Romneys put tiny N.H. town in the spotlight

Residents get a taste of presidential flavor

WOLFEBORO, N.H. — Around this summer haven, residents say the Romneys are a common sight, often after the dinner hour, at Bailey’s Bubble.

Mitt, Ann, perhaps the boys — who are not boys anymore, though that’s what everyone around town still calls them — and the grandkids queue up at the ice cream stand. Surrounded by sticky-fingered youngsters, they greet fellow Bermuda-shorts wearers.

President Obama - Millions of people are giving him hundreds of dollars to get elected. Governor Romney - Hundreds of people are giving him millions of dollars to get elected.

Are we surprised he likes vanilla?

What a wonderful backhanded profile. Showing pictures of Romney enjoying himself on vacation at a summer home he WORKED to earn and then comparing it to the lack of vacation this summer for Obama. Obama, who would stay at the home that was the fruit of someone else's labor. You should note that Obama has set a record for presidential leisure time. So please, no more hand-wringing empathy for the man who is foregoing an island vacation and wine drinking with RICH supporters and sitting at the White House instead. He's taken OT plenty easy the past few years.

I knew the Globe couldn't write an unbiased article. Not surprised by the lust last sentence.

Mitt Romney : a true lover of America and its ideals. Work hard and play hard and if you're successful, donate to charity , as he has done magnanimously. Barack Obama: raised in Indonesian schools and mosques as a youngster,then raised by socialist Hawaiian Grandparents and mentored by American Communist Franklin Davis,later to be primed by Chicagoan agitator Saul Alinsky. Obama: a sponge-like amateur and community organizer in chief. Toast of the vapid Hollywood crowd, the ivory tower scsdemic echo-chamber and beloved by the see-no-evil liberal media. Government growth and control is the objective of his crowd' the purpose of our Founders be damned. Happy Birthday America and Let's elect Mitt !

Mitt Romney without his Brylcreem. Never thought I'd live to see the day.

Sure...it's always of interest when a werewolf shows up in your town....

***You should note that Obama has set a record for presidential leisure time. *** What record? Second to Bush and not even anywhere close to the amount of time Dumbya spent "cutting brush" doen there on his Texas "ranch"...which of course he sold about five minutes after his term was up as there was no need for any further "brush cutting" photo ops. Get your fact straight wingnut...and by the way, do you want to talk a little about The Mittster's "rich supporters".
