Oh Mitt Romney, you flipping moroon.
In New Hampshire Friday, Mitt Romney stumbled over a line about pinning the nation's melancholy on President Obama that found him scrambling to back away from a quote suggesting Republicans are going to "hang" Obama with America's problems in 2012.
"Uh, so to speak -- metaphorically," Romney quickly corrected, before adding, "you have to be careful these days, I've learned that."
Yes, you have to be careful. But most of us wouldn't even consider using "hang" in the context of the president -- regardless of race.
