Romney Blasts Obama: '180 Degree' Flip on Iran Nukes

It should come as no surprise that Mr. Romney used the old political trick of quoting accurately-but-out-of-context. What the President actually said in Cairo was, "No single nation should pick and choose which nations hold nuclear weapons. That is why I strongly reaffirmed America's commitment to seek a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons." Exactly the opposite of what Mr. Romney implied, which was that an apologetic Obama was all for a nuclear-armed Iran. It constantly amazes me that supposedly patriotic public figures like Mr. Romney show such a lack of respect for their President and Commander-in-Chief.

Who cares what Romney says or thinks. The GOP is irrelevant, nobody pays much attention to their BS.

This mornings interview with Mitt Romney was an embarrassment to Mr. Romney but also to 75% of Americans. I used to have so much respect for him and admired his approach to our problems in America but now he is just an embarrassment!!!

What would I have to do to 'think' (if you want to call it that) like a liberal democrat? Nothing short of a complete head and brain transplant. There is no other way for a healthy mind to come to the conclusions the liberals have come to without being in some kind of political stupor or having a dysfunction that requires they be 'led' by the nose. WAKE UP. Snap out of it. The honeymoon is over. This is reality. Can you dig it? (probably not)

These comments by Gov. Romney make me think that he has been getting his foreign policy briefings from Sarah Palin.

Even if we cut you some slack and assume that you were simply misinformed, rather than calculatingly dishonest, you should get the facts before you open your mouth next time.

Who's Mitt Romney again?

Seriously, why does anyone care about what some marginalized republican non-entity like Mitt thinks?

Maybe if he keeps this level of rhetoric up, he can be the next John McCain.

Palin can see Russia from her house and I guess Romney can see Iran from his. They must have either great eyesight or vivid imaginations. I vote for the latter and call it delusion.

Mitt. Your money couldn't buy you the primary. Looks like you're investing in the "Chicken Hawk Gun Shop"

He flip flopped pure and simple. Just as he has done on so many other issues. He has kept Bush's wiretapping policies when he said he would ditch them. Five day period to review legislation and he pushed the stimulus bill thru in less than that. Transparency, what a joke that has become. The energy bill is a tax bill on the middle class. He has stated that taxing health benefits is now a viable option which again will be a tax on everybody.The list goes on and on

Sorry Mitt, "NO" no bid contracts for you in Iran. You might as well think of importing rugs and carpets from them. It is more realistic for your ever growing and successful business.

I liked the question about demographics. He has underestimated just how much trouble this party of hate is in. The republican party is a very narrow spectrum of people in this country and to not acknowledge it shows they don't think there is a problem.

Politics aside, foreign policy aside...... Obama should have hired Mr. Romney to help with the economic crisis. That's what he does for a living.

Romney is a loser and no amount of Obama bashing is going to make the crazy fringe of his Party like him any better. Limbaugh is in control and he loves, Sarah, the clowns on Fox and Chaney. Sorry Mitt but you need to keep your mitts off the President. Nobody cares what you think.

I agree with the guy who said "The only way the GOP can survive is to attract smarter people"

"He flip flopped pure and simple" - Romney fliped on some very fundamental issues, such as abortion, in order to try to win the presidential nomination. For him to go on national TV to accuse Obama of flip flopping is hilarious. I am not a Democrat, but the Republicans are starting to become a laugh riot. Do they even take themselves seriously any more?

Mark from atlanta ++++++++During the campaign obama said he wanted to be held to a higher standard. so I guess you are going to give him a pass on that too?

Mitt Romney's bold-face lie misstating Obama's speech, stating what he said was 180 degrees from what he'd agree to, which by the way means he should be there supporting the president since he did in fact say what Romney stated he would agree to, but when given the opportunity to clarify he instead reinforced the lie a second time. Apart from a mild rebuke, George should have called Romney out on why he would purposely lie twice on national TV since he's clearly misstating the president. Is that to be expected from a potential leader of the republican party? Shame on you Mitt. Shame on George for not pursuing him further on his lying.

The #1 problem with the Bush administration was dishonesty. The GOP needs a leader that is transparent and honest... and does not distort the facts.

I was disappointed @ Romney response to George today all he did was criticizing the president he didn't have any ideas or solutions. I hope he get to watch himself & start to adjust his attitude & start making suggestions that people can be interested in.

In fact it is George who should be embarrased in fact Obama did state in Cairo no one country should determine who has nuclear weapons. Every canidate during the primaries stated it not acceptable to have a nuclear Iran. The President did state weapons not energy as George attempted to "correct".

Interesting way to twist Obama's speech. Who knows if this will be echoed around talk shows tomorrow or not? To me, Mitt Romney represents some intelligent leadership in the GOP, unlike much of what we've seen recently. Unfortunately, if he's perceived as a liar, then he will step back and run with the pack, along with Limbaugh, Cheney, and Gingrich. It will be interesting to see if Mitt can find a way to distinguish himself.

Obama did not say that every country is entitled to a nuclear weapon. It's a flat out lie. While George did push back he was hesitant and perhaps too polite in the face of Romney's demagoguery. While many had hoped that the Republican Party would cooperate and play the role of the loyal opposition, it's clear from Romney's baseless attacks that they intend to distort, mislead and even out right lie whenever and wherever they can. The mainstream media will have to make a choice; either call them out on their misinformation campaign or collude with them. If they are committed to telling the truth, they will do the former.

What a clown! Hey Mitt, selling 2 of your many homes still won't get us to support you. You look like a gameshow host with that Brill Cream Hair and those teeth sponsored by Colgate. In the end you're another Republican empty suit and we Dems and Independants. The Republican party has a lot more in common with Ronald Regan than they know. See like Regan, the Republican party is also DEAD and will stay that way for generations to come!
