Former Romney Classmate Describes ‘Bullying Supreme’ – A ‘Pack of Dogs’ Who Targeted ‘Different’ Boy

Romney is a BULLY, GREEDY, TAX-CHEAT, flip flopping selfish man who does not care about the very poor but thinks that coporations are people. What a loser he is so this revelation does not surprise me at all, a silver spoon fed spoiled kid who makes fun and bullies poor people and gay people.

Ok, I’m pretty liberal, well, centrist anyway, given the GOP these days, I guess that makes me a liberal. but I have to say, this is crap. Who the heck went back to Romney’s high school days and dragged someone out who saw him cut someone’s hair??? really??? This is during an age of Animal House and so many other prankster movies. This is beyond stupid. In fact, when you pick on someone by doing something like this to them, I swear, it only makes people support him out of feeling bad for him. Stupid stupid stupid story. Trash it. this is not news.

Obama is a very bad joke. And so are his desperate cheerleaders.

Romney/Palin 2012.

STUPID STORY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BO

A grown man, especially a presidential candidate should be responsible for his own actions. saying he “doesnt remember this” and he never had a malicious bone in his body after this assault is denying his responsibility. Man up coward.

Wow. ABC is getting desperate even sooner than I imagined. They “cover” this, but not why Holder is still stonewalling Congress on Fast & Furious, and about a dozen other stories regarding Obama’s corruption and/or utter failure.

If Romney was so bad to this guy WHY is he waiting until just now to say anything? Romney’s been in politics for years. I’m sure lot’s of his political adversaries could have used this news. It’s just to convenient for Obama’s team to come up with this revelation from this guy at this particular time. If you don’t think it’s fishy then you are naive.

If what was said was true about what Romney did, I’m very upset. I’m even more upset that people think even if it is true, that it isn’t a big idea. Can you really call something like that a joke? No. That is most definitely BULLYING and it’s absolutely HORRIBLE and people who bully others do not deserve to be in office.

Right. If anyone was a “bully” in earlier years, it was Obama. He’s surely a bully now. A cowardly bully to be sure, but a bully nonetheless.

The left-wing MSM is getting desperate. They’ll do anything to insure that their black messiah gets re-elected. I wonder if ABC or WaPo took the time to dig up any of obbama’s acquaintances from his drug stupor days. Now THAT would be a shocking expose’

Good luck abc. It won’t work. But you surely are destroying the last tiny shred of credibility you have left.

Wise up. Total bs. And yes, even ABC knows it too. Just another hit piece. Too bad Obama is collapsing so quickly, lol.

Obama’s past remains uninvestigated and unscrutinized by our “crackerjack” mainstream media.

Meanwhile, we get regaled with hearsay about “scandalous” tales of Romney’s playground hijinks.

Your story about Mr. Romney is outrageous. Your status as a news agency is severely tarnished by this excuse for reporting.

I cannot believe that with the world economy in such distress that the lead news on a national channel is what someone did as a student in HS. I certainly would not want all the antics many of us pulled in HS or college following us throughout the many years since, Your programs certainly shows your liberal bias. Shameful.

When the GOP is picking on the president for real downright stupid stuff, it clearly demonstrates the republicans have a lot more skeletons hidden in their closet, this is only the tip of the iceberg and we’ll get a new revelation every so often, because Americans tend to have short term memories, they continuously want to perpetuate a character flaw that doesn’t exist in our Potus but when the other side gets a dose of their own medicine, they whine, and complain again about the president about the dumbest of dumbest things as if they were character flaws a 6 year old kid is so much at a level of a young adult, omg no wonder why we have such a high debt.

I am at the point where I really believe very little the media has to say … much of it is wrong, unproven and too conveniently timed. there is not a hint of proof in the Washington Post story, and I think most people know that. The “victim” can’t corroborate the story as he a few years ago, without ever having brought the story to the media’s attention himself. Obviously, this story was timed to coincide with Biden and Obama coming out in favor of gay marriage – no doubt, someone in the democrat camp cooked this story to come out at the same time so that while Obama is being painted as the pro-gay marriage president, Romney is being portrayed as the gay bully. I don’t think the story will matter too much to most savvy media readers, but will be chalked up as yet another reason why the Washington Post and other newspapers like it are going broke and people don’t trust the media anymore.

Really? You have to be kidding? This merits the lead story on the (so-called) news?
What was the current occupant of the White House doing when he was in High School?

This is not news. This is not a “fast-moving” story. To dig up something a 17 year-old high school student did is feeble at best. And, what convenient timing. For those who “dug it up”, please find somewhere to volunteer and do something useful with your time.

Wow Obama must be desparate! You are doing it wrong Barry!

With Obumbles skills maybe the best thing Romney could do is just go on vacation and let Obumbles win the election for him!

I don’t know why we’re into this other than it’s some kind of distraction. I got into a fight in High School over my leather jacket (I lost). I guess that would make me a thug, hood, or materialistic. It’s getting just a bit ridiculous.

Wow, this level of desperation from the left, to drag out and embellish such a NON story gives me renewed hope that Romney might actually win. The dems don’t get this desperate unless they feel they are in big trouble. Pathetic.

“Pack of Dogs”? Holy crap!

Hey, you lib bots have fun with this all day and night, phony sanctimony and outrage and such, but it’s not fooling anyone anymore, except yourselves. LOL.

This is the kind of behavior many can discribe as sociopaothic like the kid that sets cats on fire only a childhood prank…It sums up MIT’s life & dominer if you don’t see it my way,I will chastize you…Many Iman’s ,Pope’s, Deacon’s and want to be leaders display…
not an attitude I want to have displayed in a public office…You see it now in his I don’t want you to know how much I am worth not gonna do my taxes….I am rich I do not have too…That is for common man not an eletist like me…
Not the Guy to have hold a PUBLIC OFFICE…Him And Allen are from the same rotten cloth old and overwork….with many moth holes in the fabric… That I hope money can not cover…

Republicans crack me up. “Obama’s sinking, Obama’s desperate etcetera etcetera. Look at the map and the paths for victory in the election. Romney could win the popular vote, OH and FL and still lose the election. Look at the map wingnuts, Mitt can not win. All Obama needs are the Kerry states, a VA and CO, or many other combinations. To win Mittens needs to win them all. Why do you think Christie, or Jeb Bush did not run.

We all did silly, stupid things in high school so the fact that he did this bothers me a whole lot less than the fact that he’s claiming he does not recall it. How many times have we heard that cover up for a strategic lie before? I think that speaks far more to his character (or lack thereof) than the incident itself.

Finally — one thing Mitt hasn’t flip-flopped on!

Are you kidding me?? You are broadcasting something from Mitt Romeny’s high school years. We all did stupid things in high school! This classmate sounds like he is just trying to get in the media and you people are letting him. What about Obama’s classmates? why haven’t we heard about them? I can’t believe you are broadcasting this. Shame on you!!! Seems like this is all they have on Romney!

What is more relevant that someone may have acted as everyone has acted at one time or another. Or someone who by his own admission used drugs and wasted too much time. People take drugs are weak minded and insecure. Taking drugs says more about your character than the natural peck ordering that goes on in every group on every level.

