Romney Should Apologize for This

I hope the Romney campaign is proud of themselves. They have people down in Florida calling folks in the Cuban community and saying things like this when they encounter Obama supporters:

"Pero señora el señor RRONGNEY tiene una familia muy linda. Obama no. Obama tuvo un padre boracho y una madre que no lo quería!"

(but mam Mr RRONGNEY has a beautiful family. Obama doesn't. Obama had a father who was a drunk and a mother who did not love him!)


RRONGNEY is just the phonetic spelling of the way the caller pronounced 'Romney.' I think that it is just shameful that someone from Romney's campaign would call people and tell them that the president's mother didn't love him. And this must be going on a lot.

What a disgrace.
