Mitt Romney Compares President Obama to Kim Kardashian

January 4, 2012 By Staff 38 Comments

The Huffington Post is reporting that Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney has compared President Obama to Kim Kardashian.

“I’ve been looking at some video clips on YouTube of President Obama, then candidate Obama, going through Iowa making promises,” he said. “I think the gap between his promises and his performance is the largest I’ve seen, well, since the Kardashian wedding and the promise of til death do we part.”

Romney made the remark while campaigning in Council Bluffs, Iowa over the weekend. Romney has been known for not being aware of pop culture, which likely is his reasons for using Kardashian references throughout the campaign. In fact, he also said that his favorite book is “Twilight,” the series of vampire films aimed at teenagers.

Who really cares about what Mitt Romney thinks about our president? The Republicans have already called him everything under the sun, their name-calling and foolish comparisons won’t assist in getting them elected. On the contrary, it will assure President Obama another four years in office.

What PLANET is Mitt Romney from (and all Rethuglicans for that matter) where they cannot see nor acknowledge the masterful way President Obama has dug this country out of the stinking financial hole Dick Cheney/George Bush left us in in 2008. Cheney and his gun shooting/Halliburton rip off of US soliders and veterans scandals are the stuff of Kim Kardashian and her ilk. As for my hard working presiden: I’m fired up…..ready to go vote for him again!

I can’t believe the level of race hatred spewing from the republican candidates. If they could have done better they should have run and won in the last election. Couldn’t do it could they?

Mitt Romney have other issues, like his relegious belief, until sept 30, 1978 the morman were teaching that black could not go to there kind of heaven and that we were the devil rep on earth. Call black folk lamanites,coures with dark skin where is Herman Cain when you need him

NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD NEED CAIN THE PAINFOR ANYTHING. HE WAS A BOUGHT AND PAID FOR JERK OF A CLOWN THAT THE REPUBLICAN MORONS GOT TIRED OF AND THREW HIM OUT LIKE THEY DID THE EX GOP CHAIRMAN. CAIN THE PAIN IS A TOTAL DISGRACE TO HIS RACE AND HIS FAMILY.

stopthstupidity

These clowns are trying anything in order to get the attention of ruthless, ignorant people with mindsets like their own. They are not interested in the good of society at large, just getting a black man out of office and their interests met. Anyone who would put any one of those jerks in office after the display of absolute buffoonary is crazy.

The last difference making election was 2010 when the TeaPublican Confederacy won the majority seats in the US House of Representatives, not 2008 when Pres. Obama was elected. The reason Our President has been made to appear so ineffective is because of the outcome of the 2010 election. That outcome was possible because the voters who put Mr Obama in office did not show up at the polls in 2010. They did not know how our government works.

Since then more uninformed Black voters and non Black independents, who expected some return of Jesus Christ effortless American transformation, have turned on Mr. Obama. Daily there are defections of the misinformed who fall victim to the right wing talking points of the White racist confederate propaganda machine. Maxzine Waters and other way too comfortable Negro reps joined the ugliness publically doing something that members of the other side will never do. Selfish, ignorant, cowardly and pathetic. So why wouldn’t Romney follow suit? Ever heard of two rich Negro talkers named Tavis Smiley and Cornell West?

Don’t do our do diligence to get out the vote for Pres. Obama in 2012 and it will be hell to pay going forward. Mitt Romney and some extreme conservative will be in the white house with lawn jockey Herman Cain grinnin and throwin up their gang sign.

Um.. interesting comment. Made to APPEAR so ineffective… He IS ineffective. The 2010 race simply PROVED it. As for “not knowing how our government works” THAT is the fault of the teacher’s unions & the democrat party. If they keep blacks in ignorance they rule a permanent underclass. I’m not a fan of Romney, ’cause he’s not conservative ENOUGH

Oh puhleeze you sound like a fool…Rochester has never been known for its intelligence…

So basically you can’t refute what I’ve said, you have to result to insults. (BTW Rochester is home to Kodak, Xerox, Bausch and Lomb, University of Rochester, RIT….)