Is a highschooler being a bully, or a President calling a policemen stupid, voters bigoted, says people “cling to their bible and guns” when he had to “cling” to cocaine and pot.

Obama is perhaps the slimiest president we have ever had. Does this change that fact? No, it does not.

Thanks ABC. Your partnership with mediamatters is working out well.
POSTED BY: LIB BOTS
Seems so. I am even surprised that abc wants to compromise themselves to this extent.

If this is news, then we should be hearing more about Obama’s illegal drug use. After all the man admittedly committed criminal acts.

Wow, a 46 year old story about a high school student! Seriously, does ABS have any true news gathering! However, it does take time away from talking about the failure this administration has been.

How pathetic it is for ABC to dredge up a story that’s 45 years old in light of the fact they did NO vetting of His Royal Highness Obama. I’ll bet Romney was never pals with a domestic terrorist. Liberal bias is alive and well at ABC.

This story is kinda composite.

No media bias here!

Thanks ABC for filling the Obama Swimming Pool of Lies. Nice hit piece against Romney. Care to report on Obama’s FAILED presidency please?

Unbelievable! Is this what the Obama campaign has stooped to – going all the way back to Romney’s high school days to highlight a stupid prank or two? Who of us didn’t do stupid things when we were teenagers? Give me a break – what a stupid stupid attempt to demean Romney. Any any of you who think this story warrants national attention need to get a life. You were probably the ones who got picked on as a kid.

Everyone has skeletons. Even Obama.

If asked to do so, i would eat my dog to get Obama re-elected.

Does anyone think Obama was really honest in his memoriers at this point? You’d have to be stupid or very naive.

“If Romney was so bad to this guy WHY is he waiting until just now to say anything? Romney’s been in politics for years. I’m sure lot’s of his political adversaries could have used this news. It’s just to convenient for Obama’s team to come up with this revelation from this guy at this particular time. If you don’t think it’s fishy then you are naive.”

Dam good post and spot on.

I was bullied in high school by 3 guys daily. When I got back from Nam, I ran across 1 guy in a bar. He started with me again and I proceeded to beat the crap out of him, he was taken to the hospital. I ran across another tormentor a couple years later. I waited outside and knock him out with a baseball bat. He never knew what happened. I’m still waiting the get the 3rd guy.

NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_NBC_

ABC treats Obama just like NBC treats Trayvon Martin. If a half truth will do then do it. And they wonder why their viewership is in the tank. Nothing But Crapola

haha…this is laughable. Going back 45 years in an attempt to tear him down? Really? What a feeble attempt and yes, entertaining because it’s such a transparent joke. I guess this is what Obozo was talking about when he said he was going to have a “transparent” administration.

Wow! David Axelrod is REALLY getting desperate. And it’s only April.

Would this have been considered assault back in 1965 considering Romney and his friends were all under age ?? Would the police or sheriff have come , and arrested all of them and taken them to jail for this in 1965 ?

How ridiculous the press (newspaper, TV, etc.) have become. Here are some things to worry about:
1. economy, including the fact social security is broke.
2. Does Iran have a nuclear bomb? Will they use it on Israel?
3. That ribbon of water that stretches from Texas to California. Headless bodies everywhere on the border. Terrorists walking across said border. Our lack of will power to secure our border.
4. China taking over the world
Not, ugly things that might have been done by a presidential nominee 45 years ago while in High School. Let’s don’t go down that road — unless you want to revisit things actually done by the current President while in High School, like smoking week and snorting blow.
Give me a break!

Search FaceBook and Phillip Maxwell lists “Barak Obama” as one of his “Likes”. Coincidence? I think not. I’m betting he’ll get a “Shout Out” from BHO for his Momma on Mother’s Day!

“Romney really is a spineless punk…..”
POSTED BY: BLACKBOX
It’s weird how many times some nobody will try to paste onto Romney a description that fits Obama almost perfectly. Good luck with that.

“Romney really is a spineless punk…..”

Now you’ll get your hair cut! But just be sure to not say anything for about 45 years.

Who cares what happened 50 years ago as a teenager..All of us did stupid things. If this is an issue with ABC then lets find out why Obama spent his last two years of high school in a “fog” smoking weed . Lets find out how he stopped his drinking binges. Or how about where he bought his weed and cocaine. Here we all talking about this nonsense when someone leaked out information from the Obama administration about the double agent that not only jeopardizes our national security but put our allies lives in danger. But no here we are talking about high school pranks.

Romney is going to win in November. My prediction is 7%.

This is an unbelievable story I could not even believe the answers like I don’t recall, if I hurt someone I would certainly apologize that Senator Romney made. Then his school chum so maybe a child was traumatized what’s the big deal “no harm no foul”. I am trying hard to teach my grandchildren not to be bullies, to take ownership of their action. How do I do that when our candidate for the highest elected position states well if I hurt someone I would apologize if I remembered. I would expect him to do so no matter what. This is the problem no one in a leadership role takes responsibility for their individual actions. Some people say well that was in the sixties who cares but what about today’s actions. His friend to stood up for him told me volumes of how they see bulling.

Is this anything like when Obama was busy eating the neighborhood dogs!
Back to the issues, ask the 650,000 Californians that just ‘Timed Out’ and lost their unemployment benefits, whats more important to them, gay marriage or jobs! Obama has failed the jobless! But the jobless still vote, so good-bye Obama!

I also understand that when Romney was 5 he took another kid’s cupcake. This clearly makes him unqualified to be President.

Team Obama needs to watch that all of these happenings/events/announcements/surprise trips don’t start to look too overly choreographed…makes your average citizen feel like he’s watching a “reality” show.

Go have got to be kidding me! The major story on World News is some guy with a story about something that happened 30 years ago. We know you ABC staff are pro Obama, but this is actually funny. Then you try to add credibility by mentioning the guy was asked if he was a Democrat. Notice he did NOT answer the question. Your World New is pitiful…..

Why exactly is this story at the top of your homepage, ABC? We all know there is no way you could ever justify such a weak thing in such a position.

let me get this straight.

the Right can go back all the way to the day Obama was born for a scandal but Obama’s campaign can’t?

please GOP, let us know the rules. so that we don’t offend.

Funny how this “bully” story makes headlines, but the numerous times Romey helped at local churches in early morning hours does not. That is a better reflection of character if you ask me or anyone else without an oblivious sense of their true world. Media bias at it’s best here. Romney’s so-called bullying is further in the past than Obama’s self-admitted cocaine use.

Let’s suppose that all this stuff about Romney is true.

Obama went to a racist church for 20 years. He smoked pot and snorted cocaine. He associated with self-proclaimed communists and unrepentant domestic terrorists who bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol, and NYC Police Headquarters.

Oh, and there’s the little detail that Obama has wrecked the U.S. economy.

Just sayin’.

@MICHAEL, like wow. Please think, even if only a little bit. The other involved an actual constitutional issue. Get it?

@Michael, can I say you represent liberal “logic”?…. OK then, I will. LMAO!

How convenient that the liberals found an (alleged) victim who is now dead so he can’t tell his side of the story. The person who fed this story to the media claims to be Romney’s “friend”. Yeah, right. Nice try…

I personally like that abc has decided to swirl on down the toilet with Obama. Good riddance to both.

