You need to know the symptoms so that you can avoid catching Romnesia:
“We’ve got to name this condition that he’s going through,” Obama said, referring to Mitt Romney’s attempt to undergo a last-minute transformation from a severe conservative to a severe moderate. “I think it’s called Romnesia. That’s what it’s called. I think that’s what he’s going through.”
“Now,” he continued, “I’m not a medical doctor, but i do want to go over the symptoms with you—because i want to make sure nobody else catches it.”And what might those symptoms be? Here’s one example: “You know if you say if you’re for equal pay, but you can’t say if you’ll sign a bill for equal pay, you might have Romnesia.” And: “If you say you think women should have access to contraceptive care, but you support legislation that would let employers deny contraceptive care, you might have Romnesia.” And another: “If you say you you’ll protect a woman’s right to choose, but you stand up in a primary debate and say you’d be delighted to ban abortion in all cases, then you definitely have Romnesia.”
But you don’t need to worry, said the President. “If you have Romnesia, here’s the good news—Obamacare covers preexisting conditions. We can fix you! We can make you well.”
We probably can have some fun with this. I’m betting we could write a 500,000 word blog post using examples of Mitt Romney flip-flopping on the issues or simply contradicting himself. And it can all be set out in true Jeff Foxworthy style.
I think a large chunk of the public has Romnesia…

“As president, I will create 12 million new jobs,” – Mitt Romney, October 16.
“The government doesn’t create jobs,” – Mitt Romney, October 16.
linky thing
And here I thought Romnesia was an old colonial state, built primarily on the principles of white supremacy.
Oh. Wait. It is.
Wish I could rate this a 5.
Very well-done.
Ya gotta give the man his due. I know people love Bill Clinton, but Obama is pretty good on the stump. Unlike Romney, he builds a rhythm and hits it out of the park.
IMHO, Romney always just sounds like he’s reading words and never sounds like he means a thing he says. And when he does sound like he means it he says things like the 47% bullshit
Haven’t thought of the Pousette-Dart band in 35 years….
When you hit me on the head with your beer bottle
Something in my chemistry changed
And though I’ve already decided to forgive you
My friends think I’m permanently deranged.
When I wake up try to put these things together
Of all the lovin’ times that we did have
I get static in my ears and a hazy picture
And I hear your voice inside begin to laugh.
I hope that it’s only amnesia
Believe me I’m sick but not insane
Yeah,I hope that it’s only amnesia
My friends they don’t look at me the same.
Sometimes I feel o.k. but when I talk I stutter
I can’t remember back a few minutes ago
The doctors all come up with the same answer
Boy if I’m that far gone there’s no where left to go.
aargh, meant to hit ‘preview’.
apply the ‘br’ tag topically PRN.
Patients of Romnesia are also often found to suffer from the opportunistic infection Ryanitis.
Serious cases may require Ryanoplasty, in particular if the patient also suffers from chickenhawk syndrome:
This one’s a keeper. It begs all of us to give examples and followup with the ObamaCare cure. Genius!
Romnesia has resulted in the Salt Lake Tribune, a Mormon Utah newspaper no less, to endorse Obama. If a Mormon Utah newspaper does not like Romney than who the hell out there genuinely does?

Clap if you want, but this isn’t a campaign winner for a Democrat and could possibly hurt.
The winner — if Obama and the Democratic Party want to put an end all the silly stuff — is shipping US manufacturing jobs to other countries. It’s actually been the winner for twenty years.
And btw, Sensata was another Bain Capital owned company that benefited from the GM and Chrysler bailouts.
If you claim you care about 100 percent of the people after you told your rich supporters your job is not to care about the 47 percent who consider themselves victims, that’s Romnesia.
I’m just going to repeat my observation from earlier that Romney’s team spent all of the two days after the debate trying desperately to make up for all his faux pas’ with women. Meanwhile the Democrats have been launching massive campaigns focused on women. Both sides have to see this as THE key final voting block for this election.
I was glad to see Planned Parenthood sent a mailer to my 18 year old daughter yesterday. She’s already voting for Obama of course, but it was a simple letter showing the two positions. My daughter is registered unaffiliated. I’m guessing they are targeting this mailing to women ages 18 – ? who are registered voters and unaffiliated. Perfect timing.
So, this is all good news. Good to let women see the GOP for what they are. But bloody hell – the GOP is on the record as saying they are going to pass the Ryan budget if they get the trifecta of House, Senate, and Presidency. Everyone who votes GOP should know that this means guaranteed health care for seniors ends for those under age 55. For some reason our media just can’t communicate this – if they did Obama and his party would be up by a landslide in the polls.
My sincerest apologies to Pete Seeger, and Idris Davies.
Oh what’s in it for me?
Say the sad bells of Romney.
Can we steal from the future?
Say the orange bells of Boehner
Who made the job creator?
Say the black bells of SeeYouLater
And what happened to the job workers?
Say the grim bells of StuckPorkers.
Put reprobates on Supreme Court
Say the bells of SelfDeport.
All will be well if, if, if, if
Say the lying bells of TrickleDownEconomics,
Why so worried sisters? Why?
Just trust us, we’re on your side.
And what’s in it for me?
Say the sad bells of Romney.
