Romney’s wife, Ann, was in attendance, and the candidate spoke of the concern he had for her when her plane had to make an emergency landing Friday en route to Santa Monica because of an electrical malfunction.
“I appreciate the fact that she is on the ground, safe and sound. And I don’t think she knows just how worried some of us were,” Romney said. “When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous. And she was choking and rubbing her eyes. Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a safe landing in Denver. But she’s safe and sound.”
Hey Mitt, you can always open the cabin door.
OK, OK, I’ll vote! For anybody you want! Just please please PLEASE have all of these goddamned yammering politicians
SHUT UP! Enough already! Just go ahead and have the election right now because I really don’t give a shit WHICH one of the lying bastards gets the Number One Stealing Position at the Trough, as long as they and all of their little champions ALL just SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT!!!
They collected money from people to talk that much shite and they intent to give the sheeple their money’s worth.

->A nice summation: “The Pukes made the mess and are now complaining that Obama isn’t cleaning it up fast enough so that they can do it again.”<-
Cleaning it up? Creating massive debt. /// Yes, the only pragmatic (Keynesian) response to a massive Stock/Credit/Housing CRASH. Not as much a crash as a reset given the changing/flattening playing field of world markets and the push to computerization and efficiency.
Promoting a change of governments from those who are friends /// aka Criminal Military Dictators
with the U.S. to those who would slit our throats as we sleep. /// They all would, thats why we pay ransom to them.
Increasing regulations via executive fiat more than any other president. /// Talking point. Care to be specific? Like having shut off valves that work on exploding oil wells? THAT kind of evil regulation?
Reducing our liberties. /// Yawn.
Weakening our borders. /// Ha, ha. Borders are porous because thats the way our job creators want them. Get all the wage slaves fighting each other and keep investing in the Caymans.
If by "cleaning up" you mean evicerating our constitution and way of life then I am so very happy he hasn't been "cleaning up" any faster. /// Just call Obama "Bush Light" without the overt Torture.

“Clinton opened the door but didn’t push anything thru.”
sarbanes oxley would like to have a word with you. /// Making something legal, or no longer illegal, doesn't CAUSE anyone to do anything. Its the Banks that decided it was a good idea to steal deposits and over leverage them in unsecured credit swaps.
Or not. Its been done and everything that was wrong with our "system" before the CRASH of 2008 is still here now only WORSE–with everyone having their heads in the sand. The Pukes pushing for this stupidity and the Dumbo's too spineless to fight them.
Given the stupidity of the American Electorate, I can almost not blame the dumbos. The fight would amount to educating the public and hoping for the best: aka, slim pickings.
Maybe after Crash #2, the Public will wake up?
“Hey Mitt, you can always open the cabin door.” /// Most small a/c don’t have cockpit doors. Even those that do…. what difference would this make?
It only takes 2 politicians to screw in a light bulb, but they are either very small politicians, of very big light bulbs.
Sometimes I just think its hopeless. Unless somebody really knows this plane had oxygen masks then the original snide remarks about Mrs. Romney are worse than brain farts. You might be able to open the doors on rental and the reason to get clean air in and smoke out should be obvious as in you breath and see better.
Four more years of going the way we are going and the US is going to make Spain and Greece look prosperous. People will be fighting for the right to go dumpster diving because we are seriously running out of other people’s money. We are running on money borrowed from the Fed and it’s just handing out fake cash transfers as loans and the Treasury is printing more money. If you did a 100% tax on the 1% you would not get enough money to sustain current spending so I’m forced to conclude in a few short years things are going to utterly implode. The dollar will be worthless except as tender and to wipe you butt. The 1% which has already lost 37% of what they had will do it again or worse. Jay Lino wasn’t the only 1%er to take a pay cut.
The WH is utterly clueless in foreign affairs and doesn’t care and it is utterly clueless on economic affairs and is only concerned about getting four more years to redistribute the rapidly vanishing wealth this nation once had. By any metric you want to use the average American is much worse off now than they were four years ago and the nation is in horrendous shape.
Congress is utterly impotent and many of the Dems and maybe as many of the Repubs don’t understand they are about to blow their own brains out along with everybody else’s.
You think I’m wrong? I said the Arab Spring was bad news for the west because the Muslim Brotherhood would take over Egypt and they hated our guts. They want to reestablish the Caliphate and subjugate the world to Islam as they are commanded to do in the Koran. Anybody that bothered to check facts at all had to see this coming from day one.
I had serious reservations about the rest of North Africa. I never thought the timing of the recent attacks on 9/11 was some sort of cosmic accident.
This nation has lost the values that made it great. It is rapidly ceasing to be great. Simple case of cause and effect. This nation isn’t going back to those values. It going forward into the valley of destruction and it, or at least a vast number of voters are counting on our wise leaders and government hand outs to save them. Preeet to that.
do-ill waxing eloquently but as always just as stupidly says:

Sometimes I just think its hopeless. Unless somebody really knows this plane had oxygen masks /// well, thats a good point. I just assumed it was a corporate jet. They all by regulation have masks. Do you think the Rmoney’s were travelling by crop duster?
then the original snide remarks about Mrs. Romney are worse than brain farts. /// I missed those. Not worth reviewing for whatever bon mots got uttered. I have no doubt at all she is a great wife and wonderful mother. “We People” are gracious this way.
You might be able to open the doors on rental and the reason to get clean air in and smoke out should be obvious as in you breath and see better. /// Because rental aircraft are different than non rentals? I wont confirm but this is sounding like the plane, whatever it was, was on the ground? Gee, if that was the case, yeah==on smoke in the cabin, I would exit aircraft asap. Why open a window when you can still blow up?
Four more years of going the way we are going and the US is going to make Spain and Greece look prosperous. /// Now it wouldn’t.
People will be fighting for the right to go dumpster diving because we are seriously running out of other people’s money. /// No, they give it to us interest free cause we are still the strongest international available currency there is.
We are running on money borrowed from the Fed and it’s just handing out fake cash transfers as loans and the Treasury is printing more money. /// Not there yet, but its coming.
If you did a 100% tax on the 1% you would not get enough money to sustain current spending /// so what? Tax on income is only a part of the solution.
so I’m forced to conclude in a few short years things are going to utterly implode. The dollar will be worthless except as tender and to wipe you butt.

The 1% is as shortsighted to their own long terms interests as the 99% is to their short term interests. Kinda life affirming we are all that much the same.
The WH is utterly clueless in foreign affairs /// how so?
and doesn’t care // about what?
and it is utterly clueless on economic affairs // how so?
and is only concerned about getting four more years to redistribute the rapidly vanishing wealth this nation once had. /// Hah, hah. Utter blather.
By any metric you want to use the average American is much worse off now than they were four years ago and the nation is in horrendous shape. /// Stock market up. Jobs increasing not decreasing. Health care more secure. etc. This is all very definitional and I suspect you don’t know what half the words you do use actually mean.
Congress is utterly impotent /// unfortunately, thats not true. What they are is captured by the Corporate Interests and feathering their own nests all to the detriment of America. If they were impotent, that would be a good thing by comparison.

It is rapidly ceasing to be great. /// Define great.

This nation isn’t going back to those values. /// Correct. Always forward, the river of time flows.

