Also, Obama hates apple pie

Yesterday, Republican Presidential candidate and front-runner, Mitt Romney, said this:

"I think president Obama wants to make us a European style welfare state, where instead of being a merit society we're an entitlement society, where government's role is to take from some and give to others," Romney told the crowd.

"What I know is if they do that, they'll substitute envy for ambition, and they'll poison the very spirit of America and keep us from being one nation under God." Link

This statement is so inane, so silly, so utterly deluded, that it should cause anyone seriously considering this man as Presidential material to have their head examined. Mitt is simply lying (aka making crap up off the top of his head) and fear-mongering to pander to the conservative base to win the Iowa caucuses.

But then, this is Mitt Romney so it’s not really surprising.