Seriously, who trusts ABC to be fair or objective at all? I’m glad even the sloer folks are catching on to how far into the tank for Obama they really are.

ABC should be ashamed for putting out this garbage. Sadly however, I’m sure they are very proud of it. A lot of hi-fives going on in the newsroom…..

Oh, and you can be sure that more than two-thirds of these posts that don’t side with either ABC or Obama will soon disappear. Promise. No, not biased at all. Who is fooled?

Smoke and Mirrors folks! Ignore that man behind the curtain ( economy, unemployment, entitlements going broke.) No, just focus on issues that really matter— gun control, abortion, gay marriage, contraception—–oh, and of course high school pranks from 1965!

Haha, classic, THIS is all the liberals can find on Romney, this! Absolutely amazing, so the liberals can’t talk about their economic record because its an absolute and utter disaster so um uhhh oh but ROMNEY he was like a bully! Ok first off I don’t care, and secondly this truly speaks to the absolute level of pathetic despair the democrats have reached, they have nothing that is good, they have done absolutely nothing right over the past 3 years so lets attack Romney on how he acted in high school.

Pathetic story. Once again the press showing it’s bias. Is there any wonder why so many people don’t trust the main stream media……

“Enjoy all, or most, of the posts right now, because later — quite soon in fact — the mod will delete more than half of these posts, (in this case, maybe even two-thirds). Which half? The truthful half. They decimate every thread in the same lib-biased fashion.”
Double bingo. It’s not only the biased stories, but they aren’t even secure enough to let all legit posts stand.

So lets get this straight….
this guy CLAIMS to be a Romney friend…you know the kind that waits until you win the primaries and THEN blasts you with a story over 40 years old….hes no friend obviously but a liberal shill.

second lets say its true….if was 40 freakin years ago when he was in High School….when Obama was in High School he was an admitted thug who smoked a lot of dope…..do we care about one but not the other? Being in High School you kind of get a pass for being stupid….your brain and decision making are not fully “cooked” and you do stupid stuff. I bet YOU would be embarrassed about some of the things YOU did…..go ahead and lie and say otherwise….come on.

Third, if you can’t understand that the 60′s in an all boys prep school had different(and in many areas wrong) ways of doing things then you are a moron. If you can believe that Obama EVOLVED to his new
positions, why can’t Romney have changed from his stupid HS years?

So obviously duplicitous is the news reporting. ABC once again you bring shame upon yourselves for being so in the tank for Obama.

This is the kind of crap we can expect from ABC News? 45 years ago back in high school? Who’s the brain dead thing at ABC that zeroed in of this. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are out of work, there is no bright horizon, Obama has failed with the economy, gas and food are going through the roof, people are hurting, and Obama/Biden/Reid have no plan except to squelch more than 20 jobs bills put forth by the GOP. … and this is the crap that ABC pushes? Weakest “news” corporation on the planet — bar none.

Willard Romney — meet your “Swift Boat.” Sometimes things people did a long time ago do matter. A lot. Anyone who would assault another human being this way is not fit to be President. Period. It speaks volumes about Willard’s lack of character and his grotesque sense of self-entitlement. He has clearly never been held accountable for any of his actions, whether it’s as a bullying punk at his “prep school” or firing American workers and taking the loot to his offshore tax havens. Even his ridiculous non-apology is full of arrogance — hey, sorry if I offended anyone that I assaulted, I was just a prankster you know. Ha Ha. You would think he’s at least be sensitive to how big an issue bullying is today, but he clearly has no clue. If this wasn’t at an elite prep school this clown would have been in jail. Again, Willard Romney, say hello to your Swift Boat.

Thats a good news for Rommey to rise up because his voter need to test him!! Everyone will get a big test outta of you no matter what you do in past. I wouldn’t say pointing and blaming President Obama’s fault for being desperate. What if it your own ppls (Republican voter) testng you. like everybody testing Obama’s birther. Ya’ll need to grow up some. I would like to get to know Rommey before I vote him. Its not enough. Ron Paul/2012

We cannot afford this nonsense. Get used to saying “President Romney,” and say farewell to the cr*ppy excuse for leadership we’ve suffered under for 3.5 years.

And STOP WHINING about BULLYING, for God’s sake!

Ask other Republican presidential candidates of 2008 and 2012 if Romney is a bully. He is ruthless now and he was probably ruthless then. We Republicans ought to nominate Walker or Santorum. We will regret nominating Romney. He is Tom Buchanan in Mormon underwear.

Pretty soon they’ll claim he was waterboarding the kid with ENSURE!

Once again the main stream media has proven to be bias and lack objectivity! In short, they carry Obama’s water and will report on any story to protect their ‘rock star’ President! ABC is doing all the can to not report on Obama’s failed presidency! This story about Romney’s high school pranks was the ABC lead news story today, why not talk about all of Obama’s failed policies that have not created even one new net job in the last 3 1/2 years! There are still more jobless Americans today than the day Obama took office! Now that should have been the lead news story of the day on ABC!

I have it on good authority that he once threw a spitball. He definitely shouldn’t become president.

If he’d used hard drugs, like Hussein Obama, t hat would be O.K., but spit balls?

No way.

Hey, everyone! Can’t you tell you are being played by the Obama re-election team and their cronies in the media?? They probably dug-up this hit piece over a year ago and just waited to release it at the right moment – that being in coordination with Obama’s “revelation” that he supports gay marriage (No, really? So “evolved”…) Romney must be almost squeaky clean, if they have to reach back to his teen years for any dirt. Now, how about we hear something about Obama’s youth and college years? Just what were his grades and activities? Obama already admits to being a slacker who did drugs and indulged in under-age drinking. Will we ever know Obama’s grades or what his thesis was about?

The supposed victim is dead and the supposed incident was over 50 years ago. Why am I not believing this, is it because the media still hasn’t vetted Obama. We know nothing about Obam, why not even his grades.

Maxwell states he should have intervened to stop the attack? But, but wait a minute. He claims he was the one pinning Lauber to the ground by his arm and leg. Another witness in the WaPo article states on a TV interview he never witnessed the attack? 4 of the “witnesses” are Democrats and one an organizer for Obama?

I can’t stand Romney, never have liked him but something is fishy with this coming out the day after Obama comes out supporting gay marriage.

Let me get this straight. We have an alleged story about high school boys, one it turns out wasn’t even there from 50 years ago but nobody can seem to dig up Obama educational transcripts.

Hey ABC ever wonder why you’re slipping into irrelevancy?

I have to laugh at the desperation of the Main Stream Media! They see Obama is in trouble and they start beating the bushs…
“What have ya got?”…. “I’ve got a guy that says he saw Romney bully some other guy in High Shcool”… “That’s ALL you could find?!!”…..”Ok… lets go with it… it’s all we got and Barack NEEDS us!!”

What really scares me though, is the comments from people that think this is a REAL story…..

Forty five years ago and this guy remembers like it was yesterday. Yet no one can remember anything or even seeing or hearing Obama speeches from his college days. Even George Stephenapolis doesn’t remember him. They attended Columbia during the same time period.

I guess ABC missed the story of Obama’s drug use and bullying girls in his youthful days!
Never mind his eating the neighborhood dogs, all of which he admits to doing!
ABC has become Team Obama Reelection Headquarters!

