Obama to Fox News’ Ed Henry: ‘I Didn’t Know You Were the Spokesperson for Mitt Romney’

Call it a simple joke or part of a more calculated attack campaign on GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, but a curious statement by President Barack Obama‘s during today’s press conference is making headlines.

(Related: Henry responds to Megyn Kelly over Obama’s ribbing)

The quick quip was prefaced by a question from Fox News’ Ed Henry. “I wanted to get your first reaction to the Iranian terror plot,” Henry said. “What specific steps will you take to hold Iran accountable, especially when Mitt Romney said last week, quote, ‘If you do not want America to be the strongest nation on earth, I am not your president. You have that president today.’”

Obama’s response, “I didn’t know you were the spokesperson for Mitt Romney,” brought laughter from Henry’s peers. Watch the incident unfold, below:

Again, this very well could have been something that came organically and in the moment. But some politicos are claiming that the president’s re-election campaign is setting its sights on Mitt Romney.

Below, see a Fox News interview with Romney campaign manager Eric Fehrnstrom, during which the president’s purported Romney-targeting is addressed:

Obama’s joke may be indicative of an assumption within his campaign that Mitt Romney will end up being the inevitable 2012 Republican candidate for the presidency.

We’ll have to wait and see what the White House has to say next about Romney, but Obama campaign architect David Axelrod’s tweets only add fuel to the fire:

      This is just propaganda from the ESTABLISHMENT of Dems and Repubs trying to make it look like they are on different teams, but setting up the spotlight on their candidates. Ron Paul 2012. Forget FED CHAIRMAN Cain who thought the economy was making GREAT PROGRESS just 2 weeks before the collapse. He also didn’t want to audit the FED but is now flip flopping because RON called him out. CYA Cain….Whose next on the carousel?….Newt! step right up…. When will we learn there is only one here that really stands for freedom and against corruption. RON PAUL

      I have never touched a “hash pipe”. The only reason he MIGHT not is because media refuse to give him any press. Look what happened to cain as soon as they gave him a little. He exploded. For months, he was “unelectable” but now that we have cut down the establishments #2 (perry) they have to promote their #3 choice Cain. Just a little media hype is all he needed for cool aid drinkers to jump on board for an additional revenue stream of a sales tax.

      Everyone needs to know Romney is a fair candidate, just as Conservative as Cain, more than Perry but not as much as Santorum or Bachmann. The president is going after him and they have enlisted MSNBC in it to smear Romney about his so-called ‘advisers.’

      We need to vet all of our candidates with the truth, not media spin. This is why I turn to http://www.thedailycandidate.com. It gives equal time for each candidate.

      I got cut off. Here’s the rest of my comment:
      People see that and they think, “If that’s what his supporters are like, I want NOTHING to do with Ron Paul!” They’re painting themselves as a bunch of wacky Ron Paul groupies. People run as fast from him as possible simply because of the nutty comments and fanaticism of his supporters. This is my own observation, but several of my other friends have observed the same.

      While I agree with Ron Paul on virtually all economic issues, he is way off base in ignoring the threat of a nuclear Iran. He is also misguided in his desire to legalize every vice known to humanity. He would transform us into “Amsterdam America”, with a porn shop, a crack house, and a brothel on every street corner, all in the name of “freedom”. News: Addiction is NOT freedom! Marijuana is only the beginning point for this friend of mine and his fellow Ron Paul fanatics. Some are near anarchists! No thanks! That’s no environment in which to try to raise children!

      And that’s one reason why I will NEVER support or vote for Ron Paul. His “followers” are the best reason NOT to vote for Prophet Paul!

      I appreciate your comment. I am not the type of guy who gets easily excited about politics. I almost didn’t even look into candidates this year as I suspected there would be no one with any credibility. When I looked into all of the candidates I was very displeased to find they all were hypocrites. But then I discovered that Ron Paul had been speaking and even predicting things that I personally believe in. I have never endorsed any other candidate in my life. There is a reason people are excited about Paul, because they feel they can believe what he says. He is trying to deminish the role of the President, not make it bigger. I see it kind of like Glenn’s following. People that have not listened to GB look at his supporters and write them off because of their excitement. Sorry that turns some off, but for me, if it weren’t for those who have worked to post info to back their claims, I would not have been able to make an informed decisions

I have a hunch there will be some supprises. A lot of voters are fed up with the same old political BS, lies and half-truths. Many are looking for a Christie style person who will tell it like it is without bending the info to fit the situation. Cain comes pretty close and sorry, but I see Paul as a libertarian isolationist (scary).

