Rmoney just blew his 3:00 a.m. phone call

[ProfessionalLeftist]

doubling / tripling down on his lie about the U.S. Embassy statement last night - and still accusing the President of sympathizing with the killers.

Stunning incompetence.

1. if this doesn't disqaulify him I don't know what will?

20. Hopefully this:

2. Any independent or swing voter will know

President Obama is not stupid enough to "sympathize with the killers."

[bullwinkle428]

3. Sounds like the Obama campaign just had a new commercial made for them!

Thanks, Mittens!

[quinnox]

4. Romney showed he is not fit for the presidency

I didn't feel any reassurance or see any strength in that performance, he seemed like he didn't know what he was talking about and was emotional, upset and rambling. This is not presidential material.

21. Neither was Bush

That didn't stop him.

5. Bingo! n/t

6. Keep digging Mitt

those poll numbers are gonna keep shrinking.

[GeorgeGist]

7. Stunning incompetence ... like this.

[central scrutinizer]

8. he's a "uniter" not a divider

NOT!

[Javaman]

10. I think mittens slogan should be...

"Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!"

9. lost mittens gets a call at 3 AM...

"Hmmm, should I pick it up or shouldn't I? I know, I'll tell them that I picked it up, but won't actually pick it up and later when they tell me that I lied and didn't actually pick it up, I'll say, technically you are correct that I didn't pick it up, but then I'll say that there is a phone in my room and it rang and I looked at it. yeah, that's perfect!"

11. Romney

is just so desperate, he is showing that he is a total fucking idiot

[classof56]

13. Well said, Dave. And welcome to DU from a neighbor to the south.

Have lived in WA and OR--both are equally awesome IMHO!

[avebury]

12. K&R nt

[Waiting For Everyman]

14. Yes, he sure did blow it.

And it will get worse, as writers start posting more pieces on this. It's looking ugly for him on Twitter already.

Plus, I betcha they are clueless enough that Ryan will come out and jump on the bandwagon too.

[RedSpartan]

15. I could not agree more.

His response was partisan, not Presidential. The absolute wrong thing to do in this situation. A stunning (but perhaps not surprising) failure and, not only that, but an incredibly offensive one.

[hue]

16. Yes this is a prime example of Rmoney's total incompetence!! I doubt the sheeples will "get it"!

[PatrynXX]

19. unless your redstate.com

truth doesn't matter. X_X which to me means red state is anti Jew and anti Christ. Because he would thus ignore the thou shalt not lie bit. X_X

[PatrynXX]

17. ended up retweeted on this

but answered it basically (expanded here for dramatic effect) Mitt at 3am.. what? we've been bombed? quick bomb back. .... after they've bombed wherever.. then he says now who attacked us? O_O Hey Bush did the same thing. Flew UBL's family out of the USA on the 12th I believe. Flunked that 3am phone call so bad it's called a knee jerk We all do it. But he could kill someone, possibly the good guys if he had a 3am phone call.

[Shae]

18. Silly. All calls after 10 pm are taken by the staff.

[BootinUp]

22. "We are not going to let our campaign be dictated to by voters!"

Romney campaign statement the day before the election.

[Blue Owl]

23. pResident Evil would have hamfisted the red button at 3:01am

Keep this dangerous war monger away from the oval office...
