Lies, gaffes, taxes: Mitt can never take responsibility

[DonViejo]

The GOP candidate can never admit he's wrong. What does that say about his character?

BY SALLY KOHN

In an interview this weekend on 60 Minutes, President Barack Obama, responding to questions about the tone of the presidential campaign and the often-ugly TV ads made on his behalf, said this:

Do we see sometimes us going overboard in our campaign — are there mistakes that are made or areas where there’s no doubt that somebody could dispute how we are presenting things? You know, that happens in politics.

Meanwhile, Mitt Romney still won’t release more than two years of full tax returns.

What do these two situations have to do with each other and the election? Everything.

Despite baseless Republican assertions to the contrary, Barack Obama has sought from Day One to take responsibility for his actions as President. So, after three and a half years in which Republicans have blocked every piece of legislation Obama has proposed and generally been as uncooperative as possible — economic recovery be damned — Obama repeated this weekend what he has said before: “I take full responsibility for everything that we do.”

1. The best part - the RIDICULE.

I have been a political junkie for many decades and have never seen anything like the RIDICULE.

2. You don't remember the ridicule of Reagan?

For a long time, I had a book titled 'Reagan's Rule of Error' on my bookshelf. I still maintain he should have been impeached.

3. I remember it but it was nothing compared to this.

Also, this is coming from the media during a general election.

4. I concede the point...

And I concede that the media is now even more partisan than it was then.

5. Not in Romney's dictionary

Romney has removed the following in his own vocabulary -

"I apologize"

"I was wrong"

"Thank you" (except to the donors)

"I made an error"

"I concede"