Do you approve of General Electric paying $0 in federal income taxes in a recent tax years?

Rochesternative

All companies should pay federal income taxes BUT so should all the citizens. When companies pay income taxes those costs get passed onto the consumer thru higher prices, it’s kind of a catch 22.

@b67b8f126c68e2a0522468c5d3afc90e:disqus You said. “. If they keep blacks in ignorance they rule a permanent underclass.”
I’ll have you to know that not only are “blacks” to be poorly educated and kept divided and ignorant, but the whole US population is to be manipulated, conditioned, brainwashed, misguided, segregated, miseducated, drugged, contaminated, cheated, robbed, lied to, instigated, deceived, and kept in gross ignorance, and some even murdered if necessary! We “blacks”, or ‘Africans’, if you will, are a special case to the ‘Anglo-elite’. We are targeted by those psychopaths on a level that is off the charts!

Keep a mindful eye on who has controlled this country from the beginning, the tactics they’ve used to eliminate their foes, and the processes they’ve created to fill their (OCD inspired) coffers with unimaginable wealth! It behooves those kind of ‘elite-rulers’ to screw everyone and keep us all in near pitch black darkness from actual wisdom and enlightenment while they ply us with enough fantasy and propaganda to keep themselves in power for centuries to come!

Therefore you can skip the patriotic brainwashed claptrap we’ve been plied with, and you can dismiss the democracy and freedom BS. In fact you must realize that the whole nation was built on, and is still functioning under a ton of deaths, lies, deceit, thefts, and gross propaganda designed with you in mind!

Rochesternative

Wonderous: You have a wonderful grasp of vocabulary, I’m not sure about your grasp of reality however. Even IF all the stuff you mentioned is true, what’s the plan? Even if the country is built on lies (which…yeah, don’t buy it) it’s still the BEST country in the world. It’s the one with the BEST standard of living, it’s the one people around the world LONG to come to…

@c1b39301678272fa5856131109a84da8:disqus I’m sorry but you believe in things you don’t understand. But I don’t know if you are suffering as badly as the millions, or possibly billions of people who also believe in things they don’t understand or don’t know!

Most people are not very politically savvy, but what makes matters worse is that some who think themselves politically savvy and who actually participate in the political spectrum of this US society and it’s so-called “democracy”, are so conditioned into believing things they don’t understand, and worse don’t know, that they plow blindly forward promoting crooked people in a crooked system, and crooked leadership process, that is well beyond their mental clarity, and well beyond their wildest imagination.

They boastfully pat themselves on the backs and sing the praises of [men] while they all merely work around the edges of a sociopolitical structure which is plagued with racism, human-abuse, secreted treacheries, gross deceptive activities, mountainous lies, trillions in stolen public wealth, gross genocide, insane rhetoric, and greedy appetites for power and wealth fit for kings.

People who believe in things they don’t and can’t understand will greatly suffer, but some profit and live lavishly off the suffering and deaths of others! Some who believe in things they can’t understand are like ignorant little children taking candy from bad men, but if, and when, they realize their mistake its too late!

If a person can’t tell the difference between good men who love and care for you and bad men who would just as well kill you and take your life savings, then that person is truly believing in things he seriously can’t understand! The question then becomes. Does that person really care if what he believes in is a well orchestrated con, a lie? So. Are you suffering enough? Or at all?

To be a President of this country you must be a man prepared to go in any direction necessary to provide safety and security for the American people. All of these fancy titles that label all of these different groups of Americans is stupid and unreal. Honesty and Integrity in business and politics is what is lacking. WHAT GOES ON IN THE DARK HAS COME TO THE LIGHT,WE SEE THE REAL YOU MR ROMNEY,MR TO OLD PAUL, MRS BACNMAN AND THE REMAINDER OF THESE CLOWNS. OUTSIDE OF YOUR GROUP OF GROOPIES NO ONE REALLY CARES WHAT THEY THINK. YOU WILL NEVER SEE THE OVAL OFFICE. ENJOY YOUR 25% AND UNDER.