I have supported 4 candidates (Rick Santorum, Michelle Bachman, Mitt Romney, and Herman Cain — in that sequence (plus I was kind of hopeful about Rick Perry for a while)) this election sequence. The idea that a particular candidate is the only ONE in the United States who could be a better President that Obumbler is simply incredible. Any candidate who has fanatical devotees is scary. Paul and Obumbler are the only ones on the scene at the moment.

      ABO – Anybody But Obama

      Romney as conservative as Cain?? No. Read Cain’s background. Grew up poor, parents worked hard and long. He is nearly a rocket scientist… not sure if that is good or bad… Romney is the obvious establishment choice, and I believe the Republican establishment is actually worse than Democrats, as they are the wolves in sheep’s clothing. They say cut spending but then raise it, they say smaller govt but then make it bigger. At least with Dems you know what you’re getting!

      Ron Paul? No way. Naive on foreign affairs… to say the least. Remember that Iran put a satellite into orbit, note their nuclear bomb ambitions, and understand that a nuke detonated high in our atmosphere would destroy a huge part of our power grid, including all vehicle electronic systems, so no cars, no tv, no power, no fuel…(therefore no food in the markets) for months? years? No matter how small, we cannot take that risk.

      Newt – tough call. I used to joke that I was just to the right of Newt politically, that was when he was speaker. The global warming nonsense, sitting on the couch with Pelosi, and the fact he has been in DC for so long are big negatives. He is great at explaining things, the consummate professor.

      Bachmann – like her, but she is basically done at this point.

      Paul, I was not attacking Paul I was stating a fact that he has changed positions… not to say it wasn’t for a good reason but he has changed. Example: Gold standard. He stated earlier this year to sell the gold in Ft. Knox, getting rid of that gold means we would not get back to the gold standard.

      Another example is earmarks: He says he is a fiscal conservative but then he tries to keep earmarks. These are not constitutional. The constitution says that the funds are to be appropriated, that is true, but that is why we have appropriation bills to distribute funds through the congress and not use them as bribes in a bill.

      Another example is he likes to place earmarks and little favors in bills that he does not ‘want’ to pass. Arguement is that if they are going to pass anyway why not make some money off of it for the district. That is underhanded.

      At the same time he may have reasons to do or say some of these things but he is no more perfect or void of these act than any other candidate we have.

      There are more items but this is enough to make the point that they are all politicians and humans and so flawed.

      @ JMILLER Changing support does not indicate a lack of doing “homework” — it reflects the concept of a candidate’s electibility. If every candidate had an equal amount of votes and my vote would decide the Republican nominee, then I would nominate Santorum — IF I felt he would beat Obumbler. I am worried that he would lose to Obumbler, plus he isn’t polling well . . . sooo . . . I am expecting to vote for Cain in the primary. Fanatics have the egocentrism to think that their vote will determine and/or show something about THEM others see the political process for what it is and see the political process as it actually functions. I remember 1992 and what Thomas Sowell (and my wife before him — but she never gets credit ;) ) said: Bush didn’t DESERVE to be re-elected, but America didn’t DESERVE to have Clinton for President. The Perot voters gave us Clinton. Maybe the Paul voters will give us four more years of Obumbler. An anticipatory (and sarcastic) “Thanks, Guys!” goes out to you.

      Question: Why do people like Rush Limbaugh call Romney an establishment candidate. The establishment were looking for alternatives including Rick Perry and Chris Christie ahead of Romney. The establish wanted someone else. More Tea Party freshman are endorsing Romney than any other candidate.

      Some may say Romney is not a Conservative but what makes him not a conservative. He wants a strong border, great on immigration. He is a fiscal conservative. A federalist. He doesn’t believe in man-made Global Warming, he has stated that he doesn’t know. And the other candidates have not been asked if the earth is warmer now than a few years ago. No he does not have a strong opinion against Global Warming but is uncertainty not conservative? Fights for free-market values. What is your definition of a conservative. Because when it comes to these issues Perry is less Conservative than Romney.