Apparently we shouldnt elect anybody that has ever played on a sports team, been a member of a frat, or pranked anybody in high school. How low can the media stoop to sling mud at Romney.

This is just plain silly.. What are we going to do next??? look up things candidates did in grammer school..Kindergarten.??? The media is out of control!!!!… Let’s stick to the present….FIX THE ECOMONY!!!

Thanks abc for this knee-slapper! More great “investigative journalism” from the msm!
We are seeing desperation – and it is HILARIOUS !!!

How come Romney in high school in the 1960′s is somehow ‘news’. What a joke, ABCNews is showing how well they can bottom fish. Hey ABC, did you forget that Obama attended a racist church for 20 yrs and snorted cocaine through college? You don’t do your job that well, do you?

What did Obama’s autobiography say about him. Didn’t it say something about pushing a young girl in middle school and drug use or am I wrong?

Sorry, ABC and WaPo. I’m not going to bite on this flimsy attempt to divert attention away from Obama’s record.

It IS the economy, and we’re not stupid.

Mitt was just cutting his teeth for his Bain Capital future

Is this the best you can do? High School pranks? Good Grief – desperate?

ABC News —why don’t you write a story about Obama’s college days ? Where are Obama’s college transcripts?? College thesis?? Law exam score?? Even some articles he wrote for the law review?? Why aren’t these being released by the transparent POTUS?? What is he hiding?? How about Michelle Obama and her college activites, grades, papers etc??

Get real… every one of you (me included)… look at your past… think… are there things you did that you wish you could take back? Are there things you did that someone could embellish and spin on you? Let him without sin cast the first stone…

We need to be concerned with what is happening today. What is the character of the two men seeking/trying to retain the highest most powerful position in the world.

Character maters… what one does when no one is looking.

Check Romney’s charity activity vs Obama. When Obama was working as a community organizer Romney was doing charity work that he won’t talk about… why? Because he has class and does good things for people not for how it will benefit him but what it does for the person he helps.

Keep tuned as people, .. not Romney… will reveal how good a man behind the scenes he really is.

Final question… why doesn’t the press do its job vetting Obama?

Quit showing your bias and DO YOUR JOB!!!!

While Mitt was drinking Chocolate Milk, Obama was using Acid. I actually enjoyed this article, but it was dumb it was funny reading the blogs.

I now officially know more about a man who is running for president than the man who has been the president for 2 years. Where’s the in depth expose of the presidents childhood. Not everyone had an interest in reading his books. The media must have forgotten to report on it because they all read his books and just assumed everyone else had too.

Republicans have the emotional IQ of middle school kids and do nothing but whine anymore. You guys are such patriots. When there is the occasional article that isn’t flattering you all come out crying about how unfair it all is. Pathetic.

Ha ha! I am loving watching the Republicans run around with their hair on fire!

hahaha, sad, sorry, pathetic, desperate pro-obama tabloid journalism. Bright side, Romney didn’t deal drugs or make up stories about white girlfriends so he could put them down. Thanks, this type of reporting only helps turn independents away from Obama.

At least Romney went to school in the USA with Americans and didn’t have to make racist comments and bully fictitious white girlfriends

Romney’s character flaws run deeper than being a bully as a young person. When he was older and in college, he advocated for Vietnam war, knowing he wouldn’t have to attend due to his status as a missionary. Convenient and hypocritical.

ROMENY: Tried to downplay his mistakes, gave a bogus non-apology, tried to change the subject

OBAMA: Readily admits his mistakes in a book he wrote

I don’t care which guy is in which party, Obama wins this one. Romney is acting shady, plain and simple. I don’t like everything about Obama but at least I don’t think he’s hiding something – whenever someone says he is it turns out they’re some crazy person who has a conspiracy theory about everyone and everything!

The media has gone completely insane. Really high school, really. And did the media ever question what Obama did in College but this stupid story is all over the news today. They will do everything to protect Obama, this is scarey. The media becomes more and more irrelevant. This whole story and Bidens ooops stattement then Obamas big announcement just in time for his big Hollywood Fundraiser seems so neatly planned and this story planted all over the news and papers. Come on we the American people are not that stupid. See you at the polls in November.

The “mainstream” media is sad and pathetic, but the best thing about this story and others like it, is that the media is making it so obvious that they are in the tank for Obama. The majority of Americans can see the double standard — why hasn’t there been any stories about Obama’s past? Why isn’t Obama subject to the same scrunity as Romney, etc.? If Obama and his policies were not destroying our nation, it would be quite humerous watching so many members of the media bending over and taking it up the behind from Obama and members of his cabal.

So Mr. Maxwell said “he never saw that side of Mitt Romney”.
Well, Mr. Maxwell participated in the incident. So what does that say about Mr. Maxwell and his own character?

I think it’s interesting that the “victim’s” sister said that her brother would be furious that this 47 year old story is being told now. I wonder what he would think about the media dredging up this ancient history for political purposes? Was the White House or the Obama campaign involved in this story at all?

‘Maxwell said he held the boy’s arm and leg’
‘Maxwell responded, “Oh my god, are you kidding? … I castigated myself regularly for not having intervened.”‘

The readers are supposed to believe both that Maxwell was involved and held the kid down, and that Maxwell regrets he didn’t intervene? Huh? Is Maxwell schizophrenic, or are there two of him?

This is yet another claim in this whole story that just does not pass the sniff test; it’s as fake as the forged TANG documents that Dan Rather tried to pass off.

Pathetic media. What about Obama’s cocaine and herion use and pushing little girls around. The media is pathetic.

All the liberals who seem to care about Romney’s “character” as an immature high school kid, didn’t care one bit about Slick Willie’s character when he was sexually harrassing and assaulting countless women, cheating on his wife, and lying about it. Romney is chastised for not remembering 40 years ago, Slick Willie couldn’t recall his egregious attacks on women a month before. Lib Media can’t seem to dig into Obama’s past communist and terrorist associates, his hidden school work and grades, his drug use, etc, but they can dig this up. No agenda here eh Mr. Muir? Romney has been devoted and faithful to his wife for 40 years, through sickness and health; that’s more to show about his true character.

I care much less about what Mitt Romney may have done when he was 16 then what Barack Obama is doing right now.

Going further back, I have it on good authority that Romney dipped a 2nd grade classmate’s pigtails in an inkwell and kept his eyes open during nap time in Kindergarten.

Anyone who bullies another person is not good inside. If you do not feel compassion for others then you are not worthy of anything. Especially the job he wants, he does not deserve it.

….and he’s just bringing this up now??? He didn’t think it was relevant earlier? Who’s paying him for this now?????

Romney explain how you can’t be Gay if you are a Mormon member of the LDS Church and what your Mormon holy book says about why African Americans are black or how the Mormon belief in the only true religion and all others are wrong. GOP minions follow without question just like so many religions. Romney typical GOP will not take accountability (said he can’t remember this single incident) but apologized for “pranks” – oh and now look…. GOP minions making excuses and trying to point out someone else even though that person admitted (takes accountability for actions and behavior as a youth) and told the truth. Seriously, the GOP Cult ( politicians and followers included) needs to be shut down as a political party for our Country and the People to ever grow and succeed again.