Ha, ha. The image I have. GOATSE!!!!
A vest for the guy with the “bb” in his name, STAT!
What small business people think: http://washingtonexaminer.com/55-percent-of-small-business-owners-would-not-start-company-today-blame-obama/article/2509069#.UGN6ZFGAZ8F
This is pretty funny to me. I can’t stop laughing. A window that opens on a plan. That’s a great idea!
We haven’t even entered in the “real” presidential election season.
That begins next week after the first debate.
Romney is the challenger. Obama is the incumbent. Romney has some explaining to do of why a switch should happen.
If Romney’s performance is lackluster, he will likely lose the election.
Meanwhile, Obama has to prove he actually gives a flying fuck and isn’t going to just shovel some more horseshit in our general direction in the form of some words he expects us to forget a few days later.
Romney needs to come across as someone who isn’t some corporate robot, actually gives a shit about the common and has some sort of plan and ideas.
If things go like they have been, Obama gets re-elected with ease.
All the pressure is on Romney is make a connection that he really gives a shit about the problems that middle-class voters are facing every day. Is he a corporate robot? If he is, he’s gonna lose.
But again, until debate #1 happens … everything is in flux. Romney will need to be able to connect with average voters and come across as someone who actually cares and has a plan.
Obama? He’s tired of all this crap and will bust a rehash speech. He might even say something inconsiderate or extremely stupid (“you didn’t build that. someone else did”).
Yet, if Romney comes across as a corporate robot or someone with no plan average people can relate to, Obama’s performance doesn’t matter.
Edge: Obama.
Throwing a lot of dust and smoke and mirrors up into the air not to be a Puke Stooge there HMyers.
but, innocently, maybe your “model” for understanding a year of campaigning is correct and it didn’t have any effect at all for what the current polls show.
or, maybe the concrete is more than half set up now and all the debates will do is allow for people to draw their initials on.
Why would “words” from Rmoney convince anybody of anything except that Rmoney will say anything. I can even imagine 3 debate wins by Rmoney and then after the debates, all the video clips showing that Rmoney is either lying, changed his mind again, or… is a total nincompoop. After all, lots of showing that Rmoney lies has already put Obama ahead now. Why not again?
Rmoney lies. Not only lies, but is proud to do so, confusing lying with bread and butter politics.
You know: “Whats good for the goose, is good for the Gander…. or some kind of sauce….” The man lies and says anything so consistently … he’s not worth listening to.
Ryan is more interesting. Better liar. Its not how he changes what he says, but how he never says the truth by omission. He won’t say he is destroying MediCare, he won’t say he is voucherizing it. Trying to BS the public by words that try to hide the lie.
Silly Pukes and their Stooges – - thinking/acting that lies, obvious lies, outrageous lies are the way to get the pulbic on their side.
Good thing, they are only 47% correct.
Why are you part of the 47% HMyers? Only the 1% should be in the 47%. Are you in the 1% HMyers? I think your stated history is that you are in fact part of the other 47%–you know, the leeches and victims like the rest of us 99%ers.
Ha, ha. Math.
Oxygen masks are much over-rated, Geesh!
All Ann Romney had to do was hit the “Flight Attendant” button next to the overhead light button, push aside the oxygen mask and ask for the pilot to release the window locks, that prevent the windows in passenger cabin from going down!
So that you can get that “oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open.” as Mitt Romney said.
How many idiots does it take to leave a post up for other idiots to continue to post on long after the original premise of the post has been proven to an absolute political lie?
At least some of you are smart enough to know that Romney isn’t black and the Obama didn’t pick Paul Ryan to be his running mate.
Read the truth, then SHUT UP.
http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/09/mitt-romney-joke-joking-airplane-windows.html
If Romoney was telling a joke he forgot to laugh.
So does this mean liberals are going for the dumb label for Romney? They like to do either dumb, evil, or old for Republicans in every cycle, and have the liberals in the media and at Saturday Night Live emphasize it. I thought they were going for double evil this time.
Romney earned the dumb label without any help from liberals.
Liberal commentators including Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman fell for a piece of satire by Roger Simon describing a Romney campaign in disarray and Ryan hating everyone.
Republicans are at a point of absurdity where satire about Republican positions/rhetoric/actions are indistinguishable from reality.
So the elite propaganda press used all of you to smear Romney as stupid:
http://dvorak.org/blog/2012/09/27/whaddya-know-romney-was-joking-about-the-airplane-windows/
Butt boys of the press, of the Obama campaign.
Useful idiots, the lot of you.
They manipulated YOU and most are too stupid to know it.
They will mindlessly repeat and believe the next smear against Romney or anyone trying to save this country….
Because they are useful idiots… gullible….
Even if the bastards took every dime from every businesswoman in American, none of you idiots would see a dime. You would only end up unemployed, and impoverished….while Obama and crew jets around playing golf.
Stupid is believing Utopianism, socialist nonsense even after its been demonstrated untrue by China and Russia.
Stupid is not realizing Steve Jobs created wealth, thousands of millionaires….hundreds of thousand of middle class folk….but if Obama took his money while he was still in his garage, and distributed it to his fellow crack heads…none of that wealth creation would have happened….
Thousands, perhaps millions of people would have been materially impacted negatively….
AND contrary to the smear, capitalist Jobs created all that wealth, without taking one dime from any of you….or the poor, or anyone….
People willingly bought his products because they wanted them.
Stupid Buttboys of socialist progressive elites who party with Hollywood, and won’t let you idiots past the front door.