WILLARD, THE MOUSE ROMNEY IS TRULY TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF. HE HAS NO BACKBONE AND CANNOT THINK FOR HIMSELF. HE HAD TO BRING HIS WIFE TO SPEAK AND HIS SONS AROUND HIM. HE IS POOR EXCUSE FOR A REAL MAN.
Toni

Mitt Romney is suppose to be a religious man but, decides to attack The President of The US for political gain. His attack was personal and this makes it worse. I do not know much about his religious belies but, I would think that anyone that considers themselves religious would not stoop to his level. Furthermore, is he so naive that he cannot understand that The President can only do as much as what Congress and The Senate would allow. You have one Kentucky Senator that makes it his business to make our President a one term President. I do not understand his time being spend to do this for when he is suppose to work for the people of Ketucky I did not think it entailed working against another person that is working for the American People. Romney needs to keep his personal opinions to himself for KARMA is real.
Firstladyj28

What the HELLA ,Mr Romney allow me to school you on speaking ill of a Good Black Man one you are clearly a hater two our President is doing what he is suppose to do, stop throwing dirt over the Man Good Black one at that third aren’t you running for that seat it might be wise not to anger the Amercian Race of Black Voters you should also know even if Mr. Obama was dragging his bottom his still get the Amercian Black Voter Vote, you can stop fishing in our Race because as long as Mr. Obama can stay in office then dangit that is where he will Reside for another 4 years just like Mr Clinton player player from way back he got the Rock the Vote from Amercian Black Voters and as long as Mr. Obama skin stays Black ( not saying he is going to change colors) and Mrs. Obama continues to Rock those Pearly Whites and short sleeves then the White House and all others who disagree will just have to suck it up and deal with it. The Man came into a jacked up House what he should have done was fired everybody and did a do over because it is clear Bush started that War and since Obama sits in the Oval office he did something Bush did not try harder enough to do and that is search under every rock every home used the sense God gave the man and got Bin out of the way, point being where is your Respect for that Mr. Romney you do know Respect is earned and it takes a lot to get others to dance to your kind of drum beat but with Respect toyour President as well as mine run your race, have Pride in knowing that you are running and doing your best to bring people into your fold because as along as you continue to be 17 years old (high school age) you will never get Respect period oh and I am voting for Obama.

And keep Mr. Obama’s name out of your mouth when you are speaking on KIM K, she is a soicallite in her fathers Rite or maybe you didn’t know that, he wealth comes from being a trust fund baby

Our President ran his ran and won , stop talking about him and comparing him to those who only seeks attention by pulling stunts, and I am no hater of Kim don’t know her and dont care to know her my opinion is all that is.

Rochesternative

Wow. Can we say runon sentence? “The man” came into a house (and senate) filled with democrats. If he couldn’t fix the country then…then he doesn’t have a prayer now. The only way he’s going to get reelected is in the Republicans pick Ron Paul.

Marjani

More proof of why the American people should not be hiring him for President. (a) He watches WAAAAY too much Kim Kardahshian. If he knows that much about her, I’m more qualified to be President than he is. I watch the President, not the Kardashians. (b) Pres Obama didn’t get “discovered” by crocking his legs up in the air for the brother of a famous singer. If America lets the Republican Party take back over this country–and it’s succeeded in nothing except showing us a glimpse of one level of Dante’s Inferno, the one beneath “Limbo,” looks like; it will get exactly what it deserves. The GOP turned America into the “whore of Babylon,” so if anyone is “like” Kim Kardashian, it’s the entire Republican Party. Romney and his cohorts would know.

Rochesternative, good grammar and usage is not necessary when posting. Stick to the topic and don’t throw stones.

