Campaign scrambles after Romney admits Obama didn’t raise taxes

[DonViejo]

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s campaign was forced to quickly issue a clarification on Tuesday after their candidate admitted that President Barack Obama had not raised taxes during his first four years in office.

“I admit this, he has one thing he did not do in his first four years — he’s said he’s going to do in the next four years, which is to raise taxes,” Romney told a crowd in Ohio as a visibly uncomfortable vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan looked on.

“Paul Ryan looked like someone just punched him in the stomach,” PolitcusUSA’s Jason Easley noted. “The really priceless moment is happening behind Romney, as Paul Ryan realizes what Romney said, and tries his very best to maintain his smile. Ryan’s face transformed into a pained expression, as Romney accidentally let loose with a bit of truth.”


Within hours of the campaign event, Romney’s team was walking back the former governor’s statement.

3. Hi, my name is SDjack, and I'm almost a Moocher.

I almost fell to official Moocher status the last year of "W's" reign of terror. Then, Pres. Obama arrived and reduced my Fed taxes, allowing me to float just above the line of mooching. Willard scares me, because he wants to reduce my pension, reduce my wife's SS, and reduce my tax exemptions. Please save me from becoming a Moocher. Vote straight DEM in the general election. If no DEM contests a particular election, don't vote for a Repug.
