Sorry, GOP folks!
Nicki Minaj did not endorse Mitt Romney for POTUS.
Today, as Barack Obama was being interviewed by Power 95.3 in Orlando, Fla., he was asked whether he thought Nicki’s lyrics — in “Mercy” on Lil Wayne’s “Dedication 4” — were a Romney-Ryan endorsement.
“I’m not sure that’s actually what happened. I think she had a song on there, that – a little rap that said that. But she likes to play different characters,” Barack said.
In response, Nicki tweeted: “Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do…”.
Bam! And, just like that all the Republican rap fans in the USA sighed.
The YG Network has decided to give GOP women (who are bored at the national convention) the option to get a little girly.
They’ve opened a “Woman Up!” pavilion for hair and makeup touch-ups, because, well, nothing says “girly” more than an on-site salon.
A ThinkProgress reporter asked whether they were also offering a male equivalent to the salon — to which a salon rep responded, “Real men know how to Woman Up!”
So, here we are, the week before the Republican National Convention and it looks like the GOP might have an unexpected attendee — which could wreak havoc in Tampa.
No, we’re talking about neither Sarah Palin nor Ron Paul — we’re talking about Isaac, a potential hurricane.
Right now, there’s a swirl of a storm in the Atlantic that experts say may build up and become either a tropical storm or hurricane.
Rick Gorka, press secretary to Mitt Romney, might want to take some time out to cool his head — and, his tongue.
Journalists were on top of Mitt after he laid a wreath on the “Tomb of the Unknown Soldier” in Pilsudski Square, asking him whether he thought his “gaffes have overshadowed his foreign trip,” and other such taunting comments.
When one reporter complained that he had not been able to ask his question, Rick snapped.
“Kiss my ass,” he said. “This is a holy site for the Polish people. Show some respect.”
It might be time to get Mitt Romney a democracy coach, especially since he’s hoping to become the next POTUS.
The GOP presidential candidate is in London, shaking hands with important folks and doing some fundraising — but, he started his trip off on the wrong foot.
In an interview with NBC this week, Mitt said he’s been hearing “disconcerting” stories about the city’s preparedness for the events.
“It’s hard to know just how well it will turn out,” he said. “Do they come together and celebrate the Olympic moment. That’s something which we only find out once the Games actually begin.”
Mitt’s interview ticked off several important Brits,
Mitt Romney made a bold move at an NAACP event this week.
While addressing the nation’s oldest civil-rights group, he decided to criticize President Obama, which wouldn’t be so bad … if he hadn’t turned it into a race issue.
“If you want a president who will make things better in the African-American community, you’re looking at him,” said Mitt to the boos of the crowd.
Come on, Mitt, let’s use some common sense here: you’re really going to tell a civil rights group that you’re a better policy-maker for the African-American community than the country’s first-ever African-American president?
Even if it were true, we’re not sure the crowds would buy it coming from a white Mormon. Sorry, Mitt!
Better luck next time.
Well, the June fundraising numbers are in for the 2012 presidential election — and, boy, did thePresident Barack Obama’s campaign get its butt kicked by the Mitt Romney campaign.
But, we’re not saying that the Obama camp didn’t raise a lot of money.
According to filings, the Obama camp raised $71 million, which is pretty impressive. But, the Romney Victory Fund was able to raise $35 million more (for a total of $106 million).
Hey, remember when we reporter that a bunch of Dems are skipping their party’s national convention at the end of the summer?
Well, it look as if the trend is crossing the aisle.
On Friday, former Republican Presidential Candidate Jon Hunstman confirmed that he would not be attending his party’s national convention at the end of August in Tampa, Fla.
Mitt Romney took the Democrat-Republican rivalry to a whole ‘nother level during his recent campaign speech in Craig, Colorado.
The presidential candidate had to stop and switch mics after the one he was using crapped out. Mitt faltered as the audio went silent, but quickly recovered once a staff member handed him a new microphone.
“That’s a Republican microphone,” he said approvingly as he picked it up.
