With thanks to Phyllis for sharing the video.
Obviously, these are actors, but equally obvious is this is a reflection of just how out of touch The presumptive Republican Nominee and his wife are when it comes to the realities of American voters.
Equal marriage, or same sex marriage has been in the news a lot lately.
The good news is President Obama is the first president to support equal marriage rights for same sex couples.
The bad news is conservatives in North Carolina succeeded in their effort to pass Ammendment 1 which changes North Carolina’s constitution, not to merely ban same sex marriage, but to limit “recognition” of loving relationships to those between one man and one women. Continue reading
Fox wasted no time in its effort to divert attention from Mitt Romney’s history as a homophobic bully in high school, Fox smeared the President by calling him a drug dealer. Classy right? Continue reading
Less than 24 hours after Politico broke the news that Michelle Bachmann was granted Swiss citizenship, in March, she changed her mind.
As reported by the Huffington Post, Bachman wants to make it perfectly clear that she was born in the U.S.A. and is proud of it. To prove it, she renounced her recently discovered Swiss Citizenship.
“I sent a letter to the Swiss Consulate requesting withdrawal of my dual Swiss citizenship, which was conferred upon me by operation of Swiss law when I married my husband in 1978,” she said. “I took this action because I want to make it perfectly clear: I was born in America and I am a proud American citizen. I am, and always have been, 100 percent committed to our United States Constitution and the United States of America. As the daughter of an Air Force veteran, stepdaughter of an Army veteran and sister of a Navy veteran, I am proud of my allegiance to the greatest nation the world has ever known.”
Maybe Michele found out that Switzerland is a country in that bastion of socialism: Europe. Or maybe the fact that she was eligible to hold public office in Switzerland scared her more than her performance as a congresswoman scares her constituents.
Or maybe it had more to do with the heat she was getting from her democratic opponent.
According to the L.A. Times:
Bachmann, who is running for reelection, took heat from her Democratic rival, Jim Graves.
“Earlier this year, Rep. Michele Bachmann was Iowan, earlier this week she was Swiss and today she’s an American,” the Graves campaign said in a statement. “Jim Graves has always known where he’s from, where he raised his family and where he built his businesses — St. Cloud, Minnesota.”

Holding someone accountable for the foolish things they did in high school for the rest of their lives is not fair. All of us have done at least one thing in our lives that we regret. The problem is Mitt Romney doesn’t regret when he bullied another student in high school, he continues to be a bully – albeit bullying many more people from the lofty perch of his campaign as the defacto Presidential Nominee for the Republican Party.

“The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand,”
