We cannot let Romney get away with that video folks. Yes he "apologized" , but without Obama himself having to say the words 4 and 7, there's still tons of stuff that he should be forced to explain:
There's foreign policy stuff--he showed he wasn't serious about a Middle East peace process. How can foreign leaders take him credibly after that? Also he basically said he'll sable rattle.
He said he has no plans: [paraphrasing] " I wont' have to do anything. Just like that, investors confidence will go up the economy will rebound" He actually SAID THAT. It will be incredible if he and the media somehow succeed in portraying Obama as the 'empty suit'.
Reverse class warfare: There was a dripping, sneering contempt of "the 47%". For me it wasn't the "47%" words that were damning. It was the sneering, "I'll never convince them to take responsibility". There's no spinning that. He can explain away 47% as talking about electoral odds. How do you explain the responsibility comments though?
Immigration policy: Joking about how being Latino would help him. Maybe he was being humorous or whatever....but then maybe he wasn't. And anyway, his immigration policy not exactly compassionate, so he doesn't get to have the benefit of the doubt.
There even may have been something about healthcare but I don't remember.
So basically there's TONS of stuff here outside of the 47% that surrogates should be HAMMERING him over. Repeatedly. Run those ads in swing states, make GOP surrogates answer if thats what Romney and they think.
