In a round of
interviews, the Republican candidate, Willard M. Romney, defended his account of his role at Bain,
and said President Obama owed him an apology for an aide's suggestion that the
Security and Exchange Commission filings, if false, could bring a felony
charge."This is simply beneath the dignity of the presidency of the United
States," Romney told ABC.
Unfortunately, none of the interviewers asked Romney about the story that
he actually outsourced Massachusetts jobs while governor of that state. None of the interviewers asked Romney about
any of the 59 statements proven to be inaccurate that he made while competing
for the Republican nomination. The
various interviewers also failed to ask Romney whether the negative comments
made by his Republican contenders for the nomination also were deserving of
apology. Telling the truth is not just the providence of the President, but
should also be a requirement of anyone hoping to be elected to that office. Where are the apologies from Romney or his
staff for any of the following
ten lies from
Romney:
1.
Romney lied
about his own first name
2.
Romney lied
about defense spending and falsely claiming Obama has made "huge"
cuts in the defense budget
3.
Romney's staff
gloated about his TV ad lied about Obama and the economy
4.
Romney's lied
that Obama has increased the national debt more than all other presidents
combined
5.
Romney's lied
about his plans to give huge tax cuts to people like himself
6.
Romney's lied about President Obama's so-called
"Apology Tour"
7.
Romney's lied
about his father and Martin Luther King
8.
Romney's lied
that President Obama is responsible for ALL the job losses in the
recession
9.
Romney caught
lied by Rachel Maddow about his "Obama made the recession worse"
remarks
10. Romney lied about the activities of his
SuperPac in Iowa
By the way, for any
readers of this blog, this is but ten of fifty-nine instances where Willard
Mitt Romney failed to tell the truth. Is this what we have come to expect from an American President,
even a Republican President?