American Bullcrap Corporation

(I’m no Romney fan, but bullcrap is bullcrap.)

YAWN! Nobody cares about this! Romney will win in a landslide ala Ronald Reagan when he crushed Walter Mondale.

Where are your college transcripts, Barry?

Is this the best that Obama’s left wing hate mongers and political hacks could do!
To be fair, why not talk about Obama’s youthful days, when he skipped school to get drunk, take drugs and beat up girls! He admits to doing all those things in his own book!

John’s sister said it was just sixteen year old kids and it was 40 years ago! Wow you really cared about your brother didn’t you! Maybe you should be made to see the movie Bully. What an insensitive uncaring sister! “I was away and doing my own thing”. “He didn’t mention it to me”. Would you have cared if he did? Can you even step outside your selfish attitude to even imagine how humiliated he felt? He wouldn’t have said anything about it! Of course not ,it was a degrading mortifying experience, you moron! Why bring it up now? Because childhood bullies grow up to be adults who still enjoy the act of bullying Just ask ” I enjoy firing people who work for me ” Romney.

40 years ago Romney was just being a teenager and Obama was eating dogs. This is just another distraction by Obama to deflect the real problem in this country. The failure of leadership. Starting with Obama, reid and pelosi.

This is very concerning. If we can’t trust Romney with scissors how can we trust him with the bomb? Imagine the international incident when Romney and the Secretary of State wrestle Angela Merkel to the ground and snip a lock of her hair. A whoopee cushion under Putin’s chair could set off another Cold War. These fat cat who make hand buzzers and fart spray have had it too easy for too long. The Republicans have declared yet another war, but were just waiting for the liberal to determine what that war is. In the meantime, hide your children or Romney may show up at a campaign event locked and loaded… with cans of silly string in each hand. Pray that the nation can recover from this if he is ever elected and give thanks to ABC news for having the courage to bring this story to the national forefront. This is Pulitzer material just as Obama is Nobel material. Thank you ABC news. Thank you.

This story is just another fabrication. Obama announces support for gay marriage yesterday and allies float the accusation of Romney as teenage anti-gay bully today so as to give Obama the “moral” high ground on the issue. But this story is already unravelling as the partisan fiction that it is. The “boy” victim is conveniently dead (convenient for the accusers, at least).

The story is not consistent with who Romney was in high school: the chatty non-athlete who was nonetheless accepted in all the various groups and cliches What would the teenage Romney have to gain from such hazing? Wouldn’t he have more to lose by potential backlash? The Breitbart.tv reports show the story to be less than reliable.

I actually hope this report is true, and that he uses the same approach with Congress when he becomes President. I am also very sure that way back when this bullying happened ( Yes I am assuming its even true) that afterwards he was like ” Durn ! I should not have done that ! I just know it will come back to bite me when I run for President. Maxy you can never say a word” ” Oh I won’t mitsy, I won’t “

Anyone want to tell me why we are hearing this now instead of a year ago when his campaign started? If you have negative imformation about a candidate why wait till the eleventh hour to release it.

I heard that Romney cheated on hie third grade math test. LOL!

The consensus of the closest friends and acquaintances of Romney is that he is a genuinely nice guy. People who have known him for years say the same thing. Out of the blue comes a story about him that no one can remember or corroborate by someone who admits his motivation is political, tacitly admitting that he is a liberal, and the media takes his claim at face value. Fascinating. Okay let’s get back to things that matter. Obama owns the dismal unemployment rate and slow recovery. But apparently he “forgets.” He also forgets that instead of trying to help the economy recover he was focused on crafting the worst and most unpopular health care legislation ever, effectively destroying a large and vibrant, recession-proof sectorof the economy: health care. He also forgot a lot of his campaign promises including “change”, transparency, and post-partisanship. In November we’ll help him remember what a lousy job he and his administration have done.

Some common sense here folks, Obama comes out in support of gay marriage, next he goes to Hollywood for a fund raiser, now his minions dredge up anti- gay crap from Romney’s high schol days, sound like a plan, well it IS!!!!

Your desperation, dear Obama and liberals, strikes me as pathetic and rather entertaining to see.

And it’s rather hypocritical to be hammering Romney for one small thing when Obama himself got into drugs, drinking and smoking.

What right, say you, do you have to be trying to bash Romney when your dear President, liberals, has done worse things in his life?

Yeah, I really want you in office again, don’t I?

You are unbelieveable. There is so much CRAP on O’Bama out there and you have to go back 45 years to find something (mabye true, maybe not) about Romney. SAD, SAD, SAD!!

I also heard that Mitt stole paste in Preschool. A bully and a thief. Should certainly disqualify him from the Presidency.

Really? I have been a long time viewer and fan of GMA, but this is it! Going back to someones high school years to dig up bulling charges?? This is all you guys can come up with….very disapointing! To have such a fun talented group and i love Robin R…come on ABC, its very OBVIOUS you guys have become so biased in your reporting and stories…..YOU HAVE TOTALLY LOST ME AS A VIEWER…..GONE FOR GOOD!

This is just a shameless attempt by the Romney campaign to shore up his anti-gay credentials.

The sad thing is that it really has seemed to energize his base.

Now its clear why Obama hides everything about his youth — his supporters are going to go out and dig up four-decade old stories on others and run them to smear people.

Look. Whether you like Romney or not, think one thing: are you voting for a teenager for president. Maybe this happened, maybe it didn’t. There’s no evidence either way. But it was nearly 50 years ago if it happened at all. THis report (?) wont change my vote.

Well, i guess Barry just helped fire up the fringe Republican base who was considering staying home. So by coming out of the closet he lost some independent votes and fired up the bigot part of the Republican base. Political Fail.

Seriously, What a joke! 50 years ago, give us a break. You start off the show as this as your HEADLINE NEWS!

A pack of dogs going around cuting hair , Ba ha ha ha thats funny. the Obama generation just goes around and finds a lonely white boy to do a beat down to coma state, no big deal ABC is pathetic.

OMG ABC, you have hit an all time liberal biased low. Congrats.

So this is the best dirt they can dig up on Romney??? If anyone here can raise their hand and say they never did anything stupid or something they regret in High School, I’ll call them a liar. Think back to the days before people were such wienies, that’s pretty tame by yesterdays standards.

Maybe this happened, maybe it didn’t. There’s no evidence either way.
Posted by: Jsmith | May 11, 2012, 7:41 am.

Romney has admitted that it happened. He says he doesn’t remember anything ABOUT it happening (like details), but that he knows it DID happen, he knows he did it. He also said that, even though he doesn’t remember any details about it, he definitely didn’t know he was bullying a gay kid. Which is a detail. That he claims he doesn’t remember. Except, he does remember this one, exculpatory detail. And he said all this while chuckling, and almost laughing outright. Listen to the interview. He also said he is sorry – “deeply, truly sorry” – for this thing that he did that he doesn’t remember any details about but remembers that he did it. Personally, I believe he’s lying through his teeth. I believe he remembers what he did and who he did it to. I’m surprised all you Romney supporters believe him. Since so many of you say, quite frequently, that all politicians do is lie. Guess you mean “except my guy”.

