VIDEO: Mitt Romney awkwardly uses white board to explain Medicare

I can’t TELL you how relieved I am that Professor Willard went to South Carolina and explained how he’ll save Medicare and what a fool I’ve been to believe our evil Kenyan Marxist socialist president and his evil Kenyan Marxist socialist plan to keep Willard and his sidekick Paul from killing Medicare.

Except he forgot the part where President Obama “hasn’t taken a single red cent out of Medicare benefits, and the second is that the Ryan plan has the exact same $700 billion in cuts.”

And this:

    GottaLaff, you rock!!  I’m having a good laugh right now!  After I posted this to my FB page, I wrote that Romney is lying to the people of SC, and that I hate lying.  One of my FB “friends” is a former student who lives in SC.  He didn’t like hearing the truth, so he responded  with: “If you don’t like liars, then you don’t like Obama.”  I got under his skin.  He couldn’t respond to the facts, so as a right-winger, he decided to create a false equivalency.  PBO is very conscientious about getting things right.  This doesn’t mean that he never makes mistakes, but when it comes to a willingness to tell Americans the truth, PBO doesn’t duck, dodge, and lie like Romney, and my former student knows it.  If he could have refuted the facts, he would have, but he didn’t, and he couldn’t.  He didn’t listen when I told him and my other students to think for themselves.  Most of my FB friends are former colleagues and students who identify themselves as “conservative.”  I’m using my FB page to try to wake them from the stupor of lies that the GOP has them trapped in.  Whenever I get a response like the one I just received from my former student, it delights me because it means I just may have caused them to think harder than they’re used to thinking.  I never respond to their comments since I’m not interested in a engaging in a debate with them, only in sharing facts that encourage them to think.  Thanks, GottaLaff!

    I’m a retired teacher, and if I had done a presentation like the one Romney did when I was being evaluated, I would have received failing scores.  Romney has a schtick for every group of voters in every state.  He knows that most South Carolinians are Fox and Beck  admirers, so he brought the whiteboard to his SC rally.

    I like the hocus pocus!  We do nothing, we become solvent …magically!  On the other hand, with all those cuts, you’d think….just maybe, it would actually improve the financial outlook?  

    But nooOOOoo o oOOo oO ooO O o!  He doesnt’ get that he just wrote, on his little white board, TWO PLUS TWO…EQUALS SIXTEEN.  Because he said so, right?  

    LOL
