President Hits Romney on Flip-Flops, Accuses Him of Suffering From ‘Romnesia’
President Barack Obama during a campaign stop in Fairfax, Va., on Friday accused Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney of suffering from a condition that forces him to constantly change his positions, a condition he dubbed “Romnesia.”
“Mr. severely conservative wants you to think he was severely kidding about everything he said over the last year,” the president said. “He told folks he was the ideal candidate for the Tea Party. Now, suddenly, he’s saying, ‘What? Who me?’”
“He’s forgetting what his own positions are and he’s betting that you will too. I mean, he’s changing up so much, backtracking, and sidestepping, we got to name this condition that he’s going through. I think it’s called Romnesia,” he added.
The crowd ate it up.
Not long after delivering these remarks, #Romnesia started trending on the twittersphere (twitterverse?) in the U.S.:
Why do we mention this?
We just wanted to warn you that, based on Twitter’s gleeful reaction to the president’s play on words, you’ll be hearing the term “Romnesia” everyday from now until the last ballot is counted.
Ain’t politics fun?

Posted on October 19, 2012 at 8:39pmObama is an immoral individual, his only religion is progressive-ism and his only goal is to rule this country as its first dictator. Those that follow him are the same people who sent Germany into Hitler’s arms, Russia into Lenin’s, and Cuba into Castro’s.

Posted on October 19, 2012 at 4:56pmWe don’t have to get cute with President Obama’s name. The President suffers from something that already has some funny names: Mythomania, Pseudologia Fantastica and the name we are mostly familiar with Pathological Liar. They are all the same thing.

Posted on October 19, 2012 at 4:05pmbe careful for what you ask for Mr.Obama.
Flip Flop Issues.
Well, wasn’t Mr.Obama — for traditional marriage, ooops, gay marriage, oooops, traditional marriage, oooops, now for gay marriage again just before a federal election just to garner LGTB voters. oh yeah, those people.
And wasn’t Mr.Obama — three times the major supporter for “late term abortions”? oh he didn’t flop his flip, he just kinda had his handlers hide the dirty deeds onto some other dufus who could hide good ol’ Barry’s lack there of desire to see a perfectly healthy baby born in the later stages of pregnancy. As long as the head of that baby never sees the light of day, and remains in that birth canal, an abortion doctor can snuff that childs life out like putting out the lights. Just don’t let that baby’s head break that line of no return and everything is good for snuffing a healthy baby.
And what about oil Mr.Obama. Not that cooking oil either. Keystone oil Mr.Obama, I thought you were for reducing foreign Middle Eastern oil where the question of dependency could be reduced. Oooops, Canada is White People, wez can’t buy White Peoples oil.

We will have to serve him with an eviction notice, give him thirty days, take him to court, give him another thirty days, and then have the Sheriffs office throw his crap out into the street. Probably not going to get our deposit back either, lol.

Posted on October 19, 2012 at 3:53pmRomnesia. It’s a real case with serious side effects. How can any of you fall for flip flop mitt? I always think its funny when they say I’m voting for Obama if I “waste” my vote on Johnson or that I want obama to win, since I’m just a democrat in disguise. If that were the case, why even chance it? Why wouldn’t I just bore for Obama? Because no matter how bad I dislike Romney I hate Obama equally. I want 3rd parties to have a fair shake in us politics. If they won’t give it to them, well have to take it.

Posted on October 19, 2012 at 3:53pmOnce again highlighting that all Obama can do is attack Romney with lies and misstatements, because Obama has no record to run on. Honestly you would have to be brain dead to vote for Obama. He’s such a lightweight, albeit a dangerous lightweight. He’s had his four years, time to move on Barry.
I think he’d make a great host for the show”Entertainment Tonight” that way he can still be with all his groovy, toxic Hollywood friends.

Posted on October 19, 2012 at 3:47pm“Romnesia” – That’s cute…After Romney is swore in, Obama is going to have plenty of time to tell jokes on the Daily Show. Maybe Jon Stewart will hire Barack “Chuckles” Obama for the new sports segment. They can talk about basketball brackets, refs on strike, and social justice in football. Leave the important stuff like jobs, the economy, and national security to the adults.
