"You Olympians, however, know you didn't get here solely on your own power," said Romney, who on Friday will attend the Opening Ceremonies of this year’s Summer Olympics. "For most of you, loving parents, sisters or brothers, encouraged your hopes, coaches guided, communities built venues in order to organize competitions."

This is exactly like the out-of-context quote for which Obama is being criticized. So, okay DCUM right-wingers. Let's hear you condemn Romney for being against success.

The Salt Lake City athletes owe their medals to Mitt. Mitt saved the Olympics! He loves the Olympics! But Mitt loves America even more!

Poor Obama. A column in yesterday's Post said that Maine lobstermen are even blaming Obama for low prices this summer.... (there's an oversupply of soft-shelled lobsters that is depressing prices).

Guess that Mitt "retoactively revised" his prior remarks.

This doesn't address the issue Jeff raised - which was taking Romney's words, which are uncannily similar to Obama's, out of context.

Like most wingnuts on a steady diet of Fox News, you seem to have some issues with correctly recalling the past.

Mitt Romney did not run the USOC. He had nothing to do with training athletes to win medals. He ran the Salt Lake Organizing Committee, the organization that hosts the olympics.

Did Mitt spend the preceeding 4 years denigrating and demonizing Olympians also? I thought not. Move along. Nothing to see here.

This is was happens when your outsource your thinking cap. If Mitt was making his own decisions he would at least try to be consistent.

Nice try Panty Sniffer. But no. They are saying almost EXACTLY the same thing. It takes a village. Or a "community" as Mitt called it. No man is an island. Nor is a business person nor is an athlete. None of us makes it on our own.

He's not done yet. Give him another year or two, and I'm sure he'll flip flop like a gymnast.