      Something to think about. He wasn’t wanted by the establishment, yet he is called an establishment candidate (now he is after Christie and Perry are out or almost out of the running.) Under most definitions of conservativism he is conservative. Where is the disconnect in the message.

      Chuck, I understand you want to get Obama out, but I don’t think just putting someone else in with an R in front of their name, but wants more government. is worth it. Bush ran up the debt faster than any other president before him, but at least he had that R to discredit all of us real conservatives that believe in limited government. Mark down these predictions.

      Romney wins- Government will explode and he will have the lowest approval rating, maybe even worse than Obama

      Cain- Will not understand why America goes down hill when he charges us another 9% on all of our purchases while continuing to tax our income. Will not bring accountability to or end the Fed. When he leaves office we will be in more debt than when he came in. Democrats will have a field day with him.

      Perry- See Romney only even worse

      Bachmann- Will do ok on most things when it comes to economy. Will police the world and start 2 more wars, which will mean more debt, and then economy will go down hill.

      Santorum- See Bachmann but add 2 extra wars

      Newt- Will be caught up in some sort of controversy his entire presidency and not really get anything worthwhile accomplished. Debt won’t explode but will increase.

Before the media completely crumbled you could compare the polls to what was going on around you, and they came close to matching. Not one time in the past 3 elections that i have been a part of have i not known people for one candidate or another….but i know not one single person who is happy with Obama, or plans on voting for him, and that strkes me as odd that his poll numbers are as high as they are (not that they are super high)…

      The reporter deserved to be taken down a notch. Part of his question was legitimate: how does the President plan to respond to the terrorist threat initiated by Iran? Obviously, after two days, the President can’t give a detailed answer. What people don’t see is that the diplomats are working behind the scenes to come up with a coordinated plan among our allies, while tracking down information on the terrorists. That takes awhile. But still, it’s legitimate to ask how the United States is going to respond.

      But his comments beyond that was not journalism, it was a FOX guy trying to get a raise. Basically it was “my guy says he tough and you’re not” despite the almost daily news of top level Al Quaeda guys being killed or captured, and the capture of this particular terrorist. The only people who think that is journalism are the uninformed and poorly educated, people who think candidates like Donald Trump and Michelle Bachman actual have the abilility to be the leader of the most powerful nation in the world.

      @SBenard

      Your argument is a Progressive tactic and shows ignorance or as Cain would say, lack of knowledge and you just do not understand. How about you call up the Ron Paul camp so they can explain to you that Ron Paul is not a Prophet nor seen or thought as one. 

      You are openly trying to associate extremism to Ron Paul supporters because of their enthusiasm for him? That is silly…Aren’t supporters suppose to be enthusiastic?…That is like saying the TEA Party is racist because BO is black and they are enthusiastically protesting Government. It is simply an attempt to discredit. 

      You and your views are the exact reason there are so many support Ron Paul. You think you know better then everyone else. You think you can and should tell everyone else what to do. Instead of worrying about you and your morally you believe it is your job to tell joeblow how to be moral. You as described in your rant are the very progressives Glenn Beck showed is destroying our freedoms…Am I a BeckBot now as called by Progressives? Thank you for showing exactly who you are. 

      I hope Ron Paul runs 3rd party and believe he would gain 40% while Progressive BO and the Progressive Republican candidate fight over the Progressive vote and get roughly 30% apiece or so. 

      To criticize those who stand on principle, whether you can agree with their principle, is nothing but an attempt to smear and a tactic of Progressives as shown by Glenn Beck.

      Typical of every instance of Ron Paul being brought into the discussion, the Ron Paul supporters are the more rational and civil in their arguments while the Ron Paul critics resort to name calling or pejorative accusations (e.g. in just this first part of this thread JMiller has already been accused by two different posters of using drugs), misrepresentations of Paul (anyone who calls Paul a flip-flopper or naive has zero credibility), and collectivist nonsense (implying all or most Paul supporters are cult-like, drug addicted jerks).

