Mitt Romney told another joke on the stump today. Responding to some pro-Obama hecklers, Romney said:
“This is kinda like the Greek chorus in the background,” he said, referring to the protesters.
“It reminds me of Obama’s address four years ago in Denver. Remember, he was speaking in front of those Greek columns? … Everything they do reminds us of Greece and we’re not going back Greece, we’re going to get America back to being America,” he said as the crowd roared its approval.
Given how hysterical the left and the Obama campaign got over Romney’s birther joke yesterday, one wonders how they’ll attack Romney for comparing the president to the Greeks.
Or perhaps they’ll go after him for his cultural insensitivity by bringing up the superiority of drama in Western Civilization as opposed to, say Gabonese tone poems, or Himalayan sand art.
Maybe they’ll get their panties in a twist over disrespecting the Greek people by pointing out their economy is in the toilet and Obama’s policies are making us more like them every day.
They might even accuse him of hurting the travel industry by saying “we’re not going back to Greece.”
I think the most likely line of attack will be accusing Romney of not caring about working people. Those Greek columns in Denver were built by the Middle Class and for Romney not to include them shows his callousness toward those who aren’t as rich as he is.
I know he’s insensitive to American geeks because he wants to import more H-1B engineers.
This is like the third or fourth gleeful jab Romney/ Ryan have taken at Obambi over as many days. The “birth certificate” jab, the “Roman Catholic deer hunter clinging to his God & his guns” remark and now this.
El Rushbo suggested that this tactic is intended to ridicule Obama, to show him up as a pretentious and hapless fool, and maybe just to get under his skin. Do you think he just might be right?
Well, they are the “Big tent” Party, no? That must include pedophiles too(gGreek “love”) I suppose anybody who wants to claim grievance status and contrived victimhood to jockey for undeserved positions, power and free money goes for that “tent.”
If they could, the Left would portray the Right as being insensitive to Martians.
Marvin the Martian would be pissed. Becoming a part of a public, political controversy, when he really should just be granted form 2239 stroke B, “Alien Refugee Status.”
