Ann Romney accuses Obama of showing ‘poor sportsmanship’
Mitt Romney’s wife, Ann, equated President Obama’s campaign to a petulant child during an interview Tuesday after being asked about charges from the president’s campaign that her husband had “lied” during last week’s debate.
“I mean, lied about what? This is something he’s been saying all along. This is what he believes. This is his policy, these are his statements,” Ann Romney said in an interview set to air Wednesday on Fox News. ”I mean, lie — it’s sort of like someone that’s, you know, in the sandbox that like lost the game and they’re just going to kick sand in someone’s face and say, ‘you liar.’ I mean, it’s like they lost, and so now they just are going to say, OK, the game, we didn’t like the game. So to me, it’s poor sportsmanship.”
In an interview Sunday with CBS News, Obama adviser David Axelrod said Romney’s debate positions were “uprooted” from what he had said on the campaign trail.
“I think [the president] was a little taken aback at the brazenness with which Gov. Romney walked away from so many of the positions on which he’s run, walked away from his record,” Axelrod said.
Ann Romney said she “knew right away” that her husband was winning the first presidential debate.
“I knew after the first question,” she said. “I turned to my son after 50 minutes, and I gave him a nudge, and I said it’s 100 to zero right now. ”

The future First Lady called the sitting President a child.
I love it!

Axelrod is the skunk. Ann is a saint (not in the Mormon sense…yet).

“100 to zero” there’s the new campaign slogan.

I hope that Ann Romney sets the tone for the remainder of the campaign – that of adult Romney backers calling out little Bari for the petulaant child that he is.
And little Bari’s attempt to use scorn and ridicule over such a trivial matter as Big Bird, is a perfect example of how a child reacts to getting his ass whipped on the playground.
He’s a child-king, not the leader of the free world.

I’m looking forward to Ann replacing Michelle the Skank as much as anything in January.

HE WILL LOSE THE ELECTION AND WHEN HE DOES . . .
Loyal lemmings everywhere will be the biggest soreheads of all. Hollywood’s in for it, as are many of his overseas campaign donors. A shameful laughingstock of the entire world he’ll be.
Barack Hussein Obama, Ha Ha Ha!
ROMNEY | RYAN | 2012!

Axelrod leaves a slime-trail everywhere he moves. Taken aback? You mean knocked on his heels. Asshat.

Tracy got me thinking…
If (When) Obama is out of office, he’ll still be eligible to run in 2016. Will he try outCarter Carter by sticking his nose into world affairs, writing another book no one will buy or siding with our enemies just for the money? Or will we be in for the comedy treat of the 21st century as he makes another go of it in four years?
Stay tuned.

Gosh, I love plain-spoken truths. “Poor Sport” means exactly what it means. It’s such an old fashioned criticism, but apt nonetheless.

Love to hear our First Lady speak. She knows about children and spotted 0bama for the little brat that he is.

I agree; Obama is a whiny poor sport and a whiny sore loser. He throws a baseball like a girl does.

Being Satan’s representative on Earth and destroying a world is not a sport.
Obama must be seen for the evil that he is.
Hitler declared that if Germany didn’t win, Germany didn’t deserve to win. He saw the destruction of Europe and committed suicide rather than say “Enough!”
Can you see BO just walking away from the podium?

Obama is a spoiled rotten whiny brat who needs to be sent to his room (at his own house, not ours) for a long, long time.
