

The more they get to know him, the less they will like him.

[Thrill]

18. Entitlement and Arrogance

Its their turn now?

Favorability should continue to go down

[emulatorloo]

19. Did they bother to fact check his lies?

[MrModerate]

20. A Romney Entitlement program . . .

would cost the country a hundred times more than all other "entitlement" programs put together.

[kestrel91316]

21. Mitt is a presumptuous, egotistical, smug jackass.

And he's got a lot of nerve.

He needs his sorry 1% ass kicked to the curb in November just for that remark alone.

[saras]

25. It sounds like he's got a lot of confidence in those voting machines...

[Tom Ripley]

27. Stay classy, Willard

[TlalocW]

28. I like how he talked about how we don't divide in this country

Because we're one nation under God.

Of course, he has to throw that (and other religious stuff) out there to try and get the religious nutjobs on his side, but it's just another one of his, "I say this is true then 3 seconds later say something else is true," instances he's so good at.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

29. the article should read: "presumptuous GOP nominee" n/t

[cstanleytech]

31. How odd, I could have sworn he hasnt been able to get much passed regarding the economy because

the GOP has been stonewalling 99% of his proposals.
Perhaps Mitt just "forgot" that.....you know, on accident.
Just like how he forgot he believed being a stay at home mothers isnt work but now he thinks it is when it comes to his wife.

[goclark]

32. For such a "educated" and rich person

he has no class.

He remains a Finished Fool.

[dipsydoodle]

33. Jobs Romney presumably

[Javaman]

34. save that clip. It will be nice to feed it to mitten's when he loses. nt

[Nihil]

36. That's a relief ...

With the "SYG" furore going strong, I was slightly concerned about in what
sense "start packing" might be taken when it was said by a white Republican
to a black Democrat ...

[AllyCat]

37. Classy Mitt. Real classy.

Here's some more class for ya Mitt: You're an idiot.

[mvd]

39. The only one who will be packing is Romney packing up all his campaign stuff and going home.

Romney is a complete opportunist - he will run a right wing campaign because that is what suits him at the moment - and people will not buy what he's selling.

[bluedeminredstate]

45. Can you imagine???

If Michelle Obama had said that to John McCain during the 2008 election? Can you imagine the names she would have been called? Who the hell does Ann Romney think she is? "Our turn now"?????

Does she not remember the eight years that her GOP fucked up this nation? Just because Obama hasn't put it all back together - thanks to a republican House, she thinks it's their turn?

What an entitled bitch!
Hey Ann! Fuck you and the dressage horse you rode in on!!!

He was backed by his wife of 43 years, Ann Romney, who told Sawyer she also had a message for Obama. "I believe it's... Mitt's time... It's our turn now," she said.

[JCMach1]

46. Let's talk about Romney's ARROGANCE...

Oh wait, that meme is only for Obama...