In the grand scheme of things, this little window into the past won’t hurt Willard with his base. Nothing will. Independents and Moderates look at things like this, and what he did to his family dog, and they think, “What kind of person was this guy when he was younger?” It’s not a pretty picture. Will it change anyone’s vote? Who knows. Maybe some. Personally I think it’s a fascinating glimpse into the nature of the man the Right thinks is the best guy to be President of the United States and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. Sure, some bullies change their stripes as they grow older and mature. But some don’t…..

—Get a life

I was in high school at that same time and I don’t remember ever knowing about a gay person and my high school had 2000 kids in it. If this is all they have give it up. At least it didn’t do cocaine and run around with terrorist as Obama did.

Obama was a fratboy jock in school…I’m sure there was bullying going on from him too. Why aren’t the news media researching this?

Wow. LOL! The All Barack Channel is really desperate, really early!

DAVE said:” For Kerry there was the Swift Boating,”… just think, if this had not of happened, John Edwards could still be VP.

LEXINGTONLADY There is a huge difference between hurting yourself and hurting others====Drug and alcohol abuse has proven to cause abuse and physical violence in families towards children and spouses . You did know that ..right? Another idiot..

This is the best you could dig up ABC? The man who was allegedly bullied own sister has said this is crap, but you just have to have some kind of dirt to push so you print it anyway. Few people when they were in school were perfect, and the fact that your Pres has admitted to drugs and skipping classes is proof that people do dumb things at times in their youth. How about finding something positive to print for a change … oh no that won’t happen, you hate the conservatives at this site … you couldn’t possibly publish anything that might shine a light on Romney’s positives….like maybe his ability to know how to work ???

Maybe this happened, maybe it didn’t. There’s no evidence either way.

___________________
I saw Romney’s own speech on the matter. He does NOT remember the incident. He clearly said IF the incident happened and somebody got hurt he apologizes. He also said that as a kid neither he, nor any other kid back then were thinking of whether other kids were “gay”.

Obama said in his own autobiography that he bullied a girl in high school by pushing her against a wall. Interesting how you never mention THAT incident.

If you are so “disgusted with the GOP”, I am “disgusted” with YOUR party and their continued lying to score political points.

Obama has NO record to campaign on. The economy is in shambles. The only reason this story is out is to divert people’s attention from the economy. Good luck doing THAT.

Now we find out this is all a big lie! How quickly the media will spread anything to help Obama and hurt Romney…reminds me of Dan Rather and now everyone looses all respect for you as journalist and truth tellers. Sickening.

soooooo–this guy considers Rommney a good friend–wonder what he says about his enemies!!! another nut case out for a moment of fame

Obama is politically expedient, he sent out sentilnels, Biden and Duncan to scope out “sentiment” prior to his” revealing” evolution on gay marriage. Almost immediately a well crafted political ad promoting him came out. Then the MSM ran a story about a supposed bullying episode about Romney and bullying. ABC failed to report, according to the Blaze, ” Christine Lauber, the older sister of Romney’s classmate, John Lauber, claims she has no knowledge of the bullying incident involving her brother, who passed away from liver cancer in 2004. When ABC News showed Christine the story, she became agitated and somewhat emotional”. The MSM is now complicit in the deastruction of America and the promotional propagandizing of a failed communist president

Horrible abc. Sounds like desperation has set in.

Don’t you think you should retract the story since the Washington Post printing lies?

There are statements in Obama’s book that he bullied too…so whats the point besides trying to throw mud at Romney?

LOL. As adults, neither Obama nor Romney is a typical “bully”, but it is surely true that Obama is so surrounded by moronic sycophants and flatterers and so narcissistic that he will attempt to “bully” or steamroll people from time to time. Remember his stupid incident with Governor Brewer on the tarmac — which he started, and she firmly finished. LOL.

Look William, ye with no class because all you do is name call, you’ve sat here ranting about a guy doing a bit of drugs in HS and I brought up how your republican before him had a worse record. Why you think coming on here bullying anybody over their opinion, especially when theirs appears to be entirely more rational than yours is, is beyond me. If you’re going to sit here trying to paint Obama as horrible over his deeds it’s fair game to remind you that Bush was by far, and I do mean FAR, worse. As in a father that was married. I’m sorry you feel stupid that I reminded you of this. Some of you need to grow the heck up.

Michael Stanton do you REALLY buy that Romney doesn’t recall holding some gay kid down and cutting off his hair? You have got to be kidding me. All those other people remember this but he somehow doesn’t? Yeah, right. Like I’ve said – it annoys me he’s lying about recalling it. He should have just said he was stupid in HS and regretted it. I can’t believe you guys believe this. Romney lies more than any person I have ever seen run for this office. And yeah, how bout that Obama. He owns his stuff. I swear, they could tell you people anything and you’ve buy it. I’m sure he had no clue he had a Swiss bank account either.

“All those other people…”
POSTED BY: LEXINGTONLADY
Uh, check it out. All those people ends up being basically one person, at least the negative version of it. Get honest for once. Obama owns nothing — he evades responsibility like a mouse tries to evade snakes and cats.

Astounding.. The “Free Press” can dig up Mitt highscool classmates but “conveniently” have amnesia when guys like Bob Kerrey(Running for senate in Nebraska) have their presidential campaign derailed by a tasteless lesbian joke.

I’m sure he had no clue he had a Swiss bank account either.

POSTED BY: LEXINGTONLADY—–I could care less if he owned the Swiss Bank.

ABC you are passing out the Kool-aid a little early. You are looking so sad

This sort of cheap stuff won’t help Obama. It only makes him seem far more desperate than he already is.

Who cares?
That was almost 50 years ago. Are you the same as when you were in HS?

The family of the boy said it NEVER happened. John is dead and cannot comment.
The liberal media lies again!

Five different people who attended boarding school with Romney say they remember holding down that boy while he screamed, terrified as Mitt Romney chopped off his hair. Why is ABC pretending that it only has to be “suspicious” of one of them? Perhaps Diane Sawyer feels personally put-upon after her infamous puff-piece on Mitt and Ann Romney some weeks ago, and was downplaying the fact that the incident haunted several of the people involved. That cruel Mitt Romney was the ringleader who put the horrible idea into other people’s heads is chilling. He grew into a “man” who would risk the life of the family pet who could have been hurled at high speed to a painful death. And he grew into a “man” who could wipe out employee pensions by pocketing them and throwing employees out onto the street to enrich himself. The weird laughter when Romney talks about a “”Funny” -Story-About-A-Factory-Closing;” his bizarre admission that, “I LIKE Firing people who…,” his cracking “jokes” about being “unemployed” in front of people suffering financially because of unemployment all come together to paint the picture of a “man” who was defeated for a second term as governor in his state and had a mere 30% approval rating when he was. Romney’s scary. The American people don’t like him because they always sensed something scary about him!

What is freaky is how many people say that this insight into Mitt Romney’s character doesn’t matter. It tells you how many untrustworthy and potentially predatory people are out there, who will dismiss an incident that could profoundly alter the person attacked. Think about someone like Romney leading our foreign policy, if they cannot muster any empathy or even try to perceive the experiences of others. This lack of empathy has lead us into all kinds of wars and troubles with other countries. Whatever happened to “do unto others AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU?”

The more I learn about Romney, the more creepy this guy gets!

