Plus Romney Failed To "Thank" 9/11 First Responders

Ok, so Romney caught crap, deservedly so, from rightwing warmongers like draft dodger Billy Kristol for not thanking our Troops in war during his acceptance speech for the nomination of Commander in Chief.

To slither a 'makeup' for his failure, Mitt Romney issued a statement today regarding the 11 year anniversary of September 11, 2001 where he thanked our Troops -finally- but failed to mention the First Responders who, without blinking, rushed into two burning buildings, literally risked their lives to protect Americans and foreigners who were trapped inside the two Twin Towers.

Promises Kept

“If there's a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that matters to me, even if it's not my child. If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for their prescription, who has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer - even if it's not my grandparent. If there's an Arab-American or Mexican-American family being rounded up by John Ashcroft without benefit of an attorney or due process, I know that that threatens my civil liberties. And I don't have to be a woman to be concerned that the Supreme Court is trying to take away a woman's right, because I know that my rights are next. It is that fundamental belief - I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper - that makes this country work.”― Barack Obama