I usually don’t write comments or make posts but, I am just so sick of insecure politicians trying to get a position by putting down their opponents. In the long run, it just makes them look like punks. That’s exactly what mitt is, a punk. No matter what he really thinks about the president, he is the president. Our country is the way it is because people don’t respect the position. We all know that President Obama hasn’t done anything close to the crap of his predecessors. What mitt and his gang should do is find ways to support the position, whether he likes the person or not. Too many times, failure happens because people take on personal issues. This doesn’t just happen in politics but an many arenas. When something is wrong, it’s wrong so stick to your values and morals. But at least let something be wrong before hating on something. The president runs a country and needs support from everyone. We all know our country was already tore up when Mr. Obama
took office. mitt needs to get a grip and try to find out what the people really want and stop being an insecure hater, a punk. All this negativiy will not result in anything positive. Also, if it should happen( and I pray it doesn’t) and mitt becomes president, he’d better be ready to take what he is dishin cause it’s coming. He should make sure he looks at the plank in his eye before trying to focus on the speck in Mr. Obama’s. Luke 6:41

Rochesternative

I agree that perfect grammar et. al is not necessary when posting, however, the post I was referring to was difficult to read due to lack of structure and punctuation. We all make mistakes.
I agree Mitt needs to get a grip. The problem is Mitt has done so much flip-flopping that no one REALLY knows what he thinks about anything. Obama has not made the country any less “torn up” black unemployment is through the roof. What EXACTLY has he done? (Bin Laden aside…)

DeeCee

What has he done? OK, let’s see if I can cite a few things that can be verified easily.
1) Lead the passage of a health care reform bill through Congress. As a result, young adults can stay on their parents health insurance, people can’t get penalized for having a previous condition and fewer people will wind up bankrupt.
2) Signed a bill into law that repeals Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell
3) Signed a pay-equity bill into law to protect women’s earnings
4) Navigated the demise of M. Khadafy in a coordinated effort with US allies – not like cowboys
5) Increased the funds for Pell Grants
6) Removed the middle man bankers and for profit financiers from the student loan program
7) Over-saw the creation of the Consumer Protection Agency Provided for a tax cut for millions of working Americans in 2009 and 2010.
9) Oversaw the restructuring of the American auto industry from losses to profitability.
10) Oversaw the re-imbursement of millions of dollars that had been given to banks/financial institutions as a result of the Bush/Obama bail out packages.
11) presided over (at least 12 months) of job growth, reversing YEARS of job losses that occured under the Bush presidency
12) AND “found” Bin Laden despite the previous president’s “I’m not worried about him” posture (oops, you said don’t mention this one!)
13) Presided over an increase of, at least, 75% of Wall Street’s earnings so that our 401Ks stopped plummeting.

He might have been successful getting more done if the Republicans hadn’t flip flopped on Cap & Trade, the public mandate or the Dream Act. But, that wouldn’t fit into your narrative would it?

Rochesternative

DeeCee
A couple of things:
#11 job growth? where? Government jobs DON’T count since the taxpayers pay for those paychecks
#10 Reinbursment of millions…maybe, doesn’t balance the TRILLIONS he’s spent along with those he still plans to spend
#9 Auto industry…you mean the Chevy Volt? Really? I read somewhere that each Volt will cost 225,000 in taxpayer money. Sorry, government has no business bailing out business. NO business is “too big to fail” I didn’t agree when Bush bailed either.
#1 HEALTH CARE? Are you kidding? Have you ever had medicare? Government has no business running ANY business (I might have said that already) Kids staying on parent’s policies until they are 26? When are they going to grow up and move out? Mine are gone when they graduate high school.
#2 DADT, repealing that was good how? Our military needs to be a lean, mean fighting machine and our men and women in the trenches don’t need distractions. The military isn’t supposed to be touchy-feely. People join the military to protect the country.
Items #5-9 Whose going to PAY for all that? Your grandchildren.

As for Cap & Trade, again government needs to GET OUT of making regulations so that businesses can make JOBS

Dream Act: Come here legally. Learn English. Be American.

It really doesn’t take much intelligence to be a politician. In fact you’ll find that most politicians are completely retarded! Is it possible for retarded people to receive degrees from US educational institutions? Of course it is! Can students cheat or buy their way through college? Of course they can! Are colleges teaching all US citizens how to be better human beings, and the truth about the nature of this society? Of course they aren’t!

