Romney Has Given Two Versions Of His 9/11 Experience


Romney's description of his 9/11 experience in a speech today differs in one detail from his recollection in his 2002 memoir. A Romney spokesman did not respond to a BuzzFeed request of clarification of how Romney learned of the attacks.

(Previously) 'I was on the phone to Salt Lake City, doing a radio interview. The interviewer interrupted to say there were reports that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I hung up and turned on the small TV in the office."

(Today) 'Someone rushed into our office and said a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I turned the small TV on desk there and watched in shock as flames and smoke erupted from the north tower.'

The smirk versus the genuine hurt on Clinton and Obama's faces shows dignity and compassion in the latter and the other lack of it in the former. I was too disgusted about watching his whole speech, did he even give condolences to the families of Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith, and the others? He essentially attacked the embassy office in Cairo who were trying to separate their embassy from a glorified public access film that is disgusting toward Islam. You know, saving their asses from an angry mob. Something Mitt Romney never had to worry about his whole life.

FactCheck.org: Romney Gets It Backward


Mitt Romney claims the Obama administration issued an 'apology for American values' after U.S. embassies were attacked. Not true. Romney refers to a statement issued before mobs attacked either in Egypt or Libya, and faults U.S. diplomats for failing to condemn actions that hadn't yet happened.

Furthermore, the word 'sorry' or 'apologize' doesn't appear in the statement. Under the headline, 'U.S. Embassy Condemns Religious Incitement,' the embassy in Cairo said, 'Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy.'

Romney has falsely accused Obama of 'apologizing for America' many times before. The line has been a dependable applause-getter with conservative audiences. But we found no basis for this claim in Obama's previous speeches and remarks. And other fact-checkers came to similar conclusions.

Mitt Romney Campaign Busted Ripping Off Obama Campaign Website

The guy will say ANYTHING to get elected. He WILL DO ANYTHING to become President. Lately, he is showing how much he likes to STEAL!

"With so much time and space to fill in the 24-hour news cycle, even typos and glitches have found a place in the sun this campaign season. This week, however, the Romney campaign was caught violating good old Amercian values when they copied, word-for-word, the text from the Obama campaign's donation page. Buzzfeed's Zeke Miller compares the text from the two sites:

FactCheck.org: Romney's Economic Exaggerations

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney claims that his plan would balance the federal budget in eight to 10 years. But so far, he has not made public the details on how he would be able to do that, and one neutral budget expert calls it 'an unrealistic goal.'

Also, Romney and running mate Paul Ryan exaggerate when they say 'five different studies' prove that all of the stated goals of Romney's revenue-neutral tax plan could be accomplished without raising taxes on middle-income taxpayers. Two of the five 'studies' were blog items. And none of three other studies was nonpartisan: Two were written by Romney campaign advisers and a third was by a former economic adviser to President George W. Bush.

The only analysis we were able to find on the Romney budget plan determined what would happen if he cut spending across the board. The liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities calculated that if Social Security isn't touched, all other non-defense spending would have to be cut by 29 percent in 2016 and at least 47 percent in 2022 to balance the budget.

But the five 'studies' aren't all studies and none of them was nonpartisan. Of the three that could be considered studies, two were written by Romney campaign advisers and a third was written by a former economic adviser to President George W. Bush.

FactCheck.org: Romney's Bogus 'Apology' Claim

FactCheck.org Director Brooks Jackson talks to WCBS radio about a false claim that Mitt Romney repeatedly made after the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya and the U.S. embassy in Cairo, Egypt.

Romney said the Obama administration issued an 'apology for American values' after the attacks. That's not true. Romney was referring to a statement issued before mobs attacked either in Egypt or Libya. Furthermore, the word 'sorry' or 'apologize' doesn't appear in the statement.
