\nRomney Hits Obama for Vacation Locale Which Romney Himself Visits Later This Month<\/a><\/p>\nThe text says that Romney\u00a0 (a guy running for nomination for president on the R side) commented negatively that the current president (a-D) is taking a vacation in Martha’s Vinyard, MA (that he should be working in Washington to get us through economic difficulties) and lets us in on the little bombshell that Romney himself will be candidating in Martha’s Vinyard, MA later this month!\u00a0 Gasp!<\/p>\n
That might be a gotcha moment except for some basic facts:\u00a0 Romney used to be governor of MA and is raising funds for his campaign.\u00a0 Raising funds is his job these days.\u00a0 Therefore, Romney will not be on vacation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Also, Romney isn’t employed by the government, so he is spending his own money on the trip\u00a0 (or money of his campaign funds, I expect).<\/p>\n
I’m not a big Romney fan.\u00a0 And I have some differences with the President but generally think he has done a good job avoiding improprieties during his national political career.<\/p>\n
The people I really have some trouble with are the folks at MSNBC who are trying really hard to make Romney look bad in such an transparent way.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 By bending over to make Romney look hypocritical they just show their own rear ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
