http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=157681425Hi I'm Mitt and I want to be your president.
My business experience is my only admitted qualification for being president...but don't look at my record of running Bain and how we destroyed companies and outsourced jobs overseas.
I'm very successful at business...but I won't show you my tax returns because those nasty Dems will find things in there to attack me with.
I love America...but I keep my money offshore to avoid paying taxes and have a long history of moving jobs overseas.
I saved the Olympics...but it was really bailed out by your tax dollars.
I'm very presidential...but I made a complete fool of myself on my disaster of a European trip where I practically ruined America's reputation around the world.
I'm respectable...but I blatantly lie all the time and have run a despicable campaign using racist dog whistles.
GIVE ME A BREAK! We already know you Mitt Romney and you are PATHETIC!
"Introduce himself to voters" = Lie about all of the above so people don't know the real Rmoney.

(1,374 posts)Romney is trending down and Obama is trending up in the latest polls.
He needs to do damage control on all the bad press he's getting lately.

His best strategy is to avoid any and all contact with anybody.

(1,374 posts)Unfortunately I can imagine too many Americans asking that. I wonder how many don't even know who's running for president? Then again, I don't want to know the answer to that. Apathy pisses me off.

(19,458 posts)That new ad, targeted to black voters, is out there now. They edited it up to make it look like he was overwhelmingly received, and it's "Meet Mitt Romney" themed. They even took the end where some people stood up to leave, and put it into the middle of the speech, and found a few nodding heads to put in at another point.
He is a bigger liar than Nixon. he is not Bush.. he is Nixon. Crooked as hell, phony as hell, and mean as hell.
