IHT World: Leaked — Mitt Romney RNC Acceptance Speech (Satire)

Thank you my friends. I’m hon­ored and hum­bled by your sup­port and I accept your nom­i­na­tion for Pres­i­dent of the United States of America.

My fel­low Amer­i­cans, let me list just some dif­fer­ences between Pres­i­dent Obama and myself.

Pres­i­dent Obama is so out of touch with reg­u­lar peo­ple that he thinks he can win reelec­tion by engag­ing in class war­fare. He wants to raise taxes sky high on mil­lion­aires, forc­ing them to pay as much as eigh­teen, even twenty per­cent. He’s even sug­gested that mil­lion­aires should pay the same tax rate as a teacher or fire­fighter. How arro­gant can this pres­i­dent be?

Mean­while, he’s cut­ting your taxes with the hope of buy­ing your votes while insist­ing that you peo­ple need to see my tax returns from the past ten years. The Amer­i­can peo­ple don’t care about my taxes. After all, I’ve never even been asked to show my birth cer­tifi­cate. When decid­ing who’s more qual­i­fied to be pres­i­dent, con­sider this: I’ve cre­ated nearly a bil­lion dol­lars in per­sonal wealth over the course of my life­time while Pres­i­dent Obama has barely made a few mil­lion dol­lars. I know that because I’ve seen his tax returns.
