Former Birther Matt Romney Now Thinks Obama is ‘Great’
Mitt Romney’s son Matt, a former birther, reforms his message in Hawaii when asked if President Obama is a Christian.
Personally, I find reform of this sort charming and a sign of hope much missing from the Republican Party, but this sort of thing is just not said amongst those on the “right’, especially that fringey faction (also known as the base) that caters to birthers like Matt Romney.
Asked whether he thinks Obama is a Christian, former birther Mitt Romney’s son Matt said, “I’m not here to talk about President Obama. I think he is great. I’m here to talk about my dad and what he would bring to the country.”
Before you get the all-American fuzzies, this is the same Matt Romney who late last year questioned Obama’s birth place and announced that his father Mitt would release his tax returns when Obama released his birth certificate. Matt joined in with the conspiracy theorists just last December when he responded that his father would release his tax returns, “But I heard someone suggest the other day that as soon as President Obama releases his grades and birth certificate and sort of a long list of things, that maybe he’d do that.”
Cough. We’re waiting, because Matt promised plural “returns” and the President released both long and short forms of his birth control.
The Romneys can’t seem to stop the gaffes: from “my wife has a coupla Cadillacs” to “I’m going to get rid of Planned Parenthood” to now, the ultimate Republican sin: “Obama is great.”
A Republican must not, may not, must never, ever say anything remotely positive about President Barack Obama. One must insinuate that he is not a Christian, that he is a Muslim, that is a socialist, that he is a Kenyan, that he is anti-Colonial, that he wants to take us back to pre-Civil War times…. But never, ever is a Republican to say anything that implies the President is human and certainly not to suggest he is a decent guy. God forbid you suggest he is a Christian and was born here; that is GOP treason.
Ooopsie, Matt Romney.

to me this shows that Matt is as much a flip flopper as his dad – it’s the old “when in Rome…” Matt wasn’t taking any chances when speaking about Hawaii’s native son

Wonder how Romney’s dad ran for president, he was born in Mexico.

Looks like the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…this kid is as gaffe-prone (i.e., disconnected) as his father.
(Should “birth control” above be “birth certificate”? I know womens’ reproductive rights have been a hot topic recently!)

I saw the same thing and laughed. We really have birth control on our minds don’t we. I, too, think “birth certificate” was intended.,

The family tree might be too vertical?

Who cares where Obama was born? His Dad isn’t American. Period.

Yes, Janice, everyone knows that Obama’s dad wasn’t American. But his Mom was, so that, along with the undeniable fact that he WAS born in America, (Official Short and Long Form Birth Certificates from the State of Hawaii, 2 separate Newspaper Announcements of his Birth, Interviews with his Doctor and Nurses at the Hospital) Obama is American.
I sure hope Jesus doesn’t come back to any “Birthers”. Jesus was born of a Middle-Eastern, Jewish, teenage girl, in Roman Occupied Palestine! I can hear them ‘holier-than-thou’ “Christians” talking about Jesus, … “He ain’t from around here! He’s dark-skinned, Arab looking! I bet he’s one of them Muslims, like Obama! I bet he is a Socialist, like Obama too! … ‘feed the hungry’, ‘heal the sick’, ‘take care of the poor’, … them all are lazy a$$ people wanting a handout, with MY TAX MONEY, … damn Liberals!”
And what about Jesus’ father!? … a Cosmic Deity! That’s worse than a Kenyan! And could Jesus produce ever produce a Birth Certificate? They would deport him back to Palestine quicker than you can say 10 ‘Hail Mary’s'! And ‘Heaven Help the Son of God’ if he returns to Texas, … they would try to execute him, again!
