Team Romney Quickly Tries to Walk Back Mitt‘s ’Hang’ Obama Remark

NY Daily News:

Mitt Romney scrambled to do some damage control after he suggested it was time to “hang” President Obama in a speech in New Hampshire Friday night.

The former Massachusetts governor and probable 2012 presidential candidate was speaking at a dinner when he said in response to an attendee’s question, “Reagan came up with this great thing about the ‘misery index’ and he hung that around Jimmy Carter‘s neck and that had a lot to do with Jimmy Carter losing. Well we‘re going to have to hang the ’Obama Misery Index’ around his neck.”

Romney went on to describe how people in the U.S. are suffering because of high fuel prices, foreclosures and bankruptcies.

“We’re going to hang him with that,” Romney said before catching himself and adding, “so to speak, metaphorically.”

Seeming to know that he had just severely misspoke, Romney then added, “You have to be careful these days.”

CNN:

A Romney spokesman, Andrea Saul, said in an e-mail to CNN of any question over the comment, “It is not what the governor meant and that was very clear in what he actually said. It’s a ridiculous exaggeration of his actual comments.”

Romney had a few other problematic moments in his speech, including a less-than-hysterical joke about Obama’s birth certificate.  Here‘s The Atlantic’s Joshua Green:

Romney either chose to wing it or is simply rusty from not having been on the campaign trail. Though practically alone among the GOP candidates in not pandering to the fringes by questioning Obama’s citizenship, he made the strange choice to open with a birther joke about how, when Obama released his birth certificate last week, “there was no one more disappointed than that amiable, know-it-all windbag–Joe Biden.” Romney didn’t have a bullet-point fantasy list of tax cuts to abolish, so instead he parceled out bits of his old stump speech with charges that Obama had no private-sector experience and is trying to “Europeanize” America.

Romney remains an exceptionally unnatural public speaker. To convey passion and excitement, he raises the pitch of his voice and imbues it with urgency. But it never quite clicks. His tone and affect are like that of an adult doing a dramatic reading of a pirate story to a wide-eyed three year old. It doesn’t help that he speaks too quickly and often trips over his lines. At points during his speech, Romney seemed to slip into a frenzy and start madly free associating economic buzzwords.

But the National Journal points out there were some positive reviews for some of Romney’s arguments.  The Boston Globe reporting:

“[Romney's] answer to the inevitable question about his Massachusetts health plan was about the best that could be expected: A smiling reference to all the controversy about it, a sincere defense of its goals, an avowal to never attempt such a thing on the federal level, ending with a pledge to grant every state a waiver from Obamacare on his first day in office. And when asked about high gasoline costs he offered a mini-lesson on how to tame the futures markets and bring down prices, suggesting there’s some substance beneath his somewhat oily presentation.”

    Romney is, due to his Massachutsetts status, easily seen as progressive. he had to be to get elected there as governor. i think his comments about hanging economic troubles around obama‘s neck is a straightforward statement and any leftist media person who tries to take portions of it and spin it as something it isn’t are the one’s that need hanging.

    Romney is clearly a trick by the Tea Party to get lunatic-left d-crat socialist heads to explode when they try to decide which they love more, ROMENYCARE or OBOZOCARE.

    So to get even with the Tea Party, the lunatic-left produced their own trick, donald trump, so the Tea Partiers would support this phony – who’s a d-crat socialist-backing, obozocare-supporting, auto-company-bailout supporting, egomaniac, hussein-level-narcissist and abortionist – instead of supporting a real, honest, conservative who could help TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY from the d-crat socialists.

The right / Republicans needs to realize that they are not all composed of tea party members, but have to appeal to the “centrists” as well. The goal is to get the “Obamanation” out of the WH. Why not try to get Romney and West on a ticket together?

      That’s exactly what I was thinking….Romney/West. I think it’d be ideal. Romney knows economics better than ANY of other current candidate, and West knows foreign policy real well, among other things. Like you said, Tea Partiers have problems with Romney (Rino? I’m not so sure. He’s not really your Washington politician like McCain was/is.) They distrust him for the RomneyCare, but it has worked extremely well in Mass. and what‘s good for one state is not necessarily what’s good for the country. I thought we were pro-states’ rights here. Let the states decide what they want or don’t want. If people think Romney wants to push his healthcare onto the country as a whole, then they’re clueless.

