Quote For the Day: Washington Post “Staged” Edition
In addition to his more confrontational tone with Obama this week, Romney has also sought to be a bit more personable.
Earlier this week he sat down with four married couples for a staged outdoor picnic in Bethel Park, Pa., and suggested that Obama should do the same.
“This is a president who doesn’t understand what the American people are experiencing,” Romney said. “He needs to sit down with folks and understand how difficult these years have been and take responsibility.”
Am I reading too much into the above excerpt, or is it evidence that, at least on reporter at the Washington Post, thinks that Mitt Romney is as much of a douchebag as the rest of us do?
Then again, I guess sitting down to a staged picnic with four carefully screened couples is no less valid a way of learning about the economic travails of the unwashed than turning to his wife for insight on the day to day struggles and hardships of ordinary women whose husbands aren’t worth $250 million.
Actually, the fact that WaPo only insinuated that R-Money is a douchebag *is* the suck-up presentation of the event:

Failing to mention that the campaign couldn’t actually FIND four couples that could parrot the GOP line is pretty much ignoring the real story…
“This is a president candidate who doesn’t understand what the American people are experiencing,” Romney said. “He I need to sit down with folks and understand how difficult these years have been and take responsibility.”
Corrected… projection removed.
@al2o3cr:
LOL, that’s awesome. So Romney staged a picnic with a handful of ordinary Americans to find out what they really think about the economy and government budgets and it turns out they pretty much agree with his opponent.
Speaking of “staged” …