Ah…. the Media Matters bunch has finally decided to earn their pay.

I asked some teen agers about this. In essence what Romney did in High School was to lead a pack of dogs to bully those who were different from they. Whenever they saw a target, as long as they outnumbered him, they would hound and bait the poor guy. That is the version given by the young folks I talked to. And this is “classic” behavior. The major reason(s) Romney never got into trouble for his actions was that he father was a political celebrity. These were not pranks. They were assault and battery.

If the Super Pac supporting Obama is on the ball, they are now researching for more instances like this in and out of school. This will be a “death” of a thousand cuts situation. And we will have to endure the media coverage of this until 11/2012.

BOB RAMOS—Hey Bob…..This took place in 1965 pal. Trying to relate that to the PC crowd we have today is waaaaay out there. Good luck with that.

Bob Ramos | May 11, 2012, 12:00 pm — What a crock!! —- Did you ever do something in high school you regret and would not do now?? — Get over it! — This is NOT even worthy of the space on ABC…. but Obama has NO RECORD he can run on… he has to attack!!!

Ok, I’m pretty liberal, well, centrist anyway, given the GOP these days, I guess that makes me a liberal. but I have to say, this is crap. Who the heck went back to Romney’s high school days and dragged someone out who saw him cut someone’s hair??? really??? This is during an age of Animal House and so many other prankster movies. This is beyond stupid. In fact, when you pick on someone by doing something like this to them, I swear, it only makes people support him out of feeling bad for him. Stupid stupid stupid story. Trash it. this is not news.

POSTED BY: NOT UR AVERAGE JOE | MAY 10, 2012, 6:14 PM 6:14 PM______________Romney is the one who makes the whole thing ridiculous by saying he does not remember it. Notice that he does not directly apologize. How could he if he says he does not remember it? What people see is a character that adds to a perception that Mitt Romney cannot be trusted.

What’s TRUELY SCAREY…… after 3 1/2 years… we still don’t know about Obama’s birth certificate, his weird Social Security #, his college records, his father’s polygamy, his Indonesian citizenship that revoked his US citizenship……. but don’t bring it up… or your a “racist”!!!

If this gentleman was victimized back then for being gay – isn’t he being victimized again by having his name all over the news? They could tell the story without naming names. If he wants to come forward it should be his choice. Good grief.

POSTED BY: NOFLYZONE2—No but his family is and you can tell by what they have said that they are not to happy about being dragged into this pile of Obama crap.

I am appalled but not surprised at how many people think this is just a “high school prank” and are trying to minimize the message here. Let me type slowly and use simple words for you….this speaks volumes about his character today. First, that he would assault another student in the first place; second, that, even today, he calls it a “prank;” third, that he ‘doesn’t remember’ doing it (even though his campaign reps confirmed he was involved; fourth, that now, these classmates are claiming he is “wonderful, thoughtful and bright. Well, here’s how NORMAL people see this: Yes, we all do stupid stuff in high school-not many attack another student and do the one thing that he knew would shame him the most; that you might view this as a prank 40 years ago, the fact that you STILL call it a prank shows that you are completely and utterly ignorant and (as usual) avoiding responsibility; ‘can’t remember’ indeed! I dont think you get to plead protection under the 5th Amendment outside a courtroom. You remember and you’ve been proud of yourself from that moment to this…you are convinced that because he was gay (in reality or in your opinion) he was your victim to do with as you please!
What scares me more than anything else is that I might be the target of your next prank….if your moronic followers vote you into office!!!!!!

Wow ABC what a desperate story. That’s the best you got?

POSTED BY: MARK | MAY 10, 2012, 6:48 PM 6:48 PM________________________________No, the best is yet to come as long as etch-a-sketch is still around. Stay tuned.

When you are starting to lose momentum in the polls you come up with this silliness? Obama and his minions are losing it fast.

Romney is trying to bully Obama; he told Obama to start packing, and he is now taking credit for the auto comeback.

Let’s get this clear folks. Mitt Romney was 18 years old when he assaulted another student who was different from himself. He was legally an adult and should have been prosecuted and kicked out of his elite prep school- but Daddy was governor of the state.

One year later he should have been drafted into the army and served in Vietnam- but this time Daddy intervened and sent him to live in France for two and a half years where he lived in a mansion. He supported the war but let others do the fighting for him..

At Bain Capital Mitt Romney continued his bullying tactics by raiding solvent companies, borrowing against their equity, outsourcing the jobs overseas and often p;lacing the businesses into bankruptcy for his own personal profit.

Nothing has changed with the person’s lack of character. He is a fraud.

LOL!! — Obama now down 7 points….. he can’t run on his record… so they have to point fingers and say “bully”!! — LOL… what a joke!!!! — The elections as good as over right now!!!

I don’t really care what Mitt did when he was a teenager.

The reality is that now he’s a financial bully. He used his money to bully Newt, Santorum and Ron Paul. He bombarded then with negative ads knowing they didn’t have the money to respond or compete.

Now he’s up against an organization (DNC) that can match him dollar for dollar and like any bully he can’t handle it.

NoFlyZone2 | May 11, 2012, 1:24 pm — You must limit your news to MSNBC — all I posted is true… it is common knowledge!!! —- The Obama Administration ADMITTED the birth certificate they showed America had been photo-shopped!!! —- Obama has a SS # assigned to the state of Connecticut, even though he has NEVER lived there!! —- Obama’s father was married to 2 women at the same time, never bothering to get divorced before marrying again!! —– Obama wont release his college records… ANY college records (probably because at Occidental it would show he was listed as a “foreign student” which got him aid!) ——— Try reading occassionally!!!

What I really want to know is this: Why doesn’t Romney have more than one wife. I thought Mormons had multiple wives. It’s confusing that so many right-wing Christian Republicans would vote for Romney. Defense of marriage between one man and one woman?

Gallup today…More than six in 10 Americans think the United States benefits from having a class of rich people, unchanged from 22 years ago. Similarly, 63% say they personally would like to be rich, up from 59% in 1990.

So I guess Obama saw that his “distraction” campaign needed to call Romney a “bully”…. LOL!!! — I wonder why he can’t just run on HIS RECORD!?!?!? —- Let’s see…. massive $16 T debt… Slowest recovery (snicker… “recovery”… snicker) from a recession in 60 years… Senate hasn’t passed a budget in 3 yrs… Obama budgets voted down unanimously… FED buying US debt because China won’t… AG Holder lies to Congress and ignores subpoenas… US credit downgrade… Iran about to make a nuke… GDP drops to 2.2… unemployment rate expected to rise… less Americans working now than when Obama took office… Taliban getting stronger as we RELEASE captured players…. Hmmm… maybe that’s why he’s distracting attention!!

You’re whining that people are starting to pick apart Romney’s life? Obama’s opponents took him all the way back to birth and you conservatives were just fine with that. You also ran him through the ringer on who he hung out with in college, what he thought of being black as a youth, etc, etc. Get used to it Romney. The Presidential race is nothing but smear tactics now.
Its not like a liberal Republican is going to show off his accomplishments. His party isn’t interested in anything he has done. They just want him to beat the other guy. Just say NO, right Republicans? That’s been your mantra for the last 3 years. Accomplish nothing, work toward nothing other than defeating Obama. That’s been the plan all along. Keep whining. You show your true colors every time you open your mouths or start typing.
Crying that the other guy was a big meany is all the conservatives and their media overlords have to go on now.
Or, you could run a campaign on what Romney would do to make this a better country. If only he would tell us. All I hear is, “I wont do what that guy did.” Have fun losing in November.

