"No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate." - Mitt Romney

If I was Mr. Obama...

"No one ever asked to see my tax returns.

No one's ever asked me to put my money in off-shore tax havens.

No one's ever asked me to forget I signed a health care bill.

No one's ever asked me to avoid talking about my political past.

No one's ever asked me to remove a dog from the roof of my car.

No one's ever had to keep asking me when I retired.

No one's ever asked me to build an elevator for my cars.

No one's ever asked me to drive companies out of business and feast on their debt.

No one's ever asked me to wear magic underwear.

No one's ever asked me to baptize dead jews.

No one's ever told me to change my political opinion about gays, planned parenthood, abortion, or gun control.

No one's ever asked me to constantly lie about almost everything in order to become president.

No one's ever asked me to gain political advantage by appealing to racists."

At the RNC on Tuesday night they're going to feature a small businesswoman who "built it herself"... although she really built it on $15 million in government contracts. She didn't have a web site so a helpful redditor built her one listing all of her "go-it-alone" achievements:

Oh, That Mitt.

The Economist magazine asks, and not very nicely, "So Mitt, what do you really believe? A quote from the article:

"Competence is worthless without direction and, frankly, character. Would that Candidate Romney had indeed presented himself as a solid chief executive who got things done. Instead he has appeared as a fawning PR man, apparently willing to do or say just about anything to get elected."

Esquire Magazine calls Mitt Romney "The Leader of Led Men". A quote from the article:

"He made the bobsleds run on time, we can say that for him. But, honestly, converting a festival of international bribery into a celebration of provincial crony capitalism isn't exactly rolling your men up San Juan Hill."

What did Reuters get wrong about Romney's energy plan? Quite a bit, it seems. A quote from the article:

"Holland's report also failed to challenge Romney's ludicrous assertion that we can drill our way to energy independence in eight years."
