" That's Mitt Romney, desperately trying to make Republicans like him by blaming President Barack Obama for the failure of the Super Congress because he secretly wanted to cut defense spending under the trigger.

ROMNEY: In a setting like this, the idea that we’re going to devastate our military is simply unacceptable. I would call on the president and do call on the president to immediately introduce legislation which says we will not have a $600 billion cut to America’s military. We should not cut any funding from our base defense budget, that should not occur. And I would apply the $600 billion that were anticipated on being imposed upon the military, I would take those and apply them into other parts of the federal budget. And there are a number of candidates for that, one of course would be to take something like Medicaid, which is our health care program to the poor and return that program to the states…by doing that you more than compensate for the $600 billion that would be restored to the defense budget.

1. Some people are just plain evil. nt

2. It is so obvious that Romney is ill-eqipped to even be thinking

about running the show. His robotic body language and verbal delivery shows he is hesitant and insecure about his proposals.

5. Romney

If he gets the nomination he just gave Obama great material for an attack ad.Wanting to cut Medicaid to keep High defense budget intact.He Is kinda of an Idiot.

6. This makes no sense at all

It's more trickle down crap. In this case, it's trickle down debt to the states. The states are already drowning in debt. Let's add more debt, so we can keep our mercenary army in places that don't even want us. He is an idiot.

7. Romney has to show his war-mongering base that he's a pro-military potential Commander n' Chief.

Romney is nothing more than a snake, elitist, chicken-hawk willing to send anyone to the front lines of world conflicts instigated by corporate-hand puppets like himself YET, you will NEVER see any one of his FIVE SONS sign up to serve and sacrifice for their country. Such sacrifice is pretty much left up to the red-blooded underprivileged and poor population and not for fine, privileged blue-blood stock like his sons. Where is the media?
