To raise your kids. If your nanny isn't doing it, she's getting paid too much.

Solyndra & made the comment about picking winners and losers but Obama just picks the losers. I think this was one of Rmoney's rehearsed zingers.

You know what? I think you're right, THAT was probably a pre-rehearsed zinger!

Problem was it was so lacking in zingatude, I didn't even remember he'd said it.

what a zinger is.

I think all of his verbose regurgitations tonite were a series of memorized mini-speeches. That's why he wouldn't shut up when he got "on a roll" & felt entitled to interrupt & insult Lehrer & Obama. Did you notice his little smirk & head tilt after he delivered one of the mini-speeches...like he was soooo proud of himself. His emotional maturity level appears to be about that of a 5 yr old. They will change their stories to get what they want, too.

old material.
and very much disrespectful to the office and it's trappings not of his own making.

when he said trickle down government and economy tax those were supposed to be zingers. But i agree, if they were zingers, they missed the mark.



Romney Zingers:
Half the factual content, none of the wit of ordinary zingers.

and 'joked' carelessly about needing new accountants!

Like he couldn't care less about the people who lost their jobs he shipped abroad.

The one about the airplane and house comes to mind but he was able to use VP Biden's words against President Obama a few times.

In a speech North Carolina Biden said "a middle class that has been buried the last four years". The comment made the news and FOX news loved it. I heard Willard say "middle-income Americans have been buried." and It's been crushing. and families are being crushed. all in one series of comments.