The despicable aspect of this story is the “news” media, including ABC News. (Hey, I’ve watched ABC World News for around 45 years, so it pains me to say this.) I expected better from David Muir. The agenda-laden Marxist U.S. media highlight an incident that purportedly happened 4 decades ago.

1) This is just another distraction from addressing the critical problems we now face. This is a typical Obama tactic. 2) Where’s the multitude of stories about Obama’s extensive illegal drug use? What about is self-proclaimed bullying Obama talked about in his book? What about his Marxists beliefs, both then and now? What about Obama’s fundamental usurpation of our Constitution (not a born of 2 U.S. citizen parents)? What about the new findings of his forged documents. Why has the media not demanded access to all of the suppressed documents (Selective Service, school records, college thesis, et. al.)?

Yes, ABC News has jumped the shark years ago and is now a loathsome mouthpiece for the communist agenda that is destroying our Country!

you idiots have had FIVE YEARS

Why is the news ignoring Romney’s smashing a door into a blind teacher’s face? It wasn’t a gang attack, but–come on–a BLIND teacher? There is something wrong with Romney that goes beyond the narcissism usually associated with the elites. He’s approaching sociopathy, IMO.

He should NOT be a candidate for U.S. President, where he can use the power of the presidency to make budget cuts and public policy based on his bigotry.

I love all the people that talk about how a 6 year old ate dog meat, but Mitt’s teenage years are off limits….

Mitt carried his dog in a port-a-kennel 14 years ago and he may have stood by while another boy cut a boy’s hair 50 years ago. Wow! This is the squeeky-cleanest candidate of my lifetime.

@KIRSTEN, the dog eating thing came from Obama’s own book, and it came out more after silly Obama bots tried to smear Romney about the care of his dog. Get it?

BERT AND ERNIE CLOSES THE LID ON THE COOKIE MONSTER WHILE BIG BIRD LOOKS ON!!!! TO THIS DAY BIG BIRD CAN NOT HELP BUT RE-LIVE THE PAST MEMORY THAT HAUNTS HIM TO THIS DAY!!!!

POSTED BY: RIPLEY
Yes, thank god for the “obstructionists”, or we’d be even further in debt and yet no further improved in our “recovery”. Obama is like a spoiled child who must be protected from his own misguided notions and desires.

Yes, the real attempt at bullying is this flimsy story itself, very desperate bullying to be sure, born of Obama’s fading and collapsing, but bullying nonetheless. Now, how about the media truly start seriously asking how in the world did Obama even get into a prestigious college at all, when by his OWN statements, he was in a “daze” of alcohol and drugs his last two years of high school. And his grades and thesis from college? Still being kept secret. Too laughably lame and suspicious, obviously.

“I am starting to see that the smear tactics are NOT working for Obama’s gang at all.”
POSTED BY: ETCH-A-SKETCH
Have to agree. I support Obama, and yet the bias and hollowness of this stuff about Romney (and the continued fluff about Obama) is just TOO BLATANT to be effective. It is backfiring.

All dirt is fair game in an election. Obama’s is bombarded with everything including what he listened to in church by Obama haters. Romney is no exception nor was Bush with youthful antics. What is important is the character of people and it shines through in their actions. Romney’s integrity does not ring true to me. He will say, pay or do whatever is required to get elected. That says something to me. I don’t like Obama’s stand on gay marriage but he is entitled to an opinions that offend some. People who will sell their vote or take any stand have limited integrity. Obama has more than Romney in my view so I will vote for him. He did what he said he would do, get us out of war, give us healthcare options, hold 9/11 perpetrators accountable, work with both sides of the aisle to help the economy despite an avowed effort to discredit and force him to a one term by a party out to destroy any good without consideration for the country. Romney fails to understand my financial plight. He and the wealthy powers in this country are part of our problem, not the solution.

This incident tells us about Romney’s character. Romney claims he has changed; yet he still calls a mean and vicious assault a “prank”. So I don’t buy it. Where is the real regret or remorse ?? Once a mean, callous and cowardly bully, always a mean, callous and cowardly bully. The slick, older Romney may be more sophisticated about concealing the bullying side of his character; but somehow I think we are now going to learn a lot more about it, despite his best efforts to conceal it or laugh it off.

About Romney and cowardice: during the Viet Nam war, Romney did everything he could to avoid military service … even though he went on demonstrations in favor of the Viet Nam war. Didn’t want to be one of the 50,000 young Americans who lost their lives in that war — or the thousands more who lost their limbs. He wanted the war he clamored for, to be fought by the “little people” like you and me. Like Dick Cheney, Romney had “other priorities” for his life.

I don’t know why anyone is surprised. He bullied kids not like him…i even heard that he locked a blind teacher in the closet in high school…..he strapped a dog to the top of his car. He’s a boy who was white and privileged and he picked on people not like him. It’s all fun and games unless you are the one being bullied.

I know that children can be cruel and that many who bully when they are young grow up to become advocates for those who are bullied. They do this because they see the damage caused by those who bully and they are truly sorry for the pain they caused to others. This does not seem to be the case with Romney, this was not a “practical joke” and he should be ashamed of himself for trying to pass it off as such. I was bullied when I was growing up and I taught my children to be tolerant of all people and to stand up against bullying. Children have enough to deal with today and they do not need to be tormented and tortured by their peers. I am sickened that he seems to find this funny and that he shows absolutely no remorse. This is not the kind of person I want my children looking up to and definetly not a person I want running this country.

This news of Romney ‘s bullying cannot be good news for his campaign — but in mitigation(lol), I would like to point out that Mitt would come to the aid of Mormonism in France only a few years later, when the beleagured, if not bullied, population of his fellow Mormons at the time amounted to no more than .06% of the French people. And yet in defiance of the odds, he flung himself overseas to achieve whatever his small powers might. And so I encourage Mitt’s supporters to bring forward just these exploits whenever they hear their boy set upon by ‘bullying news reporters’ and ‘malicious fact checkers’…. Why, there was nothing that set Mitt off more in those days than the specter of an unequal fight !

Sure I did stupid things in high school but i NEVER pinned a guy down and forceably cut his hair.

That’s disgusting.

Mitt Romney was a privileged and spoiled rich kid who behaved the way kids brought up that way behave … as if they are entitled. However, what we did in high school should not be held against us because teenagers are stupid people who do stupid things; we all grow up, or at least most of us do, and move on, regretting the stupid things we did in high school. I’m not a fan of Romney’s, but this story is old news, as I believe I’ve seen it before; and where is the boy whose hair he cut? Has he come forward? Is he voting for Romney? I’m curious.

What’s shocking to me is that so many people in these responses are characterizing Romney’s pinning down and cutting the hair of a student as a high school “prank”. I don’t know if it should be a consideration when it comes to deciding who to vote for. Let’s hope the man has changed. But harming another individual for your own amusement can’t be called “silly, mad-cap antics”. It’s sociopathic!