      If you remember, Romney was in the lead for the start of the primaries. Then, when Huckabee colluded with McCain so that Romney wouldn’t win (was it Virginia?) then things started to slide. Had he won there, he would have taken Florida (which he only barely lost to McCain). People were looking to get behind a clear frontrunner, and it became McCain once Florida was over. Romney would have done much better than McCain in the primaries IMO, although I still don‘t think it would’ve been enough to beat Obama. This time around I think it would be much closer.

So far, although he has made some inroads, he hasn’t seen his dream realized. In steps Obamao. He has as his goal, the financial destruction of America, a feat which the 911 attacks could not accomplish. It is my firm belief that what I say is true. There is NO American who has even a weak affection for our country, much less love, who would advance the policies of this Marxist Muslim! Furthermore, as for the birth certificate,he had 2 1/2 years to have the perfect forgery made. He is the deceiver, spawn of Saten!

      Yep, I’d have to agree with the vast majority of comments on here. It wasn’t really a gaffe. Those who think this was racially motivated either didn’t listen to the full clip or are complete imbeciles.

      Damage Control! Damage Control! OMG this is just so lacking in PC! What will they think? How will they interpret this? How’s my hair–still OK? Don’t you think my tan will compensate?

      Trump vs Romney? I’ll take Trump.

      Its really a shame that we have to double and triple analyze every comment before we say them for fear of offending someone.

      *LOL*

      You have no sense of humor, do you? It’s called, in common parlance, “a joke”.

      Liberals take themselves waaaay too seriously. And that’s where I often aim, to make sport of them. And you took the bait! Says more about you, sadly, than it does me.

      I will admit, though, my disdain for liberals is legendary even in H*ll.

      And, along with me, are a lot of Conservatives who are ticked more than the Left realizes; liberals have this tendency to think themselves innocent beset. The classic liberal defense is, “Who? Me?”

      After 40 years of crap spit by the Left in some self-presumed phony ‘moral superiority’, the reaping after the sowing and growth summer is here.

      Liberals can call my joke ‘hate’ all they want. Fine. Truth is, this is called ‘backlash’.

      This is what the Left has brought about, whether they admit it or not even to their own selves.

      A fave quote of mine: “Beware the wrath of a patient man.”

      Run with all this as you need.

      Stay engaged, stand tall and be proud, Mitt! This minor gaffe is nothing in comparison to the forceful f-bombs thrown by poll-leader Trump, so potential candidate Romney should stay the course! He still looks intelligent and sane enough to most effectively oppose the wily, self-assured and profligate President in 2012.

      The petty left and their attack dogs “main stream media” will use this to full political advantage ,though they might wait till and if he gets the republican nomination. Most people are savvy enough not to buy into this kind of stupidity but they’ll wrangle plenty of air heads ie…college students etc..but lets face it most air heads are on board with the progressives already

      Give me a break! He did just fine…I wish I were a fly on the wall in the Oval Office, don’t you? I like Romney, I mean, as a person…NOT HIS POLITICS…He is a Rhino…AND he has been the “Nowhere Man”…the past 2.5 years…it’s too late for him to “take up on the issues”…the time for him HAS COME AND GONE! Bye Bye!

      Surely you realize that anything democrats say that can even remotely be taken out of context by you people is taken out of context. Oh, no. No, you don’t realize that. You guys are always the hero or the victim.

      Now Whoopie and Joy will call Romney a racist on the View. What with these two political incompetents and their sense of twisted logic, escaped slaves were always “hung” and, thus, Romney thinks of Obama as a slave.

      Not too surprised, but this really doesn’t change anything for most Tea Partiers. Mitt is a no-vote for most folks and thats just the way this is going to go down. What we need is a REAL LEADER…
      We need Allen West!

      We have come up with a plan to draft Colonel West. Go here to learn more and follow the instructions… http://www.americasteapartynews.com/draft-allen-west.php This will work!
