Romney does not attend Inauguration

Post by _lulu »

Would it have been better for Mormonism if he had, like many other presidential candidates?

For the CFR whiners: http://tv.msnbc.com/2013/01/21/where-in ... ot-in-d-c/

Mitt is SUCH a sore LOSER.

And he continues the losing streak:
Romney put out word through people close to him that he wasn’t going to watch President Obama take his ceremonial oath on Monday. Instead, he planned to be at one of his homes in La Jolla, Calif.

A Romney aide told NBC the former Massachusetts governor and his wife Ann have “no big plans.”

And when asked if he’d watch the ceremonies, the aide said, “doubtful.”


One more black eye for LDS Inc from their best member!

At least the Catholic showed up and even tweeted his congratulations to the President:
Romney’s running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, did attend the inauguration and even tweeted “I congratulate President Obama on his inauguration, and I join the country in celebrating this American tradition.”

He didn't attend because the American people dis-invited him in November.

Mitt never had the desire to serve the people. He wanted the top spot and that is all he wanted.

Other candidates over the years who ran and lost still stayed involved. Not Mitt. He couldn't even show up for the Inauguration. This speaks volumes.

To the non LDS public it speaks volumes about Mormons.

Maybe Mitt's sorry attitude is the reason the Mo Tab didn't get to perform at the Inauguration.

He ought to have attended.

Of course he would have come if they had allowed him to ride one of his horses. The white one.

Yes, but we did have the famous Tabernacle Choir.....the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir.

Mitt's Child Like actions and claims (he never really wanted to be President, anyway) have made it almost impossible for any other Mormon to run for the office of President of the United States of America. You don't crap on the Party leaders and not get retribution.
