Another Bad Day For Romney

stfusexists:

romney2012:

The theme of the day for the Romney campaign was, as Alex Rogers notes below, that Obama’s Soft on Welfare. It sort of flopped.

The factoid planted at the microscopic center of the non-story is that the Obama campaign allegedly granted states the right to request waivers from the current welfare work requirements…which is true, except for the following things

  • 1. The waivers would be granted only if states came up with alternative ideas to create jobs for people on welfare.
  • 2. As governor of Massachusetts, Romney himself asked for such a waiver in 2005.
  • And, this third bit is just too good…3. As governor, Romney offered welfare recipients free auto insurance, registration, inspections and memberships in AAA.

And the way he attempted to paint Obama as bad with welfare? Racist political ads.
