(New York, NY) — During an interview on "Good Morning America" with polished, professional journalist George Stephanopoulos, Mitt Romney (R-MA) predicted that President Obama (D-IL) would lie to his advantage during the scheduled presidential debates. "I think he's going to say a lot of things that aren't accurate," Romney said. He added that "the president tends to, how shall I say it, to say things that aren't true." Republicans were ecstatic at the charges leveled against Obama. "Finally, finally, finally, Mitt is going after that Kenyan in the White House!" exclaimed a rabid Tea Partyist, speaking on condition of anonymity. No response came from Obama's election team, but other Democrats had plenty to say about the latest allegations by the Republican challenger. "OK, President Obama is going to lie and Mitt Romney isn't?" asked a neutral political strategist, speaking on condition of anonymity. "Both parties have gotten so good at bending the truth to their favor, no one knows what the truth really is anymore." "Mitt Romney should run for Hypocrite-in-Chief," said a Democratic official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "Barack Obama is a liar, but Mitt Romney denies saying that the auto industry should have been left for dead, not bailed out? Mitt Romney denies attacking a presumed homosexual by pinning him down and cutting his hair? Mitt Romney denies that putting his dog on top of his car and driving for 12 hours wasn't an act of animal cruelty? Mitt needs to look in the mirror at one of his many houses, because only then will he see the real liar in the upcoming debates." |
