Here is something that a staffer of President Reagan's administration said

Mark McKinney an aid for President G.W. Bush had this to say.

Does this mean that President Obama doesn't have his own issues?
Of course not. One thing I don't like about President Obama was the way his administration treated Shirley Sherrod unfairly before all of the facts about that dipshit Breitbart's hit piece on her came out.
However, with the state of Governor Romney's campaign with prominent republicans questioning how it is being run.
You can't honestly say that there isn't something wrong with it at the moment.
It would be bad enough if it was just pundits saying things but there has also been at least one republican candidate running for office this election cycle that has made a similar statement about Governor Romney.

The central problem revealed by the tape is Romneys theory of the 2012 election. It is that a high percentage of the electorate receives government checks and therefore wont vote for him, another high percentage is supplying the tax revenues and will vote for him, and almost half the people dont pay taxes and presumably wont vote for him.
My goodness, thats a lot of people who wont vote for you. You wonder how he gets up in the morning.
This is not how big leaders talk, its how shallow campaign operatives talk: They slice and dice the electorate like that, they see everything as determined by this interest or that. Theyre usually young enough and dumb enough that nobody holds it against them, but they dont know anything. They dont know much about America.
Damn... it's hard to say that you're living up to President Reagan's example when you're getting this kind of flak from a person who actually was on his staff.Its time to admit the Romney campaign is an incompetent one. Its not big, its not brave, its not thoughtfully tackling great issues. Its always been too small for the moment. All the activists, party supporters and big donors should be pushing for change. People want to focus on who at the top is least constructive and most responsible. Fine, but Mitt Romney is no puppet: He chooses who to listen to. An intervention is in order. Mitt, this isnt working.

Well, the release of the Romney tape was a moment that certainly revealed something about him. But not what I was hoping for. Just the opposite. It reveals a deeply cynical man, who sees the country as completely divided, as two completely different sets of people, and who would likely govern in a way that would only further divide us.
Damning words.What about seniors on limited incomes who do not pay taxes? What about veterans? What about even middle-income families with young children and the deductions that go with them? They are not victims, although they might now view themselves that way under a Romney administration.
How can anyone support a candidate with this kind of a vision of the country? Isnt a divided America under Obama what folks on the right rail against?

Of course not. One thing I don't like about President Obama was the way his administration treated Shirley Sherrod unfairly before all of the facts about that dipshit Breitbart's hit piece on her came out.

Senator Scott Brown from Mass.I disagree with Governor Romney's insinuation that 47% of Americans believe they are victims who must depend on the government for their care. I know that the vast majority of those who rely on government are not in that situation because they want to be. People today are struggling because the government has failed to keep America competitive, failed to support job creators, and failed to get our economy back on track.
So what can Governor Romney and his supporters do?Massachusetts Republican Sen. Scott Brown wrote in an email to The Hill, "That's not the way I view the world. As someone who grew up in tough circumstances, I know that being on public assistance is not a spot that anyone wants to be in. Too many people today who want to work are being forced into public assistance for lack of jobs."
