A confidential memo
prepared by his staff outlining various strategies cautioned that the candidate
could not wage a winning campaign on ideas and issues without either alienating
a constituency he had previously pandered to or reminding his supporters that
he was once again contradicting himself.
Among the examples
noted were promising that as the president he would repeal the same health care
program he had enacted as governor, claiming credit for the auto industry
bailout he had originally opposed, and attempting to reconcile his ability to
create jobs with his record at Bain Capital.
The memo also recognized
his aloof empty suit dancing horse dog on the roof ten thousand dollar betting
Cayman island tax sheltering country should be run like a business bragging super
rich one percenter oblivious to the concerns of commoners cardboard cutout late
night monologue fodder image problem.
The only viable
option is to constantly remind voters that it doesn’t matter who he is or
isn’t, or what he does or doesn’t stand for, or what he might or might not do
as president, but what he is most definitely and most consistently not. All
people need to know, the memo concluded, is Mitt Romney is not Barack Obama.
Included were mockups
of smiling Romney image “I’m not Obama!" lawn signs, samples of simple "Romney...he's
not Obama!" bumper stickers, and TV ad storyboards featuring the usual patriotic
images and the tagline “I’m Mitt Romney, I approved this message, and I’m not
Barack Obama.”
Mitt's campaign reports that scads of family photos through the years, as well as interviews with numerous long-time friends & associates reveal that Mitt's hairstyle has remained consistently unchanged for decades. Any accusation, therefore, that Mitt is in anyway chameleon-like is utterly specious.