      Any objective person who would take the time to review all of the posts on both sides of the Ron Paul debate would clearly see that the majority of Pauls supporters are intelligent, rational, and civil, while the majority of Pauls critics seem to think that the best debate tactic is to call the opponent names.

      There is no doubt that Pauls supporters are devoted to his cause, but I think that is because Liberty and Constitutionality is a cause worthy of devotion. I also believe it is true that Paul is the only candidate that can truly be trusted to shrink the federal government.

      I don‘t know if your that uninformed about Mitt Romney or if you’re deliberatly trying to mislead people about Mitt Romney.

      -Romneycare was setup by him to recieve half of it’s funding from the Federal Government. So I don‘t really see it as being a States rights issue if I have to help fund other peoples healthcare in a state that I don’t even live in.

      -Romney believed in a national mandate to buy health insurance in 2007 when he was running for president.

      -He has said on tape he believes humans contribute to global warming this year.

      -On 12-7-05 he said “These carbon emmission limits will provide real and immediate progress in the battle to improve our enviornment”
      “The first and only State to set CO2 emmissions limits on power plants”
      “I will not create jobs or hold jobs that kill peolpe and that plant, that plant kills people”

      -He was for amnesty. He supported John Mcains comprehensive immigration reform.

      -He supported the Brady Bill.

      -When he was running for Governor of a liberal state he was pro-choice. When he decided he was going to run for president he suddenly became pro-life.

      I find it hard to believe that anyone could support such a man for President. Someone who would say anything just to get elected. I would most likely support any of the other Rebublican canidates in the field running for President even Ron Paul, but I would never vote for Mitt Romney. Simply because I have no idea of what th

But if the FBI had any guts, they would do it for me. They did it in the 40’s and 50’s when they arrested communists found working inside the federal government. We now have a sitting president who is a Marxist and 70 sitting members of congress who are card carrying members of the American Socialist Party.

    RUSH LIMBAUGH AND MARK LEVIN NEED TO STOP SPREADING MSNBC-OBAMA PROPOGANDA

    They don‘t know it is propoganda but they are both pushing a story by MSNBC that Romney’s close adviser was sent to Obama to talk to him about ObamaCare. MSNBC claims they just found out through WH logs that an ‘adviser’ of Romney’s met with Obama on health care. This is a recycled story. Remember the 2009-2010 White House logs came out months ago. The Boston Globe and HuffPo were spreading this around back in March. Then it was disproven.

    Jon Gruber was not a healthcare adviser, he was a consultant from MIT. He met with Romney one time. He is an modelling economist, he puts out economic models for MIT and he ran the numbers for the state of Massachusetts, it was he that underestimated the cost of RomneyCare. He is a Democrat adviser, called the Democrat Party‘s ’most influential healthcare expert’ in 2007.

    Yes Romney did praise him for his Econometric Model for the health care bill (that was before they found out that it was a bad model) but Jon did not advise him on the policies themselves. That was done by Edmund Haislmaier from Heritage Foundation. Edmund wrote a great article about the bill back in 2006 and the conservative model it was (Google: Mitt’s Fit – its on the Heritage Foundation archive)

    You can disagree with him but spreading liberal propoganda like this will ensure Obama’s re-election

      Read the article I cited. RomneyCare was designed to deregulate the govt out of the industry. The Connector or health exchange was created to be business oriented. The mandate as it was proposed was ‘you pay for insurance or you pay the bill. The state was going to give the poor vouchers to buy private insurance (medicaid office wouldn’t allow this). This is what the media is spinning because they want Universal Healthcare. This is why we need to know this and get it out. The bill was based off free-market values. When Romney received it, even though under threats, he still vetoed 7 sections of the bill. Read the bill those sections are marked as Governor Vetoed section***.

      Read the Heritage Foundation Article on this called Mitt’s Fit, ( http://www.heritage.org/research/commentary/2006/01/mitts-fit ) then read a few other articles about this in their archive… completely different story than the media is telling us. Then go ahead and read the 76-page, its dry but I have done it. Not nearly as hard as ObamaCare’s 2400+ pages of legal-eeze.

