Mitt Romney is an idiot. There's no way to spin it or tease it out, it's just a fact: this dude is missing a few screws. He's desperately trying to prove he's a regular guy by taking time off from the campaign to go grocery shopping. Check this out:
"Mitt Romney Goes Shopping, Successfully Executing The Lamest Photo-Op Of 2012
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney engaged in arguably the most blatant "I'm a regular guy, just like you" campaign stunt Monday. The "Best Pandering to Date" award of the 2012 season was won by the GOP's standard-bearer by using a rare day off from the trail to go shopping at his local hardware and grocery store in Wolfeboro, N.H.
Just how "everyman" is Romney?
Like you and me, Mitt Romney gets chauffeured to the store in a tinted-out black Chevy Suburban, Secret Service agents in tow. Much like the rest of us, he procures his ears of corn and tools with a press gaggle dutifully snapping pictures."
He actually thinks Americans are stupid enough to believe a man with a 78K per year dancing horse would come off the presidential campaign to go grocery shopping?
:D :D

They asked him what he was buying, and his answer, exact quote: "Hardware stuff".
Yes. That's exactly what he said. He's like The Onion made up a canddiate.

Harvey Weinstein on Obama: 'The Paul Newman of American Presidents'
8:20 AM, Aug 7, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER
Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein last night hosted a fundraiser for President Barack Obama at his Westport, Conn. home. He had nothing but praise for Obama.
"You can make the case that a he's the Paul Newman of American presidents," Weinstein said of Obama while introducing him to other high-dollar Democratic donors.
"Leading with your heart is the utmost for this president," Weinstein also said, according to the pool report. "Fighting for Planned Parenthood and protecting women's rights, this president has fought the good fight. ... Recently in Aurora, we saw him put his arms around the people that needed him the most."
According to the pool report, Obama then spoke, and thanked his celebrity donors:
Mr. Obama then took the microphone, praising some of his celebrity guests. He said of Ms. Hathaway, "She's spectacular. I got a chance to see "Batman," and she was the best thing in it. That's just my personal opinion."
She beamed and laughed.
Of Mr. Sorkin, the president said he "writes the way every Democrat in Washington wished they spoke."
"We've spent three and a half years trying to make sure this country gets back on its feet," Mr. Obama said. "We have a lot of work to do, and we're not done. These gains are reversible. On a whole host of issues, you guys are the tiebreakers."
The pooler adds a little color:
Each table had a low centerpiece of what looked like pale pink Dahlias. Seated at the table closest to Mr. Obama was Anne Hathaway, wearing a silver dress with puffed sleeves gathered from the elbow to the shoulder, and a tight bodice. Also spotted in the audience were Aaron Sorkin, seated next to Anna Wintour, whose signature sunglasses rested on the table in front of her. Also present were Joanne Woodward and Jerry Springer. Gov. Malloy was again present.

Mitt Romney's the idiot? ::) For DECADES, his job was turning around failing businesses. Then, he became Governor of Massachusetts, where he actually got stuff done, despite the fact that the legislature was overwhelmingly controlled by the opposition party.
Obama on the other hand can't even run a proper campaign and he's clearly failing as the chief executive of this country. Even the Wall Street Journal published an article about how moronic Obama is: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904140604576495932704234052.html (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904140604576495932704234052.html)

How Obama’s Hollywood Backers Have Outsourced Jobs
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/08/how-obamas-hollywood-backers-have-outsourced-jobs

Another week, another Hollywood fundraiser for President Obama. And why not? From George Clooney’s house in Los Angeles to Sarah Jessica Parker’s townhouse in Manhattan, the Hollywood crowd has been a virtual ATM for the Obama campaign.
All that Hollywood cash has helped pay for ads hammering Mitt Romney for maximizing profits by shipping American jobs overseas during his time at the helm of Bain Capital. But Hollywood knows a thing or two about outsourcing too.
See more celebrities that have endorsed 2012 candidates here.
Movie-making is big business, of course. And, when it comes to maximizing profits, the President’s top celebrity supporters have benefited from from outsourcing, Hollywood-style.
Here’s a fresh example: “The Dark Knight Rises,” starring Morgan Freeman (who recently gave Priorities USA, the Obama SuperPAC, $1 million) and Ann Hathaway (who is co-hosting an Obama fundraiser with Harvey Weinstein tonight). There is no more quintessentially American city than Gotham. But where were half the Gotham scenes shot? In the United Kingdom and China. Going overseas may have meant fewer jobs for American workers, but, presumably some tax breaks and fewer union rules.
And then there’s Hollywood legend Harvey Weinstein, who is hosting tonight’s high-dollar fundraiser for President Obama. Mr. Weinstein’s long list of movie credits includes many films that, that although set in the United States, were filmed primarily in foreign countries. Outsourcing, pure and simple.
UPDATE: The Motion Picture Association of America argues out that the American movie industry is a significant source of jobs in the United States, a driver of the domestic economy and a sector that boasts a big trade surplus.
“The industry supports 2.1 million jobs across the country and in states like Louisiana, North Carolina and Georgia, where tax incentives have helped the industry explode over the past few years, the industry is actually a huge domestic economic driver,” says MPAA spokesman Kate Bedingfield.
The raw numbers suggest Bedingfield is correct: There were $13.5 billion in film and television exports in 2010. The industry has created jobs in some unlikely places. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2010, the movie industry was responsible for 81,119 jobs (and $3.5 billon in wages) in Georgia; 21,271 jobs in Louisiana and 26,992 jobs in North Carolina.
Bedingfield also takes issue with our mention of the movie The Dark Knight Rises, which was shot, in part, in the United Kingdom and Canada. Bedingfield points out that major parts of the film’s production was also done in the United States, creating lots of jobs here at home.

Carney: Being President "Restricts" Obama's Ability To Campaign
RCP Video ^ | 8-7-2012
Posted on Tuesday, August 07, 2012 4:18:09
White House press secretary Jay Carney says being president restricts President Obama from focusing "entirely on the campaign."
Jay Carney: "... It certainly is part of running for president and running for reelection. But as we've discussed here, it is a simple reality that even as he is a candidate for reelection, he continues to be president of the United States. And the demands of the job restrict his capacity, in some instances, to focus entirely on the campaign. ....."

Mitt Romney's the idiot? ::) For DECADES, his job was turning around failing businesses. Then, he became Governor of Massachusetts, where he actually got stuff done
What did he get done? A gun ban? Socialized medicine? Liberals appointed to state court? Yeah, he caved to liberals is what he did - all while shouting about how much he hated the NRA and supported abortion rights. And where did his state rank in job creation during his term?
There's a good reason that Romney isn't talking about his performance as governor - it sucked.
