Two different Romney spokespeople give the exact same answers to two different questions

Romney Campaign: Same Answers to Different Questions
By Matt Negrin
Jul 5, 2012 5:19pm

Mitt Romney’s spokespeople have apparently run out of words.

Here’s Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg’s statement to the press earlier today about reports by the AP and Vanity Fair about Romney’s offshore accounts in Bermuda:

“President Obama’s attacks on Mitt Romney have been proven false time and again. As job growth slows, manufacturing activity stalls, and our economy continues to sputter, President Obama knows he can’t make a legitimate argument for another term in office, so instead he is trying to tear down his opponent. This is just the latest example of President Obama and his political machine saying or doing anything to distract from his abysmal record over the last four years.”


And here’s Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul responding to an interview that Obama strategist David Axelrod gave to ABC News, in which he said Romney is “the most secretive candidate” since Richard Nixon:


“President Obama’s attacks on Mitt Romney have been proven false time and again. As job growth slows, manufacturing activity stalls, and our economy continues to sputter, President Obama knows he can’t make a legitimate argument for another term in office, so instead he is trying to tear down his opponent. This is just the latest example of President Obama and his political machine saying or doing anything to distract from his abysmal record over the last four years.”


We asked the Romney campaign why they’re using the same statements and will update if they respond with another statement about their statements.

C'mon guys, live a little. One of you could call Obama's record "dreadful," instead of "abysmal," e.g.

That same answer will work for any number of Romney's failings.

They just ripped a page out of Arthur Carlson's political playbook... If he wins in November he won't be pardoning turkeys, he will be dropping them from a helicopter.