      No it is to be a conservative during a bad economy, be a businessman and (this is the only real negative) you have to promise to keep the status quo when it comes to abortion and gay marriage. He vetoed many bill keeping it the status quo but that meant the gay marriage bill they tried to pass was vetoed (then it went to the courts and Romney fought it again), and the morning after pill Romney also vetoed (the veto was overturned, so Romney wrote a bill protecting faith based hospitals so they weren’t forced to provide them. The smart thing about taking the status quo when you have a 85% liberal legislature is the fact that they can’t further progressivism in these cases either. He kept the status quo and was attacked on it on almost a daily basis. But the economy there flourished. Less tax subsidies and he took a deficit of $3 billion and made it into a $2 billion rainy day fund.

      Cain will be an easy candidate for Obama to defeat. Polls show Obama leads Cain and Perry by 12 points and is tied with Romney.

      @BlackHawk1-The reason why the costs of Romneycare soared is because the liberal legislature added costly amendments to the original Romneycare bill. Romney vetoed the amendments but since the liberal legislature had an 87% majority they over rode Romney’s vetos.

      Romney signed the bill in April of 2006 and Romney’s last day in office was in January 2007. There have been additional amendments to the Romneycare bill since Romney’s departure from office by the Democratic Governor Duval Patrick and the liberal legislature. This is probably why costs have soared.

      Moral of the story-If you are a Republican governor and you wish to run for President some day make sure that you govern a conservative state, otherwise people will assign the liberal legislature‘s agenda with the conservative governor’s agenda and label you a RINO.

      Maybe Republicans shouldn’t even bother governing liberal states and just let the liberals take them over.

      I am really fed up and angry with people calling Romney a RINO when he is just as conservative as Cain and Gingrich. Gingrich,Demint and the Heritage foundation even lauded Romney’s bill as a fine piece of conservative legislation.

      After all Romney is not requesting a mandatory national sales tax to be applied to all goods and services. A sales tax in addition to an income tax. A revenue stream that will be used and abused by future Democratic administrations who love to spend.

      Tom, what prevents Congress from raising everybody’s tax to 50% right now? Fear of the public. The more transparent the tax the more power the public has to threaten the politicians who seek to raise it. The income tax rose gradually and unevenly, first on the rich and then on the rest. It was eased by all the gimmics that will be taken away in Cain’s plan.

      What will stop Congress from raising 9 9 9 to 49 49 49 is YOU, and everybody else who will KNOW how much that tax will hurt THEM and not just the other guys. A flat tax is much harder to raise in stealth an d politicians like to do things secretly.

      @ ISLESFORDIAN
      Well said. Plus, support for Herman Cain is more than the 9-9-9 plan. Mr. Cain is a straight-shooting problem solver. He engenders confidence that he will adopt policies that will work — certainly not any more proven-wrong Keynesian tricks. Yup, Cainsian economics has great promise.

      If that reporter was speaking for Romney he blew it. I found it a stupid question, as all questions are that ask someone to respond to something someone else said about him. It’s like being in sixth grade. What Mit said was irrelevant to what Obama will do in responce to Iran.

      I still like Fox, can barely tolerate Romney (if I have to) and can‘t wait to kick Obama’s hind end out of there, but that question made me sympathetic to the President. Not bright.

Seems like he stopped blaming Bush, but now he blames the republican party for everything. I really can’t stand the integrity of this man.

      It actually works good for Cain, because it makes Obama unload early on Romney’s weaknesses to tear him down. I think Romney has really soft spots and if Obama exposes them early it will dent the aura of inevitability the GOP establishment is trying to erect around him. Cain can then step in and put Ronmey out of his (our) misery and give Obama a fight he doesn’t know how to counter.

      ===========================================

      Romney seems to be firmly behind Cain’s candidacy though:

      Romney’s favorite 2012 candidate
      October 6, 2011
      Romney has taken numerous swipes at Perry during the debates, but he’s lavished praise on another candidate: Herman Cain.

      He’s lauded him as the other GOP hopeful who has “actually worked in the real economy” and said Cain brought up an “absolutely key point” about health care and is “right” on the issue.

      Constitution for the United States of America, Article 2, Section 1, “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution,…”

      The point the writers refer to is an explanatory clause in the sentence, “at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution”. All who resided in the states at the time were to be considered as citizens. After that point “natural born” was to be the litmus.

      The blog isn’t too clear on it.
