    That is just who he is.
    It sounded to me to be a reporter --- first making a statement--- but then after getting a reply he didn't agree with, he repeated the statement------over and over again. This is not reporting---- this is bashing and the same as calling out "liar---liar". This kinda "reporting??" is encitement and for most others would be looking for a knuckle sandwich.

    I'm not a big fan of Romneys, but as previously noted -- he's the only one running against Obuma. I liked Michele B. and I think Sarah (who, by the way, just got big numbers for your Cruz candidate in Texas) would do better-----AND EITHER WOULD ALSO BE THE ONLY ONE RUNNING AGAINST OBUMA.

    Let's face it dudes---and dudesses----the great majority of you would vote for about anybody short of a mass murderer before you'd allow the Obuma policies go unchecked. And that's what it all amounts to --- not the man, but his policies, agendas and executive orders; or HIS fundamental transformation on our U.S.A. [just like he said he was going to do from the beginning---but too many were paying to little attention].

    meh, He was referring to a specific statement made by Mitt regarding not being surrounded by lobbiests (sp)...Mitt got busted and like I said he is NOT a man who likes to be questioned.

    Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks that this is just who Romney is.....for better for worse.....

    Romney is not the sort of businessman—that his brand of capitalism is not the sort of enterprise—that requires even the most elementary understanding of diplomacy, courtesy, or sensitivity to other people’s values, lives, or perceptions.


    The American capitalists-turned-statesmen of an earlier generation—Douglas Dillon, Averell Harriman, Robert Lovett, John McCloy, Dean Acheson, Paul Nitze—took risks, built institutions, helped rebuild postwar Europe, befriended their foreign counterparts: in short, they cultivated an internationalist sensibility at their core. Whatever you think of their politics or Cold War policies generally (and there is much to criticize), financiers formed an American political elite in that era because finance (through the Marshall Plan, the World Bank, the IMF, and so forth) was so often the vehicle of American expansionism.

    By contrast, private-equity firms, such as Bain Capital, where Romney made his fortune, tend to view their client companies as cash cows, susceptible to cookie-cutter formulas from which the firms’ partners reap lavish fees, almost regardless of the outcome. Their ends and means breed an insularity, a sense of entitlement, a disposition to view all the world’s entities through a single prism and to appraise them along a single scale.

    there, corrected it to a more correct outcome.

    Glad you posted the clip Linda, I'm liking Romney more all the time....and as for his "pit bull manager" who told the msm to kiss his ***, I really like him, I'd have said the same thing under those circumstances. It's not like they are actual journalists anymore, they are nothing but obama cheerleaders waiting for any gaff by Romney and ignoring anything bad about obama. If it were me, I'd cut all press access to future events....
