President invokes term 'Romnesia' when addressing crowds in Delray Beach

The day following the third and final presidential debate in Boca Raton, Florida, President Barack Obama continued to lob "zingers" at his GOP opponent Mitt Romney. Speaking to crowds at nearby Delray Beach the following day, the president told supporters that Romney had a "severe outbreak" of "Romnesia" the previous night. The president was referring to his opponent's changing stance on Iraq and the auto industry.

Obama travels next to Ohio, where he'll hold a rare joint rally with Vice President Joe Biden this afternoon.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "We've come up with a name for this condition. It's called Romnesia," Obama said. The president joked a "severe case" had broken out on Monday -- "maybe stage three."

The president then shifted to tout his own plans for a second term. He proffered a 20-page pamphlet, "A New Economic Patriotism" passed out by his campaign to reporters and supporters earlier in the day. The pamphlet summarized points found on his campaign Web site.

"I've laid out a plan for jobs and middle class security. And unlike Mitt Romney I'm actually proud to talk about what's in it," Obama said as he held up the booklet.

Obama returned to foreign policy by the end of his speech, pillorying Romney for not mentioning American veterans during the debate.

President Obama voiced his concerns over Governor Romney's foreign policy doctrine saying that it was "all over the map.

"In the same way that Governor Romney didn't mention the Afghan war or our troops in his convention speech Governor Romney didn't mention our veterans last night. He didn't say a word about them," he said.

"He may written off half the country as victims behind closed doors, but the men and women and their families who have served this country so bravely, they deserve better from someone who is applying to be commander in chief," he said.

Obama reiterated a line he had used the night previously to criticize Romney's proposals, on foreign policy and other issues, as outdated.

"His foreign policy is from the 1980s, his social policy is from the 1950s and his economic policies are from the 1920s," he said.

Obama travels next to Ohio, where he'll hold a rare joint rally with Vice President Joe Biden this afternoon.

Well, at least Romney will have a pro-life second-in-command who is a faithful Catholic. I agree that there are only faint shades of distinction between Romney and Obama on social issues. As far as I can see, Obama aggressively promotes social chaos and Romney cheerfully tolerates it.

Socialism is a losing proposition and Obama leans very hard in that direction. I prefer Romney over Obama, hands down. I may write in the Constitutional candidate when I vote, though. Romney is heavily favored over Obama in my state. I don't like the Constitutional party on immigration. I'm still praying on how to vote.

Regarding foreign policy, the key is putting together a good cabinet. The president need not be an expert himself, he only needs to know how to pick the right support staff. Romney is definitely intelligent enough to assemble a good cabinet.

And...? It's an election year. Romney's on the attack, too, also non-stop, and his record is no better or more honorable than Obama's. Real Catholics don't have a candidate worthy of our vote this year. Can't really grasp why C.O. is so incredibly biased toward Romney... just because he's a Republican means NOTHING. We're STILL talking about a guy who's been pro-choice his whole career, has zero foreign affairs experience, was Governor of the first state to legalize gay marriage, authored the plan on which Obamacare is based, etc. etc. etc... Instead of steadfastly backing one lying loser over another, we OUGHT to be screaming for real chaange, and working toward fiding a caandidate for 2016 who will actually represent us and our values. Obama's lying? Obama's attacking? Give me a break. There's no real difference between the two. Not really.

To say he continues the lie, for the mole in his own eye he disregards, to his polices in general deemed to be of no merit & to his Change of all changes has been the induction of Gay agendas even into the military, that which he calls as liberty, but then what makes him think that it is not the Curse, that which in Bible means & proves to sodom to its ways arising out of beliefs stated to be on the other side of Jordan to the mountain of curse, instead of the mountain of blessing on this side of Jordan, biblically stated.