Can an imbecile be used as a puppet leader of a country? Of course! Just ask GW Bush. or Mitt Romney, or M. Bachman, or Ron Paul, or S. Palin, or Clarence Thomas, or Herman Cain, or any of the sociopaths running for any political office! Ask any of the Supreme Court posers, and ask any of the military generals sending our youth into these fake ‘elite’-concocted wars! Don’t bother to ask the general population though, because most of them don’t have proper education, live in a fantasy world, and don’t have a clue!

Imagine living in a country where the the culture, political infrastructure, traditional processes, and belief systems are predetermined and set to indoctrinate each new life or individual. Imagine that the people who were vile enough to travel thousands of miles to literally take the land from people already here no matter what, continue today. Imagine that those same vile ‘Anglo-elite” had used the same process everywhere they traveled which they mastered to a point of near perfection. Imagine that these tyrants learned new methods and strategies with every acquisition. Imagine that they also knew what messages they had to instill in the minds of the masses which were sure to come and fill their territories and their pockets. They had to use a well proven method of keeping humans from acting like the animals they surely are, therefore some kind of religious and “God” beliefs were a must to surely be installed! They knew that the masses must believe that they have some control so some type of agreements (constitution and rights) had to be written for the masses, even if the elite would not need to follow them. Some kind of system had to be created to determine which people held the most power, so landowners were favored. If there were going to be slavery, special rules and laws had to be set up to create a consciousness for the masses which would condone slavery and build up a mental abhorrence to the actual slaves. In this case demonizing skin-color would be best for a long lasting period of animalistic abuse.

Imagine if you will that these elites were already well versed at creating social environments and most of their strategies came from already functioning European social structures.All they really needed to do was to make sure they perfectly sold the cons they were laying into place to the masses!

This is where we are today! A nation filled with people who have been born and raised into the most well thought out and massive con game known to man! We were born into it so it feels natural to accept this sordid structure as something that is real and fair and only needs more work. When in reality the elite never intended for everyone to live in peace, wealth, freedom, democracy and equality, but sold it to everyone and most are still acting under those pretentious fantasies. The fact that everything is layered on top of everything else makes it easy for people to accept this ‘farce’ that should be as obvious as the nose on our faces. But most people have very weak psychological strengths and the elite know this better than anyone. We are easily given to well planned cons and we are by nature trusting of people we see as famous, wealthy and powerful. This is why we believe in unbelievable things, and participate in a system that is run by psychopaths while most of us can’t tell the difference between good and bad or truth and lies.

So all our imaginations are tinged with deceptions. All of our desires are tinged with social greed and selfishness. All of our attitudes and perceptions of others are tinged with mixtures of disrespect, misunderstandings, racist inclinations, misinterpretations, cultural differences, sexual preconceptions, skin color despise, traditional superstitions, and a host of psychological faults that in some cases enhance our feelings but in many cases destort our proper sense of others. And we are also copiers. We are animals addicted to the monkey-see-monkey-do syndrome, and our inward drives to accumulate are fueled by the psychiatric devices created by the [elite's] marketing strategies.

In a shortened conclusion I express to you that we are victimized by the same types who victimized the earlier populations of Natives, and the great populations of African nations. The same groups that created this facade of a nation with treachery, deaths and lies are still at it! They pass the mantle to the next generation of elite. They continue the facade as they proceed to rape and pillage the world! We “Americans” quibble and quarrel over the mundane social blocks the elite have created to annoy and distract us as they plot to commit great world pillage and genocide without the slightest fear of detection or threat! And here we are actually believing that we are picking and choosing representatives in good faith when there is no “good faith” to be had!

So you think that my offerings are far fetched? I think that murdering a land filled with Native Americans and teaching the remainder about God and Christianity is farfetched. I think that shipping millions of African men, women, and children here for purposes of slavery, rape, trade, and profit is far fetched! I think that “blacks” who praise and believe in the same “God” and religions passed to them by the Whites who’s ancestors enslaved their ancestors is way far fetched!!!
