Mitt Romney Appears On SNL To Reassure Voters That He’s Doing Very Well

video
» 39 comments

Oh, Mitt Romney. You are having such a hard time in the primaries, and also on Saturday Night Live! Jason Sudeikis reprised his role as the GOP frontrunner to deliver a message to voters, which he did standing next to an empty chair like a totally normal human being. He wanted to quell concerns that his campaign might be peaking too soon, as he got totally trounced in Missouri and Colorado by Rick Santorum. Not only that, but Newt Gingrich finished one or two percentage points behind him in each contest! How embarrassing!

When he tried to attack Gingrich for his poor performance in Missouri (complete with a “Debbie Downer”-style sad trombone), he had to face the unfortunate reality that Gingrich wasn’t even on the ballot. Romney tried to switch the focus to his adorable golden retriever Barrett, but it didn’t go as planned, as Barrett will never forget what was done to him.

You can watch the full clip here via NBC:

    Ahhh, yes — Mitt Romney, a drum major in mediocrity on parade a/k/a the GOP presidential candidate field.

    Who does Jeffy Immelt TV have playing Brick OBAMO? These radical Leftist media hacks seem to pay no attention to Brick OBAMO because they want to BJ him into a second term.

    EVERYONE knows this to be true.

    Fred Armison plays him on a regular basis. I suggest you actually have sue clue what you are talking about before spouting off.

    Mitt Romney has done a better job of making himself a caricature than anybody has.

    Mitt’s dad was a carpenter and that’s how he built Mitt.

    Mitt made up for it with very strong wins over Santorum in Maine and conservative CPAC!

    Romney/Rubio 2012!

    Definitely no to Santorum.

    Yup. Romney put his dog on the roof of his family wagon. 

    It “went” and poo ran down the window. Mitt had to wash it down. Then, He just went back to driving with the dog on top of his family wagon.

    Keep talking smack, lefties!!!!

    Just wait till that famous highly effective cancerous smear machine, called the Romney campaign turns it’s sights on Hussein Obama and the party of racism.

    Look I’ve been a Romney detractor but there is no doubt, the man will run an absolute vicious campaign. And he is scaring Axle Rod and Obama so much that they have to now accept millions from the evil corporations.

    So just keep on waiting and spitting all over the constitution and religion.    it’s coming, its coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     There’s nothing on Obama. It would be out already. McCain would have put it out 3 1/2 years ago. You tried to call him a Muslim. Tried to convince the country he wasn’t born here. Tried to make it look like he didn’t put his hand over his heart during a national anthem. Tried to make his friends (Common) look like thugs. The only thing Romney has is 250 million dollars stuffed in his magic underwear.

    The dog appeared to be barking at something to our left, not directly at “Mitt Romney”. It did appear to be more intense than they had expected . . .

  • shonangreg

     You could understand him? The dog in the skit made more sense than GRSBPRSG did here.

  • shonangreg

    Give the man his due. Romney is not just mediocre; he is severely mediocre ;-)

    I don’t speak Retriever. Can anyone translate what the dog was saying?

    Willard Romney, liar and loser…..willl never win, guarantee it.

  • http://www.proactivepolitics.blogspot.com/ Norbit Peters

    Did Romney make any statements on the Pesident’s takeover of the Catholic Church?

    There’s probably going to be some great Sermons today – effecting millions of devout voters – about the Democrats’ WAR ON RELIGION! And let’s not forget the angst of the other Christian groups, and religious Jews.

    Oh, and should we address the President as King Obama, Junta Leader Obama or does it change now to Pope Obama?

  • http://www.proactivepolitics.blogspot.com/ Norbit Peters

    No, the mainstream media has been protecting him, even more fiercely than they do your typical lib Democrat, for the past 4 years.

    His record, his ACTIONS vs.his LIES, and now he exposes himself as the ideologue anti-Christian Marxist he truly is?

    No, come 11-06-12, this guy who many refer to now as the anti-Christ (heh-heh, honestly I’ve heard that melodious phrase on numerous occasions) is TOAST!

    Romney was always going to win to be the Republican nominee, but the question becomes how damaged he will be next fall.

    Are you seriously outraged by a SNL skit?

  • Anonymous

    I’m sure Obama is scared. They would never take millions of dollars in donations if they weren’t. They did the same against McCain last time. I’m sure they were scared of him as well.

    Can’t play the anti-Christian card, the Republican nominee is a Mormon.

    I think the question becomes how badly he damages the congressional races.

    Pretty sure the dog was supposed to bark just like he did.  During the skit the dog was focused on and taking direction from a trainer just off camera.

    AMBER ALERT:

    President Obama’s character (played by Fred Armisen) is missing in action and is believed to be held hostage. 

    Obama has not appeared in an SNL sketch in several months and Police fear the worst.

    If you have any information about his whereabouts please contact the appropriate authorities.

  • Anonymous

    There’s nothing on Obama? Yeah your right, there’s no:

    loss of billions down the drain with solyndra (along with many other companies failing like it) which coincidentally happen to be owned by big political donors of his

    fast and furious gunwalking disaster

    record deficits (the first president to run a trillion dollar deficit- and he’s done it now all three years!) http://granitegrok.com/blog/2011/07/data_point_obamas_annual_deficits

    record amount of bureaucrats in Washington with record pay
    issuing a record amount of executive orders (bypassing congress)
    lying about issuing no signing statements (he has)
    lying about having no lobbyists in the WH (he did)
    lying about not using a super pac (after demonizing them)
    lying about being the most transparent administration in history and then made this (!) his first executive order sealing all his records:
    http://www.fas.org/sgp/obama/presidential.html 

    illegal non-recess “recess” appointments
    obamacare’s unconstitutional mandate- and then waiving those mandates for democrat political donors (like for restaurants in Pelosi’s district- I mean, really?) http://blog.sfgate.com/djsaunders/2011/05/17/nancy-pelosi-district-hauls-in-obamacare-waivers/

    backing an illegal war in libya
    blocking the keystone pipeline
    failing to support the protest movement in Iran yet supported one in Eygpt, which is now destabilized and is fast becoming a Islamic state.

    subsidizing the failed chevy volt & cash for clunkers at heavy cost to taxpayers as a kickback to UAW and democratic union donors

    The disastrous consequences on jobs in the gulf region from the moratorium of drilling in the gulf, but yet FINANCING Brazil’s (Petrobras) drilling, paying them 2 BILLION:
    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203863204574346610120524166.html

    I mean, do I need to go on? Because I certainly can.

    But other than this, yeah there’s nothing on Obama. LOL.

    Woof!

  • Centrist79

    10% approval ratings have damaged Congress. I am not sure Romney was ever going to be a coattails candidate anyway.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_TWK2YYJTTIDLZIVV7NKZM23Z6Q Tyler

    Their making Romney like Al Gore. What’s with this dog?  Was that a stunt dog or what?   I thought Romney lost his dog off the roof.
