2012 U.S. Presidential Election

[Roy Karrde]

I got a good laugh out of Romney's most recent interview.

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics...,2317962.story

Read the part where he says he doesn't know why airplane windows don't open.

I sure know why they don't. If they did, the airplane would depressurize and kill everyone on it. But the guy who wants to be President apparently does not know that.

Yeah... lets see what is more realistic

Some one who has two degrees, ran multimillion dollar businesses, and flown everywhere does not know a plane is pressurized despite the fact as I said he has flown probably more times than you and I will fly in our life time...

Or he is talking about the possibility of a pilot dropping the plane down to a safe level when there are problems on board, and triggering the windows to allow for fresh air to come in.

C'mon...

Edit: Btw, Donald Rumsfeld used the term "Bumps in the road" to describe a crisis far more serious than this, but the GOP said nothing at the time.

Donald Rumsfeld is not running for President.

Another Edit: Republicans are hypocrites. This (and more) all happened on their watch.

Dec. 6, 2004 – Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: terrorists storm the U.S. consulate, killing 5 consulate employees

Sept. 16, 2008 – Yemen: a car bomb and a rocket strike the U.S. embassy in Yemen as staff arrived to work, killing 16 people.

And I bet those places had much better security than Benguazi had.

I know. It sounds dumber than the VP who misspelled "potato".

And yet our current President says this: ‘Three Proud Words: Made in the USA’

And our current Vice President says this: 'it happens to be a three-letter word: Jobs. J-O-B-S.'

So tell me something, Roy... Why is Romney campaigning in California right now - a state he couldn't win if his life depended on it - instead of concentrating on the swing states?

Fundraising =/= Campaigning

Okay, now Romney is saying that the comment about plane windows was a joke...

He made a comment that made him look like an idiot, and now he's saying it was a joke...

Well, no-one seems to be laughing...
